=====================================================


So there you have it!! Those who have been before know the deal, those who are interested in getting a table organised with their friends better do so asap as there were some that missed out last year due to people taking their time or waiting for people to decide if they were going or not. Each table must be full so make sure all deposits are paid before the event or you will lose your table. It is much easier for one person to take charge of their table for arrangements and paying etc.

This is ALWAYS an excellent night with plenty of afterparty shennannigans so if your ineterested in going this year.. get on the case now because THIS ALWAYS SELLS OUT!!

Fucking bring it. Last year was insane.. and i can see this year being even bigger.

Does the $70 include booze (i.e wine and beer) like last year? or just the entry and meal?

actually a pretty good night out! went a few years ago wen it was at the woolshed, quality entertainment

i know K2, and i've been asking for him to give me one of his breaks sets now for years... his not the type of dj who talks himself up and cos of this maybe you've over looked him in the past.

1. Most Popular up and coming DJ - Steve Hart 9. Most popular Urban/RnB DJ - FBI 10. Most popular Breaks DJ - K2 12. Most popular Groove DJ - Troy J Bean 13. Most popular Dance DJ - RMAC 25. Most popular MC - Jules 30. Most popular DJ overall - RMAC hall of fame diller jet armstrong & Noddy

These are the people who I really feel for after last night. People that had great years and worked hard to win their first ever award. But the opportunity to accept it, and be recognised as the most popular in their catagory was taken away from them.

As dodgy as the awards can be, I dont think anyone who has one will forget the first time their name was read out and they walked on to the stage in front of the entire industry.

Not to mention every other DJ that missed out on the chance to accept another award for all their hard work.

All of these people deserve so much better than this and no matter what happens from here (wether there is a presentation elsewhere or something) it simply wont come close to compensating for what they missed out on.

i can definitely vouch for that
having our name called our when we won and actually being recognised in the industry for the work we have put in gives you a tingle thats for sure

Spot on Josh.

K2 is Karl. Hes a young fella and has been mixing for a few years now. Ive known him for about 4 or 5 years. Trashy I used to book K2 for my old Saturdays at Devine @ Soda along with Cheeky B and ATB. So yeah you missed out!!!!!!!

If youve seen Summer EF 2002 dvd I think it is hes one of the first DJ's shown mixing.

Ill also add, BIG UPS TO CHANNEL 10 for the way theyre reporting all this.

There has been nothing negative portrayed about the awards night, the rave scene and there is none of the typical drug rant that the media usually try and associate with this industry.

Everything so far has actually made the awards & industry in general come across as a well organised and professional industry which is really good to see. I also am pleased the footage was made available to them. If people hadnt seen that they would only have media reports to go on. The video shows a few things being thrown, a fight, a few worried looking people and that crazy mean looking dude on the left hand side. It looks bad enough but its nothing over the top. Without that footage most people would have had visions of some crazy fucking gun fight with people running for their lives and all sorts of other chaos. The footage basically prevents the media from making up their own series of events which is a good thing imo.

And anyhow, only one group of people are being made to look bad in all of this and afaic, they deserve every bit of bad publicity they get.

i heard it all started cos you and driller over the hall of fame award.

i'm sure i heard you two yelling

"The award will be mine" driller
"There can be only one" noddy
"then bring it bitch" driller
table crashes and the fight breaks out.

I was more concerned about Driller trying to convince everyone to get naked or something. Im still scarred from the last time he suggested that at a DMA after party a few years back.

I reckon he was just given it so the hall of fame recipiant and other award winners werent dissed in his Onion column like they have been every other year.

yeh i was thinking that before...media tends to twist the fuck out of things, but with this footage they cant...even the other channels didnt say anything about the 'dance/rave scene' having to do anything with it, all fingers seemed to have be pointed at bikie wars so what ever they tried to achieve, they fucked up...hmmm i wonder if any bikies involed in that shit are reading any of this...

no one owns the rights to the south australian dance music awards...do they? im not sure!!

misinforming the public.

BIKIE GANG
WAR AT
RAVE AWARDS
By MATT WILLIAMS, CARLA CARUSO and RHIANNON HOYLE
25may05
MEMBERS of a prominent bikie gang are believed responsible for gatecrashing a black-tie function and firing a gun into the air, sparking chaos at the West Lakes event.

