ravin up ATM's H20

reiko · May 28, 2001

wow...what a party.
A big thanks to the promoters for putting on a great event with fantastic dj's *lab 4 was absolutely amazing!*, fun decor *way to go smokee*, and of course lots of familiar faces.

The best part of the night though, was definitely the 'jacuzzi-Corona' after party...let's hear a round of applause for Sara! girl, you know how to do it up!

And it was great meeting you Rob *astroboY*, hopefully next time we'll actually get a chance to talk...

Goodtimes-a-plenty. oh yes.

I had a great time, wasn't quiet what I had expected but I had a great time non the less. I could have done without all HHC but hey, thats just personal preference. I am not the biggest jungle fan but Swift and Ellis dee were great. I wish there could have been more breaks. A lot more

. And I was really dissapointed that I didn't get to hear Robb G spin. Czech was alright but nothing overly impressive. Guess I have seen him one too many times. And as for Lab 4...OMG that was fuckin great. That's the kinda shit that makes you dance non stop all night. The general vibe of the party was great. I met a lot of really cool people and thanks for making my night so great. Finally got to hook up and party with that cutie JEN !!

She is so damn cute. *Pounce*. We didn't find each other till near the end of the night but we still got to hang out for a bit. And to her cute friend Jess, I told yeah I'd give ya the hugest hug. I hope your doing better

Mwahs to the both of yah. Overall I had a great time...the people had a big part to do with that...thank you again Atm...love you guys.

if the whole world came to a burning, exploding firery end right after ATM, i wouldve died a happy person. HHC TO THE MAX!!!!!
alright..i was working the door most of the nite, but i positioned myself strategically enuff so i could still hear the music nice and clearly. To start the excellence off-D-minus and Hujib..with some sweet sweet 4/4 beats..Frisky and Frolic-fucking wikkid, and like joey said-the original version of Children of the Night...awww....yummers..and then, as if there was no possible way the fabulous nite of HHC could get any better..DJ Stompy and D'Skys took to the decks-and they played Pacific Sun-which is only the best HHC song in the ENTIRE world..then they continued to play every well known-and well loved HHC anthem for the rest of their set. *sigh* what a glorious evening...

and although not hardcore- Beaker and Subsonic Chronic...HELLO!!! what a fucking amazing set. Well done guys...Awesome tracks, flawless (well as far as i could tell anyways

) mixing...shit..thats some good stuff. Matt-this is two parties in a row you blew me completely away..I'm so impressed..well done hun

and of course the rest of the party and the decorations were nothing short of outstanding..congrats Robb and Chris..another ATM that didnt fail to impress

Musical Rush · May 28, 2001

For Rob (astroboy)I'm not the one spreading the bullshit,I said that in here to get the truth from you.Now that I know the truth I'll tell that person to go fuck themself.I see you in here replying back more often then in other boards,so that's why I said it in here.As you can see on page 1 I gave the party a great review and I even stuck up for you guys at the end of page 1...YOUR WELCOME...So no problem here

..I've been to every ATM party you guys have ever thrown and this is how you treat your loyal customers?(not that you knew I've been to every party but now you do)

I sat in the office with 5 cops as well as teh club management and managed to convince them not to shut the entire party down at 4am...

next time you wanna come off as if you know something, MAKE SURE IT'S NOT BULLSHIT....

Astroboy out...

that's crazy!! I'd be pissed! I just feel sorry for u guyz, that u were forced to shut it down early. I know i might have complained about the breakz room b4, but it was all toward the venue management.....not u!! I always have a wikkid time at ATM parties, and it's SO true...u guyz always do keep the line-up fresh and sweet. Thanx!

ATM = very good times for me.

Hadn't listened to hhc, or trance in a rellie long time... and I wasn't sure what being at an all hhc/trance/jungle party would be like - but I seemed to have a pretty awesome time none the less.

Altho upon entry, the security seemed a little sketchy (one was sucking on a lollipop - while the other told me if I had any needles/knives in my bag I should tell her now because she'd get me later ... HELLO! I'm like 5'2 , a very innocent looking little girl - like Im carrying around needles and knives with me) - they searched me for like 5-10 minutes? Meh .. it was no matter. I didnt have anything on me .. so like I rellie cared.

Was sorta bored at first, but as soOn as the bar opened up (haha - the pure alcoholics crew Sean, Corey, Shann and myself along with many others - I think I do recall seeing Chris in that line) I had fun times indeed. It was Fawn and Ama bonding night, and boy did we get drunk fast. Buying 2 Revs at a time .. and jus drinking lots and lots. Mmmmmmm alcohol. It's become my new best friend (but not in any way)...

