I definately think this year has had the most promising start,since i've been into techno. So many tasty events coming up, and i have heard about loads more on the big grape vine. Also its good to see djs like dave the drummer, chris liberator and obviously mark eg getting bookings at places like the emporium and hardcore heaven( i'm gonna get shot for this) It makes techno a bit more socialably acceptable(can i spell??!!!)
yeah i know wot u mean...start of the year is always shit for events. But ive seen an been told of a fair few that cant really b missed already!
i reckon it will be a big year all round. now that the majors have left dance music alone, and minimal might actually get some coverage in this country instead of just hard techno. that should put the word techno back into the publics heads once again
yup the year has started with a bang for ourselfs, ran our first night
for 2005 last sat ie JakN with residents...the place exploded with over
200 punters in a 350 capacity venue....bloody nice to see considering
everyone's normally skint this time of year...
rock on 2005!!!!
its 300 cap...and yes it started with a HUGE BANG.....place was aff the hook.Quote:

good luck to everyone in 2005!!

well I couldnt answer that ^^^
But...
here in New Zealand the first 5 weeks of 2005 is the best its been for techno in a looong time...
We got Carl Cox (tonight), Michael Mayer (next week) and most importantly Ben Sims two weeks later!!!
:cool:
i'd say its still pretty underground at the moment
not many parties have 1000+
loads of club nights going on tho,certainly say its getting a bit more popular/acceptable than a year or two back
comin for a stomp at antioworld on the 29th?Quote:

He say's that the whole "goth" scene is a load of bollocks because it's "fashionable" to be a part of.
The goth nights are really busy, but because it is fashion led no one actually buys the records.
i.e. proper shite for all who try to make that sort of music, so it could be a lot worse!
Lesson learned?
Keep it Underground!
