With three of Sydney’s best promoters joining forces, there was no doubt that the party would be a hit. And it certainly made for a fine way to spend a Sunday evening on the long weekend and was a breathe of fresh air from everything else going on. [more]

The annual Earthdance Festival was another stellar success, uniting the Sydney community with people across the globe in a celebration of music and peace. [more]

It'd been a long time coming. This reviewer first heard of protégé Canadian DJ/producer Frivolous, aka Daniel Gardner, two years ago care of one of Fabric London's fine compilations and even then, I knew his sound was unconventional and exciting. [more]

Easter is a special time of year. While Christmas celebrates a baby in a manger, with wrapped-up presents and inappropriate food for warm weather, there's nothing that gets in the way of what Easter is really all about: chocolate, and Mad Racket. [more]

With the return of Mad Racket favourite Jamie Lidell to the boogie bowlo ballroom for an exclusive up close and personal show, anticipation for this New Years Eve event was higher than usual with tickets selling out weeks in advance. [more]

There's something special about a local Mad Racket. The combination of all local DJs, non-maddening crowds, cheaper ticket prices and Marrickville Bowling Club's all-year-round lower drink prices worked even better with Annabelle Gaspar headlining. [more]

The music is nothing like I’ve ever heard before and the vibe is really laid back and casual. I’d definitely recommend a Mad Racket experience to anyone. If you’ve heard the rumours, they’re all true. [more]

It's not the first time Sheffield native Chris Duckenfield has caused a stir Down Under.

This was no exception. [more]

Sechs. Seises. Sei. Seis. Six. Many guests from many countries have showed their wares on the decks and as live performers at Mad Racket over the past 6 years and the sixth birthday was to be no different. [more]

I believe that this particular Mad Racket featured some of the most consistent and enjoyable music I've heard out on the tiles for a while. A party that reminded one of certain halcyon days of past. Long live House. As the Racketeers would say: Well Bowled, Well Rolled. [more]

Although a little short on crowd, there were still a lot of fun and friendly people out and about and I had a fun night at Toasted - I'll definitely be back to check it out again. [more]
