WORLD DANCE, THE PARTY that has been on everyones lips since their last event at the Wembley Conference Centre in December of last year, finally arrived with their first party of this year, which took place on Saturday 1st April! The party was titled "The April Fools Ball"' & believe me you'd have been a fool not to go. I rang Chris & Jay two weeks before the event & they said then, that they were going over the top on production, sound & lighting. This was going to be their best event to date! I have been to nearly all the World Dance events & they have all been excellent; how could they possibly make this party any better? Well, being the nosey person that I am, I had to experience World Dance for myself! We arrived on site just after 11pm, one thing I noticed immediately was how well organised the parking was, we was then directed to the entrance. In the past everybody moans about the queue, which on this occasion was non existent. To make queuing quicker the W.D.O. constructed 4 more lanes in the search tent & there was even a portable toilet near where you were queuing, how many times have you see that at an event! After a fast but thorough search by the security we were inside! "Where to now?" Was the first question asked & without no hesitation we decided on the main arena. When we entered the aircraft hanger the view was breathtaking with an absolutely wicked light show & a crystal clear sound system which you could hear at any point within the hanger! Unfortunately we missed Pooch & Vinylgroover sets but everyone i spoke to said they both played well. Next up on the wheels of steel was Elevations male DJ of the year DJ Hype, who demonstrated his excellent mixing skills & played a ripe selection of music. Next up was DJ Swan-E who I think is one of the most under rated DJ's on the circuit & believe me his set was one of the best on the night! Two of the best MC's on the scene at present (in my opinion) were performing at World Dance, MC Fearless & MC Stevie Hyper "D" & they kept the crowd bubbling throughout the night. Going through to the second arena saw some of the UK's finest House & Garage DJ's playing an excellent upfront selection which you could expect to hear at The Ministry of Sound or Club UK in London. Big respect to Tony The Aytolla of the House Scene for looking after the second arena & sorting out DJ's like Cleveland City, Luv Dup, Phil Perry, Frankie Valentine & Danny Hodges. Walking outside the hanger I looked towards the fun fair there was 3 rides there, a hearts & diamonds ride which was the most popular, a waltzer & a tea cup ride for all the nutters who were up for a laugh. There was also a massive refreshment tent which was also used as a chill out room. On from there we went into the amusement arcade where we spent a lot of our time & money. (Yes, we are all big kids at heart!) On entering the main arena for the second time we heard Kenny Ken's last one – gutted! I can't fucking believe we missed his set! Us event reviewers are hardworked & underpaid for the hard job we do! Next up was DJ vibes the Happy Chappie who played a very good set & put lots of smiles on lot's of faces. I think the best thing about World Dance was the music policy, in both arenas it catered for all tastes & most of the people I met were very openminded & listened to Hardcore, House & Jungle music which is good to see. After Vibes' wicked set the man like the Randall stepped up & he was definitely "too hot to handle" tonight! Playing a few dubplates mixed with some Jungle anthems & for me, played a superb set. Walking around I spoke to a few people & they all said what a wicked night they were having! I also spoke to six of the biggest rave promoters in the south who were there for a party. Now most promoters are very critical about other promoters events & they all agreed that not only was this World Dances best event, but it was the best event this year! World Dance saved the best till last & had Slipmatt, Grooverider & then Ellis D playing the last 3 hours which finished everyones night off on the right level. If I said this night was the nuts I wouldn't be exaggerating! Look out for World Dances next event on the 10th June back at the Wembley Conference Centre. Overall rating of 96% highly recommended!

Unique Artists- DJ Agency Profile By: Ade Lé Barron Unique Artists are based in Fulham, London and is run by Caroline, a very talented promotions lady within the music industry. She has been involved with promoting DJ's and MC's since 1991. It all started when I used to knock about with mates. They were all unknown DJ's, but were quite good, I thought that I could probably get them work, so I approached people like World Party to see if they would be interested in taking on new up and coming DJ's. At that time nobody was really interested and it did not take off that way. So I got involved and met a few people on the scene. That was when I met Scott from Tuff Dance. I started working for Scott who was also part of the Raveworld Parties at the Tasco Warehouse. Tuff Dance was set up roughly six months before I joined it, and working for them got me recognized a lot more. I worked for Tuff Dance for roughly eight months then I met Julian from Fluid Motion. By this time Tuff Dance sort of frizzled out and I felt like I was doing the majority of the work and I was not getting what I deserved out of it. So Julian said "Look, come and work for me, you can run it all by yourself until the time comes then we will get into an office." So I did that, I run it all. Me and Julian eventually went our separate ways. He was running this club called 'Space' and was doing a lot of other projects that took up most of his time. Because he was so busy he started to lose interest in our thing so it was left to me to deal with. Other people were brought in to run Fluid Motion but it is no longer running, It has all stopped now. So I decided to do it on my own and came up with 'Unique Artists'. Unique Artists has been running now for one year and four months. I chose the name for my agency because all DJ's have their own unique styles so i wanted something that would be different from everyone else, well 'Unique' to sum it up. At the moment I have DJ's such as Randall, Hype, Andy C, Darren Jay, Simon 'Bassline' Smith and Donovan 'Badboy' Smith on my books. I do get work for various other DJ's and also MC's like GQ, Flux, 5-0 and Moose. The two busiest DJ's are Randall and Hype, but all of them