Up to seven people forced their way into the AAMI Stadium Park Convention Centre during the ninth annual SA Dance Music Awards on Monday night.
Seconds later, a gun was fired, sending panicked guests to the floor.
Police said it was unclear why the intruders had stormed into the function, smashed tables and chairs, and fired a shot in a room filled with 600 people.
A police source said Hells Angels and Rebels bikie gang members were attending the function as guests.
Comments posted on the "rave adelaide" website by members of the local dance community blamed the Rebels for starting the fight.
"The bikies brought their pathetic issues into the room," one witness wrote on the website.
"Chairs thrown, baseball bats produced, guns fired, all inside the venue.
"A lot of people in the room were visibly upset and affected by what happened and it isn't good enough."
Others at the awards night also told The Advertiser bikies were involved.
The scuffle broke out shortly after the Hilltop Hoods left the stage with an award for most popular live act. The Hoods were not involved in any way with the fight.
Police found three live bullet shells and two spent cartridges inside the centre.
"We don't know who the persons who gatecrashed the party were," Chief-Inspector Brian Smith said.
The awards were called off after the gun shot was heard.
Chf-Insp Smith said Operation Avatar – the police section which deals with bikie activity – had not been asked to help in the investigation.
He said police were hoping to speak to all sponsors of the event, which included a "number of nightclubs".
"I would hope that this is not an ongoing inquiry and we're hoping to come to a definite conclusion in a short time," he said.
SANFL chief executive Leigh Whicker said the management team at the function "took immediate action and called the police".
"They made the decision to close the function down, which was agreed upon by all present," he said.
Mr Whicker said there were six security guards employed on the night.
"Four of those are the SANFL's professional security organisation and two others were supplied by the people that booked the function," he said. He defended the actions of the security guards in allowing the gatecrashers to gain access to the centre.
"It is a no-smoking venue and there were some 200 people out by the door so the (gatecrashers) obviously got through fairly quickly and after the altercation they left as quick as what they entered it," he said.
DJ Driller Jet Armstrong, who was up for a lifetime achievement award, was at the ceremony. "It was like a tsunami in the middle of the event of 600 people," Driller said. "A table went over, I saw a chair thrown and heard what I thought was a gunshot."
DJ Josh, who was a co-host, blamed gatecrashers.
"A table was turned over and it got a bit hairy," she said.
"The lights went up and (the people involved in the fighting) got dragged outside."
The rest of the awards were read out on air at Fresh FM later that night, rather than at the ceremony.
DJ Josh said she had been to every dance music awards ceremony since its inception and in the past the occasion had been "pretty much incident-free".
Fresh FM station manager Troy Sincock, who was also at the awards ceremony, said the incident was "disheartening".
"The whole awards night was a celebration of Adelaide's youth in this particular industry," he said.
"It is a great disappointment that this is going to impact on how the older generations perceive youth."
One man broke his leg when he fell down a flight of stairs in the rush to flee the centre.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and was last night in a stable condition.
Event organiser and director of 618 Records Tony Caraccia was unavailable to comment yesterday.

until all the shit i had a really good time.

big up patchy and mark on their wins as well as ra itself

that highlight reel of '04 was just a piece of shit though. a little bit one sided. even it out please.

RAVE awards ???????

Dance music Awards I think they are called!!!!!
Last time I checked anyway.

That should help the rave scene a great deal more...NOT

fucking media.

yeah for fuck sake - like DANCE MUSIC AWARDS not fucken rave awards...

Rave Awards my arse!

Maybe it's "Rave Adelaide's" fault for winning that award.. YOU DICKHEADS!

I retract my previous statement about the Advertiser. Front page of this morning's paper:

"Gang War at Rave Awards"

Didn't take em long, did it? I haven't read the article, just saw someone on the train this morning with the paper & saw the headline! And ooh look the story's online too:
http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/commo...255E910,00.html

Just as well - i wouldn't buy a paper to read it - I wouldn't even wipe my arse with the front page of this morning's paper - my arse deserves better!

im pretty disappointed actually
the advertiser states that some members from RA blamed the a particular group for the incident

AT NO STAGE WHATSOEVER DID ANYONE FROM RA POST THE NAME OF ANY SPECIFIC GROUP!

fucked!

All of the above really, in particular RA. Just look at the online list and see how many "guests" are reading this thread!

