        He would be crazy to do that when he can catch them at a Sunny event with great sound.

              It will be interesting to hear a club set from saiz, he's one of my favourite producers. I wish I lived in melbourne, you guys have such a better music scene Laundry is always too packed, barely enough room to move sometimes. I was really interested to check out nick warren when he played the easter renaissance party with satoshi tomiie, but I couldn't last longer than 15 minutes before having to go outside and get some air, it was ridiculous!

                Re: Hybrid & Henry Saiz..... I need some convincing!

                Is he on the saturday night.?? Because we have him on the Friday, I could give you a review then

                That event here with Nick and Satoshi was absolutely spectacular. As an event it was the best of the year so far. Darkbeat guys throw great parties Although on a personal level Hernan's two shows were my favourites.


                Btw Sorry for rubbing it in

                  Re: Hybrid & Henry Saiz..... I need some convincing!

                  Yeah, he'll be playing on sat the 25th. Do you guys have hybrid as well? If you do, I'd be interested to know what kind of stuff they're playing at the moment. Unfortunately sweetchilli have stopped putting on big prog djs, so laundry has hardly any competition. I may just have to move down to melbourne

                  Are 'darkbeat' & 'sunny' two different companies? Where do 'likes of you' fit into it? I wish I had seen hernan this year, but I couldn't talk any mates into spending the ~$80

                  Despite the overcrowding I did have a great time at the renaissance party. Satoshi played an earlier set (8-1030 maybe?) in the courtyard which made the night for me. Still pretty disappointed about missing warren though. Although I wish renaissance would move these big nights away from the easter long weekend. It makes easter sunday breakfast with the extended family a bit... interesting. This year I got an hour or two of sleep beforehand, so it wasn't nearly as bad as 2008 after fanciulli/seaman which was nice

                    Re: Hybrid & Henry Saiz..... I need some convincing!

                    Darkbeat and Sunny are different but they often work together! Both fantastic.

                    Sunny is pretty legendary for brilliant prog nights and fantastic crowds. They were really underground for years . Didn't even do forums. Strictly word of mouth !!

                    Darkbeat are a pretty versatile night. They do a lot of what I call prog , , but spread themselves out over a lot of genres. They are always quality though! My best ever night was a Darkbeat / Sunny night. They choose their Dls really well , the way they program their nights is nothing short of brilliant. I'm a big fan

                    Likes of You is part of Future. This my opinion ! Basically I think they are crap. They run nights of, once again in my opinion, pretty aggressive second rate international Techno Djs. Our local techno guys are usually the highlight of these nights. Then they throw is a token prog Dj to pull in a bigger crowd. The crowds are very random , pushy etc. They seem to be concerned mainly with pulling punters in and that is it. They have no respect for the Djs. On two occasions I know of they have actually blamed the Djs for sound problems. They do get some good Djs merely because they have the money to buy them and recoup use the marketing strategy I outlined above.

                    It's the huge gap between doing it for the money and doing it for music. The Sydney show for Hernan and Loco Dice was a prime example. Apparently the sound was awful, Hernan got through it , but it got worse for Loco Dice and he walked off early. As well as all the other problems they had there.

                    The things that Sunny and Darkbeat do like make sure the aircon , fans and most importantly, sound etc are all functioning properly certainly aren't done by LOY !

                    Probably more info than you needed

                    Yes we have Hybrid and Saiz on the same night. It's a Sunny night . Will be good.

                    May I just say we have some stunningly good locals

                      Re: Hybrid & Henry Saiz..... I need some convincing!

                      Haha, no, all that info was great, thanks! All I knew about them previously was from a few sets I have. The darkbeat & sunny party with danny howells earlier in the year sounded amazing. I'm so glad that part of that set was released. You guys really are spoiled down there I think laundry is owned by justin hemmes/merivale, so I imagine they are closest to likes of you - maximising profit at the expense of the patrons. I'll have to make it down to melbourne for a sunny party sometime in the future.

                        I disagree too! Thanks for the detail Di!

                        Re: Sydney and the Laundry, I had strips ripped off me for posting my thoughts on the Laundry's approach to big name acts & DJ's on certain Aussie forum.

                        Its heartening to see that people who's opionion I respect (MS users) felt the same way about the gig...

                        It is SUCH a pitty that Sweetchilli don't put on prog nights anymore, and its almost a crime that the Laundry gets away with r4ping the local scene the way it does...

                        I think its time I packed my bags and headed down to Melbourne to check out one of the Darkbeat/Sunny gigs in person...

                        So to answer your original question, go, purely to indulge what drives all of us, the chance to hear what the like of Saiz & Hybrid have to offer, but as always, brace yourself for the overcrowding, poor sound dynamics, and general CBF'd attitude that is the Laundry....

                          ^^Err I was talking about Likes of You, not Laundry, but it's probably the same with the more commercial promoters.

                          I used to actually support the big promoters simply because they bring out the big acts until I realised how it actually worked.

                          pm me a link to your tearing off of strips.

                          Btw What did happen to sweetchilli ??

                            TBH the Sunny crowd has really deteriorated over the years, a lot more clubbers these days. And skanks

                            I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                              I got that, the comments re: the Laundry are purely my take on their approach to clubbing in Sydney.

                              I was disagreeing with you saying your original post was 'more info than we needed' - more detail the better!

                              LOL - I'll PM you the link on ITM
