After Mampi Swifts set at We Love Sounds (quite possibly the most awesome DnB set I ever saw)... I am pretty amped for this one. Ticket Snapped!

By the way guys... the Earlybird tickets from the RA online shop are selling rather quick
almost half the amount we have are gone already and they have only been up for 3 days

if you want a cheapie then jump in now because once the earlybirds are gone.... the price goes up up up!

I'll be back in a sec just gotta knock the top off.

I hope when I get to the UK I catch something near the quality of a show like that.

Hey guys, uptake on the earlybirds for Roni+Dynamite has been pretty fuckin good . Just so you all know, we'll keep all outlets stocked til we hit the 200 mark., then they have to go full price.

Venuetix
Inbound Records
Clinic 116
www.raveadelaide.com.au

And I can't wait for this keen as toi see Sub Focus
Friday night Block Party followed by this

So wheres the Saturday Session for the sketchiness going to be I'd say there wil be alot doing the double.

School boy if you look closer
Eclipse edited that post on June 28th this maybe when 'to be confirmed' got added.
If you read Adelaide Massive you will see what Dale had to say about it.

Still keen to see Roni & Dynamite.
Just Sub Focus as well would have been off the wall.

I wasn't really feeling Mampi's set and I was dead set ready for him to blow the roof off
I will say that the recording was better maybe the sound was bouncing off the walls on the night. Either that or I should have been front and centre.
I'm with Switch on this topic.

Refuse you always have the 411, hehe.

We're still locking up the support acts to Roni + Dynamite at the moment, Subfocus has a bit of a personal situation which may push him back to later in the year but the show is still months away so nothing is decided yet. A suitable replacement is already sussed. Just locked down a live and interstate support and there is more to come. We're planning a six hour run of interstate and overseas dnb for downstairs and will run contrasting styles of dnb upstairs as well all night. I wouldn't worry too much, lol. This is gonna be crazy...

EARLYBIRDS are half sold through everyone. Please snap them up as the remaining tix will all be $45 and they'll come into effect pretty soon I'd say.

Oh and one more thing, just flash your Roni Size ticket at all up and coming Eclipse shows for $5 off the doorprice. This includes...

Artificial Intelligence July 28 @ EARTH
Winter Breakdown July 29 Crown & Sceptre
Total Science Sat Aug 19 @ Crown & Sceptre
Dj Randall (uk) Finna (Melb) Saphire (Melb) @ TONIC Friday Aug 25

If you join up at the website www.eclipsetouring.net we'll be issuing member cards with discount priveleges to our first 500 regular members.

Hey everyone, just got the word from Spadge that the Roni Earlybirds have sold out on RA.... There is another small allotment being mailed in so snap them fast if you want em. That'll definately be it for $33 tix though. I'd give it a week til the price is up everywhere.

Venuetix are selling them and Inbound & Clinic 116 also have another small amount remaining.

Hey everyone, just gonna try to get some up to date bios going in this thread. Sorry we've been a little slack. Tickets will be full price in one week so snap the last of the $39 ones quick. We've actually just nudged over the halfway mark for our ticket sales. I love capacity shows full of smiling faces. This one is gonna rock...

TC1 (UK) Bio

Graham (TC1) and his production partner Ant (Stress Level) have burst on to the dnb scene in recent years with some solid dance floor releases that have really turned heads. TC1 started messing around with beats and samples from when he was at college and just hasn't looked back.

When asked what music inspires and influences him TC1 had this to say-
"In the earlier jungle days it was artists like Omni Trio, Roni Size, Die, Krust, Doc Scott, Hidden agenda all that definitely had an impact in terms of wanting to get involved in making the music. Inspiration for our own tunes is something different - it can come from going out, an idea popping into your head at a strange moment, a wicked sample you've found, or just what mood you're in at the time."

"And how does Graham feela about TC1 & Stress Level tunes receiving so very much support...
"Our tracks to date have received strong support with Fabio airing 9 of our tracks to date so far on his Radio 1 show, Grooverider has recently aired the XRS remix of "No Way back" on his Radio 1 show as well as our mix of Chris SU's "Satisfy". Our tracks have also received support from the likes of Bailey, Flight, Friction, Dbridge & L-Double (all on 1xtra) and club play on dub from the likes of - Goldie, Klute, Zinc, Calibre, Hidden Agenda, Artificial Intelligence, A-sides, Simon Bassline, Total science, High Contrast, LTJ Bukem, Brian G, Dj Lee and Storm to name a good few.

