Massive thanks to all those who attended the last events they were very special indeed

Awesome is the only way to decribe it , another top event all round . Thanks to all the top DJs and friends and crew and clubbers who support us no matter what . You know who you are

Andy Whitby totally had that contact zone going off as all the DJs in there the room was seriously pounding from start to finish due to one of the fattest rigs ever seen or heard shouts out to Ian who custom made the whole thing from scratch and actually built some speakers especially for our event . Highly recommended .

Big thanks to Garbo for making the journey down from the number 1 award winning club storm he rocked good to see em as well , also our residents Dan Thompson who always plays superb trance sets along with U4IC Djs and Corderoy who were all totally having it . Maverick was playing the best old skool trance core and hardstyle at BPMs well off the rictor scale . Baz & Butch3r always playing the best classic hardhouse , Nathan D & Lanslide totally loved it as always . And finishing off D-lyte who is our best hardcore resident and one of the most talented decent jocks in the game .

Outside was no different absolutely heaving top sets from all the DJs again , no stone was left uncovered in all things house from jacking tech throu to classic oldskool and the filthest electro . Top sets and variety across the board from all our residents again . Glenn ford and CJ never fail to deliver and that ' Robert Miles - Children ( house remix ) ' went off guys remember playing at events together when the original came out must be a good 12 yrs ago .

Omaha well the guy is top class every time serious dirt being thrown out in all things electro dont what happened to Kalvin but didnt look to eager lol . Gav same again still playing alongside each other over 10 yrs on maximum respect been a hell of a lot of top parties mate . Mark Kai_1 superb as always . Our newest resident Matt Oliver back in the game after following all our parties since 1995 was great , tight mixing and some top tunes bud . M-Class were well class wicked scratching as well mike thanks for playing defo have you back . Dan Back and Abbo playing some awesome stuff shame ya air horn ran out so quick . Will have to get more next time . Sam Bylett wicked stuff mate defo have you back .

Retro room in association with Tribal and Southsea Mafia great tunes a djs going on in this room all day too , wicked sets from all the Southsea Mafia , Will , Udy , Aimz . Tribal crew Alex Rhythm logistics , Joe Giacomet and Paul Lyhnam ( Digital Playground ) and Rayner finishing off with the classic oldskool

All in all cant say how much talent and variety of tunes and genres there were accross the whole event and all the rooms but believe there is always a lot , cheers guys and girls you made another great event come together like clockwork again .

We always put in loads of effort into every party we do and it always shows the feedback has been awesome and we had friends from all over the UK and some from europe there again and good to see so many regulars there as always who have supported overload and contact from way back when . The atmosphere was top once more and great that so many of you got in the theme of things with ya fancy dress and beach balls and the like .

The DVD will be out asap so we will let you know when that is available there is tons of galleries on facebook that arent in the groups or on here so please try and add um to the relevant pages so we can all see um without searching to hard
