Arkaba anthems Returns On Friday February 24

Before 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. 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 HMC [playing the best of HMC], MPK [infamous prodigy set], Angu$, Maestro D and Mr S, plus The System AD [returning from UK] vs Adelaide's favourite DJ Brendon... all taking us on a journey from the early house sounds, to banging classics and happy hard.

Be a part of the anthems vibe and grab your ticket for $28 [online here] with no fees or from Venue*tix [all outlets], MTME [prospect/warradale/city], 3rd Dimention [semaphore], Arkaba Reception [fullarton], City Gym [adelaide] and Chapel Gesture [adelaide] plus fees! This event is a strictly limited capacityof 650 people. Arkaba anthems last August sold out 5 days before the show... Get your tickets today!

Now this is the sort of anthems party I was waiting for.

Paul, are you going to have 80c VBs and raspberry ready for us?

I hate you all!!! Nah, just jokes, but why do you all have to be having so much fun without me!?!?!?! Wish I was there soooo0000oo0o0oooo000oooo bad, but i'm not so you will all just have to party hard for me, luv yas!!

WOOOOOT! Im there Im sooooo there! Probably got a 8am start the next morning but ill be fine if i dont sleep- mmmmm...... messy!!

Oh dbb, you & are are going to have soooooooooo much fun reminiscing ....although it was always West End & raspberry as I recall it! Ah, the days before marketing gurus thought up pre-mix drinks & we had to create our own headaches!!!

A whole 6 weeks before the next anthems at my favourite location......how will I cope for that long??????

i wish you were here aswell taz, can't wait til when u next come down here

Looks like you didn't convince DAMC to get his tracks ready for a live back to back with me for the Feb gig neither Paul? Oh well.....No Flipsta....AGAIN!!!!!!!!..........and time just keeps on ticking!!!

count me in count me in! helllll excited..
yet another awesome chance to party with the best crew in adelaide
MWAH to you all x

Woo im in and ill drag all my friends with me....
ah now im all excited i wont sleep for days!!!

west end? vb? both shit beers. but they were cheap and you could adulterate them at will.

I remember on a few nights I used to [not recommended or endorsed] take some speed just so I could increase my alcohol intake.

Of course, nowadays I'm a responsible alcoholic and wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.

[btw, Paul, Daniel didn't know you were advertising this already ...]

are you gonna pretend that youre going away on a busines trip??

Don't tell me he's scared of trying to dig out his Prodigy tracks already?

Either that or he can't find his copy of "Anthem" by N-joi....

thats a party in one album

...he's pulling your leg....he use to pinch Andy J's copy!!!!

i wish you were here also huni... i cant believe you left when i was just getting to know you... that sux...

but i will definately be there... wouldnt miss it for anything...

That reminds me does anyone know where there is a place you can go to get a list of Rave anthem tracks as that would be marvelous......innit?

See you there, front row centre on the dancefloor, singing along with a big cheesy grin on my face

Love The Ark! Great venue! Wicked vibe!

Go the kidadults!

Enough said! IM SOLD! seeya there

hey.... west end is like my home town drink... by the gallon full... gets you pissed if you drink enough so that seems right - bugger the taste of it...!

Im so excited that ive taken this day and the following day off work... YAY!

im sorry the only acceptable beer from adelaide is coopers. because they are the only ones who didnt sell out!

Mr s, Mrs, Mr S, Mrs, Mr S, Mrs, Mr S, Mrs, Mr S, Mrs, Mr S What more do i need to say.

whens the next anthems so I can come!!

Im so disappointed I couldnt go, and Im still sick which sucks.

Im going to the next one no matter what!

I need a date and a venue!!!!! I wanna go dancing !!!!!!

That's the spirit!

Won't be for another month or so though - that seems the average time between each event plus Paul is going on a bit of a holiday shortly, so maybe even more like two months.

.. it's the waiting that makes them all the more exciting though

...I vote No. 1, Jutsin for T-shirt of the evening

Best item of clothing I've ever bought - besides my anthems t-shirt, of course

Attached thumbnail(s)
image not archived: post-1189-1140928272_thumb.jpg

i hate having to explain my t-shirt lol

I got it eventually Brian, after I thought it was a horse on the right hand side .

Good to see i wasn't the only one who had a wicked time

'BEST anthems EVER!'

And better yet, nothing got stollen from me this time

... although chris' phone screen blew up

can't win em all

The evil phone spirits must've been lurking that week...

I think that this was the Best anthems ever..!

Danced for hours non stop till i couldn't stand anymore...Had my old friends out for a return to the ark and my new friends...brilliant! couldn't have asked for a better vibe, everyone was so friendly and happy.

