Ever since he won Australia's D.M.C. DJ championship at the tender age of 15, there has always been something special about Pappa. Since those late-teen years DJing in Australia, he left for the electronic music utopia of England, where he had hopes of becoming one of the world's top DJs. By his early twenties, he was acknowledged as a gifted DJ and was spinning around the world but never reached the elite heights of true superstar status alongside the world's Sashas and Paul Van Dyks. With his own albums in both Renaissance and Global Underground's popular series of mix CDs, he has come one step closer to attaining his ambition of becoming one of the world's top DJs. In 2001 Pappa was highlighted on Choo Choo Records' first volume of mix CDs.

Ah.... from a time when people just put their heads down and danced their arses off. No camera phones - no yelling into mics - no gimmicks. Just a bottle of water, a couple of mitsis, and a space on the dance floor.

@luc lord I wonder sometimes if the kids now would be willing to get arrested to prevent the police from finding them. That was a must for the map point guy. I'm not so sure the kids now would be willing to do that. Although if they're smart they wouldn't need to. You could just make a signal or telegram group chat and as long as your phone has a lock your good.

luc lord

@Dj Luminol Bring the good old xtc and they would ...lol.. but more seriously it was a happening where we could found peace , love for the music , love for the people and most of all , dancing all night long to the beat

This is so underrated and I guess that's why it is still incredible sound...
Once there were no Sharams, no hyper production thanks to digitalism, there were just guys who were the masters of this thing...Check this out:
Revolt produces, Lemon 8 remixes it! Chab production comes at the second track, saeed and palash never were too much into the DJin and popularism moves and here they are. Space Manouvres after quadrant 4 started to explode and there comes a remix with Mara, Lexicon Avenue does not require an extra definition since it is out of my league to talk about them, I am nobody to talk about them.
To define all these tracks, to position them, to set the tone, the color, tempo, beat and every other tiny detail that probably most of us are not even aware of are done perfectly. That is the time we enjoy when there were no SYNC button, Music and djing and these sets were not about networking issues back then.
And here I am now, 30 years old, literally 0 friends and trying to find something to hold on to get a purpose and keep the life going instead of just surviving.

This , ladies and gentlemen, was a lifestyle, more than music, more than soul alike the cliches, this was loyalty, perseverance and holy sound of people that can get together and enjoy each invididual.
Rest in peace real house and techno and even psytrance! Rest in peace.

@Myles Fleming Indeed. A very nice chap as well, Anthony Pappa. Interacts with his ‘fans’ on social media like normal people do.

tomstickland

4y↑27

I don't think this period of tribal progressive (or whatever you want to call it) has been surpassed by anything that followed. So much of the newer stuff just bores me. Even Sasha plods his way through plinkety plonk, wishy washy stuff now. Digweed has gone harder and darker, it still holds some appeal but it's not the massive tracks with the gradual percussion changes. I appreciate that the DJs have stayed ahead of the game, if they were still playing this now we'd be bored with it.
The closest we've got to this nowadays would be Moshic and John 00'Fleming I suppose.

Wayne Brierley

3y↑1

Couldnt agree more. Love this era.

Ovid Naso

@Wayne Brierley Golden Era of Progressive/Deep/Tribal Sound...we need time machines

Ovid Naso

3y↑6

John 00 Fleming, Kentar, Beat Bizzar, Moshic, Nick Warren, i think these 5 still carry that era in their music regardless of the different genres they play, all the other deejays from that time, have been disappointing, i wouldn't call it being ahead of the game, but more appeasing to the masses and popular sound and abandoning your own sound, it began with tech house and then minimal and it the sound was slowly getting washed and becoming more radio friendly, loopy and devoid of any soul or enigmatic progression that used to take the listener on these electronic journeys that went hand in hand with the substance that was consumed at the time, not just with House music, i've noticed that even with psychedelic genre, the music now a days is soulless empty..i guess it's different eras and 2001-2004 was the apex of progressive/tribal and deep sound.

Matt Barratt

I agree that Sasha puts out more "pretty" stuff now, but I saw him play a 3 hour set just before christmas and he took us on a proper journey. Deep and dark

Cornelius Smiff

@Matt Barratt Sasha has been awesome since circa 2018 when he really got back to basics. I dislike alot of comments on these videos "Ohh it was so much better back then blah blah blah", when in reality the music is as good as it's ever been, it's just theres alot of it now so alot more crap to wade through.

truthdigger

9y↑41

after reading some of the comments it seems there was a hell of a club scene around the world from NYC to Singapore from Bulgaria to Sweden. The question is, where did this disappear? The dj's are the same, they still have their vinyls to play, so what has changed? Maybe the people who were there dancing their asses off and partying like there was no tomorrow so maybe now they have families, have no time, interest or energy to attend those kind of crazy raves. That scene, man, that scene from 1997-2007 rocked big time, Sasha, Digweed, Nick Warren, Oakenfold, Tenaglia, Pappa...2-3 dj's from this list and they make you dance until you drop

Beastly Theater

8y↑12

+truthdigger Two words: Bottle Service. Bottle service turned many scenes from dancing to posing -- people taking selfies galore with their $400 bottles of Absolut, cranberry juice with High Fructose Corn Syrup, Minute Maid OJ from concentrate and a small piece of real estate. Bottle service changed the vibe in NY, LA and Miami, at the very least. Beyond that change, the diminished pill quality also had an effect. Molly < Mitsubishi Turbo Double Stacks.

My Travel Advisor

+truthdigger I couldn't agree more.

SaltyT3xan

8y↑3

I agree w/ you....I'm one of those ppl who is now married w/ kids. My clubbing days are long gone. I can't get the misses to go out clubbing. Once in a while if a good dj comes into town (Dallas, TX), I'll take my clubbing buddy, my little sister. Last Dj show we went and saw was last year to see Gabriel & Dresden during their classic tour, was fucking awesome. I lost my shit when they drop Utah Saints - Lost Vagueness (Oliver Lieb's Main Mix)...still one of my favorite choons when I was in my 20s....
