It seems as though Nitrate 4th Birthday is shaping up to be so indescribably enormous that it requires it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s own warm-up event! After a 6 month hiatus following Nitrate White (To craft the new look Nitrate.co.nz, launching soon!) we figured that we?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢d better come back with a huge month of partying to remind you what we?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re all about. The Nitrate 4th Birthday WARM-UP is here to help rev up your school holidays and build your anticipation for Nitrate 4th Birthday. Set inside Base, Christchurch?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s most prolific dance club; with lighting, sound, production, DJs and ATMOSTPHERE absolutely second to none; Nitrate?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s 4th Birthday Warm-up is the dance event to be at this school holidays.

Rinsed 4th Birthday
Saturday 13th October 8pm
The Civic Complex ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú194 Manchester St
Feat. CLSM, JON DOE ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLIVE?¢‚Ǩ¬ù, STU CHAPMAN

Rinsed does it again ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú another year older, another year of some of the best raves Christchurch has seen! Growing from strength-to-strength, we only have the crowd to thank for such a successful year that has seen hardcore legends grace our shores - DJ?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Storm, Weaver, Slipmatt and Luna-C?¢‚Ǩ¬¶. and to top it off for our birthday celebration we have one of hardcore?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s nu-skool pioneers ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú CLSM!!!!!!!!!

//CLSM & JON DOE ?¢‚Ǩ?ìLIVE?¢‚Ǩ¬ù [UK]
CLSM? The name was chosen by a strange force which nobody can quite understand. Founded by Colin Meon, CLSM takes uplifting riffs, soaring vocals, grimey basslines and savage breakbeats and smashes them all together! The result: unforgettable tunes like Free Your Mind, Transmission to Mars and Drifting Away. Along with countless remixes and collaborations with friends like Cube::Hard, Billy ?¢‚Ǩ?ìDaniel?¢‚Ǩ¬ù Bunter & Sharkey, CLSM has firmly claimed their stake in the UK hardcore scene. On the hard dance tip also known as Jon Doe, owning the imfamous Honey Pot Recordings and D-Series labels has made Jon Doe a household name in the hard dance scene.

CLSM has pioneered the hardcore scene, campaigning Radio One to play kick-drum-lead tracks over 140BPM with their tune ?¢‚Ǩ?ìJohn Peel Is Not Enough?¢‚Ǩ¬ù. And recently speaking-out against labels jumping on the bandwagon in the UK rinsing money out of the hardcore scene with shite music!

CLSM?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s performances are anything but normal, with dancers like ?¢‚Ǩ?ìNed?¢‚Ǩ¬ù and ?¢‚Ǩ?ìJimmy Goat?¢‚Ǩ¬ù what more could you ask for? And don?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t forget to say happy birthday to him?¢‚Ǩ¬¶. it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s his 30th birthday on the night!

//STU CHAPMAN [UK]
Stu's been into hardcore since 1991 and never really grew out of it! Having DJ'd oldskool hardcore and house in early nineties, and DnB in the mid to late nineties, Stu got bored of it all and took a break from music altogether for a few years. After playing an oldskool hardcore set while touring Australia his passion was renewed and he returned to his roots - Hardcore! He setup hardcore breakz labels ?¢‚ǨÀúEnormous Mouse?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ with DJ Nee and quickly became a key player in the underground hardcore breakz scene. He has since had various collaborations and releases on Hardcore Projektz, Repeat Offender and Mert Wax labels.

Come check out the sounds of hardcore breakz, taking the oldskool ?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢92 hardcore vibe and giving it the 2007 production treatment!

It's our birthday again and we've decided to have a another little shindig with a few friends....
Blowing out our candles for the third time we're headed back to The Civic for the biggest All Ages dance event Christchurch has seen in a long time. Our last couple of events have been so rammed that we felt the need to open The Civic right up and explore 2 more rooms of the complex with the Urban Breaks and Rinsed Vs Psy Central zones, providing you with a larger space and a wider selection of tuneage to get down to. As if this wasn't enough we're spicing the place up with indoor Bouncy Boxing for your amusement as well as our usual large scale decor and intense visuals courtesy of Mohawk Media and VJ Fractal. Mish and WE Care will be on hand to make sure you're glowing and having a great night and, as always, our carefully selected main zone lineup of Christchurch's finest Trance, Hard Dance and Psy DJs plus MC Andy Pulzar will keep you moving until the lights come up.
