Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 2:10pm**

MCs should be banned from all TECHNO SETS also!!!!! dvs vs jorge watts was totally ruined... anyways, MCs going on about drugs is just annoying n silly... wats their point??

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 5:41pm**

wow.

high contrast- how good was it when he dropped racing green!!!!!!!

simply amazing. shame about the stage crew bumping the decks a few times Confused you could see he was a bit pissed off. decent fro

speed- had some nutz tunes, real dance floor bizness!! ate some serious shit with some of his mixes though. maybe a little too early in the day for my liking.

nextmen- got me back into the groove. dynamite mc HAS to come back here with a headliner!!!!

shapeshifter- had some rough tunes at the end.

to live dnb.

crystal method- meh

kenny ken- i still have those wobbly basslines stuck in my head. danced my arse off. pure rave music. expected no less from him. always delivers

dj lee- was tight!!!! seamless mixing. again danced for the whole set. . id heard big things about him. impressive

today @ work- average. really average. nearly fell asleep. slashed my thumb with my knife, you beauty.

big ups enchanted crew, thought the venue was mad!

BRING ON THE EXECUTIONER!!!!!!!!

high contrast - wicked
speed - improved, still needs more work
nextmen - cool tunes, not suited for that stage
dynamite - awesome job, fukn pussy tho. wouldnt stay and do more coz there was no booze
shapeshifter - awesome
kenny ken - proper rave dnb
lee- fukn awesome, better set than matrix last year, proper fukn tuff beats, NO CHEESY SHIT.. loved it!

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 6:46pm**

high contrast - want his afro and his record box - wikked set

speed - some nice tunes, what i expected mixing wise - funny to see some rewinds without anyone calling for them

nextmen & dynamite - awesome, but only caught the last half - doh

shapeshifter - also awesome, suprised that the crowd didnt get into it more - finished off their set storming too

kenny ken - still the king of knowing what to play and when to play it - my housemate admitted to being one of those guys you look at and go "that dude is messed up" during his set

unfortunately missed steinski & signify earlier and lee at the end

after hearing it was at port gawler and initially upset, i was really impressed by the set-up

to dickheads that decided to engage the media

to the media - was it really worth the chopper for the story?

big ups to whoever thought to drive their red mitsubishi up on a hill in the carpark

oooh stumbled into the market tent for jah trinity, was very impressed. fat, chilled yet driving dubby basslines. i could feel my pulse slowing down. was great to have a break from the higher bpm's

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 6:56pm**

Well I think im close to providing a coherent summary of my night now

High Contrast was really good, but I would have loved to have seen the dancefloor as full for him as it was later in the night.....he deserved that support

Loved Stienski and Signify, great funky track selection but again not enough "quality music" lovers there at the time

Nextmen....well for me it was easily set of the night, classic tunes mixed in with their own stuff, with Dynamite working the crowd to perfection had an absolute ball

Kenny Ken well he did what he always does....rocked an amped up rave crowd.....he is never genre pushing or smooth mixing but who cares.....trainspotters stay away he is for the people who purely want to BROCK OUT

Lee was excellent again, pity my dancing legs werent up to the task for the whole set

Shapeshifter and Emdee were excellent additions and provided a unique experience for the night

All in all I enjoyed it immensely.....its still behind number 2 for me but thats cause im old and sentimental

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 10:26pm**

I enjoyed the night too...

Signify and Steinski were tops

They alone were worth the money.

Nextmen, Shapeshifter, and High Contrast were also wikked.

Kenny Ken was meh... I danced to it, mainly because there was nothing else to do...

Crystal Method just sucked. Two strikes you're out!

Missed DJ Lee, but Fiction was a surprise highlight... love the old sounds

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 10:48pm**

what ever happened to beaver airlines from 2002? that was the shit! with the pilot n all.

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 10:55pm**

loved high contrast and pendulum was dancing the whole time
also some of the breaks were good but wasnt a fan of crystal method bit of a let down

lee was good
and i think it was filter or some one in the chill out room was playing some good stuff

all in all was a good night

Posted: **6 Dec 2004, 11:35pm**

Ok here goes. Am coherent enough now.

High Contrasts' set was awesome. Would have loved for him to play to a crowd like Kenny Ken but at least you know all the true heads were there for him. Was fucked how the stage guys bumped the decks a few times but ya get that. Had a ball dancing round like a loon in the sun after having a few drinks on the way up. The fro only makes him that much cooler, he is the shiznit.

Caught the start of Speed, nice ravey tunes but not really my thing. His mix of vault will go down in history but if I had made it I wouldnt bother mixing it anyway " here you go cunts how good is my tune". The Big Dog arena was going bezerk by 5.30. An awesome sight.

