user posted imageBefore superclubs like Heaven and Planet, there was a place many consider to be the birth place of the of dance music scene in Adelaide. The Arkaba, or Ark as most call it, is almost untouched since the days when legendary acts like Carl Cox, Lenny D, Westbam and Frank De Wulf played regularly.

Not content to bring the memories flooding back with tune after tune of anthems gold, this venue is a special place all on its own. For those that were there the first time, relive one of the most special eras in Adelaide's dance music history, and for those that weren't, come and take a history lesson with a difference! Local legendary jocks Brendon, ATB, Madness, Andy J, MPK, Noddy, Mr S, Devious and H-Bomb taken us on a journey from the early house sounds, to banging classics and happy hard.

Due to limited venue capacity, only 100 earlybird tickets are on sale for just $20. We had 1600 turn up to St Pauls, and the Ark only has room for 600 of the quickest old school lovers around. Be a part of the anthems vibe and grab your [ticket here]!

We havent even finished todays anthems at St Pauls and we already know when the next huge anthems night is!!! The Ark is always a fantastic venue even tho some might find it hard to beleive.
Its just like a reunion of friends at the Ark.. I dont know what it is but you just seem to run into mates you havent seen for 3/6/12 months every 5 mintues. Plus you get to hear more old the old skool tracks you all love!

I'll be there for sure and I'm already looking forward to it! it will be my 3rd anthems at the Arkaba.
Cyas all there! make sure your pumped for a big one biggrin.gif

Good girl smile.gif

St Pauls holds about 1700 if you jam them in like sardines. Ark only holds about 700 sardines. Someone has to miss out if my calculations are correct....
shanny
Thats a pretty low amount compared to St Pauls.
Should be another packed event then smile.gif
jase31
with this much excitement laugh.gif

I may spontaniously combust! ohmy.gif
Davin
You'd be quite surprised at how small the licensed capacities are for venues. Heaven's main room was originally licensed for 1200, but since then they've removed public access to the stage and the balcony above it. It would probably be down to less than 1100 now if it was recalculated.

Anyway, for those that know about the Ark, they will understand why this venue is not about the capacity. Even with the music turned off, that old room will give most old ravers goosebumps with memories the second they walk in the door. Add in some old school tunes and they go positively weak at the knees laugh.gif

If you weren't there back in th 90's, I'm sure you will still love the tunes, and you will most definately pick up the vibe that will radiate from every old schooler there hehe. I still haven't stopped bouncing off the walls from sunday/monday morning, am I'm so glad it's the Ark is not too far away smile.gif

Tickets are on the way :|)

Gonna be a huge night , you see i went to the arkaba in the bad old days of disco blink.gif smile.gif and totally missed the dance music era that Paul has mentioned, saw many great bands of the day there and shared a funky cigarette with JPY there and also a few billys with Bob Dylan at the owners place after his concert at Apollo Stadium, i used to get into the arklaba as a 15 yo as a girl friend of mine was dating the owners son and i used to make the suppers that they had to serve to all patrons to allow them to serve booze past midnight.
One thing i do remember all too well was the fact that the total solid wooden construction of the top room was great for sound so if you havent ever been there before get along and hear the difference you will notice with the sound of your favorite old school tunes. Cant bloody wait for this night, its gonna be off the wall. biggrin.gif

Although he isnt quite with the "old school era" of those names, i'd like to see Devious play since he was out of state? for the St Pauls show.

What a blast from the past this will be. We were there in the late 80's and early 90's basking in the 'new' scene that had exploded into adelaide. Yep thats where the best memories of rave style dance parties lie with us.

Wouldn't it be just grand if we could score System AD for this gig... just some kind of weird fluke would be ideal!

The venue is not exactly spectacular, but it has this warmth about it. On the night, just take yourself back 15 years, and imagine what is was like with dance music being very cutting edge, and this tiny community of ravers and clubbers getting together every weekend. It's a pity you can't bottle a feeling like that smile.gif

This will be so wicked, as ive mentioned previously ive not been to the ark b4 and im keen as mustard for this.

I've just bought a ticket to this one (yes i decided i would pay for it this time rather than do the win online thing tongue.gif)

I was there for the last arkabar anthems, and there is no doubt that everyone one of those 600-700 sardines will have a very special time, as i did. The venue & it's sound system are awesome, drink prices are cheap, and the vibe of the place is incredible, especially when one of the DJs drops one of those classic vocal tunes that everybody knows the words to and the whole place just goes off!!! biggrin.gif

well i was "studying" in the days when decent parties were being held at the ark, and never got to any of them. but judging by the impressions of other people it is a hell of a venue - 700 people is not many for a rave by recent standards but is easily enough people to have a good time smile.gif

i was at st pauls and thought it was one of the best events I have been to in ages, so this upcoming doozie at the ark is on my wish list.

