Thats a pretty good idea actually, Here in Adelaide Matt Darey gets lots of radio play on Fresh FM and he would get a big crowd down here alone. I don't know how well known he is in Sydney though?


Posted by gumble on Mar-05-2004 11:47:

echo *may* be getting Misja Helsoot here, with *maybe* Dekay as well.

Combined Fabric / Echo night.


HOW GOOD IS THAT????

your amazing foresight has granted you a name which has trance infused in its name. Me and you, we are on the same wave length baby. Im just spreading trance plur. Me and my perth attitude.

ps: listen to my mix huebor
pps: bassaholix - stick to the chill out forum if you dont like my perth attitude?

How about Nick Bracegirdle, also known as Disco Citizens and Chicane?
I missed seeing him when he was here last time. He has credibility in both the mainstream and the trance community. He's not a DJ, but he can play live.

Having a multi-room event will increase costs.
I personally don't like it when there are many rooms, because my ticket is paying for many rooms when really I can only be in one room at one time. It's a bit like going to the cinema and paying for a few films, but only watching one. I really would prefer a pure melodic trance event.


Posted by lethal on Mar-06-2004 06:23:

Chicane is an excellent choice imo..... he is known by the masses, and respected in the trance community - and a live set would definitely bring in the trance elitists....

I am a big fan of the 2 room config even if one room is little more then a chillout room with a breaks (or similar) dj playing.... its good to provide alternatives cause they attract more people and give people the chance to relax away from the primary music..... but each to their own...


Posted by starsurfer on Mar-06-2004 06:27:

lots of things to consider, thanks for the input.

You may also want to look at putting someone on the lineup like BeXta, Nik, Nervous or Peewee because as much as WE know their music (and music skills) arent great - they DO attract a following....


That's a pretty harsh way to talk about the most successful Dj's in Australia. While I don't like the hard stuff, those guys still have amazing skills, and their music, while not the general TA liking, is still the kmost popular in Australia

I wouldn't put any of thos guys on, because they are hard trance, and the TT event is all about prgressive/melodic/tech/uplifting, with teh hardest stuff being the tougher tunes that Jumping Jack would play.

I am thinking that an international is not all that important. Nor is two rooms. Trying to keep costs down, we are going to aim at a 500 person sized party... and if we get more, bonus!

I think having 2 rooms would bring more people in. I don't think Trance can stand alone in this point in time.

I think Chicane is a great idea, and live would be even better, if not then what about or Lange or Ultrafusion


Posted by lethal on Mar-06-2004 08:04:

Scott: It may have been a pretty harsh call but still have you tried listening to their mixing abilities??? Only Peewee has any true mixing ability out of those 4 (with Nik prolly 2nd)....

I know its not to my taste and that influences my opinion but i know what good mixing is and so i feel my opinion is valid....

Popularity is not a definition of skill and talent....


Posted by Joshva on Mar-06-2004 08:19:

Yes true being popular doesn't equate to talent.

But you can't really be saying that Bexta has no talent. I remember when she played the set before Fat Boy Slim at the UNSW Roundhouse a couple of years back. She worked the crowd into an utter frenzy, and when Fatboy Slim played it sounded terrible because he just wasn't working it like she was. Also wasn't she voted the number 1 DJ last year on ITM? She wouldn't have got there if she had no talent.

Also i have heard Bragi rave about her skills when she plays live (I haven't heard her play live) and if he said she had skills i believe him.

Just because she doesn't play the music you like doesn't mean she has little mixing skills.



and I think i read a slur against Bassaholix. I sincerely hope that was a joke because if you know him in real life you'll know he is an utter champ and one of the nicest guys.


Posted by starsurfer on Mar-07-2004 01:02:

I have never really noticed their mixing skills. Most of the time I don't notice mixing skills, unless it is amazingly good.. such as Tiesto in Melbourne... his mixing blew me away, even more than Armin.

Bad skills aside, I'm worried that by having two rooms may weaken the crowd a little in the main room. We have JJ in the main room, which would bring some of the JJ fans.

I really think JJ is doing big things for OUR trance scene, because many of his Hard Trance groupies are following his change in style,a nd moving to the uplifting sound.

Heck, I noticed this at armin, that much of the normal subs crowd was really digging t he uplifting stuff!

Posted by muli on Mar-07-2004 05:09:

JJ is really keen on setting up his own uplifting night Maybe you guys could work with him as this would bring a lot of experience in the industry.


Scottie u must have a nice loan account

Look forward to hearing your feedback.


To be honest that line up of local talent is pathetic. Sample Gee what can i say LOL. Wouldnt pay 20 bucks to see those guys who seem to play just whatever tiesto was spinning a month ago. If youre gonan limit the party to just trance DJ's, then youre only gonna pull in the trance crowd and judging from attendance of other so called "trance" parties its nothing to look forward too.

On a lighter note, I would love to see a Regular type event as polished as the Underage Utopia (Sydney) but with more mature music eg House or non cheesy Trance.


Posted by eRRaTiK on Mar-07-2004 12:58:

bring on nervous!!

looks alright, venue?

I remember that event and I remember that Bexta did DJ well. I was however VEY impressed with Fat Boy and have been every 3 times I have seen him.

Save Fatboy!


Posted by tubby on Mar-07-2004 22:48:

a few ppl have mentioned matt darey again. his reputation is getting out again, with the re-release of his older stuff. Anyone know who's bringing him out in april? maybe worth a call to his agents?
the two room format is more expenses for everyone, when you can only be in one room at a time. Maybe a small chillout area, rather than a second dancing area.


Posted by lethal on Mar-08-2004 01:14:

Josh: I never slurred Bassaholix!! Im not sure where that comments come from.....

Maybe im the only one that does care about mixing, but personally if the mixings shit i cant enjoy the night no matter how good the tracks are....

As for BeXta, i agree 3 years ago she was good - i enjoyed what she played back then but has anyone heard her recently??? True i havent heard her for about 6 months now but when i was hearing her regularly her mixing generally left a hell of a lot to be desired!! Oh and she only plays live sets very rarely, so it would be (i suspect) very expensive to get her to play one!!

But as i said im just putting down ideas, u can feel free to disagree...


Posted by Joshva on Mar-08-2004 01:45:

Hey I wasn't talking about you

escee i believe


Posted by Chookie on Mar-08-2004 01:45:

I would have to agree that Nik Fish, Bexta etc have not impressed me at all in the last 12 months. Besides the fact they play too hard for my liking, they aren't very friendly and tend to not really put anything into what they are playing.

mixing is a big part for me, i have heard some shocking mixing in my time and it has put me right off. Sucks when you pay big money for an international and they cant mix.


Posted by lethal on Mar-08-2004 05:21:

It sucks when any dj plays that cant mix - international or local!!

After hearing the likes of Cam, Diggs & morro, Muli and god knows how many other "up & coming" djs - i honestly cant understand why people still have the same respect for the old guard that after so many years in the scene SHOULD be able to mix to perfection but cant!!

I suppose it all comes down to our society's fetish for brand names....


Posted by starsurfer on Mar-09-2004 07:46:

I tend to agree with the comment about the up and coming DJs mixing as good or better than the main stream popular trance DJs.

I think it's because we arer all trying really hard to be good.. and the only thing we can really be good at is our mixng, then track selection.. then maybe interaction with the crowd etc.

PS - this event would most likely be going ahead in early June.

I think I said it before, but I'll say it again:

I promise to have THE BEST sound, and THE BEST lighting for this event I have some very clever people who will be working with us!
