Bit cheeky putting this on Nick's group but he's my favourite producer and i'll be belting out his tunes in the main room, so there!


RIPSNORTER present the greatest hard dance producer/DJ of all time BK, playing his Ripper debut at The Blue Mountain Club this New Year's Eve!

BK’s latest ‘Under The Influence’ series of collaberative EPs marks a new harder, more electro- influenced direction (sometimes known as ‘nu-rave’ or ‘new age rave’) and one that has been rockin’ dancefloors all over the world this year - Ben has been wanting the freedom to play a harder, underground, techno-tinged style (impossible at the larger anthem-hungry commercial hard dance events) and The Rippers very happy to give him the opportunity this New Year’s Eve.

Plus belting out the big techno-trance-NRG tunes of the year will be Dave Randall, DJ Pod, Solid Si, Greg Zogg and BS2; and dirty basslines in the Breaksnorter Room with Schmidt LIVE, Nick the Kid, DJ Hippy, Spectre, Arthur Tabb - and original Rippers DJ Pod & Dan Pearce funkin' it up together.

Here come the drums!

Methinks there will be no roof left after this one.

Great to hear we're gonna be hearing the Sentience tunes from you Mr Pod.

Favourite Sentience tune?

Too many dude...
Essence.
Freedom.
Time To Burn.
Amplify.
And the new one with BK rocks.

I know what ya mean.

Cause & Effect - rah
His remix of Injected with a poison with BK rocks.
Here It Comes
Discoteque

His new remix of Laws of Progress is my current fave by Nick - fantastic.

Look forward to hearing a few on NYE then mate!

Ill have to check that one out - aint got it. Who's the original by?

Rowland & Wright - Laws Of Progress

Original one side, Nick Sentience Remix the other. And now he has done a 2007 remix which is even better. But his 1st remix is well worth having.

Too many dude...

Definately to many. Id have major problems even getting down to the top 10!

Checked out Laws of Progress - passed it up at the time cos im not into the cheesy riff. Sounds a bit too much like a Phil Reynolds track. Interested in hearing the new version though. Is it out yet?

Nah, still a Nick only track atm. Though, the riff is the same, so I suspect youd not like it now either, it just has more psy tinged sounding synths this time around.

I love it - but then I love that Phil Reynolds sound.

Id like to hear him do more of the electro-influenced stuff too. Like the Under the Influence EPs.

Here ya go folks, Ripper set times for tomorrow night. Things are shaping up. The decor crew are on their 2nd day of transforming the Blue Mountain into a UV jungle wonderland - the outdoor area is already covered and is lookin mint. The main room rig's being sound-checked right now, and the TurboSound rig is going in at noon tomorrow.
