Sydney rave scene, where'd it go?

House & Electro fans would say yes, Hardstyle fans would say no.

Softer trance definitely isn't imo, hard trance is but it's dying out amongst all the hardstyle.

I don't consider Above & Beyond to be rave but my mate who's a big electro nut considers them too 'hard' for him to dance to, or the beat's too fast or some shit like that.

I'm a massive minimal/prog/tech/breaks head and i would call them "raves". It's all in the eyes of the beholder as far as im concerned. As long as you're having a good time, who gives a fuck what its called.

A rave at the metro? Goddamnit, that's one of my favourite venues. Now it's going to be tainted. They'll never get dirty raver out of the carpet.

There were a few raves at the Metro about two years ago, and I think there were some before that as well.
 
i started raving this yr and have been to manic, utopia, magic city and q dance. i found all of them very enjoyable and there are a few big ones coming up to end the yr off so there are still big raves around its the underground raves that are dying.
 
I thought those rly underground warehouse parties were spread jst by word of mouth? ne1 goin to the channel one? From what ive heard its gonna be fckn massive. Im thinkin take out the number.

Flinch yeah they are but with the internet I guess word of mouth turns into text messaging and posts on screen with the widespread use of internets.

I'm definitely going to the Channel ? party. I am so amped for it. Haven't been to a channel party since the one in Alexandria in November last year that was on the eve of the election.
DJ Bailey (UK Drum and Bass DJ) is playing the same night @ the UTS Loft on broadway for $10 entry. Rumour has it he might be making a guest appearance at the warehouse party too :08o 8o

har har touché :)

However, the channel warehouse party does not actually claim to be a "rave". Different style, different genre, different crowd. Both events have value for different reasons. you choose.

Quote from DJ Aladdin: "Fantasia is hailed as Sydney's biggest underground dance party phenomenon, delivering nothing less than pure perfection. If you haven't witnessed a Fantasia event before, then you just haven't partied!"

The numbers in ticket sales has jumped up quite a bit in the last few days, so make sure you jump online to grab your ticket today to avoid disappointment and be a part of the FANTASIA experience.

less than 5 days to go till the big night! Who’s excited?
 
Yeah, the channel party is extremely different from a rave.

Also, why do they call raves such as Fantasia especially, and also ones like reactor, neverland etc "Underground"....

THEY SELL TICKETS AT SUPRE!!! Well, im not sure about fantasia, but i know neverland was. Explains the shitness of the crowds =\.
 
that free warehouse rave is tickling my fancy.

Has anbody seen the movie called 'groove'??
Really good B grade underground rave flick if anybody was interested.
 
^^ Ahhh so they DID shut it down. I was way too sick with the flu to go, but I suspected it might get shut down at some stage of the evening. :)
Good party though??

And it's not a "facebook party" haha stupid naïve media!
 
excellent party.

I left early to catch DJ bailey playing down the road at the loft, which was amazing in itself. We got a cab up parramatta road, joking to the cab driver, "haha the road might be blocked. There's a warehouse party that's getting shut down by the cops. After not moving in the cab for 10 minutes we got out and walked to witness the aftermath.
 
^^ Haha nice one!
I just saw some of my friend's photos of the carnage on Parramatta Road after the shutdown. Classic warehouse shenanigans =D
