Nice one!! Good to see the return of Mr Perez

Cant wait!

Great to see Mr Perez back and Lynx is a badman but they will play pretty much the same tunes imo.

dont mean to be negative

Sick missed perez last time

oh might be a big weekend for sure hopefully the act we might be gettin doesnt pull out *crosses fingers*

heavyweight!

spewin, this would have been my birthday celebrations if i was in town...



wanna fly me back dale?

how can you say that after all the discussion on double booking weekends?

shit i forgot

I have a rather large smile right now that I can't see disappearing anytime soon thanks to this news.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loved Perez's set last time & Lynx is so hot right now 

That'll never stop unfortunately. We're being really selective with our DnB dates but Summer Break, The Bird, Nu:Tone+Cyantific all wound up with competing gigs right on top of them.

I must say I'm fucking stoked about this, I've been loving Alix Perez and Lynx's tunes of late, they've both been releasing some really blissed out rollers...and on top of all that, I'll finally be 18 by then...

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa!

I concur!

nice one dale

Sweet... 


*Edit* - Please, Please be in a Venue that doesn't Suck Balls..

dear lord!

I think when you see the plans for the whole event, you may not be so worried about the lack of music variety.

awww yeaaah! seriously can't wait for this, Giddyup july

once again Dale.... hat-off

Right on the weekend of my birthday BOH!!!

Shit, you may actually see me at a dnb only event for this one 

I can see this being a big night

 

i can see it being a big day & night. pity i won't be here!

This won't be a DnB only event by a long shot. If the names I've heard are appearing then this will be so much more.

hot hot hot hot ohhhhhhh hot hot hot hot hot.........




maka surely your creaming yourself!!!

indeeed mate. both on top of their game atm.

Not bad.

Wish I could say the same about the Power!

Here here.

All the more reason to look forward to this!

does lynx wear lynx?
is there a new disco dodo scent coming out?
will it smell like a sweaty raving bird?

Some more artist announcements...

Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys)
A-Skillz (USA)

MM Mike is dope. Love his work!

Man dubfire has to be one of the best dj's i have ever seen play. I went to the the launch of the technics cd deck in london and saw him and sharam rinse it for six hours back to back. I hardly left the floor. True DJ that will take you on a journey.

nice to know, they are both playing @ exit this year...

Yeah, rad!!! This is gonna be freakin' awesome!! 

[video: www.youtube.com]

Fucking awesome line-up building up for this.

Two decent festivals in the near future. Can't complain about that.

this looks good.

Jeebus this sounds scary, I thought that Summer Break lineup was big...enjoy yourselves!

I was in the States when Perez played the Sceptre and Lynx has been up around the top of my list for some time.. doesn't this look lovely!!


You're right about the lack of variation though - I hate smooth, rolling basslines. NEEDS MORE MAMPI!!!

I was wearing socks until i saw this! I love Alix Perez style and with Lynx there aswell, it's definatly a date.. Not to mention Mix Master Mike!

    

Princess Superstar!!! NOOOOOOOO im gonna be in Melbourne!!!

need a babysitter? 


[video: www.youtube.com]

Jeebus, you weren't fkn wrong! I'll definitely be at this. Mix Master Mike, A-Skillz and the two dnb names mentioned so far would be great to see in a festival environment.

Some nice additions!! Very keen to see Dubfire, not to mention Lynx and Alix Perez! 

Yeah we're pretty pleased all round. Getting DEEP DISH'S Dubfire is a huge coup. He's fuckin hot right now and drawing more heat from his solo productions and performances than Deep Dish as a duo which is really saying something.

Lynx and Pirez will kill it at this show. It's just the kind of DnB we're really in love with right now.

Its a week before, but I've decided I'll be celebrating my Birthday at this!

Mampi or STFU!

be careful what you wish for

No Mampi at this one I'm afraid. Probably not til 2009

Hit me up for VIP's direct if you're having your party there. Can probably even create special VIP cards at no extra cost tailored to hype your birthday as well as the event if you can get me accurate numbers. 

We have an awesome VIP area with a simulcast from the main stage, seperate bar and toilets, quality furnishings and smudge zones & free hair and makeup touchups.

There will only be 400 available for this event. The first 200 at just $60 each in packs of 5 or more. PM me if you're keen anyone.

this line up is huge.

free hair and makeup touchups? thats hot!

oh nice one nessa, wicked way to celebrate

OMG! I think I just wet my pants a little

Is this for real???

these dudes would have to be some of my fav producers atm

Well impressed! 

I will be here no doubt about it! cant wait for the madness

man we are spoilt.

venue announced yet?

Shores Complex over 4 areas. Outdoor area in heated enclosed marquee so fully winterproofed.

Sweet!

All the forum gossip is that Melbourne's WLS will be held on Sat 7 June (Sydney is on the 8th...)

But Melbourne (and Sydney) don't have Perez on the line up...


EDIT: Seems Princess Superstar isn't on the Melbourne line up either... Sorry Spacey!

Melbourne is shit.

 

A-Skillz, Alix Perez, Lynx, Staen 1, Grant Smilie, John Course are all our additions to proceedings. Hope thats cool. We Love in Adelaide will always retain a distinctly Eclipse feel as long as Cam and I retain any involvement.

dale

Good work!

I said!


NICE ONE BROTHER! 

Cant wait for it - I will have to start saving for this otherwise I wont be going 

Wow the earlybirds are selling well already. That's always such a good feeling. Wait til you all see the posters for this one. =)

image not archived: welovesoundsa2wo2.jpg

I wouldn't mind checking out Hybrid. Not really my thing but I have heard nothing but good things...

still far to early


bring on perez though liking his sound more and more lately

lynx is still a bit hit and miss for me dunno i just dont feel it

DAMN THIS SUCKS!!!!! so massive and i wont be here!!!!!!!!! perez and lynx are on fire at the moment!

im gona be in melbourne that weekend so any ideas if they are playing in melb anywhere? would be sweet as to catch them again!

