[Hospital Records]

Some support dj's include
Well Being, Fiction, Noddy (back out of retirement for one final spin) + MC G-Swift

Friday Feb 15
Channel Function Complex
10pm-6am
High Contrast is touring as part of the Good Vibrations festival lineup and in support of his new album "Tough Guys Don't Dance".

First round tickets $35 +bf on sale this Friday.

This will be an intimate event with a strictly limited capacity to be held at the renovated Channel Function Complex (formerly Black Cat, 120 Gouger St).

FUCK YEAH!!!!

 

Yeah, w00t!!

 

i think to keep the fro theme going throughout aswell as wrec guy sebastion should be on the mic

Sweet, it's been a while since he's been over.

I'm sooooooooo keen for this!

Limited capacity? How limited? IMO, I reckon he'll pull a fair few people in to this show....

This will be awesome

Been waiting to see him again ever since he first turned my ears at Enchanted.
Can't fucking wait.

fuck yeah! never seen him live only listened to a few of his mixes but keen as. his 2 essential mixes are on high rotation in my car this summer, and always get a play when cruising to the beach, with girls etc

where can we get tickets from?

DAMN YOU DALE!

I'm flying in to Adelaide on Saturday morning...

sensational.

yeah bwoy! keen is an understatement.

love this mans tunes

change your flight j!

Sure sure, u mean dave

 

I was going to say the exact same thing

yeah him too
 

HC is always quality. cant wait

just bought me tix from eclipsetouring.net

cant wait for HC, one of my favs at the momento..!

I'm lookin forward to hearin some good beats in Gateway again... used to love gettin messy in there

Can't wait to see High Contrast, been hanging to see him ever since his set at Enchanted.

Ooh la la!! Sure hope this one can eventuate for me!!

Pretty curious what they've done to the place, too. When they changed it to Gateway they made some really good changes in there so with another name-change perhaps they've nicened it up again! Did the MTME crew buy it at some point in there?

I was in there a few weeks ago, and they haven't changed that much. IMO, just done things that need ed to be there before.
Example, adding a half height wall/ledge around the rear section to seperate the dancefloor from the seating area.
It's basically the same, but admittedly, I didn't hang around long enough to suss out many major changes to sound, etc.

They are in the process of doing some renovations at the moment.

$47 tix SUMMER BREAK are sold out everywhere so it's up to $57+bf for the home stretch.

Just take note it's still just $80+bf for the remaining 50 or so DnB Multipasses at venuetix and Inbound which means just $23 for High Contrast if you're smart enough to snap one of them =)

Dale

how long will earlybirds be on sale for still?

also you should create the thread for this on raveadelaide too don't think there is one?

I'll create the thread on Rave Adelaide soon. Just giving AM users a head start. With the multipasses we've already waxed there is only maybe 350 tickets left to this event and I want them to go to core DnB scene as much as possible. No plans to raise the price from $35 til at least after Calyx on Jan 18 so you've got a little time unless those 350 go quickly.

ooooo 


 

Will be grabbing mine next week!

Def not missing High Contrast!

Me either. Super excited about this

me three, woooooo!

me four!

so there 

Tix are at venuetix. Somehow the Clinic 116 and Inbound tickets have wound up at my place. I'll sort them soon.

Booking fee free tickets available at www.eclipsetouring.net

judging by the dnb crowds in perth, HC is gonna be phat for good vibes!

Just curious to know, I booked 4 tix from the eclipsetouring.net site before xmas and i still havnt received them.

Any idea how long to mail out takes?

Don't worry. They should be on their way out this week if they aren't already. My website administrator went away from Dec 28- Jan8 so everything kind of slipped through the cracks for a short period.

Feel free to contact adam@eclipsetouring.net if you're concerned and he'll sort it right away.

