I think I have most of Ultra-sonic's albums and around 10 CD singles.
Their album "Tekno Junkies" is their best work, they were pioneers of rave music back around 7 or 8 years ago.
My favourite track would be "Obsession", it has an extremely euphoric raw feel, with beautiful sweeping synths and strong uplifting vocals. It's an ideal example of classic "old-school" euphoric rave music.
The track is on Central Nervous System 1 mixed by DJ Vagas. Now there's a DJ I haven't heard of in 7 years! This was back when the rave scene was in full underground swing and hardcore and happy hardcore were the sounds of the time. Remeber "Here's Johnny"? I hated that track! Looking back, it was quite funny. 
I thought Ultra-sonic had disbanded, maybe they get back together occasionally for performing. The MC is now in Public Domain.
Powerhouse events usually cater for the rave scene, who are into the hardcore and happy hardcore rather than hard trance. Hard trance will still get played, but I wouldn't say that the intended crowd is a hard trance crowd.
I'll probably go to Utopia again at the Superdome. The Superdome is a brilliant venue for a large scale dance music event. I think it's even bigger than the Vodafone arena in Melbourne, but close.
