UNITY---just a bit of a rip off...!!!

can someone please inform me what is going on with this AK party over easter weekend called unity ???

a large rip off of the christchurch event started back in easter 2000 !!!

ez boys, not very cool !!

Sounds pretty good actually.
$45

Mark Dynamix - Aussie's best Progressive DJ (MOS)
Kings of Tomorrow - New York
House of Downtown
Tim Phinn
Havoc - well.....
Phillipa
Angel
Levani

Just to name a few...

Mark Dynamix is NOT australias best progressive dj. He is way way behind Kasey Taylor, Sean Quinn etc. He plays all and anything to get gigs. A dj whore if you will.

agreed

However, if you live in Sydney Mark Dynamix is a pretty good bet (apart from Ben Korbel)... since pretty much all the best DJ's are in Melbourne...

I think this thread has already been thrashed, but apparently sometime back in the hazy early-day folklore of Aucklands dance 'scene' there was such a thing as the dance-party called Unity - so Unity 2002 is like the 'new' unity, just as there was the 'new' Sweetwaters and a 'new' Woodstock... so yeah, I guess the Auckland Unity actually got in first, sorry Christchurch! Haha. Actually I guess there's probably been a dance party called unity in pretty much every major city in the world at some stage by now (there was also one in Dunedin about 4 years ago... but that was more of a, um, basement drum&bass on acid party sort of thing... oh well...

There was a unity part in Masterton about 10
years ago....it was put on to unite the warring
factions of sheep shearers around the
waiarapa.....and thus, the golden shears was
born.....

So, looks like the farmers bet all the big city folk
to it....

yeah but unlike you progress i dont scower this site for every little bit of shitty information.

this easter weekend is the 5th unity in succession in chch. it is a permanent fixture in chch and has been since easter 2000. This party has the concept and the thought of a greater goal behind it mate and i know that for a fact because i was around behind the scenes when it began , so if you try to tell me different then you are talking out your ass mate because you have no idea what your talking about!

doesnt really mater anyway, both parties will go ahead regardless but if you pay attention to my first post then you will understand what im talking about. I am not trying to state claim to the name of UNITY. I am stating that the concept thast is being used in AK is far to similar to that of chch and I was just pointing it out.
I do not read anything else on this website other than this topic page "PROGRESSIVE" why becasue the sound is what I am into and the rest of the shit that goes down in this country on this site is pretty much AK based anyway. and has little or no reflection on anything nationwide.

I just dont like seeing a concept taken so close to some one elses man,

if people were slightly more onto and mean, then this could have ended up being very very messy, in a legal kind of way!! thats how close it is progress. and if you have a prob with that then you can lick my nuts!
god i was having a nice morning.
anyway enuf bitchn, new topic!
peace!

great stuff
lol

I like the quote
"lick my sweaty ball-bag"

"and if you have a prob with that then you can lick my nuts!"

Quite possibly the most endearing statement ever made on these boards.

thats the way pyre - give it heaps
hehe....lick my nuts....hehe!!!
you are a true word smith son
love ya work

pyre - might be interested to know that all the crowd shots on the unity flyer, are from the last velvet (competition party) in AK.

seems the name isn't the only thing tim phinn is ripping off

if you look at the shots on the flier it says they were taken by W. Wilson, I've got one right here. He is at every gig taking photos so who knows where they came from..

dtour - from the last velvet

go to www.thefunkfactory.co.nz and compare

Ummm, Pyre dude... breeeathe deeeeply, reeeelaaaxxx, your aaanger escaaaapes youuu with eeeeach paaasing breeeath...

Seriously, I wasn't dissing you man, nor Chch Unity or anyone else, I was just saying I don't think Auckland's Unity party "ripped off" Chch's Unity party to any "large" extent, any more than you ripped off the name of a Welsh breakbeat trio for the name of your nightclub, or 'stole' the identity of a pile of sticks used as for funeral cremations for your DJ name (it's true, look it up).

You mention that "the rest of the shit that goes down in this country is pretty much AK based... and has no reflection on anything nationwide" - which is precisely my point - do you really Tim Phin removed his head from it's snug resting place in his own rectum long enough to see that Chch even had a party called unity? (I doubt it personally)...

