The bigger names in techno still get a good crowd though, but there's not enough info getting out to people about the 'not so big' names (which I'm trying to help change with contibutions to various things like inthemix.com.au - heehee...). The local scene is quite small but there for the right reasons and are really passionate about the music. Alot of people like it this way obviously... There's a few crews doing good things, and we had Swarm with Mr DAVE the Drummer at the end of last year and almost sold the venue out with about 550/600... reletively small but damn quality! :rambo:
Next week there's a night on called Rebirth, with a damn noice local line-up (me on 3 decks may not be nice however... hahaha.. ;) )... then the week after is a big commercial trance party that a few friends are playing at and waving the techno banner... the week after is Metrotech, always a solid night to play at... etc.. etc...
And I know that now most of this group of promoters are mates, it's looking pretty chiz... we're already planning a couple of joint nights for the next few months with some international guests which is exciting for moi :mashed:
As for where's best... I'm not getting into that :scratch: But Melb does have the reputation.. :gutted:
