BACK STORY:
After hosting numerous international DJ's & running some pretty big raves at central pier and some other iconic rave locations around Melbourne, Simon & Steve were constantly being told by nearly every DJ they hosted, how unique & mesmerising Melbourne dancers were, no where in the world had any of them seen the moves or the enthusiasm of the Melbourne shufflers.
Steve, Will & Simon held numerous discussions on the topic raised by their international guests & toyed with the idea of running a small party dedicated to those that made the local scene, the DJ's & in the spotlight, the shufflers.
Steve started the ball rolling by putting it out there through his weekly radio slot on Kiss FM, the response was pretty good, Simon then contacted Matt at in the mix & a modest campaign targeting melbournes core of shufflers.
A date was set, Dream nightclub was booked & the result is what you see in this short video.
It was an effort to capture a time in Melbournes underground culture of the time, the music that moved people, the ambience of the dance floor & the shufflers that simply blew away so many of our international guests.
At the time of writing this, its been 18 years & everyone in these images is that much older, many will have kids & are doing the daily grind. I hope that some of them see themselves here & that it puts a smile on their faces.
I know for a fact that all who were involved in the Melbourne shuffle parties, who see the two videos we produced, we look back and we all smile at the good times & incredibly friendly people we met there.
The three tracks played here are.
Danilo Vigoroto - Pression (B1)
Woody McBride - Off The Ceiling (Advent Remix)
Filter Science - Darkness Falls (Joey Beltram Remix)