I think I spent most of the night in the 19+ area, jus drinking and hangin out with some friends. The only sets that rellie had my ass shaking were SubsOnic Chronic (the lesbian magnet) , DJ X and well after that - the night is a little foggy. All in all I had a great time tho, music or not. ATM always offers and delivers with their parties... so I was not let down in any sort of way.

The only thing that was not coOl (and didnt have anything to do w/ ATM) was the price in the bar (like Robb mentioned $7.50 for a Rev? thats fucking ridiculous) and the goddamned lineup to get into the bar area. Like wholy fucking shit, I think I waited almost 15 minutes one time jus to get upstairs. Then they decided to shut it down early (whuteva) ... and I left my bag up there ( I ran downstairs to take a lil' *pee pee* break) ... the guy fuckin wouldnt let me upstairs. I begged and pleaded, and finally got to go upstairs ... got my sweater whuteva. I had smuggled a Rev downstairs with me, and then he gave me this dirty loOk and kiked me outta the 19+ area ... boo on that.

ANYHOW.

ATM was rellie good times.
They always deliver on Vibe.
Music.
Everything.
Robb and Chris truly care about this company more than anything.
And again, a job well dOne.

musical rush: I was only referring to the needle pricking incident which is a rave urban legend and had never EVER been documented to have happened...

my apologies if I came off harsh...things like that just get to me...

Astroboy out...

green_souljah · May 28, 2001

Its all been said.

Lab 4 kicked ass....as did Beaker.....as did Swift.

It was my first ATM party and overall I was very impressed by the production.
The decor in the trance room was reminiscent of a psychedelic trance gathering (which u dont really see elsewhere)

As far as the jungle room goes....isnt lack of lighting and decor part of the whole new gangsta aproach of the jungle community?
Not being a smartass...cuz I love jungle...its just I havent seen a jungle party decorated since....like 98 maybe?

Anyways....the problems that happened on Sat nite were strictly the venues and not the promoters...
so good work ATM
and you will see me at the next one

Oh yeah I paid the $40 at the door and was quite expecting it to be that.
If tickets at ticketmaster were $34.50 then $40 at the door really isnt that outrageous

Lab-4 was worth every penny

Yet you still manage to have a good time?
Ever stop to think that talent costs alot of money? wait..I don't need to go there, this discussion seems to boil up every single time you attend an event. Maybe you shouldn't go anymore? Why not throw house parties? You can "rave" it up there! haha.
and for free. then you don't have to pay $40 at the door instead of buying an advanced ticket! Cuz of course, the talent that was booked for ATM was cheap!

Sorry for the negative post peeps, but someone always has to be a little spoilt "raver."

WHOA WHOA WHOA! Where the fuck do you get off? I'm sorry, I don't remember the last time that i ever complained about prices at a party...at least not in a REALLY long time. ALL I've been going to lately is club nights where it's like, $10 at the door. "Everytime I attend an event"?? You're keeping track on what i go to?

Do nothing but complain ALL the time?? How about this...go check out all my reviews in the past few months, (there are quite a few i can assure you) and pick apart all the times i've complained as opposed to going on about how amazing a particular night was. I *rarely* complain, and when i do it's usually more than justified. Do supporters of a party not have a voice anymore to address their concerns without being accused of being spoiled?? What the fuck?

Read my first review of this party. Was there any complaining? No. The party itself was fantastic... and that's what I chose to address first and foremost, cause it's what's most important to me.

My "complaint" about the prices later on was a simple question. Asking for a little clarification, because as far as I can remember, I could not remember ever spending that much money for a party of that nature, with that amount of talent, in that size of venue, etc etc etc.... Even the advance tickets were more pricey than I've gotten used to seeing. Is it too much to ask for an explination? MANY people were complaining in line about the prices. Not just me.

However, my questions were answered by promotors (in a very mature fashion, i may add), and everything has been cleared up.

Forgive me if I decided to rock the boat a little and question where my money is going.