Steinski and Signify were cool . Was great dancing to see old school beats

Nextmen were the highlight for me. Dynamite owned that whole crowd. Some absolute classic tracks- a thousand or peeps singing " Sounds of da Police" was sensational. Massive props to them for dropping The Hoods and Dynamite knowing they were from Adelaide ( well he said local flavour so I am assuming ). And Brown Paper Bag with a medley of Dynamite's lyrics.

Crystal Method were meh, but I wasnt ever interested in seeing them anyway.

Kenny Ken smashed it up true rave style

Lee was tight as. A few people have complained but his mixing and tunes were superb, very matrix ish. I love a rolling set with long flowing mixes, for me it gets no better than that.

Mark7 was on point as well.

Was looking forward to Patchy and MPK but got distracted while they were playing by some gold comedy.

Port Gawler is the best outdoor venue around IMO, i would be happy to see it made Enchanted's home. Close to the city, great views of the sunrise and good parking.

Fuckin wicked arvo/night/next day/eveing.

Big Ups to Enchanted crew. Delivered in the face of extreme pressure and scrutiny.

Posted: **7 Dec 2004, 2:10am**

Yay for High Contrast.....you made everything worth it

Boo to missing all the good sets that followed because of irritating paranoid wankas....

Yay to cool people that I saw having a great nite....you made me happy in the end anyways

welll...what a weekend!!
going down in my book as 1 of my fav parties eva!

i saw so much quality music and heard it through fukn quality speakers!
the venue has grown on me, liked the differant set up better than last time there.

probably most blown away by the mindbogglin' live Shapeshifter set, hadn't heard much before,but will definitly be watchin them harder now.('

')

Lee played a smashin dancefloor journey, agreed Patchy even better than Matrix last year.not a chance given to me to stop the boogie. loved it to the MAX('

')

High contrast was a near perfect experience. love the day vibe and the music was the perfect compliment to the sunshine and party atmosphere. the man has got some music , dat's 4 sure!!('

')('

')

Speeds gettin better everytime he plays over here, but just a bit to similar. normally love the sets but wasn't feelin this time as much, probably too early for headbangin'. but still good to see where there at with their tunes.

kenny played a better set than i expected, (especially the first half). had some chunky ass bass pumpin, (enuff to get me jumpin).wholelottafun!

Nextmen + dynamite were amazing, some of the freshest beats, tunes and mixin' i've heard and seen.dynamite was on point!! not one person that saw him could say they wernt feelin it. a true master of ceremony!! just cant wait to see him bounce on d&b a.s.a.p.
big fan of all the english hip hop and it's wild to see some finally comin our way.just gotta see phi-life cypher now!!

steinski + signify funkin shizz to the max, these guys are good, just wish more people knew that so there could've been a bigger crowd. love hearin some james brown, especially outside in the sun with staunch sound>nuff RESPECT.

these were just some of the stand outs, but all the local lads were easily up on par and playing above standard.definitely propa bizz!!

mammoth big ups to all the ppl who made my weekend so interestin' y'all know who you r. always a hooooooooooot!
cheers the whole Ench... crew for doing a great job with the venue and a better job with the line-up.
now just gotta work on harvesting the memories i'm sure r in my head somewhere.('

') and maybe gettin them braincells back.

I must say now ive recovered a bit that the stage setups and lighting rigs were sen-fucking-sational. Whoever set up the grounds needs a massive big up. Almost needed a bigger stage for shapeshifter. They had some energy brewing. Love to see them in between some heavyweights. Can they become Ef regulars? I was expecting a huge sound system like last yr and it fell a bit short of that. More bass is always the answer

But the way the venue was used was awesome. And those dirt mounds kept everything in check. I love the fact you could hear the dnb clear as a bell in the car park. Especially good when you get hopelessly lost trying to find the car on the way out. Then when you find the car you end up driving all the way around the track to meet a dead end.

Wiked night. Good seeing all the party ppl out. Boh n Shit.

Posted: **7 Dec 2004, 9:00pm**

best enchanted ive been to.

high contrast- fuken wiked, just sat on the wall with a huge grin on my face for ages couldn't get any better.

speed- alright. nice tracks..

kenny ken- i didn't realy feel for the dnb he was playing heard the first 20 min of it and went to the car for a while. i liked a couple of old skool rmxes in there. but dissapointing after last time he came.

dj lee- never heard of him before but when he came on i fuken loved his set. and walked back to the car cru aand got em of there arses. wiked.

and i can't remember where the hell i was for shapeshifter and nextmen

also this would be the first rave ive seen violence at ..what the fuck?

