Frenzy with The Tidy DJs - Bournemouth 1st Feb @ Dusk Till Dawn The Tidy DJs make their debut for Frenzy in February fresh from rocking Bournemouth at the Opera House Re-Union back in November. February's party will be a celebration of hard house. The Tidy DJs will be bringing their own brand of Tidy madness, whilst new kid on the block Andriko will yet again rock us with his Whitby-style bounce mash-up set. The Frenzy residents will of course provide the hard house soundtrack down in the basement supporting our guests. Upstairs we're proud to invite back the Raindance and Destiny favourite DJ Jedi, who is one of the best old skool rave DJs in the UK... he will be giving us an exclusive one hour old skool set. The rest of the upstairs will be handed over to the electro and house sounds of Frenzy's backroom sessions. // Underground Lair - Hard Dance The Tidy DJs (Tidy Trax) Jo Jo (Frenzy) Andriko (Bounce mash-up master) Carl Phoenix Cheeky Scott // Room 2 - Electro DJ Jedi (One hour old skool set) Dirty Inc (Electro) More TBC Info @ http://www.frenzyclub.co.uk http://www.frenzyclub.co.uk/_images/flyers/20080201_tidydjs.jpg

It was a cold wet windy new years eve and me and my amigo Chris were going to Fantasy Island. We were full of high hopes for the event as we had never been to a fantasy island event before. After a 3 hour coach journey from Leeds we arrived. We got in straight away, no fuss, no cues, no searching!!!! When we walked in we gazed up in amazement at this big mountainy, tree covered type thing with a slide inside a massive dome. One of the main reasons I go clubbing, as like a lot of you clubbers is for the crowd people you meet in the club. As we went walking around at the beginning we started noticing the crowd seemed a little different to what we were used to. Basically 30-40% of people were strutting around with their Rockports, Adidas poppers, chunky gold earrings and Burberry caps at 45degrees on their head! I am not prejudice in any way shape or form but when I saw groups of these people giving the clubbers who were wearing cyber gear or club wear grief I automatically started making assumptions about how the night was going to go. Lets just say my wallet went from open back pocket to zipped up front one, just in case! From this point my expectations for the night seemed a bit lower than before. Don't get me wrong I met some seriously nice friendly people as you would expect to do so but most people did notice this hostility. There were plenty of different arenas (well they were called arenas but many of them were more like rooms). There was the main arena which had Kelly Lorena and alike on, it never seemed to get very busy and public domain who were supposed to be playing didn't turn up. The hard trance room which was put on by Honeypot Recordings and Tasty was normally very busy but was a bit odd as it was all carpeted (very strange when dancing your ass off then walking on to hard wood flooring) also at one point when we were in there the sound system kept playing up for some reason. The drum and bass room was what you would expect from a drum and bass room, ie lots of strange smelling cigarettes, mad ass MCing and a bit of an underlying gangster style aggression amongst people. The old school room which was put on by Raindance was full of white gloves, smiley yellow faces, skeleton people and them white face mask things. It was a really uplifting room, it was the room out of all of them that seemed to have the most happy, smiley, clappy people. The trance room was by far the nicest looking room but was always dead and very cold. The house arena I can unfortunately not comment on because I didn't find it!!!! Oooops!! The hardhouse arena was ace, this is a bit of a biased opinion as hard house is my life. It was put on by Goodgrief and Insomniacz. The music was what you would expect with the most perfect choon being played at 12 midnight.. Tony De Vit - I Don't Care, lets just say that was one hell of a tingler choon!!! The hardcore room, put on by Vibelite was not my sort of thing but it was very entertaining with the MCing, video screens, dancers in cages and very intense banging music. This room was packed most of the time and lots of people I spoke to said it was by far their favourite room. There was also a restaurant/caf place for people who could manage some food or if you fancied a cup of tea!! The food was expensive but I'm not sure about how expensive the drinks were. After 11 hours of dancing and lots of talking crap to people we got on the coach and headed back up to Leeds on the coach talking lots crap to people on the coach, some people who we were quite sure did not have the slightest clue what they