All About Illya

Sounds and Kaskade go hand in hand. It's like the Greenwood courtyard was built for his deep, soulful grooves and in many ways Kaskade's rise to fame in the realms of house music has echoed that of the dominant Sydney Sunday afternoon soiree. [more]

Given the choice between turkey with Aunt Mildred or sun soaked beats with the top guns of electronic music... well, the decision basically made itself. [more]

Dragonfly is known for many things… being in the heart of Kings Cross, being a club with cool DJs and hot nights, and one that is probably not a favourite amongst the party crowd with very strict, and kinda mean bouncers at times. [more]

Monkey Tennis brings out yet another quality international deep house DJ, this time Chicago's Bryan Jones, laying down the best set i've ever heard. [more]

The infamous 'Terrace' space on the rooftop of Home Nightclub sees the return of the promoter who made it such a loved clubbing destination a number of years ago. [more]

I left the club a tired little girl, with the rain pelting down on me and the cloudy sky still too bright for my eyes to cope. But try and stop me from doing it all again - cold weather included! [more]

Management and technical problems aside, Kaskade played a superb set filled with all his classics and lots of love. [more]

Great bands, great set, but somehow, the Vamp gig didn't live up to expectations; maybe it's the venue, maybe it was the crowd (still recovering from the Mardi Gras after-party), or maybe it was just the sunlight, bleaching away the party spirit. [more]

Kenobi and MC Shureshock delivered their very finest amongst an amazingly good vibe, a stack of love, and moreover a whole lot of fun. [more]

It is one thing to preach to the converted and another, indeed, to win over those who have very little idea of what lies on the 'other side'. The efforts of Ajax and Illya were well noted as excellent, for the party of the year: InTheMix:05 held at The Monastrey. Music for your eyes, ears and feet! [more]

A seven year musical journey, and only one night to showcase it all?! Happy birthday Home. [more]

Each year ITM polls its users to find out who the most popular DJs are each state, and subsequently for the whole country. On Saturday night Australia's leading nightclub played host to a killer party with an immensely talented DJ lineup which spanned multiple genres. [more]

The Technics/Inthemix Top 50 Party touched down at Ambar in Perth last friday night, boasting a quallity interstate and local line up as well as the promise of everyone's favourite drink specials. It was a party to celebrate the W.A top 5 winners of the DJ poll. [more]

You have to love it when the crew behind the event know the crowd are wanting more. As it goes, Sounds on Sunday, set up its very special 6th Birthday - Mark II - for those who missed out on the monster Horden gig. [more]

Dirty House Sessions returns to Candy's for the long weekend once more to celebrate their 1st birthday, playing host to two international's from San Fransisco (USA), Chris Lum & Calos Gibbs. [more]

There's something strangely reassuring about a club night where the promoters aren't afraid to wear furry rabbit's feet and make their mascot a helium-filled primate. It's a sure sign that the place doesn't take itself all that seriously. [more]

Having never attended a uni party, my expectations resembled a movie style college frat party, alive and fun with a plethora of hot talent. [more]

Still envisaging the cold blooded murder of every single ticket tout that put the Big Day Out financially out of my grasp, the Slip Inn made do as the venue in which to catch hip hop's instrumental man of the moment, RJD2. [more]

Put your thinking caps on, cast your mind back to six years ago when a strange looking structure was being built on the south side of Darling Harbou. Damn... it's too far back even I can't remember. [more]

To say that anticipation was high for Harbourlife 2004 would be a tremendous understatement. After the success of last year's event and the run of successful parties since, would Fuzzy be able to deliver the goods? [more]

Having heard what can only be described as glowing reports of the first Menage a Trois, I like many was pleased as punch when the second instalment was announced. So with anticipation high and hopes of a top night out first and foremost in our minds, we rolled up to the Burdekin just after 10pm. [more]

The students are loose! And true to traditions, they kicked off Sydney Uni's Snowball by reaching for the beers. Here Manning bar's split level set-up assuredly provided many adequate drinking spaces for the less co-ordinated. Um, steps count as drinking spaces too right? [more]

A great night was had dancing and chatting to the deep down and dirty, techy house being played and the beautiful breaks being spun. [more]

The music was good, the mixing was tight and everyone was really friendly. [more]

Although originally billed as "Fly presents - In the House", as word got around that the people at Fly were putting on another night with their former DJs, the promoters and punters alike quickly adopted the phrase "Fly reunion". [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]

When the crowd moved from Sounds on Sunday's 4th Birthday celebrations to After Ours at YU, One Man went with them to push his scant privileges as an ITM reporter to the limit to bring you this review: [more]

Stand Out Track: "Electric Disco" - Plump DJ's Stand Out DJ - Illya, even though his set was short. Jay Walker was also very good, I will be keeping an eye out for him. [more]

Soulful was the emotion, the vocals and the release. House was......what made it possible. [more]

Congratulations and happy 6th birthday to everyone at the Globe! [more]

After receiving an email from the Breakeven Crew about a boat cruise on the world's most beautiful harbour and featuring some of Sydney's best house DJ's, my plans for Friday night were sorted. [more]

It was a huge night of friendly, trendy people and killer music and Matt Roberts needing to be told to stop playing at 8am so they could shut the club summed up just how good the atmosphere was in Yu. [more]

Anticipation almost got the best of me as I made my very first trip to what is seemingly one of Sydney's most popular venues, the cosy little Chinese Laundry. Before I get payed out, I've only been in Sydney a few months, but yeah, it was about time. [more]

The line up consisted of; illya, Goodwill, Mark Dynamix, Luna, Ajax & Q45 - all well known for their abilities and fine taste in music... [more]