Hybrid! 

Looks like a flyer for The Wiggles concert! 

AWesome line up! Askillz is soo cool! top notch! What tix worth?

Read the bottom of the flyer. 

Shit I'm observant!

$59 earlybirds the next couple of weeks, then $69.

PM me for VIP area passes. Bulk purchases of 5 or more only please.

Whats the plusses for a VIP?

An extra 8 points in scrabble.

Private bar service area, toilets, live simulcast from the main auditorium, confortable chill areas and free hair and makeup touchups... plus a cool credit card style card that can hang from a lanyard. Due to the size of our VIP area there will be a much tighter limit on VIP's than what people may be expecting so I'd recommend grabbing them early.

Cool. sounds like awesome show and the
sounds like the ultimate fashion accessory!

r u bein serious :O

big ups eclipse boys!

wow, i am so there. i've never been to we love sounds.. i think this is the time to start for sure

It's all come together nicely this year. Nationally there is a great team pushing We Love Sounds in every state now so this should become the launching pad for a really great annual event that will have a real national profile. Video Hits, Triple J and all these wicked sponsors are backing it. The lineup is really balanced for this one. Has plenty of eastern states festival vibe but makes room for some wicked breakbeat acts as well like Mix Master Mike, A Skillz, Hybrid and the DnB. We're heaps excited

Sorry for the delay everyone, here is the Venuetix weblink... http://www.venuetix.com.au/efs.php?v=5600

Booking fee free tix at www.eclipsetouring.com

Eww Utah Saints! I would definately be interested in seeing that

Have they have been to Australia before? Are both of them coming?

I think they will draw a big crowd with the house/dance peops.. and Mix Master Mike! woooo! 

Has venue been decided yet?

So many questions! 

**Edit*** oh, its at the shores - whoops. Thats going to be jammed packed. especially if its raining or real cold in June

Shores Complex for the venue.
MMM is great. Seen him about 5 time now!

There is a new 2008 remix of Somthing Good by Utah Saints (house/club mix, not the High Contrast one) so they are no doubt touring to pimp that.

Yeh i know.

I think that Utah Saints wouldn't even consider playing the High Contrast Mix....   

I hate when Club Classics are remixed like that anyway

i.e Greg Packer and his Silence Delirium remix

fuck that. Shit like that shouldn't be touched IMO, its sacrilege

We've got another possible DnB international on the hook for this. Class act too. Hold tight for second round announcements once the $59 tix sell through.

For those of you on facebook, here is the link.. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=15504588222

Please take the time to forward the facebook invite on to friends. We're up to 525 confirmed guests on the site. It's been growing at a rate of almost 100 per day and I really want to see how far and wide we can spread the word on this one.

Redeyes, Redeyes, Redeyes!!! 

I'm really looking forward to this

So its sold ya then Melvin?

Is there VIP area drink specials? Then we'll be talking.

A Skillz will be sick hopefully he brinks something a la Krafty Kuts Big Day Out Style!

got my VIP tickets to this just the other day 

fucking pumped...especially with the news that another dnb international may be coming 

I personally think he's better than Krafty Kuts. He blew me away the first time I saw him. Expect scratching galore, clean as hell mixing and a full mashup style. He also dropped more hiphop than breaks with a smattering of Nirvana and Rage Against the machine last time I saw him and had people trying to crowd surf in the Sceptre. I think the fact he's partnered on Krafty's label may have people slightly misreading the package. Regardl;ess, no one will be disappointed

I bet you say that to all the DJ's! 

Hey I love Krafty Kuts. He killed at the BDO with Dynamite. I loved it. Still the first time I went to see A-Skillz I was expecting Krafty Kuts due to the mildly misleading promo and got so much more. I stand by the call. Lets see how you feel post event. 

Wasn't trying to say one was better than the other, just had this funny image of you going round to all your acts individually and saying to them "I like you so much better than the other guy!" He he.
Judging from mixes I've heard from A-Skillz and Krafty, I'd much rather check out A-Skillz too. (Not saying Krafty's shit, but I like A-Skillz style better, like you pointed out he makes some mad tune selections)

A skillz sold me. the fact that i get to wear a groovy credit card shaped lanyard is just a plus!!!!




I went to that show expecting trika technology style beats and left completely blown away by how much I underestimated his talent! An insane blend of styles, sounds and beats. Thoroughly entertaining!

Last time I saw A Skillz I can't remember a fucking thing.
Mates told me it was a good night, actually the only real thing I remember was heading back to Tonic after and catching Patch's last few tracks before close.

So you got or are getting a VIP then Melv?

I hear Bailey is playing at this.

I thought Bailey was playing at Groove is in the Park, haha. We've got another act on the hook. Won't be any announcements til first round tix sell through in 12 days or so

 

maybe fierce?

mmm... perez hey... sounds like i should be attending this... depending on finances and work schedules... looks like fun

Looking forward to this more than anything atm!

better sort my ticket soon!

alix perez =

Na dude. As pretty as having a special necklace can be I think I'm gonna go with the standard issue. Doesn't seem to be worth going VIP. Don't need my hair and nails done, And surely the bar and pisser aren't that bad that I need a private one!

i Don't see the point of all these VIP tickets these days to me if you buy a ticket you should get a ticket unless promoters are gonna hook up corporate boxes or do something decent i feel it's a shit gimmick.

I'll buy GA and rough it with the yobs on the hill for this show.

Same. Went VIP for groove but that was just to see Roc Raida. There doesn't seem to be any real benefit? quick drinks and no line up for a piss? well hopefully the general admin bar will be pretty switched on and I've never had to wait that long for a piss!
I guess its aimed at chicks(ie. the hair- makeup idea) and for that reason I see the value.

