I am broke as at the moment so getting to melbounre would only be possible by car . I just got a written warning for to many days off work and i am rostered on sunday nights ( which sucks!!!). So as i said if i can possibly make it i will be there .

That set he played at st pauls that new years down stairs wasn't one of his best , the energy wasn't there and the sound sucked ass so you can't blame him for that . And as you said the KIDS didn't recognise him and thats all you get at your shows KIDS.
Maybe if you booked him regularly the KIDS would get educated as to what a good mix sounds like and would be there in droves.
There is a good techno following once again and i think it is time for cams return .

Can u play faster ? WTF ????

Its about the journey what does speed have to do with that , if your on the dancefloor in tune with the dj thats all that matters .
Depth of sound and mix . If you can feel it you are there . Fuck this doof doof doof shit with no soul .

Go cam !!!

Don't think I ever saw HMC play anywhere ... or if I was at an event that he played at I never knew about him at the time.

From what everyone says he was a pretty wicked DJ, but WAS is probably the telling word here. If he is no longer interested in playing out then his legacy is just hangin on in people's memories.

... and basically has no relevance now. I wanna go out and see people who do want to play - like all entertainers they come and go and have their 5 minutes of fame - but the party goes on forever and the next lot of clubbers coming along will have their own faves to dance to.

When we can go see Bold, Jorge, Devo, Adam Beyer, Advent, Speedy J, Marco Carola, Oxia, Slam etc why would anyone really care about a DJ who used does not want to play anymore?

Ntrance- thankfully HMC has enjoyed much more than 5 minutes of fame and at his age he is entitled to take a break ..........

Not dissing your event suenomartino, just that every time there is mention of Techno on Adelaide ITM HMC's name is bought into the topic - but he is obviously not interesteed anymore. Fair enough on his part.

HDP, as for HMC having more than 5 minutes of fame, that's all well and good, but really makes no difference either ... George Best was a wicked soccer player for Man Utd (when they could get him out of the pub or jail and onto the pitch), yet any fans who support Manchester now have new hero's like Van Nistelrooy, Keane, Giggs etc - who play week in week out, and mostly I suspect could not give a shit about some old player who retired ages ago.

End of my 5c worth - if I get to see HMC play I may well change my mind, but until then ...

This guy is the best Techno Australia has ever exported and is a genuine amazing producer and DJ (very rare), I dont blame Cam for not wanting to play every weekend in Adelaide. He knows its all changed, and the majority of people who would listen dont seem to be there anymore,.

And i can vauch for that, you guys really need to get things happening in that city again. We would gladly accept Cam in Sydeny.

and your ITM name dosnt give you much cred either.

I hear ya!

If you ever do get the chance to see Cam do his thing in Adelaide, dont miss it. He is a living legend and unfortunately highly underrated in his hometown. There is no accounting for taste I guess.

Keep in mind techno is only one of the genres that he spans too - and his best sets have always been the ones where he covers it all (house, techno, disco, etc etc)

Cam isnt underrated and never was in this town.

Its just that Adelaide kept moving forward but he didnt. You cant expect an entire scene to stall because a DJ who used to be great chose to stop moving forward.

He may seem great to most people in Melbourne and Sydney but thats more because the standard of jocks in both cities is rather appalling. Anybody can sound good next to most the DJs in either cities!!!

I agree if you knew anything about techno your name would be NTECH , but as you obviously don't i would say Ntrance basically sums up all the cheesey crap techno that the guys you like play .

As for cam he plays REAL minimal techno , i have said it before but the guy has bloody good taste in tracks .

And nodsta cam didn't have to go forward as you would put it cause he was at the front . There are djs everywhere with taste playing similar tracks just not here .

There are few producers making real techno now , i would lable most of the new style 'techtrance' as that is where it has gone .
Techno lives on in its true state in artists such as james ruskin ,
oliver ho , UR , jay denham , mills , etc . But as for the new oliver lieb style cheesy crap i think not .

Last time i saw cam was at Clash of titans before Richie and that was a really good set, it help to build into a really good night. It made it probably really easy for richie because it was an almost electric mood in ST Pauls from his mix.

He is one of Australia's best techno Dj's. He Brillarnt to see in full force. I'd love to see CAM play out more, but its his choice.

Saying the kids dont know who he is is stupid, cause i aint that old and i diffently know who HMC is.

Here's hope'n he reads this and see how much he still loved by Adelaide Techno and dance commuinity

I think you might have a little bit of small town syndrome happening Nodsta, chill mate.

i am saying that Adelaide has one of the worlds best producers/dj's living down there. You are saying were all "appalling" and cant dj?! woohoo!! whatever mate seriously. We reeeeeally like the ladies (very cute) down there, it seems that they arnt very well looked after eithertongue

Ive played in perth, Melbourne, Sydney etc a good 5 or more times in each city plus Ive partied in all places on a lot of other occasions.

Add to this the fact that Ive seen hundreds of DJs from said cities play here in Adelaide. Maybe Im biased but the standard on a whole in Adelaide blows all of these places out of the water!!

I never said that he wasn't a brilliant DJ, in fact everyone says he was the business ... it's just that a DJ who doesn't play anywhere (as good as he may have been) is really just a side note in Adelaide's dance music history, along with plenty of others I suspect.

cool mate!! I ve played in adelaide a few times as well, not as many as five though.

I have played minke (rip), cargo (in it heyday), and at the woolshed.

where have you played in sydney, just wondering as to how you have come to to the conclusion we cant mix?

I have heard some cool dj's from adelaide, nothing over and above found any other city though.

Do you play in clubs or homes?? Cause I am thinking your biased opinion may have some insecurities attached to it.
It sounds like something a 15yr old would say, have you ever seen HMC play??
