Evasive Action - Sept 23rd @ Earth, OUTBLAST-CATSCAN-DOUGAL-MC STORM
EquinoxPosted: 2 Sep 2005, 11:31pmrecovered

Friday 23rd September sees EVASIVE ACTION hit Earth!

This is set to be an awesome night with some of the biggest names in the business converging on Earth in an all-star international line-up!

First up, 23 year-old wunderkind, Bart Kok, aka CATSCAN has established himself as a leading force in the Dutch dance scene, best known for his powerful DJ sets and live performances. Hot-wiring techno, hardhouse, even classical and film music, Catscan’s tracks have featured on every Thunderdome, Hardcore To Da Bone, Nightmare and Masters Of Hardcore compilation to date. As part of Base alert with Outblast, floor fillers like ‘Zoo’and ‘Ojeeoink’have appeared on countless others. With performances at parties like Thunderdome and Mysteryland under his belt, he’s respected by audiences and critics across Europe and the world for his unconventional and experimental approach to hard-edged music.

Catscan’s partner in crime, OUTBLAST has established himself as an icon in the Dutch hardcore scene. Signed to the infamous and world reknowned Masters Of Hardcore label, he’s stamped his mark on definitive hardcore events like Thunderdome, Hellraiser, Masters Of Hardcore, Defqon1, Qlimax and most recently Dominator. In 2003 Outblast won the award for best Hardcore DJ at the ‘Masters Of Hardcore Awards’. Having already played at his famously sold concert, ‘Outblast 2005’ at the Beursgebouw in Eindhoven (out now on DVD) and Sensation Black at the Amsterdam Arena this year, this hardcore masterblaster is chomping at the bit to bring his world class show to Earth.

And finally, being at the forefront of the UK happyhard scene for years, DOUGAL is a pioneer in his craft. His sound destictive, yet versatile, he is recognized the world over for his mixes on the infamous ‘Bonkers’ happyhard collections. Aswell as this, countless notches on his belt from such labels as ‘Essential Platinum’, ‘React’, ‘Dreamscape’ and ‘Slammin’ Vinyl’. Dougal is definitely not a novice when it comes to rockin’ a crowd at massive events like ‘Hardcore Til I Die’, ‘Hardcore Heaven’ and ‘Raverbaby’, and Australia is certainly no exception to that. Be prepared for Dougal to stamp his imprint in your head and burn up the floor, what is guaranteed to be a stormin’ night!

Backing Dougal up on the mic, one of the finest Masters of Ceremony the world has to offer, MC STORM. This man is a lyrical perfectionist, with rhymes and linguistics that make his skills second to none!

From Sydney, CRYSTAL returns to rock the floor,

with Adelaide's finest in support:
H-BOMB, EQUINOX, ODYSSEY, HEX, TORQUE, BANSHEE, ZEALOUS, EVIL DAVE, ISM, TANTRUM, TANK and MISS EM.


Get set to take EVASIVE ACTION!

Doors open at 10pm.
Tickets $20+bf available from Venuetix and Earth. Limited tix available on the night.

I've lost my bounce! :gasp: I think I used it all up in the hardcore room at Pressure Point last week!

Music was great, just couldn't find the bounce and energy to get into it - no reflection on the dj's at all, just a long tiring week - very disappointing! :(

Gotta say though, I'm sure MC Storm is very good at what he does, but MCs just irritate me and find they distract from rather than enhance the music. I know other people will shout me down but that's just a personal opinion. I just wanted him to stop talking so I could enjoy the music more. Oh well... :err:

Good sets all round, just hope I find my bounce again in time for the long weekend! :teehee:

What can I say, best night I've had out in a while!

Crowd was smaller than I expected, but as Pez said, quality not quantity!

MC Storm still has me in awe. Absolutely fucking brilliant! Dougal was unreal.... great cheeeeeeesy set :)

Outblast didn't disappoint, spewing I missed Catscan, but there was no way I was missing any of dougals set!
And I still managed to be in home in bed and asleep by 5am...

Big Ups to Tim & co for a wickid night.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Stayed til about 5am. 7 hours out isn't bad for a 2nd time raver, first time hardcore, first time at Earth. Must say I've been converted.

Mc Storm was fantastic and Dougal is the nicest DJ I've ever met. For someone to be that good at what he does and that famous, I expected a snob but he is so chilled and awesome. I can't wait to meet more incredibly awesome chilled people :)

Having said that, Miss Em was good at the start of the night too, it's nice to see Adelaide talent (esp female) onstage doing their thing.

w00t!

*tear*

I have a ticket which some random hot MC handed me. I think I might actually go. My boyfriend plans on breaking up with me if I take anything again... Temptation is incredibly high. Willpower must be higher!

But my friend who is going will be drinking so I should be ok.

Yup yup. Totally coming now. I'm the one with the pink hair :D

Come to think of it... I can't remember if he was cute :wacko: But it wasn't an MC it was the stage walking guy.

I'm really tired. AB is required.

What a night one of the best i've had in a long time!

Dougal and storm blew me away there set was just full of energy and storm is a master on the mic his voice scratching was amazing!! Why hasn't he been here before?? Hope his back soon!!

Outblast was the highlight of my night loved every second of his set didn't move from the dance floor the whole time he was on!! Catscan was also good but was runnning back and forth from him and douglas set.

Shame there wasn't a bigger crowd but everyone there was up for it!!