are working and do have quite a few bookings. A big respect to Damon, the man who designed our logo for us, he is good at what he does. From day one I have always had Randall on my books right from the days of 'Tuff Dance'. All the DJ's on my books play different styles. Donovan can play Drum and Bass or Jungle. I don't have any real plans to use House or Garage DJ's on my books for the simple reason that there is already agencies on that scene for them type of DJ's, for me to start getting involved in that I would be treading on other peoples toes. Things have changed a lot in the scene, but the music is still good. I personally am more into Drum and Bass music than anything else. I think it is changing for the better, as the scene has got bigger and more recognised it is good in that way but in another way it is bad because it brought about a bit of a bad element to the scene as well which I think is spoiling it to a certain degree. I remember something funny that happened while Randall, GQ and Hype were in Switzerland in January. The promoter of this event was really outrageous. It was a women call Kenny. She shocked all of them, she just really did not care about anything basically. She tried to offer them raw bacon at breakfast time, all of them just refused it. In the end they all came back. We got quite a lot of bookings for our DJ's to go abroad. We've had bookings from Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada and a few of them have even been to Australia. GQ goes to Ireland quite a lot. We have held 'Unique Artist' parties at The Lazerdrome in Peckham, London, we have had 2 parties at Amazon, Wolverhampton and we have one in Derby at the end of May at a club called The Dial. The best parties we have held for vibe and atmosphere have been at The Lazerdrome. My plans for the future are to put on a few more party nights throughout the year. I have been lucky really with everything. I have had all the support from the DJ's that I wanted when I left Fluid Motion. They were all telling me to go out and do my own thing. I have tried to make my agency better than every other agency that I have worked for. My heart was in it with all the other agencies but this one is my own and I have no-one telling me how to do things. I would like to put shouts out to all DJ's and MC's on my books and to all the promoters that use the agency. Scene says: Thank you for you time. If there is anybody who wants to book any of Uniques DJ's or MC's they can contact Caroline on 0171 381 2098 for a list of all DJ's and MC's on Unique Artists books.

Back 2 Basics Label Profile Interview by: Adrian B Meet Jason and the boys, the crew from Back 2 Basics, who have released anthem after anthem. We took a trip to Birmingham to meet the lads and find out who is behind Back 2 Basics. Scene: When was Back 2 Basics started? Jason: It started in July 1993. Scene: Who is involved in Back 2 Basics? Jason: Me, Warren, Lee and Alan. We are the four main people behind the label. Scene: Where did you get the name from? Jason: I don't know, there is no mad story behind it really. I wanted a name that we could stick with. When the music changes we don't have to change the name where as if you had something like Hardcore Records for instance you would have to change. We just wanted a normal sort of name. Scene: What inspired you to start the label? Jason: I have always been into music, I did a college course for 2 years for a BTEC in design sound and just started from there, playing around in a studio and that was it. I just decided to start a label. Scene: How did you get into the producing side of things? Jason: The first couple of tunes that I made was with a guy from Stevenage then I just started making tunes with Andy Whitehouse on 'Tactics'. As I started to understand the studio a bit more I went in on my own and started banging a couple of tunes out. People started to hear the stuff I put out, so I allowed myself to be produced. Scene: What top releases have you had to date? Jason: There are so many, we are on No 23 now. Deeper Life, The Way, Dread Base, What Kind of World to name but a few. Scene: What has been the best selling Back 2 Basics track? Jason: Erm, probably 'The Way'. Scene: What new track do you have coming out soon? Jason: The next release is called 'Bobbles'. We are doing this thing called the 12/19 Series. It's a 12 inch out on a 10 inch cut. That will come out on silver vinyl. After that there is a thing called 'Crazy Feelings' Then Soul 2 Soul Remix's, then after that is a thing called 'Rockers' its like a Ragga Baseline followed by real Drum and Bass. Scene: How long do you keep your tracks on dub plates for? Jason: Usually a couple of months. We have eased off on dub plates now, we put them on test press straight away. Scene: Why do you think the label has been a success? Jason: We try to produce good quality tunes that make people listen. Scene: What DJ's do you use to promote your music? Jason: We use Hype, Randall, Kenny Ken and Gachet. That is about it really. Scene: Have you done many PA's? Jason: Yes, we have done personal appearance's at The Lazerdrome in Peckham, London, at Voodoo Magic Parties, Club Da-Da, Elevation, and we have a few things coming up for Canada and Germany. Scene: Can you tell us some more about these? Jason: Canada PA's are on the 20th May, Unique Artists sorted that one out. I think that is for about 3 days. The Germany one is not 100 per cent confirmed yet. Scene: Do many artists come to you with possible releases? Jason: Yes, we get tapes all the time. Things that we receive and hear and think could go out but won't be massive, we are going to put out on another label called 'Misinformed'. We get so much come through that there is no possible way to put it out on one label. This label will start in about one months time. We are just getting all the registration sorted out now. Scene: As well as releasing your own tracks you remix other peoples, do you enjoy this as much as working on your own releases? Jason: I enjoy doing the remixes because I like messing about with other peoples ideas. When I remix a track I try to make a new record around the original idea. Scene: What has been your most successful remix? Jason: I would say 'Dread Bass' that was probably the most successful. Scene: What producers do you feel are doing well at the moment? Jason: Dillinger, Hype, Roni Size, Splash, Pascal and Sponge. Scene: What plans do you have for the future? Jason: To get more known internationally, build the label and merchandise. We will have a catalogue out in a few weeks time & it's going to be a full colour catalogue. Keep pushing on. Scene: How do you feel the scene is going at the moment? Jason: It is split into 3 sections. You have the Jungle, the Drum and Bass and the Happy Hardcore. I think that it will keep going in those directions. Its a shame because you get less people in one area. Scene: Any shouts? Jason: Aarrgh! That's a shout, heelllo! That another shout. All the punters that buy the music, all the shops for believing in the music and all the DJ's who play the music. Thats it. THE SCENE MAGAZINE