I noticed there were heaps of guests !!

what an absolute stormer of a night.. so much fun!! all until the fights but hey... eeep not so good throwing up halfway through your exam the monring after but non the less i made it through.. ha!
congratulations to everyone who won awards on the night!!
ha.. my sister was like i think i jsut saw you on tv... work i promise i was home sick in bed!
cargo's rocked it afterwards pitty i was sent home with being a bit under the weather..
from where i was managed to see all of it but there is no need really to go into it..
hope everyone who got even slightly injured in all the raucous turned out to be minor in the morning.
and everyone had a heaps good rest of their nights.. was reall good to see everyone looking so good in their dresses and suits.. and to catch up with so many people i dont get to see often enough!
oh and another thankyou to the people who orgnised it all.. was very very impressed with the venue, set up, service and all the rest... was a top night!!

definitely report it to media watch!!

Nothing short of a full retraction from the Advertiser should be expected for these lies

Hes a young fella and has been mixing for a few years now. Ive known him for about 4 or 5 years. Trashy I used to book K2 for my old Saturdays at Devine @ Soda along with Cheeky B and ATB. So yeah you missed out!!!!!!! If youve seen Summer EF 2002 dvd I think it is hes one of the first DJ's shown mixing.

ahh sweet, well seeing as i have only been out since early 2004 in adelaide i must have missed him by a long shot!!! so where is he playing out in adelaide?? i wanna see the most popular breaks dj of 2005 in action!

formal - written - appology!

Have experience in this - happy to assist.

best get out now before legal proceedings folow...

The article states this...

Comments posted on the "rave adelaide" website by members of the local dance community blamed the Rebels for starting the fight.

"The bikies brought their pathetic issues into the room," one witness wrote on the website.

"Chairs thrown, baseball bats produced, guns fired, all inside the venue.

"A lot of people in the room were visibly upset and affected by what happened and it isn't good enough."



And where did anyone mentioned certain bikie gangswith those comments you stupid retarded reporters? I actually had some praise for once for the coverage on the story yesterday, but after seeing this article in todays paper witth first it saying it was "RAVE AWARDS" when it's the "DANCE MUSIC AWARDS".. then to make up bullshit about people saying things on this site that are clearly not there!!

This is for you advertiser...

ok... a micro point of view would be this... if one person hires another person to film something that they knew was just for them, what give a 3 person the right to go and sell that to a 4 person.... that one reason why i'm pissed...

maybe security should have searched everyone for cameras on the way in.

that natasha thiele chica who was interviewed on channel 10 was sitting at my table! we couldnt hear or see shit! oh well. woulda thought we didnt have much to say about the incident cause we werent very proximal...

seek legal advice RA MODS but did we really expect anything else from the media?

report it jj and RA lets do it get a front page appolgie from the advertiser

just think of how popular this site is going to get!

"for every downside there is always an up side" just like newtons law of pysics.

I'd say so... I've got all channels news services recorded as mpeg.. Just gota cut them down. Interesting about Channel 7 having the snippet from Fresh. M.

Hey megabyte any chance of you putting them online somewhere? I was at work and didn't get to see the Channel 10 report, saw the 9 one.

Since people are saying it had the best coverage I would like to see it!

There is a letter to the editor link on the main advertiser page.

Perhaps Spadge or someone from RA can write a letter clarifying some points made in the paper. I'm expecting a call from my mum tonight telling me abou t this as she knows I post on here a bit.

The article doesnt really refer to any "ravers" being involved but the headline certainly suggests that the "bikies" are affiliated with raves. I'm not really sure the message this will be sending to the general public.

Also the quote from DJ Josh "pretty much incident-free". implies that previous events had "incidents"...

Mr S: thanks to that post, now they ARE on this website for anyone that goes to the search engine & searches phrases like that.

I was going to tell media watch to search the RA website for those phrases because they won't find them - well they will now won't they!

That's why i only posted the link and NOT the full article! Could you please consider deleting or editing that post?

We don't any guests who do searches on the forums getting the wrong idea now, do we?

get some legal advice first. then let them know you have gotton some, they won't after that.

their story is pure sensationalism based on heresay and bullshit.

you can get them for defamation i reckon.

How?

RA has not been defamed by the paper. 618 and its agents perhaps, but not RA.