Theirs yobs on the hill

Thats where its at!

$59 earlybird tix finish this weekend at which point the $65 VIP's will enjoy a few days where they are cheaper than standard tickets.

We have another DnB international up our sleeves it seems. It may be an act we run exclusively for VIP ticket holders and www.eclipsetouring.com members so you may want to holster your VIP area slagging to some extent until we decide on that.

Our VIP area at Paul Van Dyk's Beach Party and A DAY AT THE BEACH at the Shores were both very popular. If you want to criticise the setup at one of our events all good, but please refrain from citing VIP areas of other promoters events when criticising what our may or may not deliver.

Can't see how one can complain about it really. Seeing as GA tickets will be more expensive shortly and you can grab VIP's for 65, I don't really see much reason to arc up about it. I've gotten VIP's for the last few events I've been to and even though I never spent much time in those areas, it's always good to know you have somewhere to fall back to if shit gets out of hand. Don't see the point complaining about extra stuff, even if it doesn't hold much value for yourself.

dale. if possible can you pm me about when i can collect our tickets.

cheers mate

Great seeing as I haven't got my ticket yet


Great idea thats the kind of thing that makes me wanna get a VIP


I wasn't critisisng I was more pointing out that I didn't see the point or value in the VIP area! I'm sure there are plenty of people who do see the value I'm just not one of them, however the recent revelation of another act exclusively in the VIP definately wets my palate.

i'm looking forward to hearing who this is 

VIP international guest has been confirmed. Announcement to follow the rise in ticket price on Monday. There will be two more internationals in other genres announced at the same time. Some of them will be playing in the VIP area we are running with Electric Circus + Rocket Bar.

Keen to hear your guesses on the artist. Clue is   _ _ _ _ _

Wait til you see the stuff we've got planned. I'm excited.

Are they going to play the same sort of music as Alix Perez & Lynx? If so i'll say Sabre...?

Nope... Sabre would be nice though. This is an act that has visited many times before

Mampi?

Nope. Not this year.

So it's five letters? If it can be more I'm putting my money on Matrix.

P A T C H

:lol: yeah i thought that...

Calyx?

It seems Bad Company are touring around then as well....

hmmmm


F L U K E

Matrix will be later in the year. It's not Patch (although he may play at the event, just not as an international guest, haha) and it's not Calyx...  :biggrin:

It's not Fluke either.. hehe... its a genuine international.

Gotta head out. Keep the guesses coming. Gold star for the one who guesses right

Maybe I will elaborate more on the Bad Company thing. Either Vegas or Fresh?

Craze? I know you've brought him down a few times in the past...

going out on a limb..
Andy C?

Klute?
Marky?
Fabio?

:thumbsup:

break?

I still reckon it's Fresh or Vegas. Considering Bad Company are in Perth on June the 1st....

I know.

All I can say is get on to the VIP thing NOW!!!!!!!

G R O O V... fuck. I guess it ain't the 'Rider then.

Shit I hope it's not Noddy. That'd be a letdown.  :E

Better.

Don't tell anyone but Patch is actually coming back.

Anyone got VIPs floating about, I have been lazy on this due to the fact that I have had NO money incoming all year. Seriously in debt.

Got tickets?

I got some VIP's if you're keen, mate.

Its a real international, haha. Like the suggestions.... Wish I could just drop andy c as a secret act, haha. Think you're giving us too much credit with that guess Inflated.

Any responses to all our guesses?

It's not Fresh or Vagas  :dunno:

any of the OTHER guesses?   :hehe:

I'm gonna give more of a clue than Dale - the mystery act has been mentioned in this thread.

Break?

All will be revealed Monday =)

Not one of the guesses I take it?

It wouldn't be Break cos the clue was an act who has been here many times...he's only been once...

Imagine waking up next to me then.

I'm :cross: for Klute... he fuckin destroyed it at Mojos last time!!!

fresh?

mampi?

Fresh, Vagas, Mampi, Sabre have all been dismissed from memory. You can rule out Andy C too although the artist in question does run a record label...

Klute
missed him last time and really regret it!

break's a chicken it wouldn't be him

mosus?

mark 7?  :E

Ok additional acts will be announced on www.eclipsetouring.com over the weekend. Outside DnB we've added James Curd (USA) and have a big one off the Sydney lineup that should confirm shortly also. All the additions are a strong chance to play the VIP room stage so I recommend VIP's while they are available

Teebe?

narrows it down a bit klute maybe? pretty sure mosus is involved in liquid v? maybe him

Brief announcement now up on www.eclipsetouring.com

My god I hope I win a ticket. Or have cash by the time this comes around....

im sorry but pffft to lynx and perez FUCKING KLUTE BITCHES

You and I also. I've never won anything before!

(Except for a WWF prize pack when I got to talk to Mick Foley aka Mankind aka Dude Love aka Cactus Jack on SAFM when I was 12) :E

Yeah I might be pushing my luck a little considering I won a ticket to Groove is in the Park.

VIP starting to sound more like the hot ticket! They're still on sale yeah?

 :jawdrop:... there is no way I'm missing this one!!!

 :hyper:

whats the go with the 'we love' show Feat. george watts in like a week or so?

The techphonics guys approached us and offered to tun their next event as a launch party for We Love Sounds as they have a keen interest in some of the artists we have announced and will be adding to the lineup. Some of the techphonics dj's will be performing at the event and the plan at the moment is they'll copresent one of the stages. I think next Saturday should be a lot of fun. It'll be my birthday drinks if anyone wants to join us. Flash your We Love Sounds ticket or Eclipse VIP card for $5 entry at the door


Yep. Last $65 VIP's sold this weekend. $70 as of next week. At the current rate of sale VIP's may sell out up to two weeks prior to the event so let me know if you want to reserve any.

i cant believe Utah Saints will be there!! NEAT!!!  :mental:

wish i could go *sniffs*

Sounds great. Been hearing some really good things about the techphonics shows and George watts!

