Minimal Fuss pres. Circo Loco @ Civic Theatre, Sydney (26/01/07)
by PieroRuzzene on January 29th, 2007
Adding a name as internationally renowned as Circo Loco to any party is going to elevate the ‘loose’ factor, and the concept of Ibiza’s best parties merging with one of Sydney’s more exciting underground nights was mouth watering to say the least. [more]
What sets apart the great DJs from the average ones are how they use these tracks to build the audience up and gently let them down, which I thought Ewan did to great perfection on Saturday night. [more]
Sounds and Glitch, take a bow, you’ve officially won my and many other’s vote for best event of the year. [more]

If you've seen Phil K play once, you'll be back to see him again; at every opportunity. [more]
All in all Sweetchilli at Home was a resounding success in my opinion. One of, no sod it, the world's greatest progressive DJ, playing top notch music in Sydney's best venue and with an excellent sound system. [more]
I love Chinese Laundry. I had to start with that because that's pretty much where this review is heading. Add to that one of Australia's most talented producers who has worked with musical geniuses such as Sasha and BT, as well as numerous film projects, and you've got a night out! [more]
Two Tribes really needs no introduction. It comes around every year and is renowned for its big name acts, including a vast array of internationals. And this year was no exception. [more]

It's a rare thing to have a night like this. Music that the DJs wanted to play for us, and what we wanted to hear. [more]
Last week Sounds changed the mould slightly by bringing in live act Crazy Penis. Being the perennial darlings of the Australian festival and club crowds, Crazy Penis were always going to offer something special in their last Australian show of the summer season so this was an event not to miss. [more]
The late nights started early last week and by Saturday the prospect of more sleep deprivation was beginning to concern me. But alas, I know better than to listen to my good judgement when it comes to a Saturday night. [more]

The music was good, the mixing was tight and everyone was really friendly. [more]
Sweet Chilli's 2nd birthday was a birthday party to remember. There was no Pass the Parcel or Pin the Donkey's Tale, and there definitely wasn't any Spin the Bottle, well not that I could see, but there were plenty of good tunes played by excellent DJs to a friendly and welcoming crowd. [more]
The night was an eclectic selection of house, tech, breaks, the banging, the moody, the uplifting, the funky and the downright sexy- just like the banner read " Proper progressive house" [more]
Saturday night seems like it would have been Sweetchilli's busiest to date. Sweetchilli was a full house and those who had already entered and been stamped had to line up for re-entry. [more]

It was definately an experience to check out UN and if you're into your harder edge music I would recommend that you check it out. Keep in mind that they do have door policies so dress to impress. [more]
A new night has started which give the groovers funk, breaks and tasty beats. The sexy music of Ray Theory will make you groove. It is time to experience something different, something fresh - yes welcome to Burlesque. [more]
Christmas party. That was the official reason behind Kink's first December weekend, although any excuse would do to showcase the killer beats that went down at the Arthouse. [more]
