Ok if you want numbers, I'm here
I think half of the Aussies here are producers, that must say something about the state of Dance music in Australia (House SUXS)
give Australia 5 years

Yeah well, the attitude even just a few years ago was that if you listened to electronic music you were either gay or a wog, so look at how far we've come in just these past couple of years: electronic music is trendy and clubbing is becoming embedded in the culture. I still say that Melbourne's the clubbing capital of the southern hemisphere (sorry Sydney ).
Anyway, get in contact with all the other Aussies on the forum if you can guys, I'm interested to know just how many of us there are in here.

So you have a problem with these racial stereotypes?
You have a lot of growing up to do, maybe Im a migrant but I figure Ive brought a lot of money with me into the country, always worked damn hard to make my way and lived here for the better part of 18 years.
Im not ashamed of my heritage either.

No, no, no. You misunderstand me.
It was just a perception that people had here, recently (or at least in my experience) such that if you listened to electronic music they would label you either "gay" or "a wog". I most certainly do not have a problem with anyone who has emmigrated to Australia (or homosexuals for that matter): my best friend was born in Hong Kong, and I have several other Chinese, "Honkee" (term of endearment ) and "wog" friends.
Please don't think I'm some racist twat, because nothing could be farther from the truth. I certainly didn't mean for my words to be interpreted as a slight on either migrants of homosexuals. Hope I haven't offended you?

No you havn't I understand where your comming from now. If its any consolation people in other countries look on electronic music and its fans the same way, the pervue of the fringe groups and weirdo's

Renegade...u shoulda posted a message in the chill room to come vote!!!
...only stumbled on this thread by accident!!!
anyway...obviously another vote from me
BJeT, ya i'd recommend optus cable if u can get it (tho not many places eh!)
anyway, it has a cap, but it's somewhere in the vincity of about 27g/month...far far better than crapstra's piss-weak 3g/month
i have it at home in sydney, but it's not available here in canberra *)(**(*^...so gotta settle for adsl, but with 3g cap