Hooked mine up yesterday. Klute being a huge selling point!!!

nit picking, but...

Its JORGE Watts :) And yep, those techphonic boys know how to party!

Apologies to JORGE

Speaking of the Sceptre. Anyone heading in tonight for Kumfy Klub???

i wish!

will be there next weekend for a few bevvies tho.

KLUTE!

 :music: :music: :music:

Hell yeah! Really lookin forward to seeing him. Missed his last show here but hear he tore the roof off. Should be awesome!

OMFG!! I just noticed Klute on the bill, the man is a LEGEND!! I am so there.

Klutes set at Mojo would have been undoubtably one of the best set of 07 in adelaide!

Last time I saw Klute was at the Sceptre, and before that at Minke. He is absolute quality, like a deeper and darker Bailey.

Absolutely smashing line up we have here Eclipse, I must say! Kudos. :hatoff:

 klute and perez same show.   sick

Oh yeah! That was an awesome night!

Well, the bits i remember...

:drunk:

Just a note for the budget conscious. One the store on the website now... www.eclipsetouring.com we knock $4-5 per ticket off we love sounds tix if you buy 5 or more at a time.

Yes, yes indeed it got a bit that way. I remember passing a spliff around the dance floor which most who were there got some then it got all pear shaped, well for me anyways.. :E


Bring this shit on I say!!

How long do your tickets usually take to get posted out?

What are the vip tickets werth at the moment

bang on that .
fuckin dope!!!
Klute's last set here at mojo was 1 of the best sets i have seen .

indeed. :)

Next ticket mailout is Tuesday. We've all been a little under the weather but will pick up the mailout frequency now the event is 3 weeks out. Your two are on the list Chris =)

Couldn't make it but sounds like it went off!

Hey guys...

We're thinking of running Drum & Bass all on the one stage so we can give all the internationals 2 hour sets.

What are your thoughts?

Seperate DnB room or would you rather Dnb be mixed in with the House and hiphop and be flipped from one stage to the next over the course of the day?

Also.... what order would you play the internationals? We're thinking Lynx-Klute-Alix Perez. Keen for feedback though

i say yes....

for order i vote alix, lynx, klute

Alix vs Lynx, then Klute

changes of stage, or at least not in a row

All D'n'B on one stage sounds good

In order of lynx - Perez - Klute

Probably wont be there so this won't effect me, but I'd have to say Lynx - Perez - Klute as well. DnB on the single stage would be okay, but it would be pushing it a bit to expect people to sit through all 3 in a row. Expanded out would be good.

  :lol: 

 Such a chore to sit through 3 DJ's.

 Hate when that happens.

Haha. Personally I'd love it, but thinking of the majority of the crowd here. Because I'm assuming it is over the whole day and night? Haven't actually looked TBH but it would also keep people there for longer if it was spread out.

i dunno i wont be venturing to far from the dnb

all i know is klute has got to play last

Sounds like one to weigh up. I think the majority of people here (including myself) would want to see an all dnb stage, but maybe the amount of punters going to see other acts wouldn't warrant it (I don't know this).

Of course I also wouldn't want to see dnb on a stage which compromised on sound either if it were to be given its own stage.

I reckon I would prefer to see Alix Perez play on a non dnb stage with the other acts. He plays such beautiful music I would love to see him exposed to a more diverse audience, rather than have him hidden away in a back room for only the headz to see. Would be a massive waste of his talents imo.


Exactly. A DnB only stage at this event will most likely be the 3rd stage or a small 2nd stage. Would love to see at least one of the DnB acts on the main stage.

all on at the same time in separate rooms.
that will really spread the vibe

holy shit!!!

:rofl:

 :lol:

thats it give them no where to hide

I agree with Noddy, but (other than Perez) one stage mainly DnB for the day. Home base with Lynx then Klute to finish the day!

This is the show that was spoken about in the 'direction of DnB in Adelaide'
A perfect chance to expose the music to some new heads.
I agree with Noddy Perez would get a lot of non-DnB punters listening.

It would suck to lock it in the back room for the heads, well actually as cool as that maybe.
It wouldn't be good to waste an opportunity to introduce new people to the sound that we all love.

i don't think dnb will be a small room at this show though.

I disagree completely with this.

In terms of crowd numbers at events these days, DnB would probably be bottom of the list of styles represented at this party. The DnB acts on the bill at this barely rate a mention compared with the rest of the line-up in terms of this event. I have no doubt an all DnB room would be the third arena at this show when looking at the rest of the line-up.

fair call, that is just me being one eyed  :music:

vote for an all D&B room, there has to be at least one area safe from the FFF's.

personally i would rather lynx / perez / klute

This is the main reason I'd prefer a D&B only stage but it could be good spreading it out if done properly.


Agreed 100%!!!

I'm of two minds still. It looks good seperate but actually looks pretty sweet mixing up all the arenas with different styles throughout the day too. Keen on the feedback though. It will factor in our final decision.

Dale

Spot on

I really think it would be a huge shame if there was a party this size and DnB is relegated to the back of the venue and nowhere else. I would hope to think that DnB is still a popular enough style with enough crossover appeal to work alongside the other styles here. Especially a DJ like Perez.

I would hate to see DnB take on the role that hardcore has kind of had for the last 5 years - the small room hidden away to keep the few die hards happy. DnB has been a main room style at these big events for a while now - it would be a shame for it not to be represented on the premier stage in some form.

And all of this "keep us away from the rest of the crowd" bullshit is a fucking joke. Do people honestly think like that? Its not like theyre axe murderers or have aids fires. It would only be for one set which I dare say any true DnB head would be on the dancefloor for anyway.

I just see events like this as a perfect way to attract new people to the music. Locking us away in an exclusive little DnB zone somewhere aint gonna help anything imo.

:lol:

I think Noddy's got his finger on the pulse there. I (selfishly ) said all D'n'B on one stage purely so I'd always know where to find it and my friends but Noddy's right about getting the music out there on the main stage(stupidly when I said all D'n'B stage I kinda figured it'd be the main stage) where it can appeal to not only the heads but a bunch of others as well!

Noddy's points are resonating with a lot of my own feelings. We mixed a lot of House crowd in with DnB crowd at High Contrast and to me it seemd like only a good thing. We're leaning more in the direction of having DnB accross a couple of stages now but we'll be careful to program the event so there is DnB or a turntalist option running at all times

 :biggrin:

Tickets received.

Looks like we're set for a big day!

Dale

This falls in the worst posible time for me. I have 4 assignments due in the following week and I don't see any one of them being finished prior. I'll hang onto the hope, but it's gonna be one of those last minute situations if it happens. :(

perez has to main stage surely.



hottest dnb uk act for the last 2 years. :biggrin:

We're still deciding. HMAS Disco stage is looking really sweet. Big 600 head room attached to a 15x20metre enclosed marquee area Chill area. Could easily wind up being the more exciting stage.

hell yeah!!!
main stage for sure.
will get alot of crew not into dnb dancing i think

Hell fuckin yeah!!! Got some moneys that were due so it's time to sort a ticket :D

Not bad for a young man from Belgium. :biggrin:


My fingers are so crossed. I think I may actually cry if I don't get to see any one of these acts. :|

I think this event is worth a cash advance considering I have a full time job now.....

bring on this madneesssss :slayer: :slayer: !!!!!!!!

yay this sounds fun!

 :cry: No go for me Unfortunately...

Shoot Me Now..  :banghead:

So... who is going???

DJ Kysler

 :kickin: I'll be there...

I am tempted to go to see Utah Saints thats for sure. They will go off

But since its on Monday its pretty much a no go :(

Just wondering, what ever happened to parties on the Saturday or Sunday of a Long Weekend? Is it because the acts are booked elsewhere for the Sunday?

Yeah it's def not productive with work the day after... needs more recovery time!!!

There is no way I can roll on into work Monday in the state I usually am on a Sunday

 :lol:

A Monday after a big Saturday night is hard enough!

 Pardon my ignorance on this, but why will they go off?

 Were they huge before my time or something?

 It's not like they have an extensive catalogue of hits (or do they?)

 It just feels like they are touring of the back of a modern remix of Something Good?

 Feel free to shoot me down.

:clap:

pretty sure you are spot on there mate. how the hell they are rewarded a better time-slot than mix master mike is unbelievable.

they are going to play something good, then something good '08, then something good 08' dnb rinse, then something good 08' australian idol winner's version.

Klute V Dubfire!!!

Dont even have to think..Klute ftw!

not me unfortunately

they are actually really good dj's.. also perform under alias of beat vandals playin' breaks

I'm nearly leaning towards Dubfire! I really wanna see Klute but hear some great things about Dubfire!

myself & mrs. p.a.s.

if you see lots of dreads it's probably us......or griff. come and say hi (& bring birthday presents :E ). 

Yeh I can see what you are saying about Something good. You are right in regards to Utah Saints touring on the back of the new remix. But hopefully when they perform they do it the whole hog.  Do you actually believe when the Utah Saints perform that the dancefloor wont go off? I would say yes- therefore maybe my comment is justified?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Saints

 :lol: I highly doubt they will play High Contrasts remix.  :lol:

 I like their style .... so if I like it then thats just my opinion.

Just like people in this thread think Klute will be good to see.... Good for them. Hope they enjoy it and have a good boogie.

I have seen Klute everytime he has been to Adelaide. Therefore to see him again doesnt exactly make me jump with excitement in comparison to how other people may feel. I like to see an act Ive never seen before....

I also havent really looked at the timeslots so I dont know what time who is on and when Mix Master Mike is on.

Just my opinion anyway..... Im pretty sure my opinion in the overall scheme of things doesnt count for much.  :lol:

 Fair enough, if they were big back in the rave days I guess. The dancefloor probably will go off and they are obviously good DJ's.

 Was just a bit bemused as to why all of a sudden they are a huge dance act.

 1992 - Something Good

 1992- 2007 - ???

 2008 - Profit!

 :E

 Hope everyone has a ball at this, Perez would be sick but study + no cash = no go.


 
 

 

Reports on Utah Saints set from the We Love Ministry show in Perth were awesome.

 :lol:

Well I reckon why not let the DJs profit. Especially if they put on a good enough performance at an event.

But from that, just wondering what are your thoughts on High Contrast jumping on the 'Something Good-profiting-bandwagon'?  :E

Surely he is more guilty of cashing in on a tune than the actual artist who made it?

can someone light their lighter to utah saints 'something good' for me? 

nah, i seriously love that track! 

i am so retarded with dates and days atm...

Monday        Light rain developing.                 Min  9    Max 17

If I am there for it I will haha seriously!

scored a free ticket for signing up on the on the eclipse website

No open air stages guys so if any rain develops it will just effect a coupld of outdoor chill zones. There is a massive 15 x 20 metre enclosed marquee on the back lawn sheltering the area from any cold or rain. It can be opened up if its a clear day or closed up if its not.

We are totally covered.

Also. Its getting to be a pain meeting people for VIP tickets so just message me names to put on a VIP card collection list and that way you can just pay standard price at venuetix or on the door and still get your VIP card. Offer open to first 50 names only ok.

Dale

nice one on the coverage

only 3 more sleeeps! 

2 more sleeps now!!!

Good to see people are taking me up on the VIP CARD collection list. 42 more slost available for people who want to send me names to collect their VIP cards at the door if they are buying standard tickets at the door or from Venuetix/Inbound/Clinic 116.

no its 3 isnt it?

Not for me, lol 

Just under 300 presales left at venuetix. Inbound and Clinic 116 still have stocks

300 plus any leftovers (if applicable) kept for door sales on the day. Done 50 in the last 2 hours so looks like we're firing up for the last couple of days at venuetix

Sleep is over rated . No sleep for me

Working on Monday (which is gonna be good and shit all at the same time), have fun kids!

any word on whether there will be pass outs on the day??

I'm VERY excited!

normally no pass outs till at least 6 or 7 wouldn't expect anything different this year

None of my good friends are going, only people I kind of know so I'll be there solo practically.

Come say hi to me on the day and I might roll you up something! 

i cant remember what you look like man(i blame weed for my memory or lack of) only met you for that 2 minutes at inbound a while back i reckon, so if you see me come up and we can roll some shit up

1 More sleep!!! 

No passouts til 7pm and this is a condition of the liquor licence, not someting we have come up with. Security will have some discretion before 4pm but definately no jumping in and out between 4pm and 7pm. There will be food stalls at the event so its shouldn't be a major hardship.

Dale

Proper announcement to follow. Just wanted to notify everyone as presales are limited to just 200 $18+bf tickets for this one. Venuetix and the store at http://www.eclipsetouring.com are fully stocked.

Pretty girls will be handing out a few comps during Mix Master Mikes set at We Love Sounds tomorrow if anyone is in attendance also.

See ya there 

Just got an offer for a free ticket.. Still deciding if i can be bothered getting my arse down there.

if you dont go with a free ticket i will personnally have to bitch slap the shit out of you

KLUTE MUST NOT BE MISSED BY ANYONE

Yeh i know, i wanna go.. im just so fucking behind in my assignments its not even funny.
Having said that ill prolly spend tomorrow procrastinating as usuall anyway.

2 hours of klute will teach you more than you'll ever need to know

 

See yo'all there 

   Woo! Thank god this day has come!

getting there just before 2 to lynx it up. pretty fucking excited i must say 

warm up session in progression

make sure your tickets are in you wallets/purses kids 

Let's get ready to Rumble.

Sigh, I didn't manage to finish work I had to do so I had to sell my ticket. I'm sitting at home listening to an old Alix Perez mix... spewin. Have fun you lucky bastards.

Hurry up Kysler, Lynx will be starting now 

i hear klute is destroying it and we cant find a babysitter

damnit fuck shoulda gone now

Klute rinsed it despite the shit sound in that room.

Alix Perez though..... oh my lordy. Set of the year hands down. So, so, so much freshness.

did you expect anything less?

Alix Perez, Lynx & Klute FTW!!  

KLUTE OH MY GOSH HE FUCKING KIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLED IT


hands down set of the year nothing will come close

I really liked some of the tunes Lynx was playing, Perez had it going on too I loved his set and Klute just topped it off. I would have liked to have more money to drink on, but it was a great day none the less.

Shalom shamigga. Meshugunah. Spaghetti Bolognese. This is fucking DJ fucking Kysler. I've just loaded up on fucking sarsberry and the fucking like and fucking shit is going to go down in this fucking piece. Fucking Myles is on the fucking 1's and 2's backing it up with fucking Benzaah, soon to be tearing the fucking roof off it's fucking hinges with the rude bwoy jungle stylee. It's because We fucking Love Sounds. And that's just the fucking way it is. keyser231

Klute definitely had the best crowd reaction but he did rinse out hit after hit with a fair bit of cheese thrown in. Nothing wrong with that though.

Alex Perez though was truly inspiring. Despite coming on after Tommy Trash and having the entire room walk out, within 30 minutes he had the room packed. Considering he was playing some seriously deep tunes and a lot of really fresh, ultra progressive sounds, that is a rather impressive effort. It was a proper journey set, not using big dancefloor drops but a perfectly structured selection to create te atmosphere. I would rate it on par with D-Bridge at Enchanted even.

I grab every Perez set I can find and even then, he still delivered a fair few tunes I hadn't heard before. He is definitely one of the few guys at the forefront of DnB at the moment.

Didnt see too much of the other acts although what I saw of Mixmaster Mike was rubbish. Just realy sloppy and all over the place but the crowd seemed to love it. He was doing the whole mash up thing but having seen it done properly by Scratch Perverts or Yoda, he just wasn't in the same league.

I also caught bits of Utah Saints and they were excellent. What I heard of them was absolute quality - dancefloor friendly without being cheesy.

Tried to listen to Dubfire but it just wasn't my thing. Not saying it was bad, just that that minimal progressive thing just doesn't do it for me at all.

Cheese?!?!?! There def weren't no Coon or Mozzarella in there as far as I'm concerned!!!
Klute fuckin smashed it once again... just that this time there was a respectable crowd there to witness it.
Perez def did a great job, just (IMO) not to the same standard as Klute. Fuckin top guy tho!!!
After party at Electric Circus was a fuckin joke!!! Basically just a glorified house night

Bigups to the front row kru... Rumble, Bel & Rebel. Rockin out together for the whole 2hrs of Klute was a pleasure with ya'll there

Okay, maybe not cheese as such - definitely no clipz, dillinja, hazard stuff. But it was definitely a set full of dancefloor anthems. As I said, nothing wrong with that but there are 20 DJs in Adelaide who can play a set like that with those same tunes. No denying he had the place pumping big time though, even with only a car stereo for a sound system.

Perez on the other hand delivered exactly what I'm looking for from an international - the absolute freshest tunes that even the biggest slsk whore wouldn't have, structured perfectly into a journey of absolute cutting edge DnB. He proved that he can easily be regarded alongside the likes of D-Bridge as one of the scenes musical leaders right now. It ain't that hard to use big drops and well known tunes to make people throw their hands up. But to take music as cutting edge as what Perez played and fill up a dancefloor (and keep them there), is something very few DJs are brave enough to try and even fewer are able to successfully pull off.