LYDD ASHFORD AIRPORT welcomes you SCHEDULES TO FRANCE CHARTER FLIGHTS PLEASURE FLIGHTS CONFERENCE CENTRE RESTAURANT Date: Thursday Destination: Lydd Airport, We turn off at Junction 10 on the M20 motorway & are on the way to Lydd Airport where the World Dance Organisation are going to be staging a dance music event for thousands of people. Have you ever wondered what actual work goes into an event of this size? Have you ever wondered why events of this size cost £20-£25 per ticket? Well, to answer your questions & to give you a proper behind the scene look at how long everything takes to set up & what has to be done before the doors can be opened to the public. We met Chris & Jay on site & spent the week with them. Throughout this week we saw the event being set up! Thursday 23/3/95 to Sunday 16/3/95. This is the First day of setting up the event & over the next few days Lydd Airport will see over 100 people coming on site & working 10 hours a day until the whole event is ready. When the W.D.O. first found out about Lydd Airport, some 3 years ago the hanger now used for their events was derated, this was because the Airport was not using it & therefore they didn't pay rates on it. After several meetings with the Airports authorities & the local Council they agreed to let World Dance use the Hanger, as long as all the building work that had needed to be done was carried out. This work cost the W.D.O. well over £40,000!. The work they had to carry out was to install 20 fire exits, rebuild the East Wall & Do some general building work around the hanger. World Dance now pay the rates on the Hanger were they hold an event, & as it's no longer suitable for aircraft it has become the home of World Dance. Looking at my watch I notice it is now 10am & two massive artic lorries pull up outside & a team of twenty men begin to unload all the scaffolding and steeldeck staging. My first question was "Why did they need such a large amount of scaffold?" The reply was "For this party we want to make it special, we want to create an arena effect! We are going to construct a Dance Platform which will be 12 foot off the ground, 8 foot wide & 150 foot in length. This has been specially built and you could have elephants standing on it! Brian Heritage is our civil engineer, we come up with the ideas & he designs what we want, so that it complies with all the relevant safety standards." It took a total of 4 days of Hard graft to erect all the dance platforms, stage area & the special platform which is mentioned above. Monday 27/3/95 to 28/3/95 - It is monday morning & the time is 9am. The scaffolding is complete & all that has to be done is the tidying up, which will make it look like professional staging. Three more lorries pull up at 9.30am. One with all the tents on, one with the black surge drape on & the other with a genie boom hydrolic access platform. As soon as everything was unloaded it was straight to work for the tent erectors, they only 3 full days of work to complete their job!! They had to build a Bigger tent this time, as the last one had 10 search lanes, The W.D.O. received several complaints regarding Queuing, so it was to be 14 lanes wide instead of 10. Also, this time they had to erect the refreshments tent more on the concrete than on the grass, & had to drill holes in the concrete to fix the tents down. After the tents had been erected some steel deck staging was placed in the main refreshment tent, so that if anyone wanted to sit down & chill out, on the night of the event, they could do so without having to sit on damp or wet grass. Going back into the main aircraft hanger, there were two guys racing around on the genie access platform with a mission of draping out all of the main arena & the House & Garage Room. They were also on a time limit of only two days & had to drape out both arenas, they will use approximately 300 meters of drape. The main reasons for using the drape is to create a total blackout in the main arena & to help keep the noise inside the hangar. Wednesday 29/3/95- Today was A finishing off day for the drapers & The Tent people! The water board & the electricity board were on site setting everything up. The fencing arrived at about 11am & was put up straight away, there was also deliveries of generators, portable toilets & lighting rigs for the car park Area! The reason the car park area is floodlit is to prevent problems in the car park, on the night of the event. The W.D.O. have 8 car parking attendants who have direct radio contact with the police & the W.D.O.'s security team to ensure that all your cars are safe! On this occasion the W.D.O. have used the airports runway as the car park. (pretty flash!!). All the cars have to be off the runway by 9am, as after that time it will be in use again. The Police arrived next, to set up their compound which consisted of 7 portacabins which were all near the car park side of the Hanger. Then it was on to the portaloos which had to be positioned around the outside of the hanger. World dance even placed two portaloos outside near where the queue was to be, so if any one needed to spend a penny they could do so! The Day was coming to an end & I took this opportunity to find out what World dance's aims were for this event. In the words of chris from the W.D.O. "No expense has been spared on this party! The sound, lighting and production is to the highest standard ever & I really do believe this will be our best event to date. With us, we not only offer good value for money, but we look after the people who attend our events. We have a team of 98 security on site, a full medical centre which consists of a doctor, nurses, 6 paramedics & three ambulances. We have a qualified fire fighting team on site & a large police presence. Our main aims are to make sure that people at our events are safe and that they have a good time. An event of this size takes 3 months to plan & organise, that is why we only do 4-6 events over a year! We estimate that this event will cost approx £110,000 but it will go over as we always over spend! If we wanted to, we could do this event for £75,000 & reduce our ticket price, but then it wouldn't be a WORLD DANCE event! "The waltzer arrives and is contructed within a day!" "The Main

