Arkaba Anthems @ Arkaba Hotel

arkaba anthems - friday august 26

Before superclubs like Heaven and Planet, there was a place many consider to be the birth place of the of dance music scene in Adelaide. The Arkaba, or Ark as most call it, is almost untouched since the days when legendary acts like Carl Cox, Lenny D, Westbam and Frank De Wulf played regularly.

Not content to bring the memories flooding back with tune after tune of anthems gold, this venue is a special place all on its own. For those that were there the first time, relive one of the most special eras in Adelaide’s dance music history, and for those that weren’t, come and take a history lesson with a difference!

Local legendary jocks Brendon, ATB, Madness, Andy J, MPK, Noddy, Mr S, Devious and H-Bomb taken us on a journey from the early house sounds, to banging classics and happy hard.

>>> Due to limited venue capacity, only 100 earlybird tickets will go on sale today for just $20. 1600 turned up to St Pauls, and the Ark only has room for 600 of the quickest old school lovers around. Be a part of the anthems vibe and grab your ticket here!

Bring it back to the days of reality...

Another wicked night !! cant wait!!

as one finishes, another one starts!

cant wait - so manywikid nights out coming up!

Tickets are on the fridge, hardly any room for bills there now

Gonna be a huge night , you see i went to the arkaba in the bad old days of disco and totally missed the dance music era that Paul has mentioned, saw many great bands of the day there and shared a spliff with JPY there and also a few bongs with Bob Dylan at the owners place after his concert at Apollo Stadium, i used to get into the arklaba as a 15 yo as a girl friend of mine was dating the owners son and i used to make the suppers that they had to serve to all patrons to allow them to serve booze past midnight.
One thing i do remember all too well was the fact that the total solid wooden construction of the top room was great for sound so if you havent ever been there before get along and hear the difference you will notice with the sound of you favorite old school tunes. Cant bloody wait for this night, its gonna be off the wall.

Im 43 and still like a wide eyed teenager when someone starts mixing up the tunes so i say im not too old for raving

Love Anthems.

Love the Arkaba.

Enough said.

There is just something about the ark isn't there? I mean the last show, as soon as you walked in, the vibe in the room pretty well hit in the face!

Can't wait!

QUOTE (Noddy @ Jul 20 2005, 06:15 PM)

It will be an over 25's night with a very strict dress code. I dont think too many people on here would actually get in!

ummmm it was just a location related thing..
plus if anthems is playing music from 90 to 92ish then the avarage age of any clubbers who loved it back then would match that age...(or even higher)

any way i was just pointing it out for the jayse fans..

But do you own any clothing that would be considered nice enough to getin?

if any one wants to give the ark a good thrashing before anthems... Venus, Adelaide SA July 28th Thursday 2005: Is the launch date for Adelaide’s most exciting new club, catering for the discerning clubber. possable night for the fans would be August 4 - Jayse.... it will be a weekly club. ps info ripped of some other site..

Do you mean possible or did you mean pose-able

Thursday? Gotta compete with Heaven for patrons...

The word Venus reminds me too much of that Bananarama song... I couldn't go back to somewhere that reminds me of being in year 3... big year for me

I dont think Heaven is exactly the hot spot on a Thursday it once was!

*this was a double up post - not sure how to remove so just editing it at this stage*

anyway back on thread.....

How early do you think the dance floor will be full at the Ark?

Given a 4am finish I'd like to be pumpin by 10pm.

Maybe they could lock the doors at 9pm?

As luck would have it, we managed to record all the sets in the main room, house room and some of recovery from the St Pauls show. MP3's of this will be given away soon.... more details soon

awesome. a chance to relive the night all over again and not be overly intoxicated. lol

It's actually rather funny that older patrons are calling up the Ark complaining about them getting rid of Time Warp - God fobid they might have to stay home with their kids on a Thursday AHAHAHAHAHAA!

Anyways, I reckon it will definitely be pumpin by 11 (10-10:30 was around the time I noticed an influx in numbers through the door, but by 12 I was on another planet - but that's another story)

Can't wait for my favourite event of the year!!!

Yeah - I miss my old under-cut hairstyle back in the day

don't forget the Anthems Movie night is tonight!

QUOTE

This time we will be screening ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ from 8:30pm on Friday July 22. It is about Thompson and his crazed, Samoan lawyer in search of the American Dream, fuelled by the massive amount of drugs they purchased with an advancement of cash. They set out in the Red Shark encountering police, reporters, gamblers, racers and hitchhikers. The results are not only disturbing, but hilarious. A must see for all ravers! If you haven't already seen it, you would've heard about it!! So come down to Tonic,63 Light Square, Adelaide and prepare to be enlightened.

hope to see you all there!

Ever wanted to see what Arkaba Anthems would look like from a Satellite?! Well I've attached the image. Tho it may be a few years old.
How you wonder? With Goggle Earth! If you haven't seen it [CLICK HERE]!

Using satellite images u can zoom into any part of the earth! Its great!

for those of you that hasn't been to the Ark before.. the two main roads are Fullarton and GlenOsmand rds. and the little circular bit of the building on the south-eastern side of the intersection is the top room of the Ark, where anthems will be!

Enjoy

I would just like to thank Paul H" and those involved on creating an experience alike the others whom are taking the experience of sound and allowing this positive experience to bring people together to express awareness" . Love the work, as yea it be for the people'. "A true sacred thing it be, harmonics of a diff sought"

Energy, sound = emotion
