Top night... took it fairly easy, thought slide fucking rocked the place

Another top night

No shit. That was the first time Ive seen Slide play and I loved it!! He has so much energy behind the decks which is so refreshing to see!!!

Anthems last night was pretty good - they are always good shows. You know pretty much exactly what you are going to get. Got there at 11pm and couldnt believe how packed it was - especially in the house room (you could hardly move). I dont know why they havent used that trance room before (did they only just think of covering the carpet with boards?) using that room really opens the place up.
I think that dnb room is always a bit of a joke - does anyone else feel like you are just in somebodys living room?
Stayed in the house room most of the night, which really peaked about 1am, but died very quickly at 2:30, and was almost deserted by 3:30. Are anthems events alway packed early on simply because all the ppl with free tickets get there before midnight but then move on at 2/3am? It really lost the atmsphere when everyone disappeared. Tunes in the house room were good - fantastic to hear armand van helden - you dont know me and daft punk - around the world - you never heard those tracks anymore. Turn me Out was the trashed song of the night in the house room - think i heard it about four times!

It was supposed to be cooler downstairs, but it heated up really bad - could they not have put some big fans attached to the lighting rigs?

Did anyone else notice that guy standing on the top of the steps at the back of the house dancefloor - shaved head in a red singlet, clutching like a black strap over his shoulder? He was horribly, unbearably, disgustingly sweaty. He bumped into me as i walked past him and ithe water was actually running off my arm, just from brushing against him.
Dude - if you are reading this - take a towel - do you wonder why in such a packed room you had a wide circle of space around you? Dj Josh was one of the people i saw trying to avoid the downpour and not let him touch her.

Overall, was a pretty good night - great to have that fourth room finally.

:grin: Oh my God yes the guy is not old skool but from prehistoric skool! I know his name but dont want to say it online but yes he is an adelaide dance scene icon whos reputation is the wiggly dance whilst sweating over every other poor punter who comes within ten feet!
Wanna know something funnier! I saw him in the Hardcore/Rave room at the end of the night and he had taken his top off!!! It was priceless. Stuff the towel Im getting me gear off! AHHHHHHH Never mind every one around him!

It was definitely a Kodak moment but it makes Anthems nights so much more memorable! :nugget: :wink:

Thats Harry - he's been around for years and is famous for the bum bag round the shoulder while doing the wiggly dance.

Top night last guys - thanks to everyone that enjoyed my set upstairs and have given me great response from it. I finally got to play to an anthems crowd with all the Tinrib classics plus Amphetamine and Commander Tom etc etc.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

PHEW...WHAT A GREAT NIGHT.... :tongue: Got home WAAAAY after curfew had been and gone, but it was worth it!!!! So many great old tracks were played I felt 21 again :grin:

Saw so many people it would be impossible to list them here, but you were all smiling your little faces off, and thats the main thing!!!

Slide, I loved your set....hands in the air style, all the way :wub: You looked like you were having as much fun behind the decks as we all were in front of them :teehee:

- the only downfall of the night was the airconditioning (or lack of any)....get some mega fans in there for Jebus sake!!! :err:

awesome awesome night. loving anthems events.. best crowd, vibe, etc.

place was rockin alll night long - till the end.

big ups to all those that cranked to my set, i had an absolute blast up there - had the whole room packed out - apparently most of the other rooms died off at that time.

who ever said trance is dead in adelaide needs help, cos there was hardhouse, dnb and house in the other rooms and you guys packed it for the trance! FUCKING AWESOME.

big ups to all those that cranked to my set, i had an absolute blast up there - had the whole room packed out - apparently most of the other rooms died off at that time.

True. True. True. Went upstairs like I said and Angu$ - about 20 people. La Lupa... hardly a crowd - back to Slide and woooaaah - packed room! Yay! Set of the night for me by far - excellent Ben xx :kiss: :wub:

The whole night was absolutely fantastic. Great tunes. Atmosphere. People. Vibe. The whole thing. Anthems did not disappoint for me again. Always a great night. Not too packed, which was good - still room to dance! :)

Apart from Ben's set - loved the other Ben, DJ Ben, and Brendon's (of course) then Jayse played some little bit more laid back stuff at the end of the night to the few people left downstairs. Sad I missed some of Andy Js set cos we got there too late. Oh well... big and long night... dragged Brenton away from H-Bomb's set kicking and screaming around 5.30am..!

Big ups to everyone I partied with - JJ down the front of Slide's set... Justin for Jayse's and the little krew we had - Toby, Ruth and Lisa :thumbsup:

Thanks again Paul for all your hard work and cheers Anthems team for another top night! :kiss:
