Distant Dimensions III

By: Dana Schwehr

The third year of the
Vinylution Gatherings series
of Halloween parties was a
huge success. This particular
gathering featured two
stages, an array of talented
DJs, and a wide variety of
music genres. Amazing cos-
tumes, great music, and an
excellent venue all added up
to create the perfect
Halloween experience.

Featured on the main-
stage were the talents of
Lando (previously known as
DJ Dart), Kyle, Monte
Martens, Adin Bennett, and
Weasel. Lando, China
White/Slam Funk
Allstars/Team Hardcore Du,
started the night off right with
his funky brand of disco
house. It was a tough act for
Kyle to follow, but he held up
well with his hard-hitting hard

house set. Monte threw
down a wicked progressive
house and trance set that
made sure the crowd was up
on its collective feet. After
Monte was the highlight of
the night, the headliner from
Vancouver, Adin Bennett.
Adin’s tech house set was all
that one could hope for in a
tech house set. Weasel,

since his return to Prince
George, ended the night with
his own brand of high energy
drum n’ bass, which was the
perfect thing to get all the
tired out fans back on their
feet.

There was another
stage tucked away on the
upper floor of the
Rollerdome that night. This
smaller, but no less intense,
stage featured the spinning
talents of Sven, Timmy,
Dust, Insomniac, Professor
Pow, and Jekobe. Sven led
of with some good drum ‘n
bass, and was followed by
the progressive trance
sounds of Timmy. Dust
showed us his ability to mix
a wide range of sounds,
and mixed up some funky
tech, break beats, progres-
sive trance, and disco
house. Insomniac followed
with a hard house and hard
trance set that ensured the
crowd’s dancing pleasure.
Professor Pow showed us
that girls can indeed com-
pete with the big boys, and
blew the crowd out of the
water with her breaks and
speed garage mixing skills.
Finishing off was Jekobe,
who played breaks as only
Jekobe can. The energy
was high the music was
excellent, and the second
stage was definitely worth
checking out.

Of course, no
Halloween party is com-
plete without costumes, and

this one was no exception to
the rule. Some of the cos-
tumes there were absolutely
amazing. Scattered amongst
the usual assortment of dev-
ils, angels, cats, and fairies,
were some truly amazing
costumes. Included among
these were Rainbow Brite,
Sonic the Hedgehog, a lamp,
a tree, a giraffe, and an
Ewok. These costumes
could only enhance the
atmosphere of the party, and
help make it a more enjoy-
able experience for every-
one.

In all, Vinylution’s brand
of Halloween revelry created
a thoroughly enjoyable expe-
rience for everyone involved.
One can only hope that the
tradition will be continued
next year with Distant
Dimensions IV.
