Playtime returns with another installment of the Heavyweight Sounds series.

Joining him will New Zealand's latest powerhouse - State of Mind who last smashed it here at Winter Enchanted
The suprise package & dark horse for this is Sigma's Wooz. Sigma have had several releases on Charge & True Playaz but Wooz also has placed in the UK's top 5 at the DMC's held there. Expect him to give Hype a true test as to who is the scratch master..

Local Supports - DJ PATCH, MARK 7, MPK, JOHN DOE, MC G SWIFT, PASE

You are forgiven 

 You know what I don't think I have ever heard a DJ Hype set

 

Just open the door to the deck room at Labrina tonight then.

Nads has a wicked set with MC Dynamite in her car. Thats the one I'd chase. Probably the best one I've heard.

hype is the first dj i listened to..badass

same.. the early ganga crew & true playaz stuff converted me from hip hop

whys that? ill be in there!

all you need is del in there on another deck and you could become the hype tribute show

wobble and scratch

Hanging to see State of Mind and Hype!

nice one boys!

Yup, my first tapes of straight up Jungle sets were Hype, Randall and Kenny

... and Mickey Finn when he was rinsin it awol ...

Rider UW3 OMG Blown it away.......................

Can't wait for this gig ~ a holiday in Adelaide already hahaha, fukn let's av it mofo's

7

limited $25 tix in stores now

Any idea how much they will go up to???
Is it worth me not eating for a day to grab it now???

full price are 35 +bf

easy, cheers. I think I'll eat next week then

Hype is just a fucking don. He will smash the place up. That is all.

Hype sets were the first jungle/D'n'B I ever copied off a mate and the first I ever downloaded.

Hey, does anyone know if hype is playing anywhere else in AUS, Brissy perhaps? don't know if i can make it back to adelaide for this and missing hype isn't really an option. 

No Hype in Brisbane, just checked for you.

Dale

fook yeah

it's safe to say hype is to dnb what afrika bambatta was to hip hop

Good when he started, but should have given it up years ago? Yup, I'd agree with that :P

A fat bloke obsessed with UFOs and secret aliens from Saturn who ruled ancient Egypt?

But I bet FunkyJ will still be there for it.

Bring the Hype and true playa bizzness...

BOH

So what kind of set can we expect from Hype now-a-days?

I haven't downloaded any of his sets for an eternity.

?

fuckn A. got a decent set of him and andy going b2b. also got a united dance set on tape from 95. definitely up there with my favourite sets. week before my birthday 2 so i guess i'll be celebrating there. bring it.

Essentially Hype is to drum and bass as Afrika Bambaata was to the development of hip-hop. He first became involved in music through the legendary Shut Up and Dance sound system, like many before him his interest growing from physically building the speakers that made up the rig to DJ'ing, spinning reggae, house and hip hop throughout the eighties. As time passed, his skills behind the turntable grew to the extent of winning the London heat of the 1989 DMC's and going on to represent Britain in the European championships."

While continuing to play at high capacity events Hype also made the move into radio, becoming involved with influential pirate station Fantasy FM before taking up a position at Kiss FM - his Sunday night sessions some of the most popular and securing him Best Male DJ and Best Radio DJ at subsequent Hardcore Awards."

His time in the studio began at Kickin', co-producing The Scientist's seminal 'Exorcist' and 'The Bee' before laying down tracks for a number of other labels - the most notable of which, Suburban Base, saw him compiling the still highly sought after 'Drum and Bass Selection' series in addition to notching up his own underground smashes in the form of 'Trooper' and 'Shot In The Dark' while touching upon the charts with 'Isotonic' on FFRR."

With substantial success, it was only a matter of time before Hype established his own label Ganja in 1993 working closely with fellow ex-Suburban Base artist and friend Pascal. 'Cops' opened up the play for his Ganja imprint which was later to feature 'Ganja Man' and Zinc's legendary 'Super Sharp Shooter,' before peaking with the 'Still Smokin' album, a collaborative effort with Pascal's Frontline Records. Perhaps surprisingly considering the subsequent runaway success of the label, the intention was never specific, as Hype explains."

'Ganja Records was never meant to be anything, I was never planning on building anything from it, and it was just a knock up as I wanted a label to put some tunes on. As the label built itself without me really having to do anything I realised that if I did choose to put some effort into something I could build something really strong. I'd been encouraging Zinc to do his own thing for some time, though since he didn't really want to be out on his own - myself, Zinc and Pascal decided to set up a label as a collective.'