Thats cool mate, thanks for that. Looking forward to HC in a big way.

i went out with wrec on friday night and he's lookin forward to coming back over.
he was a lightweight tho, i got wrecd and he had a nice pom pom on his head

there was a little article about high contrast in the sunday mail. anyone else see it?

any idea around what time HC will take the stage and how long his set will be? i am going to something on at hq the same night and dont want to miss out on any internattys at either

the john farnham of the adelaide dnb scene?

id say hed be on at 11pm

 
 
 Do people really still need to ask that question?

brock out birthday boy smirko.

I'd say 1am is a safe estimation and we'll be getting HC to play "as long as possible" pretty much 

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this news but I thought you'd all find this rather amusing at any rate. Through a simple error of not updating credit card details, the automatic remewal for the www.eclipsetouring.net URL did not go through and whoever has snapped it up now has the URL diverting to AdultFriendFinder.com. On the bright side, I've been informed that Noddy and several others have found everything from true love to some nice booty in the last two days.

I'm thinking perhaps a new Eclipse slogan is in order.

Eclipse Touring- bringing people together, but not just at events...
Eclipse Touring- OR IS IT?

Regardless... for all Eclipse Touring news, reviews and interviews refer to our new URL which is ultimately probably better...

NOW... www.eclipsetouring.com

you're right here mate, it's your thread after all.

have moved the other post though into the dancefloor.

Thanks mate. If my website URL diverting to an adult site wasn't so amusing I may have thought to put it in dance floor. I found it to be rather random and banter worthy though, haha.

indeed. still though, you do want people to know your right address for future reference.

Can't wait for this now. Andy C has me well in the mood for some smooth badness. Tix are moving along well for this. Should be in for some nice capacity bizzness.

Fee free tickets mailed to your home from www.eclipsetouring.com for just $35.
$55 for the multipass which gets you into High Contrast + Nu:Tone + Cyantific.

I'm not going to worry about a second round presale price for High Contrast. Lets just sell this thing out and show people what they should really expect from a DnB event. We'll just do a reasonable price bump for any tickets remaining on the door to encourage presales in general.

This is my next thing to get excited about! woooooooo

Same! 

Me too. I spent Sunday on the HMAS Disco cruise drunkenly rambling to house/electro lovers that they have to give me this one event to change their minds and get them on to DnB. Strangely I've had several followup calls today so maybe I wasn't as drunk as I thought... No No, I was.

It's shaping up really well. The crew we're pulling in from other scenes are all heaps wicked people and the DnB heads I know just give me an "Are you kidding" look when I ask if they are coming. Should be a rockin show.

I am beside myself with excitement... yay yay yay yay yay 

You better still have some excitement in you when I get there the next morning!

 

I am beside myself beside you being beside yourself!

High Contrast

Why would you not fly in Friday night Hayley if you're coming over on the Saturday? It just makes no sense my dear. I will arrange free entry and a driver to meet you at the airport if you'll just come in a day earlier and join us. 

Yeah its 140 bucks to fly in Friday night, as opposed to 20 on Sat morning (and i was gonna go to Good vibes here)..kinda defeats the whole purpose of cheap tickets flying in friday..but free entry and a driver...welll maybe I should??  very nice of you.

I'm flying over for it...

Where's my free ticket???

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot il seeyas all tonight

About 150 presales left, plus another 100 being held for door sales so I'm hoping we'll cruise up to capacity without any need for panic and no one missing out. Definately still advise presales or early arrival though.

*sighs*  not gonna happen for me!

have a fucking great night everyone!!

 Gonna be sweet no seeing him at 2pm!

 Going to be epic.

 Sick DJ, sick tunes! Decent MC

 Booyah

hell yeah!

Set Times

10-11 Grossy
11-12 Well Being

+MC G-Swift


Are these still the set times Dale?

can't wait  Pretty keen to see what Grossy is gonna play aswell.

Really shouldn't read this thread!

Nessa I don't understand babe. I said you could have a ticket and do flyers on the next show. What's wrong? Would be great to have you there.

yeah!!!!

do come along!

I totally forgot about that! 

Well, I feel silly now! 

im with u guys, its a quiet(ish) nite for me !

(tho secretly looking forward to it!)

tnite will be fukin awesome! have fun everyone...