Yeah good advertising JJ


Still the whole front page headline is

misleading statements are a form of defamation. they are putting words into our mouths.

hey media heres a head line


all raver use suppositories !!


mmmmmmmmm plug it

to be honest, i don't really give a shit about what bikies do or what not.

i care more about our scene and culture coming under constant scrutiny from the media for really doing nothing wrong.

the front page of the advertiser will be read by the majority of the people in this state who will put it down to the whole scene being dangerous, not just a fight between whoever over whatever, and like it or not, people believe what they read.

society as a whole thinks we are bad people any way no matter what so who cares.

if you (ravers) dont like being labled well fuck off out of then scene and go join a chess club.

i know a couple of good ones if anyone wants to know.

ok... to put an end to all this I invite you all to next years replacement event. The MAYDAY DANCE MUSIC AWARDS (MDMA).

We will be holding similar awards for all classifications, but replacing the Hall of fame, we will have the Maydays Extreme Talent Herald (METH) to recognise lifelong devition to the industry. To prevent violence, I will be initiating the NOS (No Objectionals System) to prevent undesirables from entering.

All guests and award winners will be required to sign a disclaimer script so to prevent legal action from occurring later, this is the Personal Indemnity Legal & Libel Script (PILLS).

This has all been approved by the Dance & Rave Union Guild of South australia (DRUGS).


These methods have proved successful at previous events, including shouting the names of these policies at team systo cricket matches 4 or so years ago.

This from abc.net.au this morning


Last Update: Tuesday, May 24, 2005. 8:09pm (AEST)
Police seek video of music awards altercation
Port Adelaide police are urging anyone with video footage of the South Australian Dance Music Awards on Monday night to contact them after shots were reportedly fired at the ceremony.

Police say that just after 10:00pm ACST last night a group of men gatecrashed the awards night at Football Park, approached a table and started a fight.

There were then reports of gun shots being fired and police have confirmed ammunition was found inside the building.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Smith says without video surveillance inside the function centre, he is asking any of the 600 people at the ceremony for help.

"We're hoping some of those people had some sort of camera or video footage. We're looking for any assistance from them in relation that may help us or the person involved in the altercation," he said.

The police say at this stage that the incident is not being treated as gang-related.

DJ Josh, who was hosting the event, says next year's awards night is now in doubt

He says many people are disappointed about how the incident has affected the public profile of the local industry.

"The rave scene takes a lot of beating and so does the club scene, a lot, because there's a lot of people in there that do do things wrong," he said.

"There's a lot of people in there that derive an income, this is their life, this is what they love to do, so it's really put a dampener and a bitter pill in everyone's mouth."

YEAH LETS KEEP DRAGGING IT OUT!!!!!!

BOOOOORING!!!!!!!

Its a shame about what happened, a lot of booze left untouched and a lot of yummy dessert not eaten but hey, what can you do?
As for The Advertiser and the media in general, they can just suck my wang. Has anyone called them up and made a complaint? RA definately deserves a retraction.
Oh yeah and CONGRATULATIONS RA ON WINNING AN AWARD!!! We rock!

Anybody putting any pix up?

IMO and in respect to the 2 possibly 3 people involved in handing over the footage i find you extremely disrespectful to Tony and Yancey. If the footage was to be sold or whatever it should have been viewed firstly and authorised by the people at the top of the chain of command. Did you speak to anyof these guys / you empoloyer? NO. It was NOT your decission to make. I'm not supporting yes or no to handing it over (for a personal profit) but the way you guys went about it is completely wrong.

haha, I saw Ray, Kym, Anna, Grandma and Emma on the news!

I had a tops night despite a MAJOR wardrobe malfunction, and the obvious bikies going nuts. Although, I was in the toilets when it happened... I bloody missed it all!
I wonder what the actual reason for the fracas was?

Probably Lucas ..... he is our leader of course ... he knows all. He was more than just there, he saved the day with his kung fu karate moves.

'A bikie was seen later heading to the club rooms on a pink vespa scooter and silver sparkly helmet. When the police pulled the extremely irrate and vocal individual over it was the one and only Driller who was very pissed off that he was unable to accept his award. He was taken into custody and charged with carrying excessive amounts of glow sticks'.

It appears Channel Seven are still on the prowl for further information, maybe they might link the DMA's to Graham Kennedys death, he was on "MEDICATION".

Well, its looks like the Advertiser strikes again. And thoe mysterious witnesses who dont want to be named who always manage to say exactly what the Advertiser wants them to.