Having flirted with major's in the form of a deal with RCA/Parousia as Ganja Crew in 1997, the threesome backed out of renewing their options choosing instead to retain their independence through establishing their own True Playaz. Hype explains his Philosophy. 'There are two things which keep me going. Firstly, I haven't got anything else - this is it for me so I've got to keep it going - I look at what I have and music has got me everything in my life as well as enabling me to help my family. Secondly I see the enthusiasm for this music from people all over the world. This year alone we've dj'd all over the world; Spain, Canada, Switzerland, Estonia and we know that the whole planet wants it. When you've evolved with something and become part of it on a level where you know that there is such a love for it - it becomes something very special to you. To think five years ago no one could have ever have contemplated that this music would be where it is now. The day I'm playing out and the audience doesn't like it anymore I'll probably move onto something else.'

imo he shits on andy c and any other dj for that matter.  *waits to get shut down

Sorry dude. Hype is good but that comment just defies logic.

get onto it if anyone wants 28 dollar ticket cause i have one left i think

is the price goin up blake?

full price are 30+bf, i'll drop some in to inbound tomorrow

 

Will be my first DNB show in at least a year...and I'm mostly doing it so Jut doesnt whinge, but still amped for this one

calyx and teebee at st paul's for ultraworld was fine, the venue was fine, the sound was fucking loud but it wasn't distorted like last night. i wonder what changed...

me and my friends thought hype was throwing a tantrum and refusing to play because he thought the sound equipment wasn't up to scratch or something.... it's kind of good to know that the problems were purely technical and not because hype was being a diva, heh.

who was the guy just before hype? was that sigma? i liked his set best. he dropped all the tunes i was expecting hype to play. by the time hype came on i was getting tired.

the new smoking laws are whack.... i suppose i'll get used to them. agree about the gross fart smells on the dance floor though! not appealing.... although as a has-been and still occasional smoker it's nice to not have the extra temptation while i'm on the floor.

OUTRAGE BADASS!!!!!

Sound aside, what did Hype play?

Horrible Tru Playaz wobble or something decent?

I agree 100%. Look, personally I had some minor complaints following Mampi Swift (which happened to be at the same venue) but my issues were with the sound tech, not the venue, and they weren't that major. It came down to just not having a switched on tech that could jump on probelems as they occur rather than let them build up into a mini shambles + lack of preparation.

The fact is Novatech who do the sound at HQ can always be brought in to tech at St Pauls and the same rig in HQ is ready for hire anytime. They don't have a permanent inhouse rig at St Pauls anymore. It's at the promoters discretion now that St Pauls don't do Saturday nights. I don't know who did the sound last night but I didn't see one familar face from the Swift event or any other show I've personally done there. In fact the company I used for Swift are the ones doing the Enchanted Forrest sound this year so we better all hope it wasn't their performance last night, haha.

You have to just chalk a night like that up to bad luck in a lot of respects and then seriously consider whether to use the techs again if they were half arsed. There is no way to even draw a connection between one event and the next or to blame the venue for sound provided by the promoters and their tech company.

My 2c anyway. Just hate to see the baby thrown out with the bathwater. St Pauls is a great space with a lot of character. It has been the home of some truly memorable experiences for me and a lot of others. Just because some spilt drinks and average techs resulted in a once off sound disaster last night, doesn't mean we should move all large events to HQ. I mean how reactionary and ultimately, how boring. You can't tell me you wouldn't get sick of being in the same room every gig. Variety is the spice of life after all and events should always be presented with innovation and improvment upon the standards previously set as their goals. Not a safe formula people will ultimately tire of that could still fuck up is someone spills a drink anyway. Personally, I don't have one planned yet but I'm going to drop a wicked show in St Pauls next year with the best sound money can buy just to remind everybody just how great it can be.

By the way... am I the only one who really didn't vibe with Hype's MC last night? Jesus he was really pushing my buttons and kind of ruining all Hype's good work for me. Sigma and State of Mind were definately both on it last night though. The intensity of Sigma's set in particular really impressed me hey.

its funny how sometimes you just have a feeling..

i personally thought hype was average and daddy earl not the best either. fuck knows how he got no. 1 jock over andy & friction. they shit on him any night of the week. he played a pretty cheesed up set apart from his opening track. sigma had the place rockin and was scratching over heaps of rollin tunes. outrage was the set of the night for me. wicked selection from him. didnt hang around after the sound fucked up so didnt see som but a mate said the dude rinsed it.

word to that. sigma was rinsing it baaaad. outrage was shiyt n should have played after hype at the very least. 2 early for filth. pretty  dissappointed with the sound. was redy to leave when the sound first sound cut out during hype, but at least but at least he didnt crack the shits n refuse to play like alot of the interknobs would have.
sound was shit anyway. waaaaaaay 2 loud (prolly coz there all def cunts) put my fingers in my ears n sounded way better. daddy earl was ok. reminded me of GQ a lil.  big up blake for atleast trying 2 sort it out. state of mind were state of mind. plato as. meh.
got my drink on anyway so who gives a fuck really.
same shit diff day. plenty of booty getting about anyway so that makes up for a bit of it.
plus who was that knob on the stage when the system went down?  too   ooool.

p.s. spanky u dont have a say. wernt even there. 

sorry you had one bad night out, but seriously stfu

Did Hype rock out the broken green rekkid?

had a good night at this sound issues aside. outrage smashed it, best set for me.

