Dance News

Woo yeah! Spring time always brings the parties as people come out of hibernation from the chilly winter. Something sure to shake the winter blues is news that Enchanted have secured an outdoor venue only an hour away from the city that will allow them to throw a proper day/night party again! No acts have been announced, but given the line-ups of the last few years it's sure to be phenomenal! One rumour, straight from the keyboard of someone's precious kitten, is that Fat Boy Slim will be there... you just never know with the Enchanted crew!

As mentioned a few weeks ago, the Lockdown DJ competition is about to get underway. This time being held at HQ, this gives the up and comers a chance to play on one of the biggest sound systems in not only Adelaide but the Southern Hemisphere! First week starts on Fri Sep 14 and sees Skippy, Nemesis, DJ Stevie Dee and Scot Effect showing you their skills.

Following that is BlackLightBlu, now at HQ. To kick off this occasion BlackLightBlu brings something special - a night White full of Trance. What's a white party you ask? Why a night where everyone wears white, of course! Dr Damage will be playing a massive 3-4 hour, backed up by Solace, Statik & Mc Jules.

Inbound are planning to blow up another venue as they present Klute at Mojo on Fri 7 Sept. Klute is well respected in the d'n'b scene and this is sure to be a capacity event, so get your tickets as soon as you can!
