Hope to see lots of you there.

hmmmmmm, that sounds veeeery intresting. Im assumin its christian influenced, but not minding that be a good learnin experience.

would deffinetly love the weekend away with decks and mates

Will they have music cranking the whole time?
That would be totally awesome!

Sounds good, might go if u'll have me

your more than welcome

Where is this being held?.

Interesting stuff!

A 'Hard Dance' gig?

I think YBR is doing the scene more harm than good.

Being predominently a hard dance event force feeds the new comers to the dance music world an unhealthy dose of the music with the biggest drug use stigma attached to it.

Where do those who have been force fed hardhouse go? Why of course to the only hard dance venue in auckland. The infamous cube nightclub. You will find that a good 90% of the people that attend that particular club have severe drug problems.

You could also compare that same figure to in fact, all people who regularly go out and listen to hard dance in auckland. Yes there is a lot who dont take drugs.
But not very many at all.

Hardly a 'christian' approach to things. I would have thought YBR promotors, openly saying they are christians would have more sense than this?

But no. They insist that YBR is a hard dance event, because the promotors like that particular type of music and they dont seem to care that they are in the position to teach new clubbers about different genres.

Yes there is different rooms at YBR events, but they are always shovelled to the back dingy rooms, or put outside in the chill-out areas with little or no production put into the areas outside of the hardhouse zone.

I support 'Spectrum' for a reason.

Take the advice, you need it.

I think YBR is providing kids with a SAFE place to have a good time, and it has ALWAYS promoted as drug AND alcohol free... it doesn't matter what genre it is you dick

YBR cannot be held in any way responsible for introducing anyone to drugs... that is entirely a personal choice.

Kids do and WILL experiment, regardless of what genre of music is being promoted.

Don't be such a cynical wanker M_S, and use your real login

The whole things sounds a bit 'cultish' to me anyway...

- Young kids

- Late nights (= tiredness and opens their little brains up, easier to 'suggest' new ideas)

- Copius amounts of BZP products (yes, kids can still buy these)

- And some good old fashioned 'Spiritual Enlightenment'...



I've never agreed with mixing religion with dance music/gigs. It shouldn't be used as a vehicle to 'convert' some more. If kids want to learn about Christianity, let their friends take them to church with them or something.

Miguel_Sanchez your a knob, stfu
if you were even at the last YBR you would have seen the amout of effort put into the chill out area, a fair bit more than the main room.
YBR is and has always been a Hard Dance event but still promote other genres of music to the best of their ability.
The smaller rooms are alot better than one moderatly sized room.
I can think of alot worse genres that relate themselves to drugs. You seriously need to get a life

hehe, thanks

someone needs to shut the fuck up, if you have a problem with ybr and how they run their event, then dont go

its like saying urban or funked attract drugs, due to hiphop being played, i know for a fact that no drugs are taken at funked, and if someone did i would personally ring their mothers and tell them whats up

ybr and the all age scene in general is just a big median to provide safer places for the youth of today to hang out

theres crack heads at supermarkets, i dont see you starving and avoiding food shoping

on top of that why say things like i support "spectrum" for a reason, wheres your reasons, dont start talking shit then hold back the whole debate, spill the beans mate

on top of that, where are the ties between ybr and cube?

your bullshit drug theory is just fucken pathetic

have you been to ybr ?

appart from the verse on the flyer do you see or hear anyone trying to 'convert' you at the events? ybr is about a safe event that is drug and alcohol free. if anyone wants to talk about religion with us then we will but we dont try, nor have time to do it at the event.

YBR has a number of genres but yes, we always have been mainly hard dance and will be for a long time to come. Other events target other genres more and thats their thing, this is ours.

As for drugs etc at our events. Do you see any other events doing random breath testing at the door? We are making every possible effort to prevent and discourage drugs and alcohol at our events. sure it is impossible to stop drugs completly but we can try.

As for the hard dance scene being linked to drugs..... why? maybe if we bring up the younger generation with hard dance in a drug free environment it will benifit the scene later on.

anyways. this was a thread about the ybr camp. if anyone wants to talk about the event then start a new thread or head over the the ybr website and I and others will happily go into more details about how we do things and why.


thanks guys.

So there will be no 'spiritual suggestion' at this camp then? Just a few verses around the walls?

ok. im sorry. I may of missed your point a little. at the ybr dance music events there is very little spiritual suggestion at all.

this camp however is not a dance music event. this is a camp in general that will have music played and decks etc but is not a dance music event. The camp is more so set up for those who want a good time away and who enjoy the ybr scene and or the people involved with ybr. Also its for anyone who may want to find out what we believe. There will be christian aspects to it but basically what that means is, we will have group prayer and talks etc. These will be optional, you dont have to sit in while we have them if you dont want to.

I guess the whole point of the camp is just a fun time away and anyone who wants to learn what we are about, this might be more so the time to talk about things.

answer your question

lol WORD up sas!!!

my goodness... just as many drugs at other events as there are at ybr... last one i went to people were throwin up all ova the place down the street etc... and u say ybr is bad

no matter what genre it is... if its a party kids are gonna take drugs/and drink copious amounts...

but at least ybr tries to keep it to a minimum by breath testing... amnesty bins etc

and do a damn good job...



this camp is gonna be rocking

woah .. STAB!

Try keep non related promotor names out of this yeah?

yea sorry not promotors name...

just any all age event... regardless of what music is being played WILL have problems with drinking/drugs...

its very hard to control..


BUT ybr does make a HUGE effort

I'll be thur.
Will be wikid.
Decks, mates, fun, games, and no home.

Yeah-nah that is one cool log in.