Is it in "Noah's - at the top of the Ark"?

i actually really like the layout and the structure of the venue dav! much better than alot of clubs going around i say! just the fact that it isnt really a club anymore means it doesnt have the extra work done on it. but i really love the venue itself. been there 3 times! twice for anthems and once for a staff party for work and i just love the circle shape of the place. went to a club in canada last time i was there which was very similar. small and cozy.


TCBr

Posted by: Davin Jul 20 2005, 04:57 PM

With the booths around the outside and the main part of the room wraping around the stage, that old circular venue certainly creates a nice cozy feeling. It's big enough to fit heaps of people without feeling like a cavernous unfriendly cave. If it were to receive a 2005 decor revamp, that place would be the ultimate club today smile.gif

indeed it is smile.gif
i always end up gettin stressed out before a big party tho...too much fukn kandy to organise LOL biggrin.gif


chemicalr

Posted by: DeeAndrea Aug 3 2005, 12:55 PM

haha yeah champ.. i know what you're sayin there.

Usually the week before trying to get it all organized, and sleeplessness the night before.. just going over and over everything to make sure it's all there..

also.. quick question, at anthems.. what sort of a scene is it? i mean i know the sort of people, but dress wise.. do many people rave/kandi it up or is it moreso casual/dressy there?

or again, does it depend on which anthems we're at?


DeeAndrear

Posted by: funkylittleprincess Aug 3 2005, 12:59 PM

Every one seems to dress exactly how THEY want, they dont usually go by what others are going to be wearing.
My friends and i just make sure we look good but are comfortable, that is the secret ingredient for a magic night.

Posted by: DeeAndrea Aug 3 2005, 01:06 PM

Hey there groovers!
Anthems crew have been fabulous enough to send me a free ticket for Arkaba anthems on 26th August but alas I am not able to attend!
My mates all have tickets already so I thought I would put it up for grabs via this forum!
So here it is, first person to text me gets the ticket [phone removed].
I will only reply to the winner of the ticket to keep my text costs to a minimum.
Thanks anthems Crew and enjoy the night!

good to hear people getting excited about this & obviously i am also - i even paid money for an earlybird! tongue.gif

The venue only holds 200 and it absolutely went off last year - can't wait to get back there again! Only the committed who will be there virtually from start to finish deserve to be a part of something so intimate & special. (your excuse would have to pretty good to only turn up for 2 or so hours) I know i'll be there right till the last track is dropped at 4am (is it still a 4am close btw?)

If they play that I'll shoot myself. I am showing my age but it is a catchy song that goes over and over in your head once it is there. HELP ME GET IT OUT.

Maybe I should have said in the words of Big Kev.

I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring on the 26th

Tell me Mich how do I set my pants to high speed? I wanna goone better and set them to "out of control" mode. In fact I am thinking they are already set to that mode now??????
kingeer

Posted by: mich Aug 15 2005, 03:59 PM

BIG KEV excited.... that's like the penultimate in excitement!!! me too!!!

the only way to get such a song out of your head is to repeatedly bang it (your head - not the song - altho that could work!) on a solid surface.. or listen to some other music.. that generally works too. Not nearly as fun for others to watch though. wink.gif

Warp speed dancin pants... you're right on that one kingee.. it's a way of life not a setting that can be easily adjusted!!!

It takes many, many, many years of dancing to get to that level of hardcore "I'll out dance you and everyone else in the room" setting!. laugh.gif laugh.gif

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so banging my head on my desk at work is not a good thing. Lucky for me I work in a hospital so it's off to the emergency department now. At least the song has gone. blink.gif huh.gif unsure.gif

For anyone who saw me at bowling night and after that over the weekend knows my life has been crankin it sideways and my pants are always stuck on that mode. Now it is time to up that mode to OUT OF CONTROL. biggrin.gif

I cannot wait. I'll be checkin you're pants on the night mich to ensure they are on the right setting.

like my lovely smp971 alluded to further back..our dancin pants r on the inside!!!

may need a dance off to determine the difference between warp speed and outta control... C U on the dance floor front and centre!

Hope you all had fun and it "Went Off". Paul do you remember we first met at The Ark on a Friday back in the early 90's, with shaun and Clare. Happy Days.
