German TA in Sydney right now

hi guys,

well I know i'm really late posting this, but what the hell. Anyway, I just arrived in Sydney today and will stay for 1 week. So wanted to ask if there is any good party I should go to. Obviously, there is Tiesto Saturday AND Sunday (!?!), but I don't think that's my cup of tea when I read that it is being compared to TIC and that "these are concert productions and not all night dance parties so stay tuned to local news for official after party�s" (from inthemix).

I'd rather go to a proper party and, well, party

So how about
Lost Baggage - Alex Smoke LIVE & Matthias Tanzmann
Saturday, 3rd May @ The Cross <>

Would be convenient location-wise, as I'm staying in the area.

Or:
Club Club pres. Paolo Mojo (UK, 3-hour set)
Saturday, 3rd May @ Chinese Laundry
<>

Any feedback welcome

...are u planning to come down to Melbourne as well?

both of those parties will be grand .. nights at laundry are always a good time and the lost baggage kids know how to throw some pretty cool parties too

clubwise laundry is more dingy dark and underground feeling whereas the cross is a bit more well-lit and vibrant .. depends what your forte is i guess .. baggage also attracts an older crowd and has themed nights

which is OK if the music is good....

meaning? gay nights or what? not important at all, just need/want GOOD music

Anyway, will see what I end up doing. Thanks again

you sure? Do be honest I have to admit that I'm not sure what style he spins. I know he's done some parties with the Groovanauts crowd in the US (dunno if any of yoiu are familier with them, in the US there is some overlap with TA), which I why I assume he'd be more like prog. Correct me if I'm wrong. Again, my personal favorite music style is techno.

both events push good tunes

chinese laundry is split in 2, the cave and the "laundry" .. cave has been the hub for minimal/techno/general headcave music for a long long time whereas "laundry" room pushes more electro etc .. so you get a mix of crowds which seems to work but generally when im there i stay in the cave

if i had to choose i'd personally pick baggage, you cant go wrong with 3 internats .. plus the support lineup is solid and you have 3 rooms with different music policies to choose from as opposed to 2 in laundry, 1 of which plays jams you probably wouldnt enjoy

also mojo has been playing more techno'y type shit lately, along the same vein as his productions

OK just to let zou guys know, I did go to Bagage and it was really good. Got really busy only after 2. I didn't ike the main floor much, though, both Alex Smoke and Murat were somehow lame. The second floor however was top, very danceable minimal techno stuff, really good. So I was happy

Thanks again for your feedback