TC1 is still running the general management side of ‘Dispatch Recordings’. Releases lined up for early 2006 include material from Stress Level & TC1, Commix, XRS & Motive(Melb).


Dymanite MC (UK) Bio

The magnetic brilliance of front man Dynamite MC began developing with his childhood influences spanning early Motown, and reggae. Later drawn to fledgling hip hop and house clubs, by the time rave and drum & bass broke he was already deeply absorbed by the scene.

Initially harbouring ambitions to be a DJ, Dynamite discovered he couldn't afford early a set of turntables and opted for the next best thing. A natural on the mic, he was already a jobbing MC when he met Roni and Krust in a club in '93. Impressed by the way in which Dynamite captured the attention of the crowd, Size asked him to accompany some early DJ sets spreading the Full Cycle word and Dynamite rapidly became a regular with the Full Cycle DJs on their nocturnal turntable exploits. Immediately convincing as a front man, he slipped into the mix like a third turntable, hyping the crowds and elevating the already unique sonic experience with his lyrics and rhymes.

During his early years as an MC, Dynamite would meticulously plan his lyrics, often penning and practising them before hand, whilst these days he places more emphasis on freestyle performance which allows him to maintain the characteristic fluidity of his sets.

Though Dynamite only featured on the opening track of 1997's 'New Forms' album, 'Railing', he became an integral part of the Reprazent live experience, perfecting a dynamic live juxtaposition with singer Onallee. Having developed his style considerably, he headed the first 2 singles from Reprazent's In the Mode 'Who Told You' and 'Dirty Beats' as well as album tracks like 'Switchblade' and 'Snapshot'. He also guested on the Kamanchi track 'Hey DJ' for Die''s mix lp 'Through the Eyes'. These days Dynamite is known and loved well beyond the drum and bass scene and has also provided guest vocals for the Nextmen, Skitz, and Zinc on their own projects.

Signed to Talkin Loud as a solo artist in his own right, Dynamite MC started recording his debut album 'The World of Dynamite'. When Talkin Loud was closed down by Universal, Dynamite took the decision to finish the album and release it himself, forming his own label Strong Records for that very purpose. Whilst licensing the single 'Ride' to East-West, he maintained control over the album himself, striking a distribution deal with Vital and releasing it worldwide on June 14th.

The album is a landmark release from a vocalist from the Drum'n'Bass scene. Working with the cream of the D'n'B producers Roni Size (Gold, The Scene), Andy C (Hotness) and Marky and XRS (The Feeling), Dynamite was keen to bring out all his influences and spread out across the spectrum of UK dance and urban music. Key tracks include the hip-hop productions of Stone (Bubble) and Skitz (Mar-Val-Lous), the breaks sounds of Wookie (Choices) and Zinc (Topped Up) plus his own killer hip-hop production on Visions. Dynamite has also worked with two of the most respected fellow vocalists around fellow MC Skibadee on Over Here Now and Jamaica's man of the moment, dancehall MC Elephant Man on Pressure.

RONI SIZE (UK) Bio

Not really a dj that requires an introduction, Roni Size is one of the biggest names in dance music and head honcho of the much respected Reprezent crew. An amazing DJ, Roni is also known for his tight production work such as recording tracks for artists as diverse as Redman, Sonique, Beverley Knight and Cypress Hill alongside accomplishments such as composing the film scores for The Avengers and Blade 2. Remixes for the likes of U2 and Basement Jaxx that routinely become classics put Roni in a class of his own...

Here's some back story...

Roni started on the path of musical production when he was thrown out of school aged 16, but music had always been a part of his life. Roni was born and grew up at 'the top of the hill' a.k.a. St Andrew's, Bristol. From the bottom of this hill came the sounds of the 70s blues parties and sound-systems - the beat infected Roni's bones.

So, after being expelled he walked straight into Sefton Park basement project, which allowed youngsters to try their hand on the decks, the mixing desk, drum machines and samplers. Here he learned the basics and his brother's comprehensive collection of Studio One records gave him material to work with. After setting up a home studio and buying a sampler, a musical master of production was in the making.

Meeting up with Krust in the early 90s brought two musically compatible minds together, they faced the same dilemma of having no outlet for their music they put their energies into their own label. With the help of Chris Lewis Roni set up WTP (Where's The Party At?) record label as part of Circus Warp. From that Full Cycle and Dope Dragon were established in 1993.

Bryan Gee was an early admirer, holding on to their tapes whilst at work at RCA recordings. When in 1994 he set up V Recordings, Krust had V001 with Deceivers EP and Roni and Die had V002 with their debut release, Agility.