I'm sore about missing Outrage (set recorded?)

My mates and I were going to go for nostalgic reasons alone, ie. St Pauls and a Playtime event

but someone let me down :ahem: so my mates and I didn't go

Um ...where the fuck have you been for the past 15 years?

Mogur, you're my hero

Theres been heaps of absolutely rocking parties over here with less than half of your attendance numbers.
It's not the size of the ship that matters, its the motion of the ocean.


There have been many great parties at St Pauls over the years, with internationals and class galore.


When you were allowed to smoke inside, heaps of DJ's smoked. Was it not about the music for them?

I know. I met some guy visiting from Perth at the gig. I'm guessing he's the one because seriously his comments don't gel with coming from anyone who lives in SA. I mean what a joke. "Well done for the promoters bringing a DJ over to inject culture in SA".... must be a new thing, the promoters just started last weekend, haha.  

 

yeah.. ive been sitting at home on the weekends for the last 10 years.....

hear hear!!!!!!! *thumbs up*

i noticed the new smoking laws didn't stop a few people from lighting up though... wonder if anyone got fined

 
Sound aside, what did Hype play?

Horrible Tru Playaz wobble or something decent?
 

      Tru Playaz wobble is decent.....infact its well wikid..... long live the wobble sound..

hehe not me. thought it was my right when the system went out....
hype was sick monkey. alot of dubs n shit i havnt heard b4 chucked in with a couple oldies.
least he stuck around to finish his set.

i could watch your avatar all day.

I have some videos of the night if anyones interested...

I did hear there were sound problems but I didn't go to this event so I cant say much in regards to it...

But maybe you should investigate even just a little bit before you put the whole state down by saying "If this is what SA has to offer Internation DJs .. pls turn them away."

Everyone from SA I am sure has had some awesome memory of St Pauls from an event. Its just a pity you were there on a bad night...

Well all in all I had a good time, i don't really remember too much except the fact that I was paro and screaming at people and scaring them. I think at one point I was screaming at Lexy that we have a connection. bahahahaha " i feel so connected to you matey"
 

fuk I'm a loosy

Nothing much different from any other night 

yeh it was a shame about the sound fucking up, I did feel bad for blakey stressing, but I thought it was kinda cool that people were chanting DJ hype gimme the funk. I was feel pretty paro and nostalgic at that point thou and to be honest I dont remember shit about the sets either  hahahaha

damn straight. still shat on andys style, due to the fact i didnt know half of the tunes which is what i ACTUALLY go out for. not shit that has been thrashed and thrashed. i.e. not predictable.

plus the non smoking rule is shit. all i could smell was bad bad body oader and filthy meth farts. you people discust me. bring back the smoking in clubs. if not for the smokers, do it to cover the filthy stench.

Wobble sux !

There i said it......

most of you didnt mind it when it came back after a few yrs.
sub focus, bassline smith .ect
alot of it now is just worse with shitty horns as samples.

      Don't tell me what to do.....
      And who the fuck are you.....
      Don't tell me what to play.....
      I'll say what i will say.....

                                                 WOBBLE WOBBLE
       

Please dont use a completely non wobble Concord Dawn tune to defend wobble.

You should be ashamed.

 

I was thinking the same thing...

  wobble so does NOT suck!!!

nah it BLOWS 

AND I AGREE WITH THAT

A couple of times i walked through some fukn disgusting fart smells. A bunch of us girls were walking up the stairs and we had to walk through a cloud of stank gas past a group of boys. Fkn repulsive! it reeked!

We were all saying to the other "who the fuk did that thats fkn disgusting!"

Go take a crap or go outside or fuk sake

grrr

   no not ashamed...... not even...... and i will use everything i have to fight off the slaying of wobble...
    how about we stop bickering about this and build a bridge...so we can all get over this argument..?


     WOBBLE 

Wat da fuck

 " WOBBLE  "


?????

 

Wobble equals fart sounds anyways

what a scratend.

girls farts are worse. 

ps. on the wobble, a fuckload of pendulum tunes have the wobble basslines and look how many people like there tunes.  not me personally.

wobbly farts killed Drum & Bass

 

Theres a double meaning there 

 
 

 
 NO no...... what is killing DnB in Adelaide..{in my humble opinion} is uneducated ramblings
                like the comment " wobbly farts killed Drum & Bass " maybe some people should
                sit back and listen to DnB for a few more years and then comment............
                personal taste is personal taste.. and we all know what we do/do not like to
                listen too.... each to their own........  lets all just move on with it .......
                  and hopefully make DnB stronger and better in Adelaide..yes..?

 
Misquoted!
Injustice!
Violated!

teh bans imo


 

  BRILLIANT.

  oh mercy


glad to have you onboard Griff
