This CD collection is a live recording of the DJ sets from the 93/94 NYE party at the Entertainment Center, Sydney, Australia.

Disc 2 DJ is incorrectly listed as Gemma.

The CD pack comprises of 14 CD's. Unfortunately the person that took the original recordings from the DAT tapes, had no idea of where each DJ set started & finished which means some DJ sets are across 2 or more CD's (and this is not because of the length of the DJ sets, as the majority of the DJ's only played for 1 hour.

Furthermore there has not been any attempt to clean up, or remaster the recordings, so what you get on disc is the actual raw live recordings.

Finally, each disc comes with track markers, however the markers appear to have just been randomly placed. There are also no track listings nor any credits to the individual artists.

The whole package is poorly presented with each disc coming with a paper sleeve that looks like it had been design and printed from a computer from 1993, likewise for each individual disc. The CD's do not come in jewel cases but plastic slips.

And now from Fantazia..

There were around 3000 people there and the production was very good, sound, lighting, stage layout etc. Moby put on a wicked show as did the Rat Pack, who went down very well, to quote from a Fantazia profile written for an Australian newspaper, They sent the crowd wild.

Easygroove was booked to play at the event but unfortunately due to arrangements all being made at the last minute he was unable to get out there, one to blame apart from the airlines who didn’t have enough seats available. For fans of Easygroove he is planning to get out there around April time, apparently Fantazia are planning an 8 day tour of Australia which is bound to take the country by storm, and why not, the country is massive and with the right intentions they could push the scene forward in leaps and bounds.

Several Australian DJ’s failed to appear which ended up in Paul Holden playing a six hour set. Apart from that everything else went well and the Party, although it was not as busy as they probably would have liked, was regarded as a massive success. Now over to DJ Adrenalin with some views, reviews and details of some of the best tracks in Australia.