were on about!!! In conclusion the night was very good because the trouble seemed to keep in certain areas so we stayed away and most people we met had said the same about the trouble. Best parts of night New Years in Hard House Room The people we met Bad points of night Prices of food Attitude from some people Closing at 6 Not enough seats As soon as we got back to Leeds we headed home for a quick shower and change of clothes and back off we went to Sundissential North at Evolution in Leeds. Sundissential This was the last Sundissential to be held at Evolution and boyeeeeeeee did it go out with a bang!!!!!! It was one of the busiest Sundissentials I have ever seen. It had the usual DJs i.e. Rob Tissera, Eddie Halliwell, Jez and Charlie, Andy Farley to name but a few. It was Sundissential VS Sundissential North. There was the usual Sundissential North mad cats that seem to be there every month but most of them seemed to be flagging slightly with it being NYD and most people having no sleep, like my self, but the party went on. The atmosphere was pure electricity in the main room as everyone seemed to be on a mad mission to dance their arses off as it was the end of an era at Evolution. The second room was considerably more chilled out with the choons being quieter and the overall temperature being quite a bit cooler. In the second room it was Sundissential and in the main room it was Sundissential North, not much difference apart from the temperature and the volume. One of the most amusing parts of the night had to be whilst Illogic was playing a seriously banging set all of a sudden the music cut out. The dance floor stopped all movement and took in a massive gasp of air, then the laughing and cheering began. As you would expect it did not take long until the sounds were back blasting out of the speakers, then it happened again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again!! It seemed to happen about 10 times until eventually the dance floor emptied! Apparently there was a problem with the fire alarms because it was too hot. At the end of the night there seemed to be an air of sadness that people were not wanting to show because they were wanting to go out on a high note. Rob Tisserra was the man to finish it off in the main room blasting out the Sundissential anthems such as 4 Motion-Over for me and Warrior-Warrior. Even the people who appeared to be flagging during the rest of the night seemed to be able to conjure up the energy to go crazy at the end. If you have not been to a Sundissential at Evolution in Leeds you have unfortunately missed out on a really unique night, they will have to find somewhere very special to be able to compare with the atmosphere that was generated in Evolution. After that it was straight to the after party that went on all night. Then finally got to bed some time the next day. Messy but utterly amazing New Years!! Since writing this it has been discovered that Sundissential is not moving from Evolution, it was an evil, evil, evil rumour that everyone seemed to have heard and believed!!! Photos Flyer

FRIDAY AUGUST 26TH 2005 (CARNIVAL BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND) @ HEAVEN, CHARRING CROSS, LONDON. Raindance, purveyors of the UKs ultimate rave atmosphere and Tasty, purveyors of the UKs ultimate hard dance atmosphere join together to bring you a night of heavenly BLISS. Dance music is about fun, unity and breaking down barriers. That is exactly what we are doing on bank holiday Friday August 26th. Raindance and Tasty represent two totally different ends of the dance music spectrum but both follow the same ethos of running their parties with dedication and passion to keep the original fun loving spirit of all night partying alive. In joining together Raindance and Tasty will unite 2000+ “Ravers” and “Clubbers” from all walks of life to truly give you a night of musical BLISS. The setting we have chosen for this party is perfect…. Heaven the venue that single handedly gave birth to the “ hedonistic” culture of hypnotic dance music in the late 80’s with seminal parties such as “Spectrum”, “Land of Oz”, “Earth” and “Rage”. The importance these events alongside “Heaven” had towards breaking down barriers between class and race, whilst pushing open minded music policies, is the reason why “Dance music culture” is an inspiration world wide, and it was only right for us to bring you such a ground breaking party in a venue with so much important “history” which has affected all of us in our search for musical and hedonistic “BLISS”……. Raindance and Tasty party people now is the time to invite you all to share our passion and love in an epic journey of heavenly “BLISS”!!!...
