More details and line up to be confirmed...

All djs to play on the storm system at this event are original dj's dating back from as early as 1999. All soundsystems supporting this event are or were close friends & partners in grime...Most of these system(s) are no longer active so now is the time to pay your respect, re live the past and make the best of this one off special occasion!!

S:T:O:R:M....

Formed in november1999 a birthday party in Oakley woods was soon transformed into regular parties across the uk.Originally known as ESMI the first Storm themed party was launched at the notorious Oakley barns which was at the time a huge success. It was this very location where storm met the kaos party crew and soon was to play a major part of the Moot secret parties organised by those mystery druids.
Over the years the parties went from strength to strength, from county to county upsetting locals but pleasing many that attended-making new friends and inspiring collectives within the scene.

Only now venturing out for special one off events the storm system still holds a high flag on the scene-gaining respect from major techno and hard dance producers in the music industry many of which at some point have a story to tell about a certain Storm party...

Ooops....

Formed in 1993, Ooops! sound system are Reading's original Junglist crew. From the free party scene, the guys came with different styles, dropping anything that could be and still is called Hardcore Jungle Tekno! The London Acid City scene didn't know what hit it when we started dropping the Junglist beats in late 93, but they soon cottoned onto our sound. Fun, freaky, seriously bassy and pure adrenaline fuelled DnB was our theme, and even though we had the hardcore and the Tekno DJs, it soon became apparent that we were a force to be reckoned with. Anti CJA marches in Reading, London and Hull soon followed, as we tried our best to protect the scene...but then again, the CJA never really stopped us! Arrested on our first ever trip out, and then busted and relocated at our first indoor attempt, the crew became no strangers to the old bill - even being known by name in the end...slots at Brighton Dance Parade, Reading West Festival and the Notting Hill Carnival came and went, as well as trips to Czechtek (96 & 97) and Dutchtek (2001). Liverpool rocked to our sound for three years, and then of course there is/was the Ridgeway, with and without Storm, Survival, Junk Chun 10, Enginearin, etc etc
From the underground to the overground, Ooops! became the premier supplier of sound, lighting and DJs in and around Reading - you couldn't attend an event without some form of Ooops! rig or crew there. Then we rattled the cage of legal shows, getting and holding Reading's first and so far only regular 6am dance licence...this meant we had to stop the illegal's in town - but the Boxing Club became nirvana for so many - proper sweat box, tearing rig, top class DJs and fab residents. Semi retired since 2004, Ooops! salute those crews who still rock the party, and feel very proud to bring the true underground sound to Birmingham.
