Description: I remember I was in the line to get in and we could see in through the window to office rooms and there were police officers talking to men in suits (lawyers) having a good old discussion. It was fairly early and the party was not shut down so the lawyers must have made their point. This is in my TOP 5 parties of all time, the hype of the mega watts sound system, the controversy of the competing parties on the same weekend and the media coverage (and subsequent shutdowns), the superb, authentic warehouse location, the supreme sound and lighting production (including that rebound at the back of the space), the stellar music (RENEGADE LEGION – THE WEEPING WASTE, ooooh yeah!!!!), complete with the perfect Paul Holden anthems finale (and the end of an era, before the next party Mayday would turn the morning on its head with Vagas playing the hardcore closer). Just a perfect party! I was stuffed by the end of this, and just wasn’t ready for an Easter Monday public holiday gathering eating chocolate with the relatives being quizzed on all the rage parties they’d seen discussed heavily on the news across the weekend.Video: Prodigy 5 – Chapter 1, Official Full Prodigy 5 – Beehive Video.