I think that article shows that releasing the footage was a good thing.

Channel 10 had the footage and put across an honest and accurate representation of the event.
Advertiser didnt have footage (couldnt use it anyway) so they get to make up what they want. Problem is, if the footage wasnt made public, there would be a lot of people who believe what is written.

Lets fix the biggest disappointment of the night right now:

CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 to 25 minutes. Oven temperature: 350 degrees. Serves: 15. (One 9 x 13 inch cake.)

1 c. butter
1/2 c. cocoa
2 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts
2 c. marshmallows

FROSTING:

1 c. butter
1/3 c. milk
1/4 c. cocoa
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Dash of salt

1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add cocoa, sugar and eggs, beating well.

2. Add flour, salt, vanilla and chopped nuts, making sure all is well beaten.

3. Pour into 9 x 13 inch greased pan.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until cake no longer sticks to toothpick when tested.

5. Cover with marshmallows immediately after removing from oven.

6. Immediately begin frosting. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, milk and cocoa, mixing well, until mixture is smooth.

7. Beat in sugar, vanilla and salt until creamy.

8. Pour on cake while warm. Frosting will soak into cake and some marshmallows will be visible.

Exactly. They always put on a very professional event that as is always one of the highlights of the year.

Is it possible for certain groups to be banned from the awards though? Because I know a lot of people wont consider going again if certain people are going to be there and the chance of anything like this happening again is about.

How totally fucked is it that what your saying is the only option if the awards are to happen again. Metal detectors, police presence etc...... Its a bloody sad state of affairs when the actions of some lowlifes make this a reality.

and now for something completely different when i arrived, i was certain the theme of the night amoung the females was 'breasts'. never have i been so surrounded by such displays of wonderous breasts in all their glorious shapes and sizes. mmmm

ooh yeah boobs ahoy!! i was so proud to be able to flash my own rack with the best adelaide has to offer! i musta been on one of the boobalicious tables too

I didn't make it to the event, wish that I had, but now prob not. Just watched the Channel 10 news report where they clearly show a RA discussion thread and quote a member as saying that the people involved were bikies. To which post are they quoting? Who wrote it? Is it confirmed that they were bikies, and if so, why are the news stations saying that it still cannot be confirmed?

look in the thread for the news reports and see for yourself.

Ive just been told that the police are about to hold a press conference where the nightclubs and bikie groups associated with them, plus those who were involved in the incident, will be named.

That will makes things very interesting. At least then people wont need to skirt around the issues and can actually speak of the incident using the names of those responsible.

Unless you want to give them back the food and alcohol you consumed on the evening.

The whole fact of the matter was we were evicted against our will and didn't get what we paid for. It's not like I left because I wanted to. I understand that it's not the fault of the promoter or AAMI, however we should be entitled to a part refund.

Charge the bill to those involved through victims of crime!

There are always going to be people in life that think if their put out or dont get exactly what they want, someone else should compensate them.

Life aint fair - accept it!

I was having the time of my life before all the crap went down. All I'm saying is morally it should be offered as people didn't get exactly what they paid for. If the patrons want to take it they can, those who don't want to don't have to.

I don't understand how people can think it's rude to ask for what you should be entitled too. Like I said, charge it to the dickheads that fucked up the event!

Metal detectors and Police attendance will probably be neccessary from now on. Exactly. They always put on a very professional event that as is always one of the highlights of the year. Is it possible for certain groups to be banned from the awards though? Because I know a lot of people wont consider going again if certain people are going to be there and the chance of anything like this happening again is about. How totally fucked is it that what your saying is the only option if the awards are to happen again. Metal detectors, police presence etc...... Its a bloody sad state of affairs when the actions of some lowlifes make this a reality.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is we all support these people week in week out buy handing over our cash and or performing at their venues...... what can we do about them? Not a damn thing cause in return they pay our ways.

Big up tony and sasha..... venue looked fantastic and everything was running beautifully, such a shame!

ray - poor form dude, fair enough if it was a work dinner or something.

but support those who support your scene dude - the people selling records to our dj`s, the dj`s playing at our clubs, the promoters helping all of the above, big circle but as a community - now is when we help each other out.

Put urselves in Tony`s shoes mate - headfuks from media, the venue, feeling bad for those who couldnt accept the award, the stress and annoyance of most of the effort gone to waste would be just the tip. AND trying to run a shop.

support it.