Disagree... maybe 2 or 3 locals max. IMO, it def wasn't just dancefloor fillers at all.


That I couldn't agree with more. IMO, the sound was average at best in every room!!!
No bass what so ever in the Acetate/D&B room.

I also think some nice chilled out Dubstep & other chilled genres would have gone down a treat outside where everyone was chillin most of the arvo. Maybe a few things to consider next time Dale.

What were you on dude!? 

I feel completely the opposite. Klute was really good! loved how he kept it rolling! Perez on the other hand, while your spot on about the stucture and the all very new or unknown(at least to me)tracks I found his set came off a little dull. Saying that I've felt the same way seeing D Bridge.

A Skillz was the highlight of the day for me! That cunt is truly awesome. Just love the party vibe he puts out.
MMM was pox!
Utah Saints really got into the show which was good but unfortunately I didn't. Not sure why as everyone around seemed to be going off!
Dubfire played some great music but It just doesn't seem right if your not using any decks at all. I'm all for Serato and more versatility but not even touching a turn table is a little bit piss poor. I know plenty of people are doing it these days but to me thats the kind of set up you use to deejay a wedding or some shit like that.
All up was a pretty good day.

I didn't make it out, but anyone got anything to say about Hybrid's set?

Yeah forgot about Hybrid. Really enjoyed it. Great bass! good warm up for the day.

We were being heavily sound monitored for that event and with so many areas running we had to run a little quieter than we might have liked and elected to go for chilled piping of sound from ROOM 2 outside as opposed to a major stage. Its no reflection on Novatech that sound was running at 90% and that we had to deaden the bass ever so slightly.

It's a small sacrifice to ensure that the Shores passes any scrutiny with flying colours because it's a beautiful venue that Adelaide really needs. I mean what even comes close in this town?? Where else can Adelaide host a festival for thousands of people where all the stages can be held indoors?

By the way... did anyone catch A-Skillz set? Oh my lord. Wound up playing two and three quarter hours and the last half hour featured some blissful dnb. A-Skillz, Craze, Kentaro, Krush, DJ Lord, Z-Trip... so many wicked turntablists that pump the DnB given the chance. I wish more people would step outside the box and try something a little different. I loved A-Skillz hey. Amazing capper for the day

Highlight of day IMO

lynx was great. klute was awesome. perez quite simply owned the day for me.

found this on youtube

[video: www.youtube.com]

Awesome day. Klute topped it for me, but I was digging lots of the tunes Lynx dropped as well. I also dropped a necklace there which had a lot of sentimental value. Was most likely in the Acetate/DnB room. I have a feeling it may have been binned though, as I was already a fair way home when I realised, and by the time I got back that room had been all cleaned up.

Killer day though, only complaint I had was the sound, and not so much the volume but more the acoustics of the joint, which can't really be helped. Galvo and sound just don't work that well IMO. Bit too much spillage into the dnb room as well. But then as Dale put it there aren't many other venues like that around Adelaide.

oh universe how i love you

*jealous*

Having an awesome lazy day after juggling a million tasks yesterday. Was gutted I only caught a little of Klute and Lynx due to running around. That Klute room was awesome.

Commendable effort from Pirez. The look he gave me when he was following Tommy Trash was priceless, haha. Love that dude

  you move fast! I took that video, was gona post it right now 
I digged the whole day. Perez, Klute, Lynx rinsed their shit and made me well happy

EDIT: I dug the whole day 

dug

Fair enough. And I totally agree on the venue... best in town fo sure!!!

i love the shores, wicked venue. next time i think a cabin at the caravan park would be the way to go!

edit - just remembered the drunken antics of mylo... "fancy a bum? what? a bum" i think he asked everyone there. including a dude out the front having a piss who seemed quite keen, but maybe he wanted to smack him out 

Ideas being kicked around for next years show already =) We'll get that last 500 and sellout next year for sure

what was with the dude that grabbed the mic off pase and spat it skibba style when klute was playing??

Who? The one like mc mennan! You are now,you are now locked down!!!!! Wicked sound of the undergound!!

The freshness each and everytime! Cream of the crop!

nah wasn't mennen was a sketchy looking skin head.

edit - gotta say the dude had balls to do it, klute turned the tunes down for a bit too!

I gotta say, there were some serious peeds there all day. One of the biggest munt fests I've been to in quite a while.

"wanna bum" was on Balls of Steel the other night, get some new material Myles. As for munts being out in patrol I could barely understand the messages I received from mates, spewing I did not go.

i was munty as, had to leave perez to go and spew out on the lawn, classy! 

Nice one. At least you didn't ask if you could have a piss behind the trailer.

he did have the dying lamb





toilets were an issue though. there were heaps of chicks in the blokes toilets.

How is that an issue? 
I never ventured past blokes world though so thinking about it there were probably shitters for guys as well hey.

haha i should have said they were an issue for the ladies 

  gold

me and parralell were doing a bit of ghosting yesterday 2 people were looking at us a bit strange



my 1 complaint why was klute stopped at 8 pm when obviously the place was gona be open till 10?

Indeed. Klute should have played a 4 hour set as the crowd were loving it. He looked like he was fair into it. Although by his comment to be he had to go to the toilet pretty bad though. Nice bloke though.

Utah Saints were pretty good, I really wasn’t expecting that.
Klute was the standout DnB act for me fucking loved it.
A Skillz was a great finish to the night man he knows how to crank a party vibe.
Awesome day and there was defiantly some loose cats getting round even count myself in that category man I hate when I get like that.

ive got an exclusive klute mix on rollerz tonight!

