- If it's the party I'm thinking of, it was put on by a great guy called Atilla and his girlfriend at the time (cute li'l asian girl whose name I've forgotton now), up at the Katoomba Community Centre (right on the main street). Paul Holden played. Good fun, and unfortunately shut down by police at around 3am. (Spectrum)
- lol that was my first rave. i studied at the blue mountains hotel management school with attila and bell (i think that was her name). he got me into raving. i remember phoenix (the three deck legend played) and nik fish. i remember being gutted cause george vagas showed up at 5am-ish, but it had been shut down and they had to send him home, i so wanted to see him play. agreed it was a good night, i had a blast.

WTF?!!!
Peak -9th September 1994 (?)
Production:
Venue: carpark off Parammata Rd, Broadway.
Description:
- I remember this date fondly as it's the party I met (however only for a moment) my now-wife. The night before, on the Friday, we'd trekked down to Canberra for a party on the lawns of the ANU, followed by a recovery at some random Canberrian's place in the 'burbs where the police rocked up, walked in, and discovered 15 or so ravers donning sunglasses, bathing in the morning sunshine in the courtyard out the back. Awesome!!! So anyway, then came Peak on the Saturday night, so by Sunday morning, I was feeling a little worse for wear! Ended up going back to my now-wife's place in Surry Hills with friends, whacking Dyewitness' "The Future" on the player in the bedroom, dancing like a wildman until I disturbed her flatmates through the wooden floorboard, and then proceeded to fall asleep on her bed. Made it up to by offering her a lift to Pleasuredome a couple of weeks later. The wheels were now in motion... hehe... Hmmm... now forgotten what the Canberra party was called. Paul Holden played. (unknown)
Jurassic Rave (Lenny Dee.USA) - 27 August, 1994
Production:
Venue: Agincourt / Hardcore Cafe
Description:
- Geoff Da Chef was playing in the "chillout" with his hand rotating the spindle of the decks just cause the music he was playing wasn't hard or fast enough on its own accord! Cool party. I think Jade played a morning set? With Spellbound just prior, which reminds me, also the party where I'd fallen in love with Hardsequencer's "The Dance Nation" with the "People of all nations, dancing together" and I had to run up to Kate (JRA) and get the name of the track, which I think she mistitled "Raging Wild Fire" (from the opening sample), and this entire conversation made a later episode of JRA. Hey, I was now e-famous! (unknown)
Colossuss (Transformer 2.Belgium & Dave Angel.UK) - 20 August, 1994
Production:
Venue: State Sports Centre, Homebush.
Description:
- What a party. Seemed so commercial at the time, and now we have parties the likes of Field Day. Question: Is it true that the proceeds taken on the night were lost/stolen in the morning? Amazing lighting rig on the main hall, fantastic colour lazer in the smaller second hall. (unknown)
