Best house gig ever?

hey everyone just curious to know what everyones defining house gig was. For me personally it was Mr Sanchez last year November

mmm.. I gotta say Derrick Carter @ The Ministry, 2 or 3 years back (they start to blurrrr after a while!)

The place cranked!

Farina - Wellington, also a couple of years back and agree with PhunkyDave that they all start to get blurry after a while

Myself I got defined on my first Titanic to Gideon, and have been defining and refining ever since....

Roll on Summer!

Stacey Pullen at the Box - 1997
or
Ibiza 2000 Island Party - 2000

But Hey!

My fav regular gigs were at the ministry and the box before they went down hill and then changed drastically...

Dam u lucky people dancin away at the box when it was in its hey day, too bad i was a young musically challenged guy then

Pakatoa 2000.... Apart from the tragedy on the Friday - bloody wicked venue / djs.... Outdoor gigs are definitely the shit!

Dimitri from Paris at Berlin Bar in Surfers Paradise, when i was there in July on Holiday with my parents. danced for seven hours without a drop of alcohol, let alone anything else.

If you were too young to go to the Box it's a pitty. When the Box was good, it was very good. There wasn't anywhere else even playing UG dance music until the Crowbar and Redzone.

Mr Roger Sanchez, was one of the bouncest, boingest loudest house partys ive been 2.(opening nite 4 sub9)But also cant knock Austin Leeds. got 2 hand it 2 the yanks they like there bass thumping and loud.

I still have a soft spot for Armand Van Helden at
the Powerstation - nicely full but enough room to
dance and good playing - although that may
have had something to do with having my first
pill at a dance gig...........

I have only been going to dance events for the last 2 years.
Id have to say House of Downtown in the West End lounge @ Mateo & Matos is my fav to date.

Hey Joe, that Mark farina gig was one of my fav gigs too! Was that the gig at the Metro (downstairs in the midcity building)?

As odd as it may sound, the remix 1st birthday party at cirque bar was one of the first where I realised that Greg Churchill was da man!

Know what u mean about the remix gig at cirque trans ,brilliant had a wicked time! I saw the light at the remix gig and it was house

It was at one of the DHnFs at Cirque,
Greg (the Judge?!? ..lol) Churchill
on 3 decks. Thats when I first saw the
brilliance of Mr Churchill.

He never fails to impress, i saw the brilliance of Mr Churchill at the daft punk release party i was sittin on the couch and he busted out some the phattest beats & mixing ive ever heard to date. After that Greg became Jesus

Farina and Derrick Carter, American All Stars tour in Wellington, Derrick Carter 2000, Derrick May 98,
Doc Martin 2001 and for future gigs I know Derrick Carter on Saturday will be in my top 10 Dance Party list

George's first birthday summer cruise round the gulf is still a hilight to this day!

Luffly house toons, Champers, Sunshine & a rockin boat = MAD AS combination!

Derek Carter - this weekend just been at Studio Nine. Carter played the best tunes I've heard at the nine in a long time - cheers brother!

Tall Paul with Ministry of Sound, at the Powerstation... couple of years back now... had to get up on the stage and dance with him, but of course got asked to get off as everyone wanted to join me!!! But he's back with Gatecrasher 23 November... definitely gonna be there

Derek Carter - this weekend just gone, has to be up there amonsgt the best house gigs I have ever been to, the man never ceased to amazed, he just kept pumping out monster tune after monster tune. The Studio 9 crowd, always one of the best, was up for it too.

every gig has its moments,but for me special nights include nightrain 1(2 was a letdown),tom middleton(calibre),love party(revolver studios),velvet(whaggamamas).more than just music, special vibes with likeminded special people.

Yep i agree with the other wn peeps. Derrick Carter at Studio 9 on sat nite. Man, he blows me away every single time i hear him. I still cant get over the sound syatem too !!!

Mr transtemporal u are right. I forgot about Farina at the ex:Metro. That was a hummer. Good to see A & B back on form in the weekend. Hope they have some more gigs planned for us over summer.

Roger Sanchez @ The Case.... Made me cry...

Doc Marten @ the Box... O Mi God.

Mark Farena @ The Box.... as above.....

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh, the old days, small crowds.... big love.... *sigh*

Yes yes yes, Nighttrain '99, how could I forget that one!!! Beautiful people, beautiful location!!!

See, didn't I predict that DC was going to be a good dance party he amazes me evenmore so every year DC this year would have been the party of 2001 !

Congrats to all who contributed to the vibe

Bring on Sanchez this year is all I have to say. This will be the best house gig ever - and you know this mannnn.

i have to agree with LXR. DC was the shit, the fact that it was not overly advertised and kept a little quiet made it all the more enjoyable, easily one of the best nz has seen. mindyou, the man is a god.

The man is beyond god status

3 deck madness and no cheese

I stood there and watched him for a good hour. He was playing old R&B acapellas on 45 (- and just dropping them perfectly using the 3rd deck. very unique. Mix of the night had to be dropping 3 copies of Moodymann "shades of jae" and cutting the fuck outta them

The all time best gig had to be about 3 years ago I think it might have been called Apollo - does anyone remember this? Had Jeremy Healy, Basement Jaxx and was at the Powerstation as well as the small church across the road - GOD I thought I would cum in my pants when Jeremy came on at about 3am he is still the man

Ohhhhhhhh yeah! I remember that gig, went with my brother and a friend of ours, had an absolutley fantastic time, remember dancing around like a lunatic, only to turn about & find a bloody great TV type camera filming me, and they continued for at leats 10 mins? must have been for some strange nature program I guess - `white gorilla goes ape'

wicked night - wasn't DJ Sneak on tha bill also? - cant quite remember?

Luckily Wgtn didnt have to endure Jeremy Healy
We basically got the cream of the Apollo crop down here with Basement Jaxx in one room and DJ Sneak/Doc Martin in the other. Man another top nite in the capital at the Overseea Passenger Terminal which hasnt been used since ?
