This huge New year's Day event was presented by Delirium, providing many with a quiet NYE in + partying hard the next day - a different idea. This huge event was certainly a popular destination for many, but as we had the radio that night I just wanted to take it easy myself...also the heat + being outdoor didn't do it for me. Loads of mates I spoke to said Shimon in particular ripped it up bigstyle, CJ Bolland going off as well. Another common comment was a dissapointment in Tiesto's set...shame I really wanted to see him...maybe next time he'll prove why he's voted No.1 in the world.

A well cool night - Capt.Tinrib playing a wicked live PA set...Shimon I think was not at his best...maybe just enjoying his holiday here a bit too much - couple of people (who'd seen him play elsewhere this tour) said it was the flattest he'd played. Still nice'n'solid though must be said. Bit of trouble during Rousa + Dair's set about 5am - the generator stuffing up + all power going out for about 20mins until the sound lads (nice one Mark) performed some minor divine miracle to get it going again. We were upstairs in the ViP room + must say was hell dark up there! Was nice of Rousa + Dair to come back in to play out the last section of the night for the morning crew after they'd packed up thinking all was over.

Over the last 7years he has ripped it lyrically, to all styles of dance music, hyping crowds into a frenzy at all of Perth's premier events, including the legendary Gravity, Loaded Dice, Drum Club + XS camps and even overseas in Hong Kong! His style is undeniably unique, when you hear him on the mic, his voice pushes and lifts you just that little bit more!

He would like to thank all those who have supported him in the All-age scene and hopefully will continue to do so in his future exploits.

MC's :- Kev, Hutcho, Max Landy.
DJ Factory, CyberGroove Entertainment + InTheMix.com.au presents this special MOS Australian Club Tour. Ralph Sanders (aKa Klasic And Sanders/Débauched/Ad Nauseam/Devils Ear/Sanders). He has residencies at 'Pharmacy' + 'The Factory'. He has supported the likes of: Chris Liberator, SHOKK, Futlicht, Sakin, Scot Project, Dumonde, A.S.Y.S, Kai Tracid, RussenMaffia, Trance Generators, Radium, Ben Dj, Thomas Trouble, Luna, Oliver Klitzing, Dave the Drummer.
DJ Hellraiser (aka Ad Nauseam). He also has residencies at 'Pharmacy' + 'The Factory'. Dorned in his priest-like suit with German military jacket, gothic make up and white contact lense this ‘Pretty Hate Machine’ has secured a very special place with the Pharmacy crew and has in turn supported hard trance legends such as Kai Tracid (playing a back to back set), Dj Scot Project, Hennes & Cold and A*S*Y*S* to name but an elite few.
Xtra Attractions - This venue has two recently-renovated arena's featuring Big Sound, Awesome new intelligent lighting & especially for this event only...two mindblowing Lasers. Some technical issues with Greg's + Xcess' set especially with jumping needles + monitors cutting out etc...but WICKED atmosphere + very responsive crowd going off all night to the old School sounds + vibe. Probably fair to say Menis + Dair didn't get the best time of the night, the crowd was a little tired by the time they went on and the faster, more upfront HaRdCoRe tended to empty the room a lot (nothing against their sets
which were nice + bangin - those that stayed on were havin' it as well). Leroy + I went for a harder-style set as Hellraiser before us had been bangin out some real meaty Hardstyle + Gabba to get the crowd really revved up. Greg Packer ('91-'93) - More club + rave classics type set, going a little harder at the end into more bangin '93 style techno. Xcess ('91-'93) tended to repeat a few of Greg's trax but the crowd didn't seem to mind. What a mad night this one...can't believe I spent so much time on the mic this weekend...this night I was on stage from 12:30am-4am until I finally took a break...phew!