MAKING 23rd March 1995 Lydd, Kent. By Terry Turbo "The Drapers hard at work" When people within the music industry attend they never compare our events with any other rave promoters, they compare us to big concerts like U2 & Pink Floyd. The main reason for this is because everything we use here is state of the art. We have an Intellibeam Laser system which is the most powerful laser to have ever been built for the entertainment industry. Its actually equivalent to 100 watts of argon & Its been split into two 50 watt fibre heads for this event. Wait & see it in action on the night. We are the first people to use this laser system in Europe & when the other promoters see it in action we are sure that it will become widely used in the UK. At this point Chris looks up to the roof & points out some pigeons who are flying around & says "You see those pigeons, they won't be in here on saturday unless they've got tickets!" (We both laugh!) Q. Why do you think you've been so successful as an organisation? A. It's all down to the 6p's - Proper, Planning, Prevents, Piss, Poor, Performance. (try saying that when your pissed) Remember the six P's and you will go a long way! No I'll be honest, we only work with people who we get along well with, all our site crew get on well & no ones got any ego's - not in this organisation. Those are the main reasons along with everything else I have said above. Going back to the event we use a funfair which is supplied by David Irwin, on this event we have a Waltzer, Hearts & Diamonds & A tea cup ride which we brought in for a bit of fun as its the April Fools Ball. We have got to get everything ready for the officials inspections. We have building inspectors, The Environmental Health, Shepway Council Officials, people from the licensing department & The Fire Officer all to satisfy by Friday & they are all at the event throughout the night! Tomorrow the sound, lighting & production teams will be on site to fill you in on anything else you need to know!" On these words we part company until tomorrow. Thursday 30/3/95 - More lorries! Yes! More Lorries but this time they were loaded up with fun fair rides & sound & lighting equipment. With the fun fair side of things, the equipment just folded out except the waltzer which had to be built, this only took a day to do, so by the end of today the Fun Fair would be completed. I strolled over to the sound man who was called Gary, his company is called Kane Green & they are supplying the sound systems in both music arenas. It consisted of 64 Meyer boxes in the main arena. 1/2 were top boxes & 1/2 were bass boxes & 24 E.A.W. boxes for the house room. "The Meyer Sound System we are using here is more efficient & more powerful than most other systems. A lot of promoters put down on their flyers that they have a 100K sound system (This is a blag!) The sound system we are using here would be louder than any of theirs!" said Gary, "No sound system should ever be used to its full capacity as it would hurt people & would damage the speakers! We normally would constantly use the system for 10 to 12 hours. "We will be set up & on line by tomorrow afternoon, so you can hear the system for yourself!" Next stop was SPOT CO. who were doing all the lighting which consisted of 8 x Cyber lights; 14 strobe flowers, 48 track spots, 16 data flashes; one of the most powerful strobe lights in the world, two circular screens which are used to project images on; (around these screens their are 16 data flashes!) a few pin spots; 1 multicolour laser; 1 Intellibeam laser system (Split into two 50 watt fibre heads); All these lights were for the main arena and are all controlled by the Whole Hog (Mk2) which is being used for the first time in Europe at World Dance. Its a super intelligent lighting control desk with the biggest memory system in the world & boasts over 540 channels. This type of desk is needed to control all of the lighting! In the house room there is 8 mark 3 scans & 4 terra strobes. On average it takes two days to do the setting up, programming & a pre-event test of all the lighting equipment! Seven smoke machines have also been bought in & set up with fans alongside to blow the smoke out into the air. These machines are known as cracked oil smoke machines & create a mist in the air, instead of just Smoke blowing out as this disappears very quickly! with the mist of the effect of the smoke in the air is apparent for a lot longer. The site crew are running around moving things around & ensuring that everything is safe for tomorrow as the council will be coming down to inspect everything! Friday 31/3/95 - Everyone is looking at their watches today as everything has to be finished by 2pm. Another lorry, it can't be! Yes it is & this time its stacked up with bottled soft drinks, these are all unloaded and stacked in the drinks tents alongside all the food & cooking equipment! The time is now 12'0clock & the fun fair rides are being safety tested, A team of Security arrive on site to look after all the equipment which is here, until its all taken down which I'm told will be by Tuesday. The whole setting up & taking down of the event actually takes twelve days & as you can see it isn't easy! The Council Officals arrived on site and made their safety checks & passed the event at 3pm today - 1day ahead of the event! All down to the Six P's Chris tells me! Well, what can be said, apart from a maximum respect to Chris & Jay, Brian, Nick & Paul for being splendid hosts & really putting 100% into their event. After seeing it all set up & going to the event, I was totally amazed by what they had actually done, they are setting the standards for others to follow. Anyone who didn't attend this event, check out the next one at Wembley on Saturday June 10th! If anyone tells you the ticket price is to high, remember what your paying for, you are getting your monies worth! Even if the ticket price is £40 Also look out for our next issue with an article on how to get a license for an event of this size.