Raver 1 you are a knob!!!
So, if you were at a rave for example, and at 3 in the morning say a car went thru at red light and smashed into the building hitting some people and the rave was shut down because of that. You would want a refund on your ticket?

QUOTE (Raver1 @ May 25 2005, 02:41 PM)

This is my point, nothing in life if completely 100% controllable or predictable. The law takes this into account and leaves you no leg to stand on. So long as the promoters of this event went to reasonable efforts to ensure you were likely to get what you paid for, they cant be held responsible for events out of their control.

If you order a steak meal, then someone knocks it on the floor as they walk past, the provider of that meal is not responsible to replace it. Same applies to this evet: its called buyer beware.

QUOTE (Mayday @ May 25 2005, 02:23 PM)

look in the thread for the news reports and see for yourself.

....back to my question, why was it naturally assumed that it was bikies involved at that early point, when the news stations and police could not confirm it. Did the peson who put up the post know they were bikies? Did he/she know the perpetrators personally? If not, isnt it unfair to blame these groups without evidence??

Most people in the industry know who the bikies are and the groups theyre associated with. Its hardly a big secret. And everyone at the awards saw with their own eyes that it was these people who were involved in the incident.

There were no assumptions - everyone saw who was involved and know who they are associated with.

the only thing i have a problem wit is RMAC winning the award PPPPFFFFFFFT

so u think the guys that busted their chops putting on a superbly organised event that was disrupted by events out of their control should offer to refund $42000 worth of tickets out of moral obligation? pfffffft.

I just hope they manage to be able to hold the event again next year. After this they are going to have serious trouble securing a venue that will take it, last thing they need is a massive financial loss to boot.

That's a completely fucked up thing to even ask because it is a totally different situation but yes the offer should be made. If I were the organiser I'd reschedule the event and give people the option to attend the rescheduled event, or get a refund on their ticket.

Of course my first concern would be if anyone got hurt....

I don't give a fuck about the money, I don't want the money, I wouldn't even take it if offered and yes you can quote me and keep me to that!

I just believe that somewhere down the line, someone fucked up and myself, nor my friends (who were fucking injured for something we didn't do) should be left without even the courtesy of the offer.

If it is impossible to reschedule the event, then yes the offer should be made.

And no, I'm not the only person who feels this way. Many people were saying the exact same thing on the night, the following day and so on. Perhaps I'm one of the few people with the balls to stand up for what I believe.

Some of my friends are actually badly traumatised by this incident and I believe a refund of their ticket is the least that can be offered!

Ray, I really don't get out how you can ask for a refund. The example Hugh gave is actually of the same sort of calibre. It was something completely unavoidable and also unpredictable. Plus you did manage to get your main meal, a fair few drinks (I am guessing) and an entree.
You also say that you wouldn't take back the money?? Why ask for it? Even if it is for others, let them ask it.
Or you could donate it to Red Cross...

i think he means so that we can see the groups etc being named from the press conference? I for one won't be home in time to watch the news tonight, so i'd also like to see it if MB is kind enough to record it

I didn't have the foresight (or time as i rushed out of the house this morning) to set tonight's news to record, otherwise i would be doing it.

*EDIT* I also agree with Noddy, Mr S, Slide, etc on the whole Raver1 thing. Seriously dude, it's obvious that you have NEVER put on a major event before otherwise would you would not be saying such things. I haven't either - but I totally agree with everyone else that has & is disagreeing with you.

Besides - what kind of "partial refund" do you think u'd get? $5 for a peice of mud cake? Com'on - even us accountants aren't THAT stingy!

I'd prefer to see jail time, myself. Won't happen though. Everyone knows this state is soft on crime. IIRC about 20 extra people have been put in jail since labour was elected, so we're real tough on crime, aren't we?

i know of people that got glass pieces in their leg. they aren't asking for their money back, they are just happy they are ok.

so should you and your friends.

I had a caeser salad with no poached egg, no anchove, the wrong kind of lettuce and aboout 2 bits of lettuce.

That was the real crime of the night!

front page of the 'tiser today. The headline is pretty unfortunate "GANG WARS AT RAVE AWARDS"

just by looking at that most of the general public will now associate gangs/bikies and raves together, even if it does explain further in article that the two aren't really related.