~Loress~ · May 28, 2001

I'm sorry but I have to agree with Tina on this one. All she did was ask a simple question (that most people were too fucking scared to ask), and people start calling her names and getting REALLY defensive. WTF? No need to get so defensive people...JACK IT DOWN!!!!!!

tamarin · May 28, 2001

hey all,

well i have to say that this was a great party all round...cant say much about what went on in the main room but it looked like it was hopping....

jungle/breaks room was wikked except for the fact that there was no ventilation

...mampi swift laid down an amzing set and thank god the amp got fixed....

lsd was good, ive never seen him before but was quite impressed...

czech what can i say..you fuckin rock, great set that got everybody movin and groovin

...

shitty about robb g not playing,

my fun factor for this party 8 out of 10

glad the PTCollective got party together again

Musical Rush · May 29, 2001

For (Rob) I understand totaly about being upset about that B.S ..I read it in the Toronto Raves board page 2 ATM review ..I should have e-mailed you to find out instead of posting it in here.Anyway I had a great time Lab 4 was your birthday present to me .I hope you plan on bringing these crazy boys back to town sometime in the future.They were incredable and I got to chat to them at ascenion ,they are the nicest guys you could ever meet.If anyone had the chance to talk to them you know what I mean.(back to the sick bed damn cold I got from all the kisses I got for my birthday on Saturday ) whoo hooo **cough cough**

Therapist [not TheRapist] · May 29, 2001

Seems like everything has been said already!

Spinsah! I am so sorry You got kicked out. I'm sure LAB 4 will be back in Tdot soon enuff tho! I know nothing can be said to make you feel better. I know You were one of the few that knew exactly what to expect from this party. I feel for you man!

LAB 4 - helped me to achieve the ultimate natural high. I have never danced my sober ass off harder than btween 3 and 4 am that night. Masive respect to the two black magic wizards! "Concept of Love" and "Candyman" were the two insane highlights of the night.

AT-AT and Otis - delivered a stellar 25 minutes of hard driving beats, and unfortunatelly were not allowed to polish it off with some massive epic they had planned! It was awesome to see You two connect so well on the decks - the samples were worked in to perfection!

Stompy & D'skys - since I missed Matt's and Pete's set these guys get spot #3. Made me remember why I did like HHC back in 97-98, you know the plastic, unnatural fuckin' smile this music puts on your face?... yuck - I got something to that effect on Saturday... yuck, I said!!!

Thanx to Robb and Chris for putting this very well organised event together. The production was wicked and you again brought in some fresh talent for us to see. Cant respect that enough!

I'm sorry that Tina's trying to bitch you out for $40 price at the door

I will never get her on the stage again, I promise!

Tina - $30 in advance has $40 at the door written all over it, aight?! So stop your bitchin gurl, you should have xpected that!

Luv'n'Respect,

M.

You complained at our party for crying out loud not so long ago.. just a month ago, prolly the last party u went to.

blah blah blah

KiX · May 29, 2001

*sigh* Listen. All i did was compare this party with a party of a similar nature. Take this coming or last soundclash. Just as many out of town headliners, same venue....yet the price is $8 cheaper for earlybirds, and still less for regular advance tickets.

I just asked a question. It wasn't even just about the door prices..the OVERALL price...not just at the door but EVEN advance was more than I was used to.

I WAS JUST INQUIRING FOR FUCKS SAKE! Hoooly! Anyways, yes, I am a spoiled raver. Yes, I will unjustly complain at anything and everything I can, because NOTHING makes me happier. I am a terrible terrible raver for asking questions, I'm sure the rave gods will punish me somehow.

Roches581 · May 29, 2001

green_souljah: the fishes motif has been done. a lot. "under the sea" for example, and a couple other parties ive been to.. forget which ones.

if there are fishes, people will steal them. that is how it works.

true that jungle parties dont usually get decorated... i think the last next junction was. oh, and some big buds, if you count that 20 foot long blatant drug reference.

I don't see how an empire party can possibly be compared to ATM. Its not justified to compare a party that brings in as many DIFFERENT big names and doesn't ram the party to the tits like every empire party does.

ATM doesn't skimp on anything, period. You have no idea how much time and money robb and chris invest into each of their events. I don't think there is a company out there that tries to throw genuinely innovative parties with unique music and great decor, the fruit, etc, etc, etc.

Its just ignorance to compare that to a party where its packed to the tits with sweaty junglists and a couple of lights and maybe some pot and skull related decor just to make things interesting.

To the dude who got kicked out, yeah it sucks that you did, but I still don't undertand when people are going to figure out that doing ALL drugs is illegal, despite the fact you're at a rave. Security guards aren't dicks if you treat them with respect. Bribing them pisses them off even more, and if you've been caught doing something illegal its time to take responsibilities for their actions. Its their job to inforce rules.

One comment I have on the party was that to me, the irresponsible drug use I saw everywhere was out of control. It scared the begeezsus out of me.
