A private rave for members & their guests only. A tied 1st place for first party in Australia to be advertised as a 'Rave'. MR: It was the top of Mcevoy St. Old water board warehouses... full lasers... was a great night.. English crew put it on. We walked from around the Hordern... A big old gantry crane to swing off in the morning in the next warehouse.. I was there with early Bondi crew and many others... was the first Rave I went too.. after doing Dome and rat parties... was a killer night... MD: ahhh , yes I remember something was at that venue !- I think I was Playing at Love that night ... my Dad at that time was actually managing that abandoned venue, for the waterboard !

Beats International were a British dance music band and hip-hop collective, formed in the late 1980s by Norman Cook (later in his career known as Fatboy Slim) based in Brighton, East Sussex, England, after his departure from the Housemartins. TmcG: Beats international show was great despite the sound being the worst that night. Dome was such a great venue but terrible for making sound good given the shape and roof.