Helter Skelter Profile BY: TERRY TURBO Here we are at the Heston Services, just off the M4. We have met a friendly chap named David, who runs the 'Helter Skelter' organisation. Sanjay and Geita have cooked us a lovely meal. I had roast chicken, chips and peas, followed by an orange for desert. What did you have David? Dave: Erm! I had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with red sauce and 2 bread rolls. Scene: Pucker, Pucker? Dave: Pucker, Pucker, Pucker! (Fits of laughter) Scene: What is your full name? Dave: David William Buckley Scene: Are we allowed to know your age? Dave: No, not really, alright I'm 27 years old (after being pestered). Scene: Where did the name 'Helter Skelter' come from? Dave: It's a long story. When we done our first event back in 1989 we wanted to call it something but we could not agree on a name! We were doing the party with Eddie Richards who booked all the bands that were coming over from America. At our first event way back in 1989 we had a stage which had a helter skelter built on it. We came up with the Helter Skelter idea as we were involved with the fairground business. It was really mad, we had all the top American House acts like Little Louis & Kim Mazelle performing live on stage with a big helter skelter in the background. From this point Helter Skelter was the name we stuck with. Scene: How did you get involved with putting on events? Dave: My first experience was at an illegal warehouse party round the back of Kings Cross. I went to this party and this bloke I got talking to said that he does these parties and would I like to do a drinks concession so i said "Yes". So I went and got 2 mates cars and spent seven or eight hundred pounds on refreshments. There was me & two car loads of water melons and cans of cokes! We drove to where the party was and the police said "No, it ain't on!" So we went and all just played football with the water melons for two weeks and stored the cokes away till we played football again! (We all laugh!) I basically decided I wanted to do a party, and did it. Scene: How long have you been putting on events? Dave: Since 1989. That was the first one, so all in all this our 6th year! Scene: Who is actually behind Helter Skelter? Dave: Me, Penny, Locker, a guy called Martin, a girl called Fiona and I have a few people that just help us out here and there. Scene: What qualities do you think makes a good promoter? Dave: Someone who has put a bit of thought into their event. Be original & try out new things! These are the main things! Scene: What promoters do you think are doing a good job? Dave: World Dance without a doubt. Look at their last event, really good production, lot's of original ideas, so I would say World Dance definitely! I think they have done one of the best parties this year! Scene: Could you give us an insight into what you've done over the last 6 years with Helter Skelter? Dave: The first event cost us £25,000. We lost on that party. It took me and Penny about one and half years working, doing ten million jobs to pay off all of the debts. I made the mistake of borrowing money off of friends so i had to pay them back, and after that we done a little underground thing called 'OHM' that was in Banbury and when the flyers went out I had the police call me in cos they thought I was organising a buddhist monk thing and we would have thousands of Buddhists coming in to Banbury. They cancelled that and threatened to take the licence off of the guy. Then after that we went to Milwaukees which then was run by ESP. I was doing the sound system for Murray from ESP, I just used to hire it out to him. I done a private party just for a load of friends which was a great success then I just went into the club owner and asked for every other week. From the first party we sold them out. We just slowly built up the reputation of Helter Skelter. After Milwaukee's I got married, went on my honeymoon, then when I came back a new guy had bought the club and they bought it thinking that all the promotion and the full nights would just come automatically. They would not do things, for neither me or Murray and said that we had to work for them. We both pulled out. Murray carried on with his thing and I went and got a licence on a bingo hall which was the only late licenced club in Shropshire. I went to Castle Morten had a wicked time and thought "Hey, I will open this club as 'Gabba Techno' which did not work very well at all out in the sticks so after that we just hired it to Fantazia, Obsession, Quest & Pandemonium. We got our money back, payed the debts off. So after that I done The Sanctuary which went alright, the name got stronger and stronger. That's the story of Helter Skelter. Scene: Have you got any nicknames? Dave: Just call me Boss! That's a good enough name. (We all laugh!) Scene: What is your music policy at Helter Skelter? Dave: Across the board really, that's why we seem to get a good crowd. The DJ's themselves say it does not matter what they play, people react to it and they will dance. They are a very open minded crowd. They all come to dance and have a good time. Scene: Do you have any advice for up and coming promoters? Dave: All I can say is if I knew what I had to do when I started, there is no way I would have ever done it. It's been

such a long road. Be prepared to put at least five or six years in of your life before you start looking at being a success & making any real money. Scene: Do you have merchandise? Dave: Yes, there is a new range coming out, which is designed in conjunction with Pez. We are having designs done that nobody has done before and it will be full colour artwork and embroidery. There will be a proper catalogue, so keep em peeled. (Your eyes that is, not your potatoes!) Scene: What has been your biggest event? Dave: Nearly all of our Sanctuary events sell out. Our first event had 4500 in! We have never gone for anything bigger. Our average attendance at our parties is roughly 3000 people. Scene: What music do you personally listen to? Dave: Across the board. I listen to Techno, Hardcore, Jungle, James Brown, Tracey Chapman, basically all sorts of things really! Scene: Do you have any resident DJ's or MC's that you use for every party? Dave: We use Man Parris as an MC. He has never really got work in London but I think he is as good as anyone in the country. On the DJ side we have the Musicmaker & Grooverider who have played at most of our parties. Scene: Why do you think Helter Skelter has been so successful? Dave: A lot of work goes on behind the scenes that a lot of people don't see. The promoter gets the