Enchanted Forest 5

[oddy]

The date has been set for SA's largest outdoor dance party, Enchanted Forest 5 ... Sat Dec 7, 2002.

Last year's record breaking Enchanted Forest party attracted over 6,500 ppl ..

The venue although still a close kept secret (you find out on the night) is apparently a grass filled wonderland with tree's galore and never before used!

The Enchanted crew are looking for stall holders and any other interested performers and artists (throughout Australia) to get in touch to make this the biggest and best Enchanted yet. Contact the Enchanted Crew on <enchant@chariot.net.au>.

DJ's will be announced this month

Oddy,

[Lick-Quid]

I think you'll find it's 168 sleeps from TODAY!

[miss ribbon]

ooo so now it's 167 sleeps! but the again i guess that obviously doesn't count the nghts of no sleeping ;)

[junglebot]

Oddy - spill the beans, who's playing Enchanted this year?

[oddy]

i can't say yet sorry .. but let me say this .. all junglists and hard house bots will be over the moon and techno and house headz well catered for .. the venue is possible the best yet ..

keep ya eyes peeled to this site as we are announcing a different act every 2-3 weeks ..

tickets on sale july 1st

[Logik]

And I guess the country and western heads miss out yet again! :( :P


Went to my first EF last year... think I'll be pretty much a regular now. It's just something about a rave/dance party/whatever in the outdoors that gets me moist!! :P

I liked the venue last year but was hoping that it would be amongst loads of trees and grass etc... The image I'm getting in my head is much the same as Kryal Castle (adventjah) which was earlier this year at Ballarat. The backdrop was trees on a hillside (if you've been there then you'll know what I mean) with a laser shooting onto them etc.. made for an awesome sight when entering the complex.

My thoughts for the day!
:)

We've been given second wave Earl Bird tickets (ie $45) not first (ie $35)... so it's cheaper at other places ATM.

[Syk Syd]

when will the organizers make room for some goa/psy trance djs @ such events? I gotta say i find it odd that the most intense sonic form of electronic music is often over looked by promoters!
now why would that be?

[sixer]

If psy/goa DJ's and performers contacted us i'm sure we could organise something .. but they havent for the last 4 enchanted's !

[kafalicious]

just letting everyone know in advance that Enchanted 5 is also my official farewell party *giggles* well that is what I am telling my friends anywayz! yeah, yeah! :blush:

Okay... dumb question time.

What is goa/psy trance? Can someone give me an track name of artist name that would encompass this style?

Paul Okenfold and even Danny rampling would you believed have mixed psy/goa trance comps a friend of mine is into some of tyhe sounds and I have bought him CD's from Tsuyoshi
Suzuki and Return to the Source a club and label that treats it parties as a the continuing of ancient dance ritualsWe view the dance floor as a sacred space where we can connect with our power. To create this sacred space, we use totemic art and props, created by visionary artists. A large crystal is hung above a seven pointed star in the centre of the dance floor. The star symbolises the grounding of cosmic energy into the physical plane.

Goa Trance is recognizable by the following characteristics that distinguish it from other forms of Trance,
a very steady 4/4 beat.
lots of very psychadelic sounding wobbly noises, and acidy sounds.
a lot going on, noise wise. No poncey Detroit minimalism here - just chuck in loads of boingy wibbly noises, all on top of eachother. Imagine early Eat Static, but with less imaginative rhythms, and you're getting close. Pyschedelia is the key.
It is traditional, but not obligatory, to have at least one sample from a cheesy 50s Sci-Fi film or Star Trek sample per track. "All channels and frequencies clear", "The electrons do it to the neutrons, the neutrons do it to themselves", kind of thing.
Tracks generally go on for ages.,

Or in my onwords its the trance that you will see crusties jugglers fire twirlers and eaters with dogs on a string- the perfect soundtrack to a pot of shroom tea ;) :tripping: :D

Went to my first enchanted last year and it was a time to remember!
Although my grog got confiscated, and i came out in a suit of mud (which i hear is good for my pores)
but it's all good, and i've got my tickets
anyone know the line up and/or time if there are any yet?:)

[Naked]

the forums at system6 have posted some dj's who will be playing.

www.system6.doof.org/board.shtml

[PaulHamon]

Early bird tickets are selling very well on ITM.

They are still only $45 pus booking fee... so get in fast!