Posted: **7 Dec 2004, 10:09pm**

The fucked up dude in the red shirt was the highlight of my night. SOme people were concerned and put off by him - I was completely entertained.

The only way to describe him was think of the alien (bug) in MIB trying to walk around in the human skin. When it aint quite fitting and he's acting all minda like......

That dude will foerver be known as the minda juice tard from E7.

Posted: **7 Dec 2004, 11:02pm**

noddy - that bloke has kept carly sleepless the last few nights cos she freaked from seeing him..

we know him as the elephant man

Posted: **8 Dec 2004, 12:36am**

the amount of people that have mentioned that red shirted juice retard to me is ridiculous....i feel like i missed the main act or something

Posted: **8 Dec 2004, 1:17am**

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD

Had an awesome time. The setup was easily one of the best I've seen, altho I do have to admit to not visiting a couple of the stages. Naturally, I spent most of my time at the dnb stage and I was really suprised by the diversity of acts there.

Really enjoyed HC's selection, especially opening with Mr Majestik as well as dropping some fresh stuff like AI's Desperado and Cyantific's Cold Fresh Air remix.

The crowd at the dnb stage was pretty crazy considering how early it was and it continued to expand as Pendulum hit the stage. I didnt stay for all of it as I wanted to have a bit of a rest and check out some of the other areas but it was pretty obvious that the tunes move the crowd.

I hadn't really heard much about Steinski and Signify but was very impressed with what they did. Quality music, although as a lot of people have mentioned, it may have been a bit underappreciated or overlooked by a lot of those in attendance.

Em Dee was rather interesting. The drummer sounded awesome but personally I found the didge a bit hit and miss. Some of it sounded really cool but in a couple of places I thought it was a bit out there. Having said that, you cant fault the guy for being creative and maximum respect for having the lung power to do that for the course of a whole set, that isnt human!!

Once Em Dee left the stage I hung around to see what Blake was gonna drop. Hung around for the first couple of tunes but the change in tempo made me wander again. Don't take it personal Blake I just dont get into breaks

Returned a lil while later to see Nextmen on the stage... set of the night for me. Dynamite rocked it proper on the mic, even if he did allegedly pussy out and go home

The tunes were what did it for me tho... proper party hip hop with a wicked MC, topped off by some classic dnb at the end.

Shapeshifter were also awesome. I really enjoyed the laid back, more melodic bits over the harder stuff they played but they certainly rocked it and would love to see them again.

Ventured over to the market stall stage to catch a bit of Jah Trinity. The dub and reggae slowed my heartbeat dramatically and I found that I had to get moving before it stopped completely

Came back soon after to listen to Mystique. Rolled it out quite nicely I thought... really enjoyed what I heard from her

Almost one oclock so off to the dnb stage I went to find Crystal Method playing some very uninspiring music and later dealing with some sound issues. Not too sure why they were still on but obviously the times can get pushed back a bit so I didnt mind waiting for the Kenny Ken. Obviously the sound issues arent their fault but I expected a bit more from someone with such a massive rep as Crystal Method.

Kenny Ken finally made it up around 130ish and even though musically it didnt really push any boundaries, it sure got the people moving. Kenny has been playing the big raves for years so I expected no less and spent the whole set up front. Had heaps of fun dancing to his set so once he finished it was time for a rest. Regret this decision as I missed out on a lil bootleg ting that Mark 7 and E Theory have been working on, but hopefully should hear that tasty treat soon...

Came back in time to see Shock One finish off. Didnt catch a lot of it but the words pendulum and dancefloor immediately sprang to mind.

Lee was pretty good, but at the same time a bit of a dissapointment for me. His selection was nice and I enjoyed what I heard but for me it wasnt a 4am rave set and was hoping he would wipe the floor with the place, but it wasnt to be. Still liked what I heard but it wasnt enough to keep me there. It had been a pretty long day so I ended up leaving about 3/4s of the way thru Lee's set.

Overall I had a really awesome day and had a lot of fun. I found it really hard to fault too much. Would have been nice to have an alternative to Yiros but that would be my only real complaint so that aint too bad

Ooh and more seats. If an event goes for 18 hours you know people are gonna wanna be sitting!

Well done to everyone involved. Looking forward to the new format!!

was freaky as not good to see slightly amusing but not cool

Posted: **9 Dec 2004, 4:00am**

After speaking to a few people it seems he is a regular around town and is in the same state at most places.

I spoke to someone today and their crew know him as 'Eggplant' due to the shape of his body.

Fucking loser!!!!