credit but there is a lot of other people involved. There is a hard working team of people, you could say for a ten hour event at The Sanctuary, there is eight weeks work before that & ten hours on the night and a month after! So there is 3 months work involved. We always try new things. We do put twice as much sound in the venue so you can get a good clear all round sound. We have worked along side ESP, Fantazia, Quest, Obsession, Dance Trance and seen how they do things. Scene: With demo tapes if a DJ or MC wanted to get a booking from you, what would you say would be the best way to go about it, is pestering you a good idea or not? Dave: Not really no (laughter) the best way to do it, is to send a tape in on a regular 6-8 week basis! Please make sure you have your phone number on the tape and if there is anything a little bit special then you will get bookings from it. Scene: How do you get rid of a DJ if he begins to get on your nerves? Dave: We point and say "Oi, you DJ no!" (We all burst out laughing!) Scene: What is the best thing about putting on an event and being a promoter? Dave: The satisfaction of knowing that you have staged a good party. Also when you have a full house & you can see the crowds rocking. The other thing is the money! Scene: What is the worst thing? Dave: Pressure and stress. Certain DJ's when you book them for 4 or 5 years! When they are quite wealthy already & they fuck off to Australia when they have been booked for 6 weeks. People having no principals & no morals is another bad thing! Scene: What has been one of your funniest moments? Dave: I was flyering down at The Que Club last year there was this guy about 4ft tall and he too was flyering. Anyway we are all stood in the que, and we stood right at the front of the doors just as people came out. This great big geezer, must have been about 7ft said "Let me stand there and hand my flyers out, don't say a word". This little guy turns around and says "What". Then goes 'Wallop' and puts him out clean on his arse and said "When he wakes up tell him 1992 judo champion". A couple of nights later I was down at 'Quest' in Birmingham and this same guy stood right at the front again, must have got there nice and early. Everyone was just coming out and this great big geezer walks up to the front again and said "Let me stand there, don't say a word". So the little fella goes 'Wallop' and knocks the big guy clean out, turns around and said "When he wakes up, tell him 1993 boxing champion". Two weeks later we are down at a 'One Nation' event at The Rocket and we were flyering so again we see this little guy standing by the front doors and who should turn up but this big guy who walked straight up to the little guy and said "You, get out the F---king way, and don't say a word", so the little guy goes 'Wallop' yet again and knocked the big fella clean out! The little guy turns around to us and said "When he wakes up tell him 1995 kickboxing champion". By now we are pissing ourselves with laughter. A couple of nights later we are outside a Jungle Fever event at The Sanctuary. So this little guy is standing there again flagging when through the crowd came this big stomping fella yet again. The little fella's seen him turned around and gone 'Wallop' knocked this great big geezer clean out on the floor. He then looked around at all of us and said "When he wakes up, tell him 1945 Morris Minor starting handle". Scene: What is your current view of the scene? Dave: I think the scene is good, at the moment I think everybody needs to stick together. All the promoters, DJ's, record labels, flyering companies all need to get their heads down and work together. That is what makes things strong. Scene: What are your plans for the future? Dave: What starting from now? It's 4.10pm now I have 45 minutes to do 1½ hour journey so my immediate future is get in my car, and drive quickly all the way home. Other than that I have some more events planned at The Sanctuary as well as a few other projects for this year. Scene: Any shouts Dave: I want to say a big booyaka to Raymond the dancer. A big shout to all the people behind Helter Skelter, to all the people who come to our events – you put us where we are today. To all the DJ's and MC's who played for us and all other promoters who are doing a good job out there. Scene says: Don't forget to look out for future events by the awfully nice helter skelter crew. Much gratefulness to David for taking time out of his busy schedule! RRREEESSSPECCT!! THE SCENE MAGAZINE 39

DREAMSCAPE On Saturday March 11th 1995 By Donna Dolan After being excited all day that Saturday had finally arrived, we made sure we was at the Sanctuary for 8pm, It was raining so my hair didn't stand a chance, but luckily there wasn't a queue for the girls so we walked straight in. The security women searched us quickly but thoroughly, although their rubber gloves were off putting. Once in we found that we had to queue again to get into either arena as they only had one door open for each, I soon forgot this as I walked into arena one, The Sanctuary. The DJ Stand was in the centre with massive drop screens displaying brilliant images. We made our way upstairs to the techno room where the cloakroom was situated. Yet again another queue. Finally at 8.30 we were dancing and the atmosphere grew as the room filled with Happy Ravers. After about an hour we made our way to Arena two, Rollers, and we had to queue again for quite a while. Rollers was amazing, they had certainly learnt from their mistakes on new years eve. It was full of Lasers, noise and yet more happy people. There was a big chill out area and plenty of platforms to express yourself on. The security seemed less extensive in the Rollers which made the Atmosphere electric. I much prefer Happy to Jungle which meant following the DJ's I liked, unfortunately they were in separate arenas, perhaps if one arena was hardcore and the other Jungle then I could have got settled. In the Sanctuary they had two Foam machines which were great but they could have been bigger and covered every one. The ambulance people I saw were very friendly and down to earth, but the security, especially in the Girls toilet, were very off putting and stern, this is totally unnecessary and makes you feel like a criminal. I really enjoyed the night and left at 6:30am, I'd danced my socks off and met loads of new people. I'd like to say thanks to the mates I was with for making it an enjoyable one, and I must give my love to Slipmatt, the best DJ, and Vibes and Dougal for their wicked display of talent. Shout to Norbert, Carlo, Kate and Trisha!

