We are both fortunate and blessed to be able to do what we do, both as engineers of our own destiny and in collaboration with others. Dance music is fundamentally about community.
TIMEline
1. OUr story starts... Jun-2020
It began with four mates having a chat about parties. Whilst we would go to festivals from time to time, Canberra has always been a place where it is desirable to create your own entertainment. We decided to chip in a grand each to buy some speakers and a mixer. An old mate helped us out by selling us a few lights. We bought a cheap fold-up table and a small generator. We were ready to go...
2. RPG 1 JUn-2020
It's June 2020 and Canberra is the middle of lockdown. Gatherings of more than 20 people are not allowed. So we run a small party of 10 people to test our equipment. Adam DJ's a 13 hour set of chillgressive and progressive psy-trance.
3. RPG 2 AUG-2020
We had such fun at our first event, despite its small size, that we decided to run another one two months later. This time, we invited Pann and Stavtek to play, who also invited a couple of friends, and we had a party this time of 20 people.
4. RPG 3 NYE 2020-2021
