7TH AUGUST 1999
@THE SANCTUARY MILTON KEYNES
PLEASE CLICK ON PHOTO FOR A LARGER PICTURE

HELTER SKELTER, one of the biggest and best dance events on in the country are back again at the sancuary for another night of pure musical mayhem, we went to join in!!! After meeting/picking up everyone and the hour drive (which is pretty good for my car) we finally arrived |  |
|
at the sanctuary at around 10.15pm only to find there was no VIP parking and a very heavy police presence (I'll tell you about them later). after being sent over to the b&q car park we made our way to the main entrance, which for the time it was, was very quiet (it looks like skelter |  |
|
have finally sorted out the searches and got everyone in quick (may be some of the other promoters out there should take a few lessons from skelter, I'm sure you will agree)). Once we got in we were greeted by the booming sounds from inside the venues and screaming and dazzling |  |
|
lights from the fair rides, which were the sickliest looking rides I've seen there, that didn't stop the ravers though, all night long there was a queue to have a go (not me though I stuck to the bumper cars you can't beat a good bashing when your on one). We went into the sanctuary first to |  |
|
find some hardcore and that's what we found with dj breeze stompin the tunes as normal. I'm not really into d+b so when that came on I went for a walk to the other arena to find d+b playing. Finally force & styles came to the rescue with an absolutely blinding set of slightly older |  |
|
hardcore which seemed to go down 10x better
than the new trancecore that's about and which so many
djs seem to be playing rather than proper happy hardcore.
Next I went to see seduction who done his last set ever |
 |
|
and from what I was told nearly never turned up at all, maybe he shouldn't have because it wasn't up to scratch at all, playing some terrible tunes. By now the place seemed to be packed, wherever I went, there were people everywhere, I haven't seen it this packed all year. |  |
|
Trying to find a spot to chill was almost impossible. After a chill and a chat and meeting up with some old friends I decided it was time for some more music and went to listen to the one and only slipmatt who was playing some excellent classics, the only problem was that when he had |  |
|
finished I was told that dj sy had played at the same time in the
other arena!!!
As usual the sound and lighting was over 100% with the sound in the rollers blowing me away. You couldn't ask |
 |
|
for better production. I didn't see any problems or trouble throughout the whole night, in fact everyone seemed to be on an excellent buzz with plenty of smiles and hand shakes and meeting new |
 |
|
friends. The only trouble I did see (which didn't turn out to be trouble at all) was the old bill continuously taking people to the police van, I thought they were being nicked, but no they weren't, it's a new approach, anyone caught with any drugs (obviously not hundreds) is being |
|
|
taken to the van and not
nicked but given counciling and then allowed to go back in the rave. Well
done Mr.policemen, it's about time.
So overall this was probably one of the best nights out I've had this year, and with the news of helter skelter |
|
|
shutting down, what are we all
going to do for an excellent night out, come on skelter, think again
don't stop yet, the new millennium is about to start.
Anyway I will see you all at the next one (their birthday) |