Loaded Dice in conjunction with Delirium present this big event - returning after an extended absence with a stellar line-up of broken beats. "DJ Marky - Hard work ... superb skills ... and a unique sound ... are the hallmarks of why DJ Marky is one of dnb's shining lights. Based in Sao Paulo, the clubbing and dance music capital of Brasil, Marky is well established as one of Brazil's biggest DJs and producer talents. Marky sets himself apart with his phenomenal technical skills and Brazilian flair, his enthusiasm and dedication and the effort he puts into his sets he has impressed clubbers and music industry alike. The last few years have also seen him make a concerted move into production, both by himself and with long-term collaborator, XRS. In fact, it was their UK Top 20 single LK (produced alongside Stamina MC) which really propelled DJ Marky into the bright lights. With remixes of US3, Bebel Gilberto and Everything But The Girl and a collaboration with Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil already under his belt ... the future is looking very bright indeed. If you missed his last appearance in Perth, then don't make the same mistake again. Stamina MC - You could say that Stamina MC started out on his music career in 1994. Although he didn't realise it then his love of early jungle would eventually lead him to his enviable position today, where he is cited as one of the hottest young talents in the Drum & Bass/Jungle scene. He started appearing regularly at the legendary Movement events in the UK and during this time became friends with the up-and-coming Brazilian DJs DJ Marky and DJ Patife. Events like Homelands, Ministry of Sound @ Knebworth and Planet V followed, with Stamina's trademark vocal expressions becoming one of the main ingredients of movement. In his own words Stamina MC is, a DJs MC - no shouting, but an ability to compliment any tune in any way - rapping ragga lyrics, rhyming and singing, even talking to the crowd - Stamina is a natural at building a rapport with an audience as well as concentrating on what he is saying and how the crowd is reacting. DJ Hyper - Twenty-nine year old Guy Hatfield is a man with a mission. Heralded as the new Breakbeat leader of the pack and the hardest workingman in the UK dance scene, he continues to turn heads and push boundaries to great acclaim. Hyper's pioneering Y3K compilation albums secured his name in the dance scene as one to watch and spawned many copycat Breakbeat albums. Guy went on to surpass expectations with his world-renowned Bedrock Breaks CD's and can lay claim to the biggest selling full price Breakbeat comps to date. He now releases his critically acclaimed 'Wired' mix album. He is one of THE best technical DJ's in Breakbeat, expect much more from him and expect your expectations to be surpassed".

Vance Musgrove (Canberra) - started DJing in 1997, initially delving into drum & bass but quickly becoming a fan of the progressive sound through the early mix CDs of Sasha & Digweed. Graduating from the bedroom in 1999, Vance first found a home at Positive, Canberra's legendary progressive house night along side Canberra export Jono Fernandez. Since then he has supported the likes of Sasha, Steve Lawler, Adam Freeland, Anthony Pappa, Phil K, Luke Chable, Ivan Gough, Dave Seaman and Infusion. He also started dabbling in production in 1999. His first release, 'Squelch', found a home on Kasey Taylor's Vapour Recordings imprint, also being licensed to Kasey Taylor's 'Balance 002' compilation, and Parks & Wilson's 'Painting on Silence" album. Vance's subsequent releases, 'Elemental' b/w 'Lids Off', and his remix of the seminal progressive anthem 'Raincry' by God Within, have found their way into the crates and sets of some of the world's top artists". Nice to see this crew back in action again.

