Speaking of which, I must fly.

Pun intended.

If you haven't seen the second room yet, I suggest you drop in Friday night. Check it out and pick your pozzie for Saturday.

...More pumped than a newbie's arse in Yatala.

I was just thinking, because I havent seen it posted anywhere, that this would be a good event for the guys to let us know how much was raised for charity at Blind.

It was such a sick party and it would be nice to know how much the RSB got from it.

was thinking that the other day actually.

was going to ask the old dear as she works in fundraising for RSB....

MAMPI

Definately keep this thread to Mampi stuff guys... for all your information though

Andy and I have posted a preliminary profit report for BLIND in the BLIND thread for all those interested and I'm an open book if you have any queries

I agree that the Pendulum show will be fucking wicked.

tonight is gonna be crazy! can't wait!

Mampi Swift, what can I say. I mean I know a lot of drum and bass but I've never heard this name before. Well that's probably because I'm a slightly uneducated junglist. Infact if he didn't actually come to adelaide I probably still wouldn't know what genre of music he played. I guess it's like that with most music unless you're so deadset passionate about it, you'll never know all the big names. I mean Andy C, I didn't know who he was at the start of the year but I knew who pendulum was. But Now I've been to see Mampi Swift live and in the flesh with that MC, another name to cross off the list so to speak

I came at 2am after leaving "On a Harder Tip" So I came around halfway through his set. Daylight savings was screwy so I don't know if i came exactly halfway through but he had started playing when I was there!

This would be the first time I've been to Black Cat the night club. I've been to Mars Bar before but I guess that's completely different, they are next door to eachother though. The first thing I've noticed about this night club is that it seems open and there seems to be a good airflow through the whole venue. Earth is pretty open too and is one of my favourite venue even moreso than st pauls, but Earth's roof is heaps low to cater for the top room. The high up ceiling in black cat made the dance floor seem heaps open. I liked the idea of having the bar right along side almost the whole of the dance floor aswell that was pretty cool because you just had to dodge your way across the length of the dance floor to get a drink instead of completely leaving it.

By the way.. If you've seen my profile picture and connected that with me going to Mars Bar no I'm not gay. Last year I decided to be gay for a week, you know so I could say to people that i was gay but I didn't like it. Well I didn't hook up with any boys or anything, and in fact I got equal the amount of attention that I do from girls, none. But yeah I decided that one queer week was enough for me and that picture of me in a dress is really there to show that i'm not that self conscious.

Anyway, now my sexuality is clear (hopefully... ) back on with my report on Mampi Swift!

I guess there's not much to say about him although I did notice there was some unique way of mixing that he did that I have probably heard before but never noticed. I've named this style song bouncing. This is because it's like he bounced between songs. Like he'd start of with Andy C's pacman song I can't remember the name but then he went into the subfocus remix of Smack My Bitch Up, then he went back to pacman, then back to smack my bitch up. It was sorta cool in a way because when he went back to pacman and he was just about to transition you knew exactly what song came next. That could be used to heat up a crowd, it's like giving you a little nibble of what's to come but then take it away. You know when you ask for something from someone like a pen and they're about to hand it to you then they snatch it away from you jokingly then say "nah only kidding" and give you the pen, It's pointless that they snatched it away but it sure made you want it more. It's sorta the same way that this song bouncing made me feel.

He did a lot of weird rewinds where there were like 2 or 3 songs involved, well that's what it felt like. I remember pendulum doing that, rewinding to the previous song. Atleast Mampi Swift didn't overkill rewinds, it was at a level that most people wouldn't notice it nor did it sway the dancefloor much. There were some songs in there that had a pendulum breakbeat type feel with high pitch ultra melody synths like Slam and Fasten Your Seat belt, Im not sure whether Pendulum's new album has influenced any of the producers to start a new style but whatever it was it sounded good.

By the end of his set I looked around and didn't see any smiling faces, everyone looked heaps tired but I was still roaring and ready to go. It sorta sucks when it's like that when the people you're with lose their enthusiasm, makes you seem stupid when you still have energy, like I felt guilty I didn't put enough energy In and wasn't tired enough at the end of it. I probably could've danced for hours longer but I guess the amount of caffeine in my system constantly probably covers up my actual state of lethargia.

It was heaps of fun and I didn't think black cat would be that big and that vibrant but obviously I was mistaken. The lighting there was pretty cool. There was one weird thing when the strobe lights came on and they were in that centre rig thing there was a girl dancing at the front and she was shorter than most of the people and everyone dancing around her looked like they were in that stop start strobe type motion and she was moving normally. That looked VERY weird just seeing her move in real time when everyone else's movements were jagged and stuff I thought I must've been going insane. Maybe it's a sign maybe it's not but it was very weird to witness. Those green lasers were cool, but they weren't like the slow moving one that was at enchanted, I like the slow moving ones better because they stay at certain positions and with the smoke they actually look like a wall of light and it's fun to put your fingers through like that scene in One Perfect Day.

Anyways great night and cranking tunes! I can't believe that at both the places I went to there were that many people out like honestly I didn't know that electronica had such a huge following like that in Adelaide but you learn something new every week. I hope you all had fun too and that you're all fine and dandy for work on Monday!

Well what can I say. That was a fucking insane night.

Mampi was as good as expected technically. Unfortunately he was a tad disappointing on the musical front. All great tunes but it was more or less the "best of" dnb over the last 5 years. Bugger all (if any) really new stuff, just hit after hit which the crowd loved, but I was after a little more. Whatever I think, the fact of the matter is he had Black Cat jumping like never before and he has to be commended for that.

