Some help for a newbie :).....

Hi All

Firstly just let me say it is an honour to be part of this forum with such a great group of people.

It is interesting reading all the impressions people have of the events they have been to. I am slowly learning about aspects of the adelaide scene.

I was wondering if I could ask a huge favor and get some more info about the different clubs around adelaide and who knows possibly some new clubbing partners as I am pretty much a virgin to the clubs of adelaide just having turned 18 in the middle of the year. Cheesy Grin

I am especially hoping to catch Tiesto the legend on christmas night and Sanchez on NYE.

All the best everyone

sean

trance and techno are small, but not dead.

System 6 shows and all the big raves are mostly hardhouse and drum and bass - by far the most popular styles of dance in Adelaide.

The only chance you have of seeing any Trance is if Heaven bring someone over ie: Tiesto (don't miss this one) or 4 Strings.

Techno usually has one of the smaller stages at most of the big parties (thanks to Devious :-) also Wind Up now at its new home Traffic on Nth Terrace, Techno has a small but wicked party crew who all meet up for each event.

Fabric is the main progressive nite (also caters for breaks) not sure where its home is now, either Black Cat White Cat or Traffic I presume.

Push, Karma are hard house, hard trance nites and Soda Room has a variety of House, Trance and hard trance on Friday nites ... I think that just about covers it.

There will be lots of us at Tiesto on Xmas nite, PM me I will introduce you to lots of people from ITM :-)

You've been 18 for 6 months, we'll my suggestion is just start going out.

And you be amazed at the number of people you will meet if you go by yourself, it's not that hard.

I would like to see you say that when you are standing in middle of 80,000 trance fans at Dance Valley!!! With Tiesto, Armin, Ferry etc all bangin' it out to the biggest crowd you have ever seenSmilie

Buz you should have added the bit on the end ... in Adelaide (as most of us Tech fans know only too well).

Check out Charlie's tour pics ... Techno is still huge in Europe ... just not here Frown

pretty much got it there buz. i think you left out hardcore. although not many dedicated nights (i think knightvision?) but if you look at midtown/systo flyers and the parties being held and realise that a lot of adelaides party djs play hardcore and the nu hardcore style is coming back (although im not much into it), then i think its fair to say there is a distinct area for hardcore.

if you want to go out on a friday, youve pretty much only got soda room on pirie st (read ari's posts) because basically, friday nights havent worked in the past and so all the loser rnb poser get-ups have their bling blingers on friday while post people with good music tastes are at home Cheesy Grin

various places to go on a saturday. although adelaide is dominated by hard house and dnb, there arent many club nights for those styles, i guess karma gets harder but thats about it really. chemistry on thurs was always good but numbers havent been up on regular nights (well they werent about a month or 2 ago)

theres probably a lot more others can say so will leave it there.

yes true, for some reason there is little trance in adelaide, i guess it all comes back to who the core promoters are and what styles they decide to showcase on their nights. although trance is very small/dead in adelaide, it is still the most recognised style worldwide, or was anyway, many big names eg corsten, armin etc all play it.

that said, i love the adelaide scene, because i am not a fan of trance at all, i fucken hate rnb and everything that goes with it, i play funky house, hard house and hardcore as a dj and dont mind listening to drum n bass.

This Week at The Cumby:

Friday - Fashion - the best in house Music with Brendon, K2, Lachy Pender, Didge and guests

Saturday - Das Haus - the sexiest haus music and breaks around with Dlux, Lachy Pender, Didge, Pab and guests

trance is wicked and still has a spot in adelaide..large crouds at heaven for 4 strings, blank and jones and the trance djs at enchanted show. House/trance is played at soda room on friday nights and has a strong croud every week. Adelaide lacks in dj's that play trance, most just wanna bang out the hardhouse.

True... Blank and Jones and 4 Strings were huge nights.. Personally I prefer trance to Hard House for sure anyday..

The whats on guide in Onion and the street press in general's proabably a good one to suss out sean.. It's out Thursdays fortnightly from all record stores, clubs, fashion stores and the likes where other free street presses can be found...

thanks everyone

thanks for the feedback and welcomes guys, it has been very helpful.

i hope to be meeting and seeing some of the fellow board members out and about.

so from what i have read from your posts, breaks doesnt have a real big scene in adelaide yet...which is a little sad because it is my favourite genre. big thanks to John Doe for bringing it into adelaide Smilie

Tim.. sorry didnt see your question there.. I forget that I post in threads...

Umm Saturday night Karisma@ The Vines (in the Riverland )

dj's ATB, Sav, Silv, Jimm-e, Mk1 (Mark Morena) and MC Mark (from Rise in Adelaide and a few other places)..

Usually they have dnb @ Karisma but ATB is back again this time so interesting to see how things go.. I will be there though not sure how hammer and tongs I'll be going.. Kinda feeling a bit after having big ones Wed/Thurs/Friday so we will see how I go..

Sure there will be some songs that i'll have to have a boogy too though..

yes will definately be interesting, when steves nights were called anabolic frolic or whatever they were i remember seeing atb there, i think about 5 people dancing....trance didnt go well that night.

will still be there, good to see how the other guys are going, havent spoken to jimmy in a while, will be good to see what silvio is playing these days as well.

seeya tonight if im not still too burnt dammit

LOL Yeah it was anabolic anthems.. but i like the sound of frolic.. hehehe

Yeah be interesting to see how ATB goes tonight. I think since then the Riverland crowd have become a tad more educated in things dance and there are more happier ppl round then there were before in the region too Wink...

I not sure If I'll be having a big one at all... after just getting out of bed now cause of 2 days partying and no sleep I feeling a bit fragile and old too Frown See what happens though am sure I'll probably get out there for a bit of a boogy and I think I might be door bitching for a bit tonight too... dunno

Seeya there Tim.. You should of stayed at Chem was a well wicked night.. ohh and I did get a very vauge sms from you that morning too LOL

Trance will never die!!

If you want to start an argument with turntablists, there's 2 ways to do it:

1. Say Vestax PDX or Numark TTX are better than Technics

2. State that vinyl is dead and CD's are the way forward.

The first one will continue to go on for years and never be answered. The second however, is open for discussion.

Dont know Khem.. dunno

Last night was good.. ATB played a rocking set as did our local boys Sav, Silv and Jimmy... Good to see you both Tim and March-E busting a move. Wish I could have enjoyed it more but my back was so sore though I did manage to think fuck the pain and dance to the last track of the night.. damn that track ROCKS!!!!!... He always ends it off with his set too...