Had an absolute fucking BALL!
Perez smashed it in my opinion.. such a wickedly structured rolling set. Was front and centre most of the set.. Certainly backed up last years effort at the sceptre beautifully. He's also a fuckin top bloke.. had a chat with him bout random shit before his set. Can't wait to hear him and Survival on Critical!! That should be off the fuckin HEEEEZIE!
Lynx played a pretty nice set from the bits and pieces I heard.. he's also a top bloke. It surprises me that we get these producers/DJ's that are basically on top of their game in every aspect, yet they still got the time to talk shit with fans. Love it.
Klute certainly didn't disappoint either. First time seeing him.. can see what the fuss is about! Wicked set!
Massive thanks goes out the Eclipse guys.. Another fucking flawless (bar sound volume) event. Mad props to you guys!
Also bigups to all I saw proceeded to talk cod-shit to.. Simmo.. Miles.. Nessa.. Rumble.. and all the other random peeps.. Shit even got to meet the afro that is Natho!

All up, my head was excessively sore yesterday.. which signifies I had a thoroughly awesome day/night. Bigups!

Some random lol

We told Klute to turn him down then he turned the tunes down lol then I was like no the mc   then he realised nodded and turned him down lol

It wasn't Mennen - and frankly I wasnt liking mennen too much he was hurting my ears - credit to him for getting up there though as I havent seen him around for a while...

Missed lynx which I was devo'd about  but he was too early for me to get in there lol Perez rocked it with a heap of stuff I havent heard but for me at an event like that as much as I liked the tunes I prefer a dance floor and a DJ thats loving it and for me he just didnt seem like he was liking it as much as Klute was - Klute was wicked as per usual nothing else to expect from, that man  - The tunes kept the people on the floor and also it kept more and more coming into the room too - every time I walked out to get a drink it was more and more packed when I came back in - where as Perez just didnt seem to keep the floor rcoking as much but maybe that was the time he played and who else was up... i walked into utah Saints andd walked straight back out lol tunes were ok but the people in there all fluroed up made me walk straight back out

Big big props to the peeps who made my day - Rumble, Rebz, Both Lisa's, Les, Cleasc and the front row crew and we cant forget the one like Klute

Big Big rant at the 6'5" dude who stood in front of me in the front row and thought he could just do that and stand right in front of me when I was dancing enjoying the tunes - what a knob

What a day - Thanks to all I saw

Uh oh!

Inthemix

Pics are up. Page isn't loading for me though.
*edit*: the lead is out of the mixing desk apparently.

nice, looks like my munty head kept out of the pics 

Yeah that cunt always ruins shows...always stands front row too. Bloody freaks of nature! 



Must have caught you doubling over having a googyspew! 

Don't think they are all uploaded yet. Pretty sure I saw Hardcore Master running around the place with his camera as well.

 

been a while since i have done one of them

That's what I'm waiting for.

Singlet? 

edit: This is TROUb9L:

I dont know who he was I have never seen him before - well rude  he stood infront of like 4 of us  None of us were impressed and told him to move  he was amused with himself   I was happy once I could see and move again 

Pity Rookie wasnt there to investigate cause I have a sneaking suspision it was Cale 

5109 Bud plate frickedy fresh! Smoke was sick. Was there a show on? HI guys. Big ups to the front row and back row massive. Bigdowns to the kersal massive!  Tellem ginger joe! Yeah maan!! That dj was dope!!

Hmm, couldn't be Keyser then, he's not the type to scoff at your request to move and be a cunt about it. Serious!

I know how we can settle this! Was he wearing a baseball cap?

Don't think Cale was there. Didn't see him so doubt it was him.

Suspicious IMO!

I know Keyser I am sure it wasn't him unless I am mistaken who he is


Suspicious IMO

He was tall and brunette although I dont think it was Cale but still like to tease none the less

 
Nah, I'm waiting for you to come home before I pull the singlet out again

Agreed %110

Na Cale didn't go. I saw some really tall cunt wandering around though. Probably had about 2 or 3 inches on Keyser.

Awwwwww! 

photos now up for WLS and Afterparty on eclipsetouring.com

well, We Love Fluro was cool (by cool, i mean shit) if you were into anything but the mainstage crapfest.

Bring back d&b nights, for.... d&b. Fuck undermining the d&b acts to 'expose' it to other people. other people obviously couldn't give a fuck if it's on a system that sounds like my next door neighbours ghettoblaster from tandy with the 'bass boost' button switched off.

Leave the big festivals for the crowds that want that. Klute/perez/lynx would've been much more enjoyable for all involved if they played at their own venue on their own night, with a decent fucking system and no pretentious wankers to put up with.

Highlight of the night was the fucking mini pizza's, and that's saying a lot.

actually perez's set was cool, but not what i was expecting from him. seemed like he was playing for himself, like having a mix in his bedroom and we were all just spectating. cool tunes though, just not for everyone and some were a bit ahead of their time for most people.

Really? He didn't play any different to the multitude of Perez sets floating around the net.

Played exactly what I was expecting and hoping for.

there is no way you could ever see 3 acts like this in a club show without someone losing a lot of cash.
dnb club nights were at their healthiest when dnb was a also a major part of big events..
without the exposire gained from these events the scene will slowly get smaller until all the big names become a prospect that isnt viable.

Very true.  I dont mind the crap cunts at big shows like that. Gives me somthing to feed off.

I also like big events like WLS to discover new music myself, not just exposing DnB to others. The only reason I went was for the DnB and as a result got to catch Utah Saints who I thought were awesome.

Sure, I had to put up with a heap of people who annoyed me there, but I could say the same thing about coming on here.

hell yeah.

and like josh says, its often as much about checking out new stuff yourself. maybe most of it aint your cuppa, but if one is then its worth it - and spose its the same for someone who then discovers that they really like drum & bass - as probably most of us did once. fuck i know the first time i heard jungle at a show it was a second room affair and i was sold from then on.

being blinkered to one-genre shows is pretty limiting for everyone
