As i understand it, Storm and Whizzkid are HTID residents anyway!
To be honest i wonder how Slammin is gonna top this!:D
Anyone know how big Milton Keynes Leisure complex is or the capacity?
I have a feeling Shepton will be a better venue. (I'll find out on Saturday ).
I think they got 6000 for 'Energy', but this looks bigger still. The flyer will be out on Saturday after Slammin, so I've heard.
Though I do quite like Raindance though.
I reckon Slammin will have better Old Skool & Techno lineups.
I really want to go on Saturday but have no ticket and all my mates despite initially saying they would go, have now larry'd it.
The Dreamscape that I went to at Shepton Mallet has to be one of the best events I've ever been to.
B L A T A N T L Y.
bloody hell, has news from 1997 only just reached your parts:D :thumb:
seriously though, its not gonna be as bad as the Sancutary used to be, just keep ya wits about you.
You wanna see dodgy go to One Nation in Brixton, ive heard thats a nightmare.
I wouldnt let any security issues put you off:)
Go to Raindance, top quality ravin'
Shepton Mallet shouldn't be too bad.
Yeah I heard nothing but good things about it..
..oh, 'cept for the bloke who got his throat slit.
Though you can't blame Slammin, or the venue though but how the fuck someone walked in with a knife is beyond me. Same with the knuckleduster incident at Energy
SV Security
The security people at Shepton Mallet were (so I read) very nice people, knew what they were doing when it came to first aid etc etc. but all that said, people still walked in with knives, and as a result someone had their throat slit - tighter security checks are needed without aa doubt.
And how much faith would you put in these people if they were 'using their stashes of base' (amphetamine/speed) in front of people?
Raindance is bloody safe too, though you do get a few arses in the Drum and Bass section.
you dont say:rolleyes: ?
ah fookin ate pikeys:D
Venue - wicked
Production - lacking
Security - spot on (apart from then entrance searches, no metal detectors and just a pat down).
Crowd - Personally had no problems.
The knifing incident happened outside the venue.
It's impossible to ensure no trouble, when you have an event with 6000 + people. Especially when you include a certain music style that, in recent times, attracts a certain amount of trouble.
No one has mention the fact that about 6-7 people collapsed in the hardcore room, meaning the music was stopped a few times. Inc. the two who collapsed in the last tune.
I think slammin attracted alot of first timers and people who would not normally go to this type of event, because of the history of the venue etc. I certainly knew quite a few people that went who wouldn't have ever ventured to the Sanctuary. Hopefully those first timers will have matured a bit by the next one and the trouble makers may not want to repeat the experience.
Personally, I didn't have the best of nights on Saturday, but thats in no way Slammin's fault. (Oddly enough I spent all night in the Techno room, and only about 20 mins in the Hardcore?!? Not that I don't like techno, but it's not like me). And after seeing the flyer for Helter NYE, and the line up for Slammin, Helter is definately the place to be this december.
I'll defiantely venture to a Slammin in the new year, as it's less than a 2 hour drive from me, and hopefully it will have calmed down a bit.
You get a nice mix at Raindance, quite a few in the Old school room who've probably been going to Raindance for the past 15 years.
If you're anywhere near London Elation is clearly the best hardcore event around anyway.
Vibes and Livlee should bring back some memories. The whole lineup looks excellent and the venue has got to be one of the best in the country.
Actually Vibes plays a very good old skool set. Last time I saw him at Brunel Rooms he started off his set with Rave is a Mystery which has got to be one of the best hardcorre tracks ever produced.
ive been meaning to get down there for aaaaages :hyper:
lately though...all my mates arent interested in ravin or broke and NO ONE in this fucking university is into raving :mad:
no one want to go raving with me wAAAAAAAAAHHHHH:(
could always go on a few clubbign websites, meet people that way? that's how i met my current clubbing mates as i knew no one at nottingham that was into clubbing and in general made some really good mates
Clubbing one thing, raving another.
yeah it is
