I haven't been there, but I'm pretty sure the venue will be better than the old shoebox.

How does it compare with Home, in terms of layout, style & architecture, sound system, and lighting?

I like Home very much, it's easily the best club venue I've experienced. If Arq is anywhere as good, it certainly would be awesome.

Hahahaha... in similar words to our much-respected moderator, this site is tranceaddict, not fat-progressive-beats-addict.

The correct spelling is: Semen.

hehe sid strikes!

umm trance is cool, i mean after all its is what got me hooked, and I will always respect that but im a changed man now

side note: for me personally I find progressive trance to be more trancey than uplifting/energetic/euphoric/whathaveyou

those deep spacey hypnotic grooves is what really puts me into a "trance", not the pumping euphoric type with full on synths n stuff

thats just me tho

hehehehe yeah anything with a touch of melody and a beat that is really catchy and friendly on the ear, definitely has me.

Back to the topic, but sorry to attack anyone, I just think that it is morally incorrect (because I am a man of morals you see ) to say come here because of this and come here because of that. We are a community, and should support each other in the best possible way for our scene/music/genre to get the proper recognition it deserves here in the harbour city of Sydney.

well said sid!!

i totally agree i know that it is difficult for promoters to be supportive of each other when both events are on the same night considering they are trying to attract a very similar audience. however i think they should focus on pushing what differentiates their event to the other to draw crowds rather than going on about how much better their event will be compared to the other.

"sticking the knife in"... very melodramatic.

And I�m only on my third Bourbon & Coke

I regret my reply to Joshva�s post appearing personal. It was not my intention to be offensive. I guess I�m guilty of an occasional kneejerk but in this case I considered his statement �soaring a hell of a lot higher at ARQ than if you were at Icebox� as unwarranted criticism of the young DJs who will be playing at the Icebox. As a long-term listener to the Rush program I�ve been impressed by their efforts to raise the profile of the Sydney trance scene over the last three years and also the fact that they are actively developing new talent. As for Jumping Jack, Diggs n Morro, Joshua van Aalst, I have seen them all spin and it goes without saying that they are an extremely talented lineup whose positive contribution to the scene is unquestionable. And I may be accused of bias here but in my opinion Diggs n Morro ruuuuulezzzz!!!!!!!! Some memorable and awesome nights at GAS will remain with me forever. Legends!

But having said that I don�t think I will offend anybody by saying that the night at ARQ is just another gig � as opposed to the Icebox event as being something very special � the big supporter of the Sydney scene coming out for their first live event. I believe we should get behind this event and really support our young talent.

Sure the venue is not the best but if we all decided that we only wanted to drive Ferarris then we would do a lot of walking. In my opinion it�s all about the music � not how the mirrorballs are moving. And you can be confident that the organisation will be spot on as the promoter Tom Brown runs the very successful Slinky events in Ibiza each year.

Oh yeah, I don�t mind a drink or three and early indications are that my mothballed wallet will see me out nicely at Icebox as opposed the gold lined one I assume will be required at ARQ.

Not intending to offend � just offering a different slant.

josh - i think you are taking it a bit personally. the nights clash, get over it. you have put on some great trance nights recently and i am fully suportive of what you are doing (hell, im more likely to go to arq this friday than rush anyway) but it has to be said that you are completely out of line with recent comments and trying to get ppl to side with your night over rush is totally unncecessary. im sure people have the intellectual capacity to make up their own minds on this issue. perhaps you should show some more respect to other people who are trying just as hard as you to improve sydney's uplifting trance scene, rather than rallying against them.

Just had a listen to a set by Jumping Jack, and I have to say its pretty damn good!! Yeah he played Circa Forever again, but it's such a great track! Should be good to see how he plays at ANOT!!

Originally posted by Joshva Hi I saw that a fair few people are tossing up between coming to this event and Rush. So i thought i'd chip in my two cents: 1) ARQ is an amazing venue and it is not every day we have the chance to hear Ultra uplifting trance music in a venue like that. When comparing ARQ to Icebox, ARQ eats Icebox alive. ARQ has a massive arena with around 30 moving head lights on individual hydraulics, a dual full colour oracle laser and 2 high powered green lasers, it also has numerous special effects and centre piece lights. Operated by one of Australia's best lighting operators (as said by Elliot - Ellwa Home's lighting operator). This is topped off with a 5 way custom built JBL sound system. Icebox on the other hand has 6 moving mirror lights and one really old not very powerful laser. It also has a 3 way off the rack sound system. 2) I have noticed that the music of the two nights has been compared and people are saying Rush has Progressive, Tech and Trance and A Night Of Trance only Uplifting and Euphoric Trance. Yes that is true but i'm sure that when the ANOT DJ's Jumping Jack, Diggs n Morro, Joshua van Aalst e.t.c. drop those massive uplifting and euphoric trance tracks you will be soaring a hell of a lot higher at ARQ than if you were at Icebox. 3) Not only this but normally as you know ARQ is a gay and lesbian venue. This is the first time the club has really been opened for a straight event. This is your chance to see what everyone has been raving about. You can go to Icebox almost any night Halycon has been there, A Night Of Trance has been there and now Rush. It is a venue that has often been used for Trance.

cant' believe what im reading.. you may be right with everything you have suggested, but this is hardly the right way to go about things. if anything i'd say you would have a decreased attendance from the TA masses, just on principle alone.

lets hope you don't usually market your nights by openly bagging other such events..

bad move dude..
bad move

How highly u really soar depends on some other factors, as my "off-chops" good buddy Sid will explain..

Basically, Rush puts on their event even after knowing Josh's event is on the same night... and Josh is meant to continue going about his business without a worry in the world? I'd be freaking out in desperation (actually already did on trancetribe!). Did the Rush crew have any respect for Josh?

It can be difficult not to be emotional in this situation, especially for those of us who have a passion for the scene... even more difficult, I presume, for those who have a major personal financial stake.

Hyperdimension,

Until you know every variable on the whole situation, stop presuming things. You only know 1 side of the coin, and there's 2 sides to every story.

Yes, both nights are on the same Friday, it's unfortunate for the scene, and also a once off.

You're putting pressure on Rush making them look like the bad guys. Unless you've spoken to Tom Brown directly, you're not aware of what/why and how the nights have ended up clashing. Everything is an pressumption.

Let me make a few presumptions of my own:-

ANOT was in doubt for at least a week. Tom had to make a decision about weather or not to throw the party, and it was in the period that RUSH decided to go ahead. It was also in this period, That fliers were created, marketing developed on Nova/Rush, and Advertising created/arranged/placed in 3dworld. It was also in this time that a release went out to ITM and various other websites.

After ANOT was then confirmed at Arq, it was all to late. There's a lot of costs they can't get out of, and have to go through with.

I'm not saying any or all of the above is correct, but it's quite possible.

It's looks like your posts are based on emotion more then researched fact. Glad to see you're putting your heart behind Josh and what he's doing, but please think about the damage you're doing to that other unrsearched side of the coin.

I'm not defending Rush or putting down ANOT, I have and will support both nights, for their music policies, DJ's and the fact they both play trance. I would just like to see some balanced posting on the topic for once.

Thanks,
--djway
