Ok - I've made this so you can stop whoring my B'Day thread.

Scene now is crap :)

Best music was back in the late 90's.

Back with songs like:

Breeder - The Chain (best dance song ever bar NONE)

Lustral - Everytime

DJ Mind X - Nightingale

Der Rite Rum (?) - Hale Bopp

BT - Forever June

Binary Finary - 1998

Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar

etc etc

Nothing in todays prog / trance comes close. Although The Matrix - The Matrix was close. I reckon todays dance - house has it won.

Or maybe thats just because "Im a dirty vinyl pusha"

Cosmic Baby sold out when he did Energy 52

Age of Love was the peak then it went down from there...

Hmmm actually I think Rock-it was the peak, after 1980 there was no good music.

Actually, I think it peaked at Beethoven's 5th... 6th onwards really were too housey for me.

Dave Joy - The Third Pleasure ( Uberdruk remix )

Unix - Overdrive your Speakers

Junkfood Junkies - The Journey

and

Pretty much anything on the Tidy UK or Tidy Trax label.

If its UK Hard Dance or Hard NRG, sign me up and I'm there.

If you don't like the scene now, that all good. Just don't get involved with it and everyone will be happy :)

I'm so damn bored of hearing people whinge that "its not as good as when I was involved back in the day".

Debating the merrits of the Club / Rave scene or which genre of Dance/Tech/House is the most relevant or "best" is as useless as a similar discussion over cars. Everyone will have their opinions and convincing them otherwise is impossible.

Just go do what ever you like but I pity the fool who tries to get between me and my Friday night. :wassup:

I am a big fan of Goa-psyNRG... but only the new stuff.

But in all honesty, I am just a big old boring 90's trance boy.

Though you listen to the "classics" and they sound very "bare" these days, just made with old technology I guess.

NRG can be pretty cheesy, but I still like it for a friday night.

I like Jungle (specifically) and most D&B, but I have no idea how to dance to it.

I'm not sure if I can agree that the scene is crap or I'm getting old??

LOCAL BOYS Late 90's + 2000/01 - In order of appreciation...

1. Phil K -

2. Will E. Tell -

3. Gab Oliver -

4. Jason Digby -

Best Venue's Late 90's + 2000/01 -

- SUNNY SIDE UP (old palladin / hellfire venue)

- MANSION (no longer)

- VM's (Virgin Marys - also no longer)

- VIPER (till it got "wog-da-fied")

Also, now days... no good recovery places that I know of anyway.

Now and beyond 2004... FUNK & FUNKY HOUSE

Honkytonks is the only good place I've been to in 2+ years - not that I have benders/munch frequently anymore - seems that most "bang'en" places are filled to the brim with "FLUF" and "BUBBLEGUMMERS"

EDIT: Any hole is a GOAL!!!!!

My 2c

I like Jungle (specifically) and most D&B, but I have no idea how to dance to it.

lol... you gotta love some nasty drum n bass... it has a pretty good scene in Melbourne, still pretty underground so it keeps the tossers away...

So funny being at a dnb party and watching people who haven't really heard it before, trying to dance to it... ;) they always try and dance all fast, trying to keep in time... but it runs at like 180bpm so you have to kind of dance on every second beat...

BIG rave coming up at Kryal Castle, if you can be bothered... 15 internationals or something... my friends are running the dnb room, so should be good :freak:

lol... you gotta love some nasty drum n bass... it has a pretty good scene in Melbourne, still pretty underground so it keeps the tossers away...

Adelaide seems to have a big D&B scene... :band: <-- ignore that guy

Coolest thing I saw was some acoustic D&B at Bennett's Lane...

The musicians were all very tired afterwards as you can imagine.

dnb rules. its the only shit i have a dance to.silver room at sublime goes off!

anyone got that trance n bass cd mixed by john b that came with a mixmag?

i consider it to be the best dnb of all time. so hard,tech and with the mindblowing highs of the synth over the top its just unreal!

if anyone wants a copy feel free to pm me

Putting a topic like this that's so close to my heart I just had to respond ;)

Not interested in getting into a discussion over which era of music was "better" than another, rather just wanted to relay my experiences on this front.

Having dj'd for over 13 years (mostly mobile dj gigs tho) i too have a huuuuge soft spot for the early 90's era of dance/house music. The last time i did a 'classics' gig (7 months ago) i played many of my fav 90's tracks and everyone there was at least 25 yrs of age and it just took them back to the days of their youth and they loved it.

Tracks i played:

1. God save the queer - Klatsch

2. Moods - Desert

3. Variations of a theme - Moonchild

4. Until we meet again - Bladerunner (Sasha Mix)

5. Southside - Dave Clarke

6. In the dark we live - Afrohead

7. Red 2 - Dave Clarke

8. Spank - Subsonic 808

9. Peppermint Lounge - Lemon Project

10. The Search - Trancesetters

11. LSD - HMC

12. Environmentality - Microglobe

13. Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar

Other 'classic' house i enjoy dropping:

Passion - Gat Decor

Punchunella - San Transisco

Zulu Nation - House Pimps

I want you - Itchy and Scratchy

Reach - Lil Mi Yin Yang

Your Lving Arms - Billie Ray Martin

Shine on - Degrees in Motion

Kinetic - The Golden Girls

Playing with Knives -Bizarre Inc

Been getting more into more mellowy vocal house tunes of late (getting too old for this sh1t!!!). Tracks like:

Can't help myself - Penis remix feat Kai martin

Surrender ur love - Jask feat Jocie (Soulfuric label ...great label)

For me - The Beard freat phillpa hanna (kaskade remix)

Can't Stop - Reep People

I could go on all night as i flick thru my vinyl collection ;)

PS RTF GTR Phil K, Jason and his brother Simon Digby are all good friends of mine. In the early 90's I use to frequent DMC record store mostly every Tue (or whenever vinyl shipment come in) where Phil K would work and then I'd also go to Rhythm and Soul down the road like it was going out of fashion!! The money i could of spent on my car instead of on vinyl!!! But i wouldn't change it for anything. I remember Gab Oliver, Andy Van and many other talented lcoal dj's all use to do the same rounds on those days and we'd all know and acknowledge each other with a "hi how ya doing" I felt really important back then :)

Another local 90's rave scene DJ that i thought was great was Voitech. Not sure where he's gotten to these days but he'd go off at Every picture tells a story parties.

Anyway that's enough from me.....for now ;)

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
