There's good deep house in Sydney, like Mad Racket parties, it's just very underground.
There's excellent DJs like Simon Caldwell. Honkytonks is THE CLUB in Melbourne. It's funny they get all these big Australian commercial DJs calling there begging to play to enhance their cred and they're like No. There's a lot of deep house in Melbourne so maybe come down here. One of the best crews is El Barrio. Then there's Deep North (linked to tiptop web site). There's also Soul'sa who combine the best of Detroit and Chicago and are totally on it. WOW, which is Liz Millar's thing, but maybe more garage. The whole spectrum of deep house. The thing is these crews don't advertise much, it's word of mouth (always very strong in Melbourne). > Inbox Message > > From: "Patrick Wacher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: (313) deep house (was 100 BEST DJ IN THE WORLD (Mills) > Date: 05/11/2002 12:04:53 > To: "313 Detroit" <[email protected]> > > I agree, it's pretty hard to find real deep house in Sydney.
