Winter Soulstice

Recