All About Gas Nightclub

It wasn't entirely clear how much Matt Darey enjoyed the night himself however - throughout the set he had somewhat of a superstar aura about him, without, unfortunately, much animation - he did the entertaining via the music. [more]

Saturday night was the launch of the club night Endorphin in Australia. Endorphin.au is the antipodean off-shoot of the very successful Endorphin.uk. Having established itself as one of the leading hard dance nights in the UK, I was keen to see what the Aussie equivalent had to offer. [more]

One of Sydney's favourite nights of tough hard edged dance music added another international to their guest list for the year presenting UK trance legends Solarstone. [more]

I have always been intrigued about gas, though my clubbing experience had not led me there before. My first impressions were good, it's polished but not pretentious and the bohem lounge was a great precursor to the main event downstairs at gas. [more]

Well what a truly good night Saturday was with the Nu Energy crew (Kevin Energy, Sharkey, AMS & K-Komplex) at Gas nightclub. [more]

It was with great expectation that we arrived at Gas on Saturday night. Not only because this was the Transmission after party, but because the legendary Dutch DJ and producer Marco V was headlining!! Being one of the most in-demand producers of the moment we were assured of a HUGE night ahead! [more]

For once Sydney was being visited by Swedish techno DJs Adam Beyer and Joel Mull, the duo having skipped our city on their last tour to Australian. And to top if off, it was on a Saturday night, in a big venue. [more]

Who ever said that disco was dead? The 2,000 or so punters who turned up to see Studio 54's Nicky Siano's fourth appearance at Gas nightclub certainly didn't think so. [more]

Overall the night was most enjoyable as all of the Wag fans united together under the one roof to show their appreciation for one of the best producers in the hard trance scene. [more]

Nights like this are why we go clubbing. [more]

Saturday night at Progress boasted an all-star cast as the trance masters of Europe descended on Sydney for a night that promised to be a 'Trance Extravaganza', and it would certainly seem so with the likes of Flutlicht, S.H.O.K.K and Marcel Woods all on the same bill! [more]

Now when a so-called 'founding father' of not only the hip hop scene, but indeed deejaying in general comes to town, one quite rightly gets excited. What with his Zulu nation credentials, Afrika Islam had a lot to live up to. Pity he didn't then. [more]

The atmosphere was unbelievable right from the start, and whether you were a regular or first timer everyone was smiling, socialising, and enjoying the music. [more]

He was having a good time as he scratched behind his back, under his legs and both decks at the same time. Craze is clearly a guy with too much time to practice. [more]

After 3 long years in hiding, the acid and psy-trance night known as Chemistry has returned to Gas as a monthly Friday night event delivering a blend of progressive, acid and twisted psy-trance. [more]

Sample Gee combined flawless mixing with impeccable track selection that simply hit the spot for me, a balanced combination of good melodic vocal tracks and uplifting quality tunes. [more]

Although it was a no-show from Daniel Ro it certainly didn't impact on this party. Ro may have missed his gig but Yoshi, Steve Nichols, Mickey D, Krazy Joe, Dubs & Hush DIDN'T MISS A BEAT! [more]

The Lost in Bass series returns to Gas yet again sporting a massive lineup covering the best of hard trance and hard house in the main room, and deep and funky house in Bohem. [more]

What was meant to be the battle of the year of the best interstate trance/hard trance DJs, Saturday night turned out to be a bit of a disappointment as our local Sydney DJs Bexta and Nervous weren't able to arrive for there promised sets. [more]

Although I've been inside the Bohem room for parties before, I've never seen it anything like this. [more]

The Enigma2 CD Launch at GAS was a worthy showcase of three of the artists signed to the Sydney based Enigma label. It was fantastic to see so many people out and about in support of our local talent! [more]

Trance legend Pulsar and GTR the man behind Mistral hit up Progress with their amazing combination of melodic and uplifting trance. [more]

As always, The Halcyon crew were out to impress with their punk theme. And as always, the music spoke for itself. As Kevin Spacey says in American Beauty, "Spectacular." [more]

What did Clubology have to offer? Well, there were percussionists, didgeridoo players, dancers, masseuses, an interesting lineup and a friendly and open atmosphere. But where was everybody? [more]

In addition to the Pharmacy tour, Yoshi was allotted a three hour set to launch his new CD The Soundtrack To My Life. [more]

Given that it was almost a year since an international had played at a Halcyon (or Altitude) event, there was much excitement amongst the crew as they brought out one of trance music's most respected producers, Matt Darey from the UK to perform a stunning three hour set. [more]

It was a chilly Saturday evening when I walked into Gas for Frantic's final event 0f 2003, in which Frantic had teamed up with international club night Slinky. Frantic was pumping in Gas whilst Slinky was located upstairs in Bohem. [more]

The festive season is traditionally associated with winter and snow, but here in Australia it is in fact the opposite and the Halcyon crew decided to emphasise this by throwing their latest party on Boxing Day with a summer theme. [more]

I have come to expect a great deal from anything hosted by the Frantic Crew, and as usual I wasn't dissappointed. [more]

All in all I have to give both thumbs up to Slinky at Gas and I would definitely head off to Gas nightclub again in the future. [more]

Phil Reynolds makes a welcome return to Frantic... [more]

DJ Wag is one of the most respected DJ's in the Hard Dance scene. His famous tune "Cocaine" is played almost everywhere by everyone. [more]

Since seeing Madeleine Hetherton's documentary Street Level at the Hip-Hop Film Festival, I've been pretty interested in seeing more 'home grown' Sydney hip-hop. So the chance to catch some local live acts perform as part of the launch of night that aims to support this was not to be missed. [more]

Frantic Sydney has developed a stellar reputation as one of this city's leading hard dance promoters in recent years. [more]

According to Enigma’s website they are “an independent record label based in Sydney who are devoted to promoting Australian hard house/trance/techno/hard trance and progressive artists”.