"The Resonance The new soulful 'drum & bass' collective produced by Trilby Temperley (Audio Response Group). Brilliant vocalists Rebecca Brennan and Leanne Cole create uplifting modern anthems over a rich landscape of warm bass, crunchy percussion, solid breaks and serious basslines. Ele-Mental (Brendan Slaven) was a founding member of early techno trio Sensory Overload (1993-1998) alongside Jason Hearn (Jase From Outta Space) and Jamie Side. Since leaving Sensory Overload, Slaven has concentrated on a more downbeat, melodic style of music. He is one of the few electronic acts to incorporate a guitar synthesizer in live performances and in the studio. Rawbone began as a solo audiovisual project produced and performed by Perth musician/video artist, Roly Skender in 2001. In 2003 he began working with eclectic Perth DJ Jo19 and In 2004 Rawbone has evolved into an audiovisual duo playing beats, bleeps and audiovisual samples with synchronised video projections. Ether are electronic producer Jonathan Craig (8 Ball) and cellist Melanie Robinson (soloist, member of SQUINT, WOOD, Myrtle, twice Best Female Instrumentalist in the WAMIs, recipient of the 2003 ArtsWA Young Artist’s Fellowship). Dave Miller has been an active and successful part of the Perth electronic music scene for some time and is also signed on the Background Records. Incorporating elements of his early influences - the warmth and funk of Detroit house combined with the innovation and experimentation of electronica, his releases on the Background Records label have been deep, emotive and personal, aiming to move the mind, body and heart at once. Car Krash are that hot. A three piece trip/hip hop ensemble featuring Optamus from Downsyde, Brettski from Funkola and Jake on bass. bringing beats without MCs on bass, sampler, effects and drums they are perhaps similar in mood to some of dj shadows funkier stuff.

Trafik, Rufkut Productions, ATM & DJ Factory presents this special send-off for crew stalwart MC/DJ Rufkut. "Trafik's original gunslingin' Bandito is responsible, in part, for the explosion of Perth DNB, having played for all major promotors and at all reputable parties since '98. Getting a start at Scallywags in Joondalup for the notorious Resin Sunday session, Rufkut quickly made his mark on the local dance scene, noticed for his heavy party sets and Ragga jungle laced mash ups. Thru the dry times and the heavy rain of politics in this often cut-throat industy, Rufkut remained true to his philosophy to answer the call of the dance floor and not to bend under pressure to conform to the standard. 'Drum & Bass is all about the party and having a good time! If the people in the club aren't dancing & if they don't leave smiling then the DJs not trying hard enough!'. Rufkut now resides @ Perth's and arguably Australia's best Drum and Bass club night, 'Trafik' and is into his second year as co-promotor and events coordinator there. After 6 years of rotation on the scene the big man has decided to take a well earned holiday to travel and to tour the east coast for 5 months".

Mash-Up Room (Amplifier and Courtyard) DJ's :- 2 Many DJ's, Dave Jackson, Mallinder, Lee Wilson, Declan.
Delirium, Loaded Dice, inthemix and Bazook present this huge three-arena event..featuring :- "DJ Hype's career began in 1983 when the Heatwave sound-system began to hit the Hackney reggae scene. Experimenting not only with that sound, but also hip hop, rare-groove and early house, Hype's first studio session was with other members of his sound-system who messed with rap under the name Private Party, though no releases were ever made by this outfit. Hype's radio debut came in 1989 when he was offered a slot on Fantasy FM after winning the DMC Mixing Championships. Taking up the post of A&R man at Kickin' Records in 1990, Hype co-produced the groundbreaking 'The Exorcist' and 'The Bee' as The cientist. He set up the Ganja label in 1994 before moving onto Kiss 100FM. Since then Hype has become one of the biggest jungle DJs in the scene, regularly topping fans' polls. In 2002 he's already mixed four compilations with 'Jungle Massive Vols 1&2' showcasing old school classics, 'Old School In The Mix' scratching through the Ganja/True Playaz back catalogue and 'Fabric Live' representing a Hype's set in 2002. He also makes slower breakbeat like the massive 'Pussy Remix'. Look out for full Ganja Crew album this year. Infusion (Live) :- Without a moment's rest, the lads have been in the studio producing stunning original works and remixes. They were handpicked by renowned producer Junkie XL for collaboration on two tracks for his Radio JXL album, Nightmares and 'Aquaman' featuring Infusion. The 'Nightmares' track was also featured in the club scene in the horror film Freddy vs. Jason. Meanwhile, the legacy of their hit single 'Legacy' (Best Single - Dance Music Awards 2002) continues with inclusion on a number of compilations worldwide including the Perfecto Presents: Paul Oakenfold - Great Wall. There are few electronic acts that deliver on the same level as a rock band with spontaneity, enthusiasm and a 100% live performance like Infusion. As front man Jaime Stevens says, 'When we play live, it's about the energy.' With a mixture of breakbeats, synths, vocals, basslines, house and big beats, their live music defies conventional genres but can be classified as energetic, electronic dance music. Their live act is not to be missed! Infusion are Jamie Stevens, Manuel Sharrad and Frank Xavier and have been featured on labels such as: AudioTherapy, Marine Parade, Positiva, SAW.Recordings, Kilowatt, Simple Records and Thunk Recordings. Chris Fortier :- Steeped in a background of learning his craft through long sets at his various residencies during his days in Central Florida and later at Twilo in New York , Chris is an old school dj in the truest sense of the word. He has learnt his craft in a way that few DJs can boast. Very few of today's headline DJ's can say they know how to build a night from nothing and create an atmosphere at any point in the nights festivities. However, Chris Fortier is one of the few that can. With the seemingly never-ending world tour still in effect from last year's release of the critically acclaimed 'Bedrock: Compiled and Mixed' compilation, Chris is a headline act in his own right, he continues to travel to every corner of the globe in the last 12 months including residencies at The Cross in London and Plexi in New York. Chris is no longer a name just on the U.S. stage, but on the world stage. Even with being constantly on tour, Chris production career has never been healthier as he embarks on a solo career alongside his continuing work as Fade".