On a Jungling Expedition By Devious D Hello again, it's me Devious D. First of all I would like to apologise for not writing my column in the last Scene Magazine, but as you would appreciate I have been away to Germany and Canada, thoroughly enjoying myself, so for this issue I would like to tell you all about it and give you an insight into what we encountered on our travels. Week 1 It all started on Friday March 3rd. I hopped onto the plane and travelled to Frankfurt, Germany to play at a club called the 'Basement'. We arrived on the same day that I was supposed to play so I did not get much time to see the town and only managed to get a couple of hours rest in the hotel that I was booked into. After a few hours of watching dodgy German television (have you ever seen that stuff? Eastenders with Klaus Beale, very strange). I was met by Christian the promoter and taken to the club. On our arrival to the club we bumped into the police who had turned away approximately two hundred people (Don't worry folks, we put our brakes on, and I apologised) which was a downer as the club was only small and was the only one in the immediate area playing Jungle. Anyway, once inside the club I found a huge capacity of 500 halved, but everyone who was there inside was raving as if it was the last rave of their lives. (They were having it!) The DJ's playing were locals and had the crowd moving nicely to tunes that you would of heard here about four months ago. The two MC's of the night, both to my surprise chatted in English, in fact everyone spoke English and even the flyer was mainly in English (so now I got thinking, if everyone in Germany speaks English, why put Eastenders on the telly in German!). Anyway after half an hour of trying to order a drink at the bar from the only person who did not speak English, the barmaid, I went on to the set greeted by a cheer and played a mixture of Jump Up Jungle (X Project Style) and Drum and Bass. This sent the locals wild and gagging for more which in the end lengthened my set from 2hrs to 3hrs long. To sum up, all in all excellent event although the venue was not packed. PS: Why does everyone in Germany drive at 120mph on the motorways? Week 2 Friday March 10th I find myself in the company of Stevie Hyper D and The Madness of Nicky Blackmarket as we are all to travel together to Toronto, Canada to play for Delirium Promotions at a rave called 'Goldfinger'. After a long eight hour flight and being close to suicide, which was not very nice we arrived in Toronto to be greeted with weather that would freeze the balls off a brass money, let's say it was colder than expected. As our flight had been delayed we arrived way behind schedule and as soon as we arrived we were picked up by the Delirium crew who wisked us straight off to the local TV station (Electric Cafe), which is a cross between 'the Word' and 'Top of the Pops'. On this show we were to be interviewed about the Jungle scene, and also play on various sections of the show. After being briefed about the show which was going to be shown live we had forty five minutes left to check into our hotel, change and eat! This amount of time was obviously not enough as Stevie almost cut his head off shaving. (Ha! Ha!) Once we had eaten and met Marcus (Delirium Promoter) and the rest of the Delirium crew we returned to the 'Electric Cafe'. A few minutes before the show was about to start. On our arrival there was a large crowd gathering outside the studios waiting for the show to start. This was quite a shock, as we thought the show was not that popular. But after enquiring we found out that approximately 9 million people in America and 6 million in Canada tune in weekly (gulp). The show contained a lot of live dancers to music videos and the presenter talking to the crowd outside. In our interview we briefly spoke about Jungle music, but we did manage to get a plug in for 'Delirium', which was the main reason for us appearing on the show. After the show, even though we were all very tired and

jet lagged we found a small club in the town centre where we all had a few drinks and a laugh with Marcus and the Delirium crew. The next day (the day of the rave) we woke up around three o'clock in the afternoon and explored the towns massive shopping precinct. We found one of Toronto's record stores that sold Jungle music, X Static Records was the name. This shop was very much up to date and had an unbelievable selection of tapes for sale which included nearly every Jungle DJ known here. After a good look around the town and taking loads of pictures (looking like tourists) we found a very interesting bar so we thought we would pop in for a while. We ended up staying for three hours, for reasons knowingly to Stevie, Nicky and myself. I cannot say what happened here but Nicky was in a trance. (Oi! Oi!) Anyway on to the rave, arriving at the site which was an industrial estate we found the venue to be disued paper factory, it was about the size of The Sanctuary, Milton Keynes. The place was mobbed not to capacity but there was well over two thousand people inside. The Delirium crew had an average light show but the sound system was awesome, which Nicky Blackmarket took full advantage of and blasted the crowd with a stunning set. Stevie 'Hyper' set the standard for others to follow with a bombardment of lyrics which left the crowd screaming for more. Myself, playing straight after gave the crowd a smashing London style selection of tearing tunes that spoke for themselves. Finishing off Nicky and Myself played an extra 'Back to Back' which was great, with Stevie Hyper D bubbling along with us. All in all we had an excellent night and maximum respect to Marcus and The Delirium crew, Lav & Laz for looking after us. Extra special shouts to Nick 'Mad' Blackmarket and Stevie Hyper D for a proper weekend, also thanks to Nicky Ton Promotions for pulling their hair out and sorting everything. Look out for my Jungle column in next month's Scene Magazine. Watch out for Jungle Island at The Island in Ilford every Thursday, DJ's on rotation will be Hype, Ron, Kenny Ken, Brockie, Rap, Ellis D, Darren Jay, Andy C, Nicky 'Blackmarket', Crossfader & Myself, the club starts on Thursday 13th April.