To be totally honest, set of the night didnt go to Mampi - it went to MPK. He was the drunkest man in the room when he started his set but fuck m3e, he pulled it off. Great tunes, brilliant mixes, and a DJ pumped up and ready to party. He played a stormer - big ups to the handstand man!!!

All in all. A seriously dope party and Mampi was wicked. But Andy still owns him!!!

was cool seeing da man himself, obviously havent been out for many dnb nites but i had an absolute blast! caught up with friends, and the crowd was pretty entertaining too! wish i coulda partied on! oh well

Good to see you out and about Anna.

Well fuck what an awesome night. That shit was off the hook. Big ups to every one who came in and rocked it right through to the end of MPK's set. Im done. Off to bed for me

top night... The atmosphere was wicked!! i could feel the floor bouncing. im not really a fan of the MC, i heard him say 'real ravers make some noise' one to many times, by the end of it i could have shoved the mic up his ass. 'i say mampi, u say swift' and 'adelaide your wicked' can only be said so many times.

aside from that mampi was fucking awesome! LOTS of crazy dancing, sweaty people and BO, what more could you ask for!!!!!!

O MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fantastic evening, my legs and knees have never been so sore from bouncing all night. i just love this man, the double drop master. i lost my shit in his intro, SCREAMER (just my fav track of all time!!!) and when he played pacman with smack my bitch up i couldnt ask for a better mix. AHH so good
IC3 was gorgeous, jumping in the crowd and having a ball. fantastic evening. thanks guys for bringing down them down.

does anyone know if the set was recored. cos if so I WANT IT!!

MAMPI!!

I had more issues that he admitted to becoming gay for a week just so that he could say it. Oh dear....

Cetra IS gay, and thinks he's JJ.... no one touches the king...

Anyway, back to the event...

Last night was fucking insane!

Love to see Black Cat packed. It has a wikkid vibe and overall just a comfortable, friendly atmosphere about it. The sketchyness stays out the front door!

Mampi Swift went off and I didn't mind that he played all classics and few newer tracks. I hear new tracks week in and week out and it's nice to listen to a set where the crowd could go fucking nuts when the first few beats of a track were dropped. Wasn't about to hump MC IC3's leg but he did enough to compliment Mampi Swift and kept the crowd pumped for 2 1/2 hours solid, so gotta be happy with that.

Must say Big Ups to the Black Cat bar staff. For a crowd of that side and the amount they were drinking, you's did a great job with keeping up! I reckon it's got a lot to do with Black Cat's gorgeous door bitch who was working the bar last night

Thank you to all the event organisers and promoters. You did top knotch job which was evident by the size of the crowd

Oh yeah...If someone finds the signed posters, I'd really like one please. I couldn't find them

woooo SO happy I made it to this in the end! Couldn't get my ass in there til 3.30 but was def worth it to still catch an hour or so of this mans set. IC3 is waay up there with one of the best mc's ive seen so far. He sure knows how to get that room bouncing!!
Big up to MPK for a fantastic closing set, I didnt realise you were that drunk lol. My legs were trying to get to bed but that track selection didn't let them out the door til close! Nice one!

The Double Drop Master Great Tunes but wanted some newies, Keep the night rolling, what a day remember, Thanks to everyone who was part of it one way or another Big Ups to The Vibe and Acetate crews - Awesome Night

Awesome show.

fucking awesome night, everything about it.
great to see so many there and plenty of the familliar faces too.

Fuck me was that the best ever. Big ups to MPK for taking a small little set time and owning it so thoroughly at the end of the night. Big ups to all the locals. Nothin like watching all the mc's in town working in a tag team. Two rooms packed full with nothing but drum and bass all over the place, it's one for the dnb record books. Big ups to everyone who rolled out. I've never seen Black Cat so ram jammed in my life. The floor was literally bouncing, lol

Finally, much thanks to Mampi and IC3. They had just a wicked time and sat around with us most of the next day to bask in what a great night it was. Nicer guys you'll never meet. True ravers, in it just to see everyone has fun. Oh well, nuff said

Best set i have ever seen.. who cares how many dubs he played.. he had the crowd fucking pumped from start to finish, the floor was (litterally) bouncing for the entire 2 1/2 hours he was playing.. best set i have ever seen.

"I don't really play that many dubs, I'm playing for the dancefloor.. not to impress the ten bad boys standing behind the decks" -Mampi Swift


:noemoticonsneeded:

Andy: Spot on

Fuck that man can mix.

Quazza/Pase/Griff - big up yourselves.

It was a wicked nite Mampi did a great job if only I had enough energy left at the end of the set for bigging up

I was also slightly dissappointed in the Tracks Mampi played. I came along expecting a little Ragga Jungle Flayva but all in all I can`t fault the Man in playing for the dancefloor.
Classic IC3 lyric was to Another Planet (or whatever fucken pendulum played out track that is) " We`re gonna take you to a PARTY - We`re gonna take you to another world"
Loved that. But yeah like noddy said it was like a best of dnb set rather than what i was expecting as a bit of ragga jungle


Some of the earlier DJ`s killed the sound - and i mean in a bad way.
I don`t care who you are but when that chick was singing (and much respect to her)
the guy fucked up majorly - it was way shite!! Volumes all out of whack and shit.
I was embarrassed about it. fuck!