Im just coming up for air now...feeling totally exhausted, best workout ever!

Mwah! to those whom I had deep and meaninful in a booth at the end of the night, you know who you are... love you too guys!

Can't wait to see the photos of the night...

photo's online more to come!!

there have been so many great anthems nights for me to really choose a "Best Ever" but the ark ones are always special.

was just on the way home from work late at night here in canada and this french station was playing oldschool. was going fucking crazy. M1 "Feel The Drums" made me wish i was home for this one.

Paul you better have one for me just after i get home on august 6th ok!!

need my damn oldschool fix.

the question still remains...

who STOLE my pink glowstick from me on the dancefloor?

she was so mean to me.

What an awesome night!!! This was my second Anthem's event and I had a wikkid time... Prodigy set was a definite highlight (although there was ONE song missing!!!)

Many thanks to Josh, bek and zoe (mmmmmm... head massage!!!) for the recovery


only one suggestion for the next one.... maybe a later finishing time... 6ish would be better, rather than the sudden finish and then everyone trying to drive home in a *special* state

Considering it's been 4am at the Arkaba since 1990... i don't think it was that sudden! ROFL

Wicked fun nite

best anthems so far. was definately one of the highlights of my raving 'career'. hope this one was recorded Paul!!

u had fun cris?? couldn't tell!!! sorry we didn't get to come back to yours and get in on the jelly action... work on saturday's..... bad, so bad!!!!


was excellent to see everyone enjoying themselves so much. I certainly had a well wicked time... even if work the next day was really, really hard!!

Wow what an outstanding night had by all, IT WAS HUGE JUST LIKE ME!!!!
It went off yeah. Keep on dancing luv u all
RHINO

Such an awsome night luved every second of it. Cranked with friends old and new. I have the flue now but fond memories of the weekend keeps me soldiering on. A massive big mwah and thanks to Josh bek and zoe for their hospitality for the recovery.

Thanks to all for a great night!!!
Was great to hang out with such an awesome bunch of ppl... Looking forward to the next event!! Mmmwwhhaa...

Much Love & Respect..

Rach XxxOOoo

hey saw you laughing at me woman!

WOW what an awsome night, met so many people but cant remember many names, it doesnt mater because ill see you all again at the next anthems,
and thanks again to Paul and the crew for an exeptionally good night, thanks to everyone who shared the celebration. Happy people, rockin tunes, happy vibe, rockin venue, best birthday so far.

Thanks Jutsin! Im sure I will be feeling better in a month!!

I just want to go to a really good night with good music and good people and dance! Those nights are getting harder to find now, or maybe Im just picky

I'd just like to thank all those who appreciated the visuals and let me know *mwahs*

so you're the champion that put happy birthday on the screen, thankyou and great job

Foonji- you KNOW your a genius but ill tell you again, your a flipping genius i didnt know whether to watch the screens or the flashing lights and for once i chose the screens *hugs* awesome job!!!

hehe *blushes and hides*

damn....my flashing lights lost out over foonji's visusals..... *makes note to self to ignore foonji and act all jealous like*

bahahah i know its mean to laugh but...

so many ppl have the flu now...
and i sweated mine out over two nights...

FANTASTIC STUFF... both thursday and friday combined, i swear i lost half of myself just from the warmness of the night and then from bouncing round so much...
most likely wasnt appealing to look at but it helped cool when i found a vent to stand under...

thank you thank you thank you all for your sweaty hugs...

PS FOONJI... i was totally amazed by the imagery...
when iwas having a chill minute i was mesmerised by your awesome visuals and always gave a cheer when i saw your name flash up between images...

and Dave... your pretty flashly lights were great... when i started having an epileptic dancing fit during a couple of the later songs i was sure that you had something to do with it...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
and thank you for those who enjoyed my driving home

nice work paul and co. in organising such an awesome night!
it was exactly wat i was in the mood for
i loved the harder stuff at the end of the night!!
if i wasnt sketching from the men in black then it would hav been even more tops
*takes hat of to the crew*

.....f*cking nice work on the visuals foonji!!!

*pokes Ravvy* Dont pick on me- Im DYING over here

Scott says sucked in to everyone whos sick- coz its usually him and hes fine bastard im off to bed coz im all worn out and sooky night all and damn you evil anthems flu

hehe i'm fine, i even pashed a few of you that have now got the flu/ cold ... i hope you all get better quickly!!! being sick isnt very nice!

only complaint with the visuals is they didnt go with the music... besides that they wernt too bad