JUNGLE FEVER! - The Wild Cats Back - The Wild cats were definitely back in force for the first Jungle Fever of the Year. Forget the run up to Christmas, with parties popping up like nobodies business, forget the run up to New Years Eve and beyond, Jungle Fever were back to prove that when it comes to holding a party like Roast, Desert Storm and Telepathy, to name but a few, no one else comes close. Well I had planned to go up to Jungle Fever for ages. this was to be one of the biggest, one of the baddest, baddest "Jungle Fever's" ever conceived!! and the line up spoke for itself. It was to be held at The Sanctuary, Denbeigh Leisure Centre, V7 Saxon St, Milton Keynes on the 18th March 1995. I left for the couple of hours drive to Milton keynes, after picking up my friends, I got ready to have one of the best nights ever planned. When we got there you could not find anywhere to park, the car parks, the roads and the other car parks were all packed. I arrived at half past one, the queue was still huge, and grabbed my guestlist tickets and walked to the door. Fever had a huge security order that night, with their own security firm on hand, so that everyone had a good time, at one of the busiest fevers ever. The security that night had to be one of the best organised security firms ever used for a dance party of that size. After doing all the business getting through the metal detectors and the full search, it was time to go into the main hall for a dance. When you got into the main hall, you could'nt move for people. The place was rammed full of people, no matter what race, colour or creed, which I was well pleased to see. On the decks were Micky Finn & Darren Jay, who ripped up the Dance hall with all the best jungle which was equally complemented by Mcs : 5ive O - Moose - Det - Rema Dee & The Ragga Twins. " Jungle Fever seen, time to start the New Year Off properly. Jungle Fever bringing you into the '95 year, seen" Mc 5ive O - Jungle Fever '95 Everywhere I walked that night there was X amount of niceness, and no bad attitude, which was good. I could not help walking into loads of people that I knew from other places that I had been to. I spent most of the night talking to people, when all I wanted to do was dance. Next stop was upstairs provided by the DJ's from Kool Fm, playing was the DJ Crazy Legs, he played some of the hypest dubs making the crowd call for the rewind over and over again!! I stayed upstairs a while and then decided to go out on the balcony. The light systems and all the action on stage had to be seen to be believed, the amount of lasers and stagelights, produced an excellent lighting show. The Mc's made sure that everybody had the energy to keep dancing all night and they made sure they did. Back in the hit squad arena, DJ Ash was smashing up the place playing the usual style of Kool Fm breaks & beats. I started to get restless, as i didn't have much sleep the night before, so I went back downstairs to chill out for a while. I couldn't believe that there were people still trying to get in to one of the most successful Jungle Fever's ever held. I started to talk to more people and wasn't surprised to hear that Jungle Fever had sold out a couple of weeks before, and people were still trying to get in & were paying large amounts of money to get in on the action. Back inside, the place started to get overwhelmed by the celebrity massive, also trying to get in on the action. Everywhere you looked there were famous people in the Jungle Scene:- Marvellous Cain, Sponge, Rude Bwoy Monty, Brett and Kenny and Goldie, to name but a few. When I went back inside, on the decks was Kenny "Champion of Champions" Ken and the "Too Hot to Handle" DJ Randall, and may I say a large big up to the Kenny ken & Randall as your sets were bad!!! " Turn it up!!! Can the speaker take the bass!! Turn It Up!!! Can the speaker take the pace!!" Mc Moose - Jungle Fever Back upstairs & playing in the second arena was Rodney T who played a wicked set, that is where I spent the rest of the night, because every tune and every mix was absolutely "D" for Dangerous. Well done boyz you've done it again. This was a party well worth going to. Respect to Ivan, Phil and Smurf for a most enjoyable night. Big up Sally, Terry, Danny "Big up", Minty, Royston and Adrian, The Helter Skelter Boyz, Chris, John, Gaby, Kelly and Emma (United Dance) and everyone in Andover. A special hello to Helen, Jayne and DJ (Dan) Levi, and the DJ Randall.