I'm going now 

same

got two tix for sale 50bucks pair please pm me thanks

good luck... at 10pm on the night of the gig i think you might have more luck out front of the venue.

so fucking tempting, but i am already drunk and have to start work at 8am

Sick sick sick night...definately one of the best 100% DnB nights I've been to.

Man I was drunk, HC rocked it..the crowd were awesome! 

I need rest.

 :sigh:

That was a wicked night. Minor issue with foldback for about 45 behind the scenes but it was hard to care when you're watching High Contrast while you work through it. Big up Blake for the extended set. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks to all who attended. There was just a wicked crowd out last night. I'm sick of hearing all this guff about the Dnb scene being in trouble. When nights come off, they're still the most amazing places to be in the world. Hopefully you can all make it back in 2 weeks time for Nu:Tone + Cyantific.

Dale

Had an awesome night, danced all of HC and was sweating my arse off. Hopefully stage 2 of reno's has some Aircon units coming in.
Only main complaint for the hole night was HC started 1 hour too late.
Fair enough it may have been due to sound issues but the last 30-60 minutes of his set the floor seemed to thin right out, and the vibe died a little.

I must say big ups to seeing John Doe behind the decks!
The extra time he played would have been hard cos everyone was ready for HC when his set was meant to finish but then he went for a extra 45 minutes, maybe the crowd peeked to early due to that I know I did.

Still not a big fan of the venue, seemed to be a mixed crowd. Either some old skool faces I don't know or a lot or fresh exposure.

And what was with the limited capacity??? that shit was like a sardine can, would have hated to see it hit a full sell out that would have been whack.

Strictly limited capacity refers to strictly adhering to the legal capacity of the venue even if people "really really" want to get inside or "know someone really really important". If you thought I was planning a 100 head private performance with a sit sown dinner, I do apologise.

Don't disagree on the set start time. I would have loved to get HC on 30 mins earlier while Blakes set was peaking but Wrec really didn't want to go on til the foldback was working properly. Really minor in the scheme of things though. Everyone still seemed to have a lot of fun and I enjoyed Blakes extended set anyway. He was rockin it last night

Had an excellent night, good to meet a few more peeps and catch up with a few I havent seen in awhile.

It was awesome to see the bar out on the balcony, I think thats where I spent most of my night to be honest. Though I dont think many people realised there was a bar out side.

Don't think I have seen a crowd that big at a show in a long time.

Nice work.

Oh and HC was awesome from what I heard on the balcony and saw when I was inside briefly.

Gonna have to get that balcony bar and barbie cranking for NuTone/Ctyantific in 2 weeks too. Was heaps nice

High Contrast smashed it! What an awesome show. Good to see the crowd was up for it, HC seemed to enjoy himself too. It's great watching a DJ who's enjoying emselves.

I thought the number of people was perfect. Enough for an electric atmosphere but not too squashy. Bar line ups weren't that bad either.

Bring on Nu:Tone!

Only complaint...he played the "wrong" remix of I Found U. I like his other one better.   

was a great show well done all crew. wellbeing and john doe were good too big ups .

wicked to see a large crowd.

Good times. Enjoyed playing V much.  Bigup John Doe, Grossy and Fiction too. Looked liked everyone was loving the dancefloor Contrast flavours. I'm w everyone else, really awesome to see that kinda crowd at a DnB show.

No need to be a smart arse
I would have thought that you'd always have to be 'strictly adhering to the legal capacity'

And I don't know about others but when I read 'intimate event with a strictly limited capacity' I'd be thinking you mean 10-15% less crew to make it something special for the lucky punters who got a ticket, or something along those lines. Rather than a full house meaning nothing different than usual.

After saying all that the floor was fine an hour in as a lot cleared out.

Don't let my rambles take away for what was still a good night, it was sick to see him again. But really would have been good to see HC any where!

Wah wah! Stop winging!


I had a fucking blast! Massive massive thankyous to Dale!!

I though High Contrast was awesome!  

Wicked night, rad people, great crowd!








P.S. I FOUND MY CAMERA! Apologies to anyone who witnessed my meltdown! 

so he saved adelaide dnb then

Good to hear the show went well.


 

It was dead until last night. 

wicked night but farrrrrk am i hungover
i thought i was supposed to get more responsible with age lol
anyone seen my car or records hahaha

me too.

 Awesome night!

 Great to see a packed club, a full dancefloor and awesome tunes.

 Thought Well Being and Blake rinsed it. Well done guys.

 

Been there. haha

awesome night, loved every minute of HC's set

Hooj night! wicked sets from everyone! Still recovering 

Bring on the Nu:tone/ Logistics boh!

well i was amped for this one, had my tix and everythang set to go...

then.... i had a neck pain which turned into a monster migrane - i couldnt even look the screen on my phone to txt ppl to let em know i could not move my head let alone my body in the slightest!!! 

the worst thang was, not just missing out on HC, but missing Hayley-bear! 

good to hear y'all had a great nite though!! 

 Agree with the first bit, Lincoln was awesome! As or good or maybe better than I'd hoped. local acts were killer to.  I really like wellbeings style and was good to see john doe banging out some D'n'B again as well.

Number of peeps was ok if everyone was spread out but it got pretty packed in there for a while.

haha
nah man, with age comes denial and an effort to prove

It was good to see so many heads out and in fine form. I really enjoyed Al's and Blakes sets and they were the highlight for me. Love the venue for dnb it works so well.

I thought it was shit*.

Shit* music. Shit* crowd. Shit* Night.


And when I say shit*, I mean SHIT HOT!!!


It was a fucking awesome night, I loved catching up with everyone, and it was good to hear High Contrast in person after such a long, long, wait. He'd better not do that again!

I think he's as good as Andy C. Different styles and level of skills obviously, but I love the short, sharp mixes high contrast does. It's always been my favourite mixing style to the longer wank techie style of mixing...

Sound could have been "punchier" - it felt like the bass was muted or something - but it's still better from all reports from Good Vibes

So, so glad I came over for it.... Blake and Well Being's set were also equally impressive.

Big ups all those I ran into... it's the one thing I miss about Adelaide being here in Melbourne - running into unexpected people at gigs (Such as both Solace's and Dom from the Nextmen)

 Agree about the sound.

 I said to a few people that it lacked punch. Maybe just not set up properly for dnb.

 That's my only complaint about the night. Had a ball 

my only complaint about the night is it took 40 hours to shake the hangover

fantastic night!  so glad i was able to go in the end!!

haven't seen that place that packed for about 2 years i reckon!!  was great to see!!

big ups to everyone i got to catch up with, was a rad rad night!!

and big ups to HC, go the welsh!!

 

That means you're getting old...

Only took me having a beer for breakfast to get over mine 

guilty as charged

was the air con working at all in there? was very hot

also how good was the balcony bar 

Great night, had a f'n great time.

I liked the club, was a great setup and the balcony was cool aswell.

Mr John Doe rinced it!!

HC was awesome!!

Bigs up to all the crew!

Loved every minute! Huge apologies for my drunken behaviour - by the end of the night I was unaccountable for it and have blank spots of what actually happened. 7 double blacks and however many yager shots that were bought for me from a certain someone later I was well hungover for the weekend 

Was great to see it packed - was great to have the cat back in its form - was a great night.

Big thanks to the special peeps who made it so - Al, Blake, Lexy, Weez, and any other lovelies I have forgotten due to the intoxication

Awesome night. High contrast was quality as was john doe. Man i was  but not as bad as the guy i saw fall down those stairs omg 

Regardless of any little problems along the way, there's no denying that it was an awesome night and an amazing party vibe with that many people inside.

I wish I got there early enough for the BBQ and also what time did Noddy play?

didn't think Noddy played? Kinda just assumed Blake filled in for him but could be wrong.

yep got a call about 8 or so to fill in for da nodster.. cheers to dale for asking, i had a ball playing

fukin awesome show, didnt wanna leave when i had too
but had a fukin ball, top show guys