[sailormoon]

So there!!!
Coming back from Melb especially!
:)

[PaulHamon]

I was going to be coming back, but now I'm not going to be able to :(

[oOtidygirlOo]

I dont think money is an object when enchanted is concerned. I went last year for the first time and I loved it. Even if i did leave at 8am to get home in time for work at 10am :p

[miss ribbon]

that is a fucking stirling effort tidygirl! which reminds me, must ask for the three days after it off work....one just ain't enough to get over the enchanted onslaught! :tripping:

[sixer]

Just added to this years massive enchanted forest line up is a host of interstate DJ's.

From System 6 in Perth DJ Weavy, Teryaki resident Slieker (Vic), Wet Musik's Dave Pham (Vic) & Fokus's Mike Calender (Vic) ..

More Acts to be announced soon ..

:offchops:

[Troden]

[weavy]

its gonna be wicked and a nice little holiday away from perth..

but if da boys from systo get there way i wont be having a break thats for shure:tripping:

[hdskp]

ODC won't have to worry about a small crowd this year. For staters people don't have the time to go back and forth to Lyndhurst.
As well i've told heaps of year 11 and12 to come and as its around end of exam time they're waiting for a opportunity to lose big time.
ODC should start advertising in schools. I"m doing it for my school

[hdskp]

Who are you sixer?
Do you work or belong to the system6 crew?
Nice people they are

[Beekayz]

hdskp: I'm trying to figure out if you're being serious or someone doing a very good job of taking the piss of Odyssesy.
Either way you're bloody funny but if its the former I suggest you think you more carefully before typing! :lol:
hmm..even if you're taking the piss it would probably be a good idea if you thought more before typing ;)

[The Full Bench]

mmm... i'm hoping it is the sarcasm-not-carrying-well effect striking again...

[hdskp]

No i'm serious. Heaps of kids hear about raves etc but are to scared to go because they think there's e every where. Not true.
System6 are good safe places to let go of stress and i think many young people should go there.

As well i would never payout ODC. He really introduced me into the whole seen.
sorry about the typing. im really bad at english

[Naked]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I hope the right kind of kids hear about raves only, dont want the "fully sik mayte!" crew coming with their faggy cars with milo tin exhausts.

[miss ribbon]

hey naked...define 'right kinds of kids'...where's the PLUR, I ask of you??? ;)

[The Full Bench]

the kids that offer to buy little round things off you for $70.

[The Full Bench]

not that i advocate or would participate in that kind of thing. (has to be $80 at the least)

[hdskp]

I think you mean kids who come for the music and respect everyone else.
I know the kids you don't want, the ones who think they're cool because they are in gangs and have some drug knowledge (learnt about in home ec) and wear gangster clothing and talk in a obscene way. And i agree. I think oddy should have a policy to keep them out.

who said oddy was considering a policy to keep them out?
that would be a little hard to enforce don't you think?

[hdskp]

i didn't say that was a policy. i jokingly suggested it should be
Any way there will probably police and security anyway to stop trouble makers

[The Full Bench]

that's true!
:)

[Naked]

Yes i did mean the wrong crowd, like gangster wannabes, people who try so hard they beleive they have to dress in black, and look like they work at a funeral parlour, people who are rude etc or too intense on the drug shit they forget what its all about.

I beleive Bass Station in melbourne has a policy of a certain type of clothing to be worn (no all black, sneakers etc). While it might not keep all the wankers out, it does filter some of them out.


the kids that offer to buy little round things off you for $70.


ahahaha, mmmm maybe :)

[The Full Bench]

i guess there's no way to idiot proof anything. but don't you think that for a wannabe to get an idea, they have to be exposed to the right thing? who can say what will happen if you never try it?
(drum and bass for a crazy example *cough*cough*)

[Naked]

drum n bass attracts weird people ....






kidding. but it does attract a different element, i dont really like drum n bass, its too awkward/soft for me.

[burf]

73 sleeps until the BIG ONE..

Boy oh boy i cant wait..

There should be an 'advent calender' for this sort of thing where you can open up a door everyday to reveal pictures of waterbottles, turntables, glowsticks, and Corporate logos (think about it).

As far as the 'wrong types' go, as long as everyone comes and assimilates, and has a grouse time.. then bring 'em on.

[Beekayz]

lol. great idea Burf.
Sounds like a good money spinner for the System 6 crew ;)

I remember last Enchanted standing on one of those hugde dunes, trying to get reception and this metalhead climbed up it too (not the drum & bass variety) ;)

He couldn't hear a word I was saying 'cos he'd been right next to the speakers, he was absolutely pissed, and he couldn't understand why the security kept on kicking him out for moshing! :lol:

[Logik]

i'm singing....

'yo down wit ODC.. wish he'd get back to me' ;) :D


Enchanted should attract more people like this....