Also, I didn't even come *close* to saying that Chch Unity didn't have "a concept of a greater goal behind it" or whatever you said, dunno where you got that from, but I guess then that by *your own* definition I aren't talking out my arse after all.

I 'm afraid I still don't see this striking conceptual similarity you posit between the Chch party (which, AFAIK, is all about the different 'scenes', promoters, genres, etc joining together in a night of so called 'unity') and the Auckland party (which is basically the opening of a new venue with possibly the biggest house music act of the year headlining it, supported by a not entirely bad Australian prog/trance DJ, and an interchangeable cast of Auckland DJ's who all play the exact same tracks as each other, but in a different order) - forgive me if I'm wrong, but which part was "ripped off" from Christchurch Unity? You can't copyright a concept. The idea of 'unity' through dance stretches back through folklore for eternity, and has been done to death in the past, so why not let the deep-house-plebs use it just one more time and not pay any attention to them eh?

Kind Regards

PS. I would also like to add that I couldn't possibly lick your nuts because your arse is far too hairy and I'd have to shave it to get anywhere near them

hehehe - great stuff - keep it up boys

*reaches for his big jar of chill pills*

I dont think that the use of the actual name for a party is the issue, I think its the fact that the party is the exact same idea as unity down here. Multiple rooms, multiple genres....
Surely they could have come up with a different name. But to be honest I dont think they were aware of the ch-ch party, I doubt they would've done any research into it!

weak comparasion progress. the only thing i will give you is that, yeah i also doubt that tim phin really gave a fuck to check. BUT unity chch has been all over this site before. and we all know how much time is spent on this site by a lot of ak people, no offence to anyone that spends way to long on this site, just making the point that if thats the case he would've heard about it ! actually fuck that i would put my money to say that he did know about it. Tim has been to chch many times and it aint that hard to know what is going down in this country every weekend.

and progress this shit just gets on my nerves!!

well done,hybrid is the same name as the breaks trio from uk. it is also the name of a superior
car engine that runs on water. but i am neither a
3 person breakbeat producer nor a engineer.

however hybrid NZ is a fuckin club mate. Why bother bringing this shit into it. (insulting)
also my DJ name "look it up" do you think i havent or something... (insulting again)
come on mate what the fuck are you on about ??!!
why dont you go away and prepare for us all a list of the whole of NZ's djs names and similarities between all of them and the english dictionary that way you can post that on biggie and we can all go wooo...
yeah great reading there ! JESUS!

i bet you must have had a severe case of the guilts if that be the reason you went from abstract to josh webb A?

"the rest of the shit that goes down in this country on this site" if your gona quote me please do it properly bro.

look I knew this was gona get outta hand after i got the first post reply from you and that is why i said "enuf bitchin, new topic" this shit can go on forever and quite frankly i have far better things to do with my time. like drink tequila with danny or shave my arse so you can lick my nuts!

look bro i feel some what personally ripped. "why" because on the same easter thursday night in ak there is a party called unity. do i take things a bit to personally... probably, but fact remains unity chch "all as one" unity ak "one people" when is the gig ? same night easter thursday. if that isn't a very very close similarity then fuck i have no idea and should probably just give up djing and promoting oh yeah and the club me and my friends built.

there is still something in this country and this culture that everyone will swear they have and that is integrity! it is just that some peoples veiw of integrity is a hell of alot more blurred from the weekend than everyone elses.

anyway nothing personal bro, you just struck a nerve!

Okay, okay... points taken loud and clear bro. I'm sorry I said anything now 'cos I can see that this is cutting a bit close to the bone, and that's not good cos you're a fuckin good cunt! I'm always getting myself into trouble with my sarcastic bastard tendencies (slaps self several times)... hey at least it created some good lines for the biggie quote hall of fame, and for what it's worth I wish I was gonna be in Chch for Unity 'cos it's gonna piss all over the one up here anyways...

Pyre bro, I'll have some shotties already lined up for ya next time you're up... c.u.
