 uENTITY Present Release 2: 11/10/98 - The people who bought you Table Manners and Formations return to present a night in tribute to the dark-side of the dance-floor with some of NZ's most notoriously dark-edged DJ's. Halloween 98 - Ever found yourself in your own little space on the dance-floor being driven by the beats, drums, beeps, bips, rhythm and grooves -when suddenly, like some sort of alien presence - out of nowhere - vyou are confronted by something that just screams out of the PA system as if brought to you by some UN-godly, tormented force. These are the tunes that demand you to the dance-floor, the tunes that scare you silly yet possesses you to dance. Kind of like facing a fear and overcoming it by not running, but staying - letting it take control of you, becoming the music's host to its sinister but in some sort of mad reality- likeable and completely danceable groove. Well this is what to expect no other than the night of Halloween. Through the shadowy corners of Hip-Trip-Hop-Horror, to twisted Techno, devilish Drum N Bass and eerie atmospheric ambience. Time: 10pm until dawn (7am) Date: Saturday 31/10/98 Halloween Venue: To be announced in the next few days so stay posted... The DJ's - The nocturnal ones! The people who only come out at night anticipate your presence so to possess you with their Hell-bent repertoire of scary selections. 13 DJs in one night of audio massacre... Tricks and treats - Presha is an introduction necessary? This man lays down the hard-edged shit UN-remorsefully. Part of the old-school local pioneers of the jungle scene making a welcome journey from Subtronix, Auckland. Sean with MC P-Geist and DJ Nikal.

MC P.Geist supports with the vocalism that rocks the crowd. V La Roc one of Welly's foremost hip-hop turn-tablists offers something we have dubbed "Hip-Horror".

These girls operate together under the name Angry - and if you have seen and heard these two you will know the name means something. Mail order from Hell bleeps n bips that curve the corners of the mind at high velocity's.Grasshopper and Gaje.

Gaje an unknown DJ in Wellington plays along side with his own unique style of music. Conspiracy one of this cities longest purveyors in the Jungle circuit who will no doubt pull out the really paranoid breaks. Ruffstep - the darkone himself!
