WELCOME TO HELTER SKELTER
Over the past decade, overdrive.com.au, Independent Reflections and Scattered have presented Sydney with some of the most memorable events in Sydney's history. From complete sellouts of the Macquarie University Atrium to the largest international rave DJ event ever held (at the gigantic E.G. Whitlam Centre). From the running of some of Sydney's most successful club nights (Progress, Generator, Logic, Thursday Delights, Institution and many more) right through to some of Sydney's craziest warehouse events, this collaboration of the most forward-thinking promoters in Sydney is what dreams are made of, and the event that we've come together for is your dreams come true. At Helter Skelter you will party with 5 of the hottest international acts in the world, 50 of the Countries most talented DJ's and live acts, located inside and around a massive warehouse complex that is surrounded by a huge open air chillout with carnival area, free rides, merchandising stalls, and much, much more. Sydney... This is as BIG as it gets!!!
VENUE INFORMATION
The Sydney Showground at Olympic Park have come to be known as NSW's premier party venue, and this is because it can be described with only one word: ENORMOUS. Most large scale events have the one main room and then smaller "secondary" arenas to cater for the multiple styles of music. At Helter Skelter, we are proud to present not one but TWO main arenas, the overdrive.com.au arena and the Sundissential arena, both of equal size in terms of room and production. Both the main arenas are bigger than 6 full size Basketball courts, and that's only 2 of the 4 arenas in operation on the night. The ceiling height of the main arenas are some 30ft each, with massive beams crossing the ceiling, which are perfect for positioning giant moving lighting and laser rigs. The outdoor area is also gigantic, with a capacity for several thousand people. The venue complex has several unique chillout areas, full hot and cold food service all night, drinks and glowstix stands, clean toilet blocks around the venue and so much more that we can't include it all here. This is quite simply the ultimate venue for an event the size and scale of Helter Skelter.
PRODUCTION SPECS ::: LIGHTS & SOUND
Helter Skelter is set to have one of the wildest lighting and sound installations in the history of Australian Dance Parties. BLM Productions are the absolute leaders in the supply and operation of event production at almost every major Sydney dance party. For Helter Skelter, Brian, Ian and the guys from BLM will be installing an enormous amount of lighting, sound and laser technology, and programming it to produce an atmosphere more intense and more explosive than ever before. The World's leading state-of-the-art moving and intelligent lights, along with a massive install of effect and blinder heads, all brought together with some of the country’s biggest lighting rigs. Prepare yourself, as Helter Skelter is set to blow your mind.
PRODUCTION SPECS ::: LASERS & VISUALS
Helter Skelter is a Production Manager’s wildest dream, with a massive installation set to produce one of the most spectacular 3-dimensional full colour laser shows that any dance event could possibly provide. Supporting the massive laser feast will be huge visual display screens, showing world class footage and computer generated images from all over the globe. With Australia's number 1 laser operator at the helm you can be assured of a show that will have you talking about the event for months, if not years, to come. The laser and mirror show itself is a multi-day set-up task, and will incorporate high-powered full colour Krypton lasers, blue/green Argon and YAG lasers to transform the event into a futuristic light, laser and visual extravaganza. With massive motorised mirror effects, laser screens, huge mirror balls, beam splitters, fragmenters and many more effects that will be tactically positioned throughout the event to create an atmosphere of pure insanity!

REWIND:SELEKTA ARENA
Big it up Sydney as Rewind Selekta makes its debut at Helter Skelter! Old Skool Breakbeat, Jungle and Drum'n'Bass are a massive part of rave history, but for some reason it's been back-shelved here as times have moved on... Well that is no longer, as we stack the subwoofers for a sonic subfrequency showdown of Sydney's Kings of the broken beats - backed up by the best lyrical masters on the mic. To make sure this arena goes off with a bang, we're proud to have true rave legend and the undisputed king of old skool breakbeat Luna-C with us on our debut, showcasing a 2 hour set of the '92 to '95 jungle and breakbeat scene that he was instrumental in shaping.

AKA Oliver Froning, Dune is the mastermind of the seminal rave anthems "Million Miles From Home", "Hardcore Vibes", "Are You Ready To Fly" and of course THE anthem of the rave generation "Can't Stop Raving", still played by many a DJ to rapturous screams by the rave massive some 8 years after it was first released. Dune's style of uplifting hardcore and trance has stood the test of time, and for the first time Dune is here in Sydney - Australia to do what his music has done for years - rock the party!!!

Since teaming up with Beam in 1999, Beam & Cyrus have become one of the most popular trance acts in the world with massive trance anthems such as "Thunder in Paradise", "Lifestyle", "Launch in Progress" "All over the World" and "Take This Sound". They've worked on massive tunes like Airscape's "L'esperanza", Cosmic Gate's "Mental Atmosphere" and more. At Helter Skelter, Cyrus will show you what all the fuss is about!

I must say Helter Skelter was my first rave ever and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was totally insane and the music was to be rivalled.
As a virgin raver I would recommend it to anyone.  To those people who I met on the night you all made it a night to remember. Cant wait to see you again at Two Tribes.
Why sleep when you can dance?
