Autumn Equinox

Saturday 20 March 2004, The Willows
4 years, 18 weeks, 5 days ago

Here is a review from Tom @ The package:

For the past 7 years, MASSIVE have been upholding the Christchurch dance culture with an emphasis on producing parties rather than profit, This "doin' it for the love of it" attitude was warmly felt at this Autumn's Equinox.

With a handful of materials and a tonne of creative talent, the many dance enthusiasts of MASSIVE created an impressive backdrop of fire dance & sculpture. A mammoth bonfire and a two storey high UFO DJ booth sent a sparkling array of lights like electrical impulses through the trees, setting the scene for the enjoyable and diverse selection of dance music. Top quality Breakbeat, D&B, Jungle, Prog & Psy gave something for everyone. All in all it was one of those parties that you just had to have been there to understand why I give it a 10 out of 10. MASSIVE, I shall eagerly be awaiting your next production. Cheers.