Are any of the promotors or who was involved in this shindig thought of doing a letter to the editor stating that this is no way related to the rave scene or whatever?

Well i'm sure that you are all sick of talking about something that now can do nothing about, so let's talk about something that maybe we can fix.

This years music awards in my eyes were the most rigged yet and days before the voting had finished people knew who had won. Why bother getting excited, and bringing along your friedns wqho spend hundreds on dresses, hair and everything to come to an awards night which is nothihng more than a joke.

Don't get me wrong the night is great for all of us to get together, but there has to be a point in which we actually make it credible and stop giving out frienship awards to be polically correct.

There are people out there doing great things and not getting recognized. Big ups to Tony for his efforts because the night was set up to be one of the best yet, but let's make an award something you earn. If i get shot down big deal and i ain't jealous because Rmac won my category and fuck he deserved it.

hmmm i can see where u are going there... i just voted in the INTHEMIX dj awards, and they require a confirmation of ur vote via ur email address to ensure noone does multiple votes! or makes it hard to, anyways...

no offence to k2 but winning best breaks dj....something suss there!

new york bar and grill chugs the cock.

what part does it play in the adelaide dance music scene? yeh - bout the same amount Church does.. zip.

---- who is in charge of the fascilitation of voting and compiling results? is it audited by a solicitor? or even someone of neutral grounds? possibly the commisioner for arts/music ? or a commitee of people - possibly those who have been induced into the hall of fame?

the rigging/dodgyness used to be ok, but its just far to favoured or suss now.

i have a few questions, ive read this thread for a while but havent gone into too much details,
one thing though theres someone wanting a ticket money back, personally i wouldnt worry about it, i think the claim to fame for being there during this debacle would be cool enough to brag to workmates etc etc haha

heres aquestion though, im asking those who know, were there 2 different clubs there? were they invited by the event as guests? and if so where were they seated? personally asking 2 rival clubs to attend the same event is disasterous! ive seen the mix of 2 clubs at raves in the past and seen were it goes, and generally the main arenas dont get to see what happens... other times youl see the clubbies hanging round but mostly only one club group....

ppl at my work asked how the hell bikie members would be invisted to an event like this, a few answers i came up with is "some clubs own certain venues others fund them and that sort of affiliation" now somebody on this forum came out with a clever comment about what he says on a public forum so yeah i wont say into details like what i did at work as to who owns and runs what....

but yeah theres my 2 cents, im interested as to what happens next, might have niteclub stuff coming thru the news now,

I had never heard of Double Happiness... What was it? Who played? Etc?
Rise getting best under 500... I guess a lot of people go there.
Best DJ RMAC? I don't agree with that. Mr S also plays a multitude of styles, and plays them well. Does RMAC have more mates than Jarrod?

I just saw the news again, yes the footage could be used to find out who did it, however it should have been GIVEN to the police first, not sold to the media.

One vote per category per phone number you mean. You can't fit every category in one SMS.

Lets see, 55c each by 30 odd categories.

$15 to vote.

Should pay for the rottweilers at next years awards

Why not? each category has an option of a-e for the nominees. Category 1 = first character in the sms, category 2 = the second and so on...

Send a message like acdeabb(etc) and it covers every category in one message.

thats why the awards were changed to "most popular" werent they?

just IMO i think that djon & skyver have achieved a little more success than audio beverage and should have been awarded the producer award. this may be my slight ignorance of other genre's, but i dont know if audio beverage have been signed and released tracks on an international label as have djon and skyver. again, IMO this would have deserved some recognition in their home state other than a mention at the beginning of preceedings.



this might be a little unfeasible, but how bout getting a smallish cross section of industry leaders (say 20-50) together and they talk through which of the nominees deserves the title.
- avoids the voting for mates by most people
- by getting them together to discuss the winners, avoids the people just voting for their mates without backing up their decision
- have members of this selection panel unable to vote on their own categories and step out of the room for the discussions
- see if the voting panel could be chaired by an independent party such as someone from the south aus arts association (or whatever there is similar)
- other such rules to avoid favouritism or popularity votes

it may take a morning or a whole day, but i dare say the people involved in the process would be happy to give up their time. part proceeds of the money for tickets to the event could got to lunch and a few drinks for them too.

Thats a bit of a brainless post isnt it?

Is the dance scene only drum&bass and hard dance or something? They play as big a role as anyone else in the scene. What, because you dont like them they shouldnt be part of the scene?