Frantik - For a long time Frantik has been one of Perth's best all-ages deejays.

DJ's :- Skynet (UK), Uisce, AJM, Mystique, Mastermynd, Static & Rregula, Weez vs Insurgent.
Kinematic presents this Drum'n'Bass event, featuring Skynet of Underfire, Skynet, Nvision, Audio Blueprint, Discrete Records fame. "When formidable production duo Stakka & Skynet split suddenly, more tears were shed than the day Savage Garden broke up, and there's a whole lotta teenage girls out there. Many people, perhaps understandably suffering from shock, were quick to proclaim that things would never be the same again, and they were right...It has to end to begin. Since then, Skynet seems to have thrown himself into his work, and the results have managed to silence even some hardcore 'net-hat0rs. Writing enough quality music to require not one, but two labels [skynet and discrete] to keep up with his output, Skynet ain't just looking out for number one. He has also started a third label called nvision, which is set to unleash some seriously hefty tuneage in the near future - mostly from the kind of new talent redefining the boundaries of drum & bass as we know it. Being one of a select few UK producers to offer an alternative to the majority of his peers - makes Skynet a rare breed indeed. On his third visit to Perth, Skynet is sure to fire some of the freshest flavours in your ear so far this year, so don't miss this oppurtunity to dine on a feast of fine beats unavailable on most menus!"

DJ's :- TeeBee (Norway), Skoa, MK1, Frantik, Static, Rregular, AJM & Uisce.
MC's :- J-Rippa, Assassin & X-sessiv.
Trafik Entertainment & Base 101 join forces once again, this time bringing you the finest in export-quality Norweigan Drum & Bass via the world renowned DJ TEEBEE. After his highly successful visit to Oz last year, where he performed alongside DJ Craze, TEEBEE is hyped to be coming back down under to perform the nation-over in 2004 … and perform he will. quot;DJ/producer Teebee spent ten years making his mark on the Norwegian drum'n'bass scene, but it only took one album and a handful of singles (on labels like Rugged Vinyl and Moving Shadow) to establish him as a major player in the elitist UK drum 'n' bass scene. The 2000 release of his debut album, Black Science Labs, showed the world that Teebee could both play by jungle's rules and manipulate the sound. The record was an unpredictable mix of sounds that twisted traditional drum'n'bass formulas but retained a sleek, nourish sound. It was a departure from the UK's traditional pantheon of hip-hop and reggae influence, and it took a lot of the scene by surprise. Fast forward to the present, and Teebee now needs no introduction. He's become one of the major successes of the UK's forward-thinking Certificate 18 label, as well as winning the 'Best International Producer' award from Knowledge Magazine. He's gotten rave reviews from all the major players in D&B, including Grooverider and Fabio, Andy C, Ed Rush & Optical and Bad Company. He's had releases on numerous labels, including Prototype, Juice, Creative Source, Moving Shadow, and many more, as well as releasing several mysteriously haunting R&B-flavored drum'n'bass bootlegs". One not to have missed methinks...unfortunately I was playin elsewhere...this night got a good review from mates who were there (as expected).

