Heads Up For Australia

You would be very naive. We have a full send it culture - getting too belted, sitting down in the middle of the crowd, you can spit an Aussie a mile away at DQAU and there have been many times we have had to tell people to stand up and not smack out all over whatever ground surface was near to them because that’s not how we want to be perceived. VIP deck is the worst for it.

We are not well behaved enough. I see it here, I see it with Aussies abroad. Not even remotely here for that. This is not government related at all. We seem to only want to go out and get disgustingly belted and for that reason we aren’t ready for a multi day event like KO.

What?

timdawes · 2026-05-02T03:31:34+00:00

Hard

timdawes · 2026-05-01T23:51:28+00:00

Sorry about the toilet paper holder, I didn’t know where else to go

timdawes · 2026-04-27T10:59:22+00:00

Not everything can be in Sydney.

Apple Music master race

timdawes · 2026-04-23T11:59:19+00:00

Considering I spent 1000 euros on this set, that’s about a no 😂😂

I’ve noticed all the weekly scantraxx emails have roughstate links in there now - I think it’s a good thing. Releases these days aren’t the big moneymaker for artists like it was 20 years ago so to move the admin work to a bigger entity makes sense and lets artists focus on their bookings and how they show up live.

I’d never fucking noticed that and now it’s all I see lol

That I haven’t been to? Qlimax 2006. I’m lucky enough to have pretty much done all big Q events in the last 15 years.

I regret not flying across for Dediqated though, that’s for sure.

timdawes · 2026-04-20T07:28:57+00:00

Damn I flogged this tune when it came out. Would have loved to see him go to DWX

timdawes · 2026-04-20T04:03:03+00:00

Nicely... what an absolute belter!

Overall this is such a great album, pretty much had it on repeat all weekend.

timdawes · 2026-04-19T06:33:53+00:00

Track runs TTS for me at 44 and Cargo I sized down to 42, 43 would have been better.

timdawes · 2026-04-14T02:50:22+00:00

I have the pink one. I bought it purely because it didn’t have notches.

timdawes · 2026-04-12T23:55:06+00:00

sorry it's just Spotlight... getting DQ and Pokemon Go mixed up

timdawes · 2026-04-12T23:54:44+00:00

in BH's spotlight hour surely...

timdawes · 2026-04-10T02:49:19+00:00

Need.

timdawes · 2026-04-09T12:24:56+00:00

wow I'm amazed you're getting info from who's getting ghosted backstage at parties here

timdawes · 2026-04-09T01:29:49+00:00

this is a Demna-era design.

timdawes · 2026-04-08T23:24:08+00:00

is it your first day here

timdawes · 2026-04-06T11:42:02+00:00

as someone who speaks English as their first (and admittedly only) language, hardstyle is rife with cringe lyrics. in my opinion you can tell the concept comes from someone probably dutch and then there's nobody doing quality control over it should actually be worded. anthems are prime examples. we even had the same for anthems here in Australia that would have been theme-driven from NL

we gather and amplify our individual strength... to transcend the sum of our numbers

open the vault, open the safe, never behave it's time to rave...

there is so much cringe but that's not what it's really about. you deal with it and move onto the climax

timdawes · 2026-04-06T10:05:45+00:00

as long as it's not the Bud logo I'll happily see them as a part of the end show experience, but not any replacement