I think the dnb crowd in Adelaide is very cliquey and it's hard to go to an event and not feel out of place if you're a new comer...

that's what a lot of people have said to me...

But they do seem to be more accepting than the "average" raver...

Too soft? SOFT? That does not compute... nothing's as hard and dark as DnB!

Maybe it's just you who is too awkward and soft? :)

Fear the junglists X( :lol:

[oOtidygirlOo]

I only like *some* DnB but dont know what genre it is therefore cant buy it:meh:

You need to check out http://adnb.terminus.cc ;)

[Naked]

Too soft? SOFT? That does not compute... nothing's as hard and dark as DnB!


I was under the impression Hardcore is harder and darker then DnB :)

[NTrance]

As mentioned in another thread, seems that Hardhouse/hardcore is officially dead! Just that you and I don't know it yet;)

Not much of a fan of DnB except that LK (Carolina Carol Bela) tune from The Brazillian Job by DJ Marky - ultimate cruisin tune!!

[Beekayz]

Anything on the Dj Marky CD I love.
Jazzy, smoothy, funky drum & bass. mmm

[Naked]

I dont think Hard House or Hardcore is dead, and its up to no one to declare it dead, thats just silly propaganda.

[Beekayz]

Beekayz checks for a pulse on hardcore.
Sorry Dr I think we've lost him ;)
While Hard House is still alive and well, hardcore is really just a novelty that people enjoy a few times a year at events but few people would want to hear every week (in my opinion)
Am I in your bad books again Sixer or are you going to agree with me for the 2nd time in one day? ;)

awkward? yeah, some people dont get break beats, they have no sense of rhythym and rely on a doof doof doof to tell em when to dance (or mix). hahahaha;D ;D ;D

show me any other style of music that has the same scope of variation in the one genre - atmospherics, dark evil shit, jazzy & funky to plain ol party jump up - and all potentially in the same set?!!!

How about house music?
tribal house, funky house, soulful house, progressive house...all of which can be played in the same set if it is done properly

[LOCSmiley]

couldn't have said it better myself;D

[Khem]

I have never ever heard any house that can be as dark and as evil as some of the drum and bass I have heard.

[Beekayz]

not that you're biased or anything :p

[DjAARON]

Pretty much any style of music can incorporate these things, it just depends on how creative the producers are.

I have some pretty dark and evil sounding trance at home.

Beekayz and Sixer mentioned in one of the other threads Hard house is becoming funkier / techier.... so like I said......peoples creativity is the only limit. :)

[Beekayz]

For example Cygnus X's 'The Orange Theme' with the Clockwork Orange music.

[DjAARON]

Bingo.:)

i'll go with khem on this one .. there's is no way you could compare the orange theme with half of the dark d&b about .. listen to some panacea or tech itch ..

and i find the orange theme uplifting

[Beekayz]

Originally posted by sixer

You would!

[sixer]

well here's an easy way .. let's let everyone here

This isn't the original orange theme it's a hard trance rmx but it's still the same riff

listen here (http://www.bangingtunes.com/play.asp?ItemID=MOHAWK23&Side=A)

I think it's uplifting .. certainly not a dark as fuck monster :tripping:

[DjAARON]

It's very different to the original though. Same melody but the feel of the track is completely different. Not saying that I disagree with you saying it's not dark as a muthafuka but the orange theme wasn't the exact track I had in mind when I was talking about dark and evil sounding trance..... (although I do think the original is pretty dark and evil).

[Beekayz]

Firstly, not only is this a bad remix but it is cheesy as all hell and hardly comparable to the original! Completely taken the edge off it.

Secondly, the reason that people listen to music isn't to get depressed or feel morbid (unless you're a goth) ;)
It's to feel good and be inspired!
It doesn't matter haw dark or evil a tune is, if it is in a style that you love you will find it uplifting.
Take Lamb's 'Gorecki' for example or much of Massive Attacks back catalogue. This is as downtempo a tune as you can get. However, despite the fact it is bittersweet, for the millions of peiople who love it they will find it enormously uplifting.

edit: & what Aaron said ;D

Really ? I thought different ppl listened to music for different reasons .. you learn something new every day:P

[oOtidygirlOo]

Dance music (in particular hard house and funky house) rox because its uplifting and happy and makes me wanna dance:D However, if I am in a bad mood I dont wanna listen to happy-la-la music so crank up Tool:meh:

Im the queen of cheese and thought that track was sweet;)

[The Full Bench]

if you are looking for dark, why don't you listen to some real music?
Mmmm.... (www.breakbeat.co.uk)
