Evolution together with Rise and
Future Entertainment presents the
SLINKY AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2001
featuring DJs Taucher (Germany), Mario Piu (Italy),
Garry White (UK Slinky Resident)
Wednesday 26th September 2001 • 9pm - 6am
Rise & Base • corner James & Lake Streets, Northbridge
By popular demand, following its sensational appearance at Two Tribes in
March this year, Slinky returns in its own right to Australia. There are
only a handful of “superclub” brands in the world, and Slinky is most
definitely one of them. Their mega-successful Friday nights in
Bournemouth and their weekly residencies in both Bristol and Leicester
are some of the biggest club nights in the UK.
The club is not only known for its huge, mentally-hectic club nights
though - Slinky also continually pumps out a phenomenal number of
high-charting CD releases worldwide. Slinky, to date, has released eight
albums in its short but glorious four year history. This includes the
“Super Club DJ’s” series which has featured many superstar DJs. Equally
well-received though were its pumping trance CD’s such as “Slinky
presents Planet Moscow” and the release for this tour “Planet Sydney” .
Standing out from the bunch of pedestrian UK clubs, Slinky’s legendary
status has been achieved through its life-affirming, hands-in-the-air
celebration of the power of dance music. Its weekly DJ roster includes
the biggest names in the world today as the club strives for perfection
in everything it does ? and it will be no exception as Slinky gives you
a night out you will remember for the rest of your life.
DJ Taucher
Taucher has been busy conquering the world of trance from his Frankfurt
base with brilliant releases and exceptional DJ sets since 1992. His
name means ‘diver’ in German, acquired after wearing a scuba outfit to a
local club. Alongside Paul Van Dyk, Taucher is one of the few German
greats on the worldwide trance scene, and there’s probably not a single
respected techno/trance club in the world in which Taucher has not
performed - and performance is what it’s all about as Taucher has far
more talent in him than just being a DJ. He’s an acrobat who can hang
upside down from the ceiling to work the turntables, a performance
artist who may change his outfit up to ten times during his set, and a
dancer who’ll climb up on the DJ console to execute ballet-like forms
which his party guests imitate. Always in command and always on the
wavelength of his audience, DJ Taucher’s a man who keeps finding new
ways to surprise the crowd and place them under his spell.
Mario Piu
Named ‘Best Techno DJ’ at the latest Italian Dance Awards, Mario Piu has
also been dubbed “The Italian Fatboy Slim” due to his extraordinary
creativity and talent. He is one of those famous DJ’s from Toscana who
contributed to the growing popularity of dance music in Italy, but his
sound is appreciated right across Europe, taking part in the most
important events in England, Germany, Holland and Switzerland. During
the week Mario works in the Media Records Studios, playing the most
important Italian and foreign clubs on the weekends. His latest releases
include the collaboration with Mauro Picotto for “Arabian Pleasure” and
the remix of DJ Taucher’s “Science Fiction”. Prior to these, releases
like “Techno Harmony” and “Questions” came out under the M-Plus moniker.
While other tracks have inlcuded “The Vision”, “Love Game” and the track
dedicated to the Metempsicosi Club in Florence, “Matrix” and the big hit
“Communication” which sat at top 5 in the UK national charts.
Garry White
Garry White instinctively knows just what his audience wants, and is
always prepared to give it to them - and then a little bit more. He’s a
man of true passion who artistically understands his music and can blend
and twist every last ounce out of every tune that he delivers to his
dance floor. Creatively and technically Garry is a master of the
turntables, as his last four Slinky compilation albums testify. Garry’s
unique blend of quality underground and uplifting progressive trance has
gained him many industry admirers, and complimenting his outstanding DJ
abilities is his increasing list of impressive production/remix credits.
Garry has been producing music for the past six years under various
guises, his latest release, “Precious” as Lowfields, providing the
kick-start for the new Slinky ‘Sneaky’ label. As Yekuana and Northface
he has delivered pure musical quality with inclusions on compilations
from the likes of Sasha, Digweed, Renaissance and Ministry of Sound.
Setting the standard in mid-week clubbing, Rise follows on from the
incredibly successful GodsKitchen, Independance and Love Parade tours
and continues its run of Wednesday night events with Slinky on the 26th
of September. For the first time Rise and Base will be operating
together to create a two room superclub experience with the cream of
international DJing talent playing in the Rise main room supported by
Choice vs Jayd. Meanwhile local lads Dazz*K, El Hornet and Krank vs
Skelly will bring the beats without a break in the super-chilled and
refined atmosphere of Base lounge.
