[SYD]Utopia comes to Hordern for the FIRST 16+ event 14/8/10

[KTash]

Utopia Homegrown, the event showcasing only the BEST in Australia's local talent, in all areas of the harder spectrum of dance music, is back in it’s third installment! This time it's no-holds-barred as we have secured, for the first time in history, an all night 16+ dance event at the infamous Hordern Pavilion - the landmark venue which hosted the birth of the Australian Dance Party scene back in the early 80's, and is now set to host Australia's longest running Dance Party....Utopia!

As we feel this is quite the momentous occasion - we are flying in three special International guests in addition to our already massive Homegrown lineup! After not being able to attend the last Utopia due to the Icelandic Volcano, we have now made sure that they will rock it out at Utopia – Homegrown3! The legendary Darren Styles, Mark Breeze, and MC Whizzkid will prove why they are the undisputed kings of the UK Hardcore scene. You have heard the countless anthems over the years from this trio who have truly defined rave music for our party generation, but nothing comes close to witnessing the unbridled energy of their live performances amongst a kaleidoscope of party technology, lasers and lighting spectacles - and let's not forget the spine tingling turbo sound system that will have your body oozing with bass!

Dare you miss Homegrown 3?

PRODUCTION - Lighting, lasers, visuals & sound

Lighting and sound technology has made huge advances over the past 15 years and Powerhouse Productions, with the aid of our production partners BLM Production Services, have been at the forefront of technical production. Just wait 'til you see what BLM have planned for the Hordern. With a design by Brian Walsh putting 16.9 million colours at their fingertips, Lighting and Laser Legends Ian Jackson and Geoff Rose will lead you on an optical adventure you'll never forget. Add to this, mind-blowing visuals from Eyebyte on giant screens and you have the recipe for an Eyegasm! We believe the Hordern Pavilion is the perfect venue for 3D sound. So, for the first time ever, YOU can experience thunderous Dolby 3D Turbosound at Utopia – Homegrown3. By driving giant old skool Turbosound speaker boxes with the latest cutting edge digital processing and amplification, we will create a totally encompassing aural experience with sound on the dance floor from all directions instead of just up front. This is why Utopia has long had a reputation worldwide as the "Technology Party". Our designs have been featured in magazines and technical journals all over the world. Come experience it!