Since then the tracks have been coming thick and fast with each one receiving more support and sales than the last. The Cause 4 Concern style met with such favourable response that before long, the boys had DJ Lee from Timeless and Renegade Hardware's Clayton at their door asking for tracks and calls from Suburban Base requesting that they send the Phuture Assassins' seminal 'Phuture Sound' through the C4C mixing desk. With tracks like 'Peep Show', 'Soul' and 'Bedhead' seminally infused into our minds forever, Cause 4 Concern shall never be forgotten. DJ Optiv will be representing the group on this 2004 Australian tour. Recently Optiv has been embarking on solo projects as well as his commitments to C4C. His impact has been felt across the Drum'n'Bass scene already with solid releases on Blindside, Red Light, 1210 and more".

With a career spanning nearly twenty years and aworld ranking at No 27 his unique character and impeccable talent have seen Fleming become the face of his genre, producing numerous mix albums, artist singles, remix projects and heading his own underground label, Joof Recordings. John is without a doubt one of Australia's most popular international Dj's and always delivers 100%
Eddie Halliwell (UK) - Now ranked no 20 DJ in the world bought his first set of decks at the tender age of 15. His realisation that he was too young to play in clubs led him to a 3 year Music Technology course, where he picked up some of his creative talents such as his now famous, hip-hop style scratching. This ability to scratch over different genres of music has earned him not only respect from fellow DJ's, but also much admiration from stunned crowds. Add this to the fact that he's a born showman (his interaction with the crowd has got to be seen to be believed!) and you have a party full of very happy people! Eddie performs guest upfront trance mixes on Judge Jules & Pete Tong's regular Weekend shows on the BBC Radio 1 and plays at ever major club and festival in Europe.
BK (UK) - aka Ben Keen, is recognized the world over as the most successful and prolific hard dance producer of all time. With worldwide dance chart hits like 'Music Is Moving' and 'Revolution', BK has reinvented the genre of hard house and breathed new life into the style. With various production guises including Cortina, Astra and Razorbabes to name but a few he really is an accomplished and hugely respected talent. He calls his sound 'ever-changing and full of energy' with innovative infusions of trance and techno that redefine the hard house style'. He believes that 'the sound of hard house has definitely changed - it's got to' and whether producing or playing, the sounds that BK creates represents the future of the genre.
Anne Savage Tidy Trax (UK) - Anne has been around since bosh was just an embryo.With her vivacious personality, her dedication to her fan base and her ability to get a full capacity crowd going nuts to her pumping sets, Anne is an inspiration to many DJs both male and female.Her sound is driving and her technical ability is flawless, Anne is one DJ who knows what clubbers want and delivers it with style and panache. Although Anne is predominantly known for her harder edge diversity on the turntables including techno and hard trance Anne also has a real passion for a bit of breakbeat and she's certainly making a mark on that scene, with Rennie Pilgrim and The Freestylers already taking interest. Voted as one ot world's top female DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 'World's Top 100 DJs' and featured as the only female in the 'Top 10 Club DJs in Britain' by the 'Independent on Sunday', Anne is a DJ and producer respected internationally, playing in almost every corner of the globe with her usual four to five gig weekends.

