The year was 1993...
Fantazia NYE 93/94
Production: Fantazia & Clique Productions
Venue: State Sports Cenre, Homebush
Description: DJs Moby & Dave Angel)
- Shonky promotions, reasonable party, if only they had the numbers which failed to show after their rivalry amongst established Tribal crew whose party they sabotage on the same night. (Unknown)
Unity 94 NYE 93/94
Production: Tribal & DNA Productions
Venue: Wisemans Ferry
Description: As mentioned above this party was sabotaged.
- My friends & I were so pumped for this event & we had to drive from the Bankstown area to South Maroota, only to get there & find out it had been shut down (heard something later about the cops being tipped off so Fantazia could pull the crowd). Then not knowing what else was on we drove all the way back to Homebush to attend Fantazia. Needless to say this ruined my New Years experience!!!. (Unknown)
RAT 200AD NYE 93/94
Production:
Venue: Horden Pavilion

Happy Valley 3 - 18 December, 1993
Production:
Venue: A property down past Mittagong, off the Hume Hwy (damn, what's the road called?)
Description: Venue also used for Freedom 3 a year or so later, though on a different part of the property.
- Magic party, magic sunrise. Did an incredibly stupid thing driving back to Sydney on the Hume Hwy in that I pushed my 1983 Nissan Skyline to about 220km (the needle had gone off the dial at 180km). Anyway, I lived. Also heard of our friends driving back in an army troop carrier style 4WD. The driver had decided it'd be a great idea to drop another an hour or so before driving everyone home. He became semi-unconcious at the wheel, and it took another mate (reasonably well know Sydney DJ) to reach over and grab the wheel and steer back onto the road, while half a dozen of our friends were thrown about in the back. What is it with Happy Valley parties and dangerous road incidents? Just so stupid. (Unknown)

- but I did not go to that…. i went home to bed…… instead of giving us our money back, they held a party the following week without Lenny Dee which is a shame because he is a fantastic DJ. Never the less, it was a great party. I remember some DJ, I think it was Nick TT, going real real hard on the crossfader. Nick TT always seemed a bit dodgy to me… but I have never met him so I can’t be sure. (Unknown)

Armagedon - 25 January, 1993
Production: Tribal Productions
Venue: Ricketty Street Mascot
Description: (Carl Cox & Dj Phantasy)
- One of the most mind blowing raves i went to. It was in dodgy warehouse in Ricketty Street Mascot (right next to the bridge on the left heading towards Sydenham....it's now a car park). There was a stack of speakers as tall as the roof in the shape of a pyramid when you first walked in. I don't think it was a huge venue, don't know who the first DJ was but he forgot his headphones so his mixing was a wee bit dodgy. The DJs wee not elevated for once, they were right there on the dancefloor. I was a very keen DJ trainspotter and i just remember that i was able to stand directly in front of Carl Cox for his whole set on 3 decks and watch him mix - fucking incredible - not too just hear him but too watch his every move was incredible. I remember he was going crazy on 3 decks and he was scratching and cutting and he knocked the needle off the record and everyone cheered and he just smiled and got on with it. The lights and overall effort by the promoter was shit but the fact the promoter couldn't be bothered to elevate the DJ made it an unforgettable party. Carl Cox also performed live… but that was bollocks. (Unknown)