"We looked at V as the strong brother label, with Full Cycle the sister following in its footsteps... Over the years the two gelled, people associated V and Full Cycle together. Through putting a lot of music out on these two labels we then got noticed by another label, a major - Talkin' Loud."

Roni Size and Full Cycle were one of the first to bring the jazzy elements into the dark jungle of the early 90s. "We were using more melodies, more jazz orientated loops – sounds that in London only people like Bukem, or maybe Fabio or Peshay were using. But they were still using fat Amens where we were just using toned down breaks."

'It's a Jazz Thing' in 1994 sparked the interest of fellow experimental types James Lavelle and the Mo' Wax posse. Roni Size was picked up by Talkin' Loud and the compilation album Music Box (a fifty/fifty collaboration with Die) was released in 1996. Their varying personal influences helped create the unique Full Cycle sound.

"Suv was more dub, Die was more jazz, I was more ragga or bashment and Krust was definitely more hip-hop but we all had elements of soul and break beat in us, we all had graffiti stains on our hands, we all rode BMXs or skateboards. We all came from the same school - the school of the 80s and 90s. We've always tried to incorporate all those elements into our music. If we could put the sounds from spray can, the sounds from skateboards scraping along the road and of people falling off BMXs, in one record we would."

The following year the crew, now officially called 'Reprazent', took the world by storm with their New Forms LP. Winning the Mercury Music Prize boosted their international status and the world awoke to the sound of Roni Size and Full Cycle.

The singles from the album all featured the unmistakable vocals of Onalee whose call for the music in Brown Paper Bag is a signal all ravers still respond to. Heroes and Watching Windows are also classics.

The album went platinum and, surprised by their new massive fan Roni and the boys and returned to the studio. It's Jazzy came out on V Recordings later that same year.

1998 was a year of Dope Dragon tracks. These dance floor smashers were given an outlet through Dope Dragon but after this year it took a back seat to Full Cycle.

"The Dragon's gonna return… trust me," promises Roni.

In 1999 with Die, Roni produced the Breakbeat Era album featuring vocals from Lennie Laws and in July the following year his Through The Eyes compilation showcased tracks from newcomers D-Product and Surge.

Later that year came the long awaited second project from Reprazent. In the Mode delivered a variety of tracks, some featuring vocals from Dynamite, Onalee and some from collaborations with hip-hop legends Method Man and Zac de la Rocha and beat-box master Rahzel.

In 2001, Roni returned to the studio and started working with Tali who had recently arrived from New Zealand. In this time he also produced Touching Down - released in October 2002. This, his first truly solo album, is 16 brand new dance floor smashers mixed into one hour's set and includes the massive singles Playtime and Sound Advice.

In 2003 Roni put together a live show reminding the world of his Full Cycle's presence in the live arena. It featured some of his new tunes from forthcoming Return To V and remixes of old classics like Brown Paper Bag and Underneath the Moon.

DJ DIAMOND D (Perth) Bio

No stranger to Adelaide after supporting Andy C at Stardust Spring Sessions 2002 and returning again for Stardust in 2003, its been too long since Diamond D (Deon Melican) smashed it up in Adelaide.

Having been involved in the Perth Drum&Bass scene for over a decade, Diamond D began buying records back in 1990 and soon immersed himself in the newly emerging nights of breakbeat. It wasn't until ’97 Diamond D began to play in clubs however after some encouragement from fellow DJ’s Echioc and Greg Packer at what started as an extravagant birthday party at Players nightclub.

Since then Diamond D has become a major player in the Australian Drum and Bass scene with his DnB promotion company Loaded Dice responsible for bringing some of the finest global names to Australian shores.Diamond D has also held various club residencies, played at the legendary True Playaz night at Fabric Switzerland, started a record label , done a few tracks in the studio and hosted local radio show.

Diamond D makes regular visits around Australia as a solo dj and also has toured with DJ Fierce , Doc Scott & Justyce , Andy C & GQ , Fabio , Hype & MC Rage as well as playing alongside L.T.J Bukem , Grooverider , Roni Size and many more….

His style he describes as simply “rollin”. Once dubbed as one of Perth’s Darkest Muthas! His sound has now evolved and become more broader but always relishing the harder tip! As for the future for Diamond D of Down Under- “I hope to spend more time in the studio, put out some tunes and keep my genuine passion to push cutting edge music and foster the non-commercial dance scene in Perth..Australia.”
