[ToM-OoO]

and sorry to hear that Daimo, that shit is fucked up!!!

^^ we might be talking about the same person. I don't want to start a big rant about this either, I said what I wanted to say, and i'll leave it at that, as I know lots of the people involved, and I know they all worked very hard and gave up a lot of time to put the party on.

on a positive, I was glad to see St. Johns there last night helping out, big props for having them there, and for giving up their time as well!

 

[faerie]

it was groovy meeting some people (even though I can't remember who I met) but if you met me my msn is [email protected] so add me

Sorry I didn't end up making it to the actual meetup at 3, I can't be bothered explaining why I didn't show up, it was just wierd.

Anyway it was funky but freezing..I definately will rug up more next time.

Before I say anything else, I must congratulate everyone involved on an extremely well-organised, well-executed warehouse party. I've never been to an Electric Bliss event before, but as soon as I walked in I just though, "10 points for production". Really good work, team.

Warehouses run in the dead of winter often don't do very well (that's bitter experience talking here), but personally I really dig the freezing weather. So I walked in rugged up in six layers, ski jacket, gloves, beanie over my hat and ten-foot (no, really!) wooly scarf, mostly to amuse my friends (it worked).

I was soon stripping those layers off one by one though, because I wanted to *dance*. Reading the electricbliss website suggested that the music wasn't going to be my cup of tea - prog, breaks, house... whatever. Fortunately for me, the website was a total lie The DJs were a pretty eclectic lot, but what I heard was a well-danceable range of power trance, harder stuff, and at the end, brilliant dark dirty psy (whoever that last DJ was, I take my hat off to him and his haircut too - that was a really different, fun closing set). It's been a while since I was at a party with music I've liked from end to end. That's probably more to do with my musical taste than a problem with parties nowadays, but it was pretty fucking cool to go and be so well catered for for once!

(Just on the psy tip for a sec - most psy people don't shuffle. But there are a subset of shufflers who like psy, and I reckon we were *all* there on Saturday night... was a grand sight at about 6am to see everyone going berserk to Deeply Disturbed %))

[edit:

i imagine the place absolutely rocked later in the morning

Yes. Yes, it did.]

The crowd was a really pleasant mix of the hardcore warehouse junkies (many of whom I hadn't seen since the last Hyperactive), fresh young faces, and the uplifting-trance set (I think Bassic was pretty heavily promoted at 5am, which explains a lot). I didn't see too many of those tiresome Serious Ravers, just a lot of people running around having a good time (and trying to keep warm!). Crowd wasn't massive, but I think anyone who braved the sleet and rain to be there was going to be motivated to party - those who did make it were thus the distilled essence of party animal, and it was GOOD.

Regarding that bluelight meetup, I did look for you at 3am, but the only ones I recognise are MoeBro and ButrosButroGrantos. FWIW, I was that guy about six foot six (that's Very Tall, OK?) in the ridiculous scarf, glasses, beanie and white sparkly goves. I couldn't find Moe in the dark, and Grant was apparently off on a mission somewhere at that point (I did catch up with him later) so I just wandered aimlessly for a while then gave up. Some other time, I guess.

Awesome night. Thanks again... this is probably my last party in Melbourne for a couple of years, so it was nice to go out on a high note.

Heh I was with Daimo when that happened and well it was scary to say the least, although I guess I was lucky I wasn't on my own at the time. I'm sure things would have turned out much worse, anyway enough of that.

The orgainisers did a really nice job on putting it on, I was quite impressed with how the warehouse looked, the decor was pretty nice, and well the Atari was ok, but sometimes it wouldn't work properly. It seems that a lot of people went to the effort of making this a good party, and they did a really good job IMO.

Guys - - - I am so sorry, beyond belief, about what happenned.
When I was told, I moved as quickly as humanly possible to handle the situation, and have the freaks who did this dealt with.

It could have been a lot worse - - I'm sure you all appreciate this.
I'm not saying it was acceptable in any way, shape or form.
It was scary - and it was wrong - and I wish it hadn't happenned at all, let alone at a party I helped to create.

Besides this one dampner on the night, I had a great time.
My smiles were met with grins, and the general vibe was amazing.

The outfits were so ecclectic; I'm glad so many people rugged up - it was a freeeezing night.

* * *​

My highlight of the night, was TheSource's set - - - it was just amazing, and boosted my permenant grin by 100% when I heard it [despite being firmly planted on the door the whole time].

Well done to everyone - - - crew, promoters and party people alike.
You all helped to make this a party to remember, with lots of memories.



Thank-you all for showing that old skool' spirit, and making it to BASSIC to rock out, even on such a bone chilling day of hail, sleet and biting winds.

Had an awesome night.. remember lots of faces and the music was great.. although the number of people standing rather than dancing surprised me!
I was super impressed.. my first Australian warehouse event and I was completely astonished by the quality.. couches, lasers, projection screens, food van.. and parking undercover ffs!

For the next Bluelight meet up I'm bringing my BL banner.. as soon as I got there and wandered into the darkness of the chill out I started kicking myself. Was astounded at being recognised by Moebro.. and embarrassed that I hadn't recognised Doon.. sorry!
Anyone else get their pics taken by ITM people? How long do you have to wait to find out if they're using them?


Hope you all recovered well *hugs*

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

Hehe, go glad you had a great timeHijinkx - - - I'm pretty sure your lovely face graces itm atm.

^Correct me if I'm wrong. ​

 

[MoeBro]

Shit Joel.
I completely forgot you were there.
forgot to see you/catch up with you =\

To the bastards that stole my mushrooms, you will pay!

edit:

I have the good fortune of having an amazing memory for faces hijinx

Nice dreamy look on that photo

- moe

Hey, just thought i'd say it was an awesome party with a great atmosphere. I had a great time even though i didn't dance much at all. It seemed to me that there was this really cool laid back and socialise feel to the party. I didn't make it to the meetup because well to be honest i totally forgot as i got caught up talking to some friends i hadn't seen in a while.
Sorry to hear about the dodgy shit that happened on the night.
I heard about it on the night as i think most did and got warned not to enture outside on my own. Hopefully these deadshits get dealt with appropriately.
I got my photo taken with couple friends by some older dude in black beanie i think. Was this just a random dude running round getting happy snaps of people or was he part of the Bassic Crew or an ITM dude. Where ever he is from does anyone know where the photos can be tracked down? I wouldn't mind having a look at em.
Oh yeah and also i thought the party was really well set out and the decor rocked. Often in the past warehouse parties can be pretty poorly organised with just a dull boring warehouse with little atmosphere. Good work peeps.


Beech out

The pics can be found here and here - - - Ellway, from itm was taking the photos.
And omg, they're maaaaaaaad.

 

[BloSs0m]

it was an awesome awesome night. truly spectatular. You kids all did a killer job. Shame the weather was so dismal. AND FUCKING FREEZING!!! but it was all ok, and didnt that gas heater, the big blowy one do the trick.

but a very very good night, the music was awesome too! props to everyone, thanks for tops night.

i made a brief appearance at the meetup, but ran away shortly after to get back to my boy.

daimo, all my love to you, cannot beleive that happnned, when u told me i was shocked.

COTB, Dandy, moebro, eze and all u people who worked so hard to get the place looking amazing, directing traffic in that awfl weather, and basically bringing the whole thing together, u did a magnificent job~

 

[`eternity-dre]

i also had a mate rolled for all his money and gear, apperently it was some one who was working there...

just to clear that up, one of the sons of the guy that owns the warehouse decided to be a big hardcunt wog and roll people for pills.. he rolled a friend of mine and then threatened me.. blah blah blah, it got sorted but i just wanted to say thanks to duncun, heath, caroline and the others that sorted it out with me incase they read this =)

yeah apart from that 'incident' which really, really pissed me off.. i have to agree with all the above sentiments.. music was good (loved the psy set at the end, i had a wicked dance up the front with a bunch of other long haired guys to deeply disturbed *moans*).. decor was mad and most importantly the chill out area was awesome! those couches were ideal for cuddles =) the vibe was really chilled too, especially towards the end..

top party, huge improvment on the last one

 

[Joellercoaster]

Hey, Apparently I turned up on ITM too. Pity about the photo