Why shouldnt Double Happiness get the award? It might not be my cup of tea but NYBG is one of the few venues around thats full every weekend. People should be more surprised that so many rave based people win awards as our market is a lot smaller than a lot of the others represented at the awards.

Also, just because we all like Mr.S and what he plays, we must remember that this is a popularity contest and I think its safe to say that Rmac plays to a lot more people than Jarrod does every week.

QUOTE (SiGO @ May 25 2005, 05:41 PM)

So you think he was talking about Rmac winning best dj overall ??
In relation to that , Russel has been working this scene for many years , as has Jarrod , I know both personally , so dont think im being biased in any way , either one in my eyes is # 1 as dj of the year , both hardworking , both play multiple styles and in many venues , and both will be here in this industry for many more years to come .

QUOTE (LightningChyld @ May 25 2005, 05:13 PM)

yes there was a big WTF there. Maybe it was first on the list and the people that had no idea who to vote for just put that one?

I guess at the end of the day unless you form some sort of 'panel' to decide awards then the results are going to be skewed towards the more commercial DJ's and events because it is just a popularity contest.

Its hard cos its all very subjective anyway

Also, just because we all like Mr.S and what he plays, we must remember that this is a popularity contest and I think its safe to say that Rmac plays to a lot more people than Jarrod does every week.

exactly!

And fair play to Russell for winning as he works hard and had done the yards for it.
I feel sorry for him, Noddy. and a few others that haven't won awards before and didn't get the chance to be presented with their awards on the night infront of the industry

actually i mentioned a few weeks ago that the awards should be voted by the industry only

just like a lot of sports awards are....

but whatever, who listens to good ideas anyway

im guessing it was a dodgy way for Channel 7 to actually use the footage seeing it wasnt directly from channel 10

ahh well technically the video isnt ours at all.... Megabyte hosted it on his own servers and posted the link

ppl at my work asked how the hell bikie members would be invisted to an event like this, a few answers i came up with is "some clubs own certain venues others fund them and that sort of affiliation" now somebody on this forum came out with a clever comment about what he says on a public forum so yeah i wont say into details like what i did at work as to who owns and runs what....

nail head he hit

i just wish it had some punctuation!

Davodinkum and 730 I reckon you to go have ya convo on PM or in person about who you think knows what unless you wanna be harrassed by the media. Oh theres also a good job going for you...Informant....all the best with that guys!

Money back in ticks GO CHUGG THE COCK you juniors. That is all on that one cos you fucking shit me to tears.

and can every one post one thing a day each cos ive been off line for 4 hours and theres 4 pages of stuff to read you bastards

i hope megabyte recorded the news again so all us office working ppl can see it

...and since i can see 808 online - i was wondering if anyone happened to record the whole event (audio only) direct from the mixer? If so, possible to get it hosted on RA?

Even if it was only Windows Media 64kbps 44khtz that would be fine just so all of us, who couldn't be there in person, can hear the whole awards show?

There is a letter to the editor link on the main advertiser page. Perhaps Spadge or someone from RA can write a letter clarifying some points made in the paper. I'm expecting a call from my mum tonight telling me abou t this as she knows I post on here a bit.

Why should Spadge write a letter? Whats he got to do with anything? Why dont you write the letter seems ya so cut up about it.

Advertiser make all their shit up. you should know that.

Oldies are always gonna associate raves with drugs. no matter how much you tell your mum its not like that!

if you cant handle that then get outta the scene. When we are oldies im sure we wouldnt want our kids "raving" either.

Fresh didn't air it all actually, since they could only get one 14.4kbps connection at the venue, instead of the 4 ISDN lines they were promised.

So instead they had a DJ spinning tunes in the studio, just crossing over on that low end connection when a award worth broadcasting was on.

The little bit they did have "live" i had managed to record on the night but coz of a tidy little fuckup by yours truly, it's now all gone & so i don't have it either.

Maybe fresh/Megabyte have a copy on the PC that was connected to the phone line they can put up?

oh yeah i managed to turn on the ABC news half way thru their report tonight - it showed the police conference - the 2 bikie gangs AND the 2 nightclubs they are "associated with" (read: virtually running) were also named.

Agree with G__ & others on this - about time they were named out in the open & i hope it only has a negative effect on their respective businesses.