TeKnoLoGy CoRpS, FoRcE ReCoRdS cReW & The Hyde Park unite once more to present a special one-off night in the style of the old 'R.O.A.R' Tuesdays that finished earlier this year...expect an awesome festive atmosphere (aka Drunken Master stylee) and hopefully even a fleeting visit by a strung-out & rather seedy homeward-bound Santa dodging the booze buses all the way home...!! So in complete ignorance (or perhaps tribute?) to this fact and to work off those accumulated Xmas dinner pounds (or dollars) over the bar, on the dancefloor or hey … flat out on the floor!
If you've been to any of the “Stingin’ The TaiL” or “HaRd BoiLeD” events in the past, you'll know exactly the sort of nutty buzz to expect ... so book the following day off work, or at least get ready to join the New Year's CentreLink queue - in case you've lost your job largin' it too much with the new secretary at the office holiday party, or spend all the next day cuddling the porcelain bus.
So order in the Berocca, loads of black coffee, leave some cold pizza in the fridge & make sure you're there early to take full advantage of the legendary bedlam & chaos, to ensure you don't miss out on any of the (dis)organised mayhem!!! We will also be showcasing a selection of the usual blackmail-worthy event videos on the big screen of classic & memorable parties from the archives & of course the free pool and lotsa special prize draws on offer as always!". See you there!!
Venue : Hyde Park Hotel (Front bar), Cnr Bulwer St/Fitzgerald St, N.Perth 8pm-12am. An 18+ event.
Tickets : Gold coin donation on the door - includes a free raffle ticket for main 11pm draw.

XS Productions, Dan Lucas & Ruffknite Crews reunite for this, the fifth instalment of this now legendary New Years party. After two years off from the scene Dan Lucas (old MFI) the man behind some of Perth’s best events, joins forces with XS Productions the current force behind the All Age scene. This original combination is responsible for shaping the legend that is to make things even bigger they're assisted by Ruffknite’s fast rising star of promotion, to form a tantalizing combination of production might! "The scene has been set yet again to take you into a new year in the best possible way. It is a night where all differences are put aside and we all get together to celebrate yet another year. Who can forget the amazing countdowns to midnight, totally taking the roof off! Whatever your musical taste we have something for you, so come and join us for yet another trip to Intensity". Banga Matt’s (aka Matt Thomas) - DJing career kicked of in 1994 in Corsica, where he initially played Tribal House and Techno, his style in music continued to change and mature, moving more + more towards to his own individual, hard dark, techy style, which he is now well respected for. As his reputation spread he was booked for various raves in the South of France. At this point he decided a new challenge was in order and moved to London, from here he got into production, making tracks on 'Do Not Bend', 'DP Recordings', 'Aztec', 'Project Five', 'Rehab Audio', 'F-Sonic', 'No Entry', 'Wasa B (Canada)', 'ECN recordings' (USA) & his own labels 'Arktik Records' & 'Sketcha Trax'. Through these tunes his reputation has grown even more allowing him to play clubs throughout the UK and the world. Now it is Australia’s turn! Let your mind go and your body will follow! DJ ANX (Canada) - Hailing from Calgary, in Canada, ANX has been playing Techno for around 5yrs. In his words ‘I love Techno’. He covers all forms of Techno from his favoured hard techno, but mixed up with other various styles of techno such as Tribal, Funky, Acid, German, London, Weird wonky stuff and the list goes on. Influenced by DJ’s & producers like Dave the Drummer, Chris Liberator, Cristian Varela, Speedy J, Patrick Skoog, Patrick DSP, Chris Leibing, Mark EG, Ant, Pounding Grooves, Marco Bailey, Rob Tryptomene. His sound is most definitely raw. He is a pure turntable wizard, able to mix up on 3 decks, he loves to throw in tricks such as beat juggling, fader cuts and many other surprises. Combine all that with a lot of yelling, screaming, jumping around and acting like a damn fool! You get the idea of what to expect! Pure unadulterated mayhem! Massive line-up of local & International DJ’s & MC’s, Ballistic warhead sound & lights from Lux Entertainment Technology, Heaps of Golden Scans, Lasers, Effects, UV Cannons, strobes across the venue, Bouncy Castle & Free arcade games, Refreshment & Merchandise stand, Free CD’s of Rousa & Kev given away on the night - Alcohol & drug free event, licensed security & first aid.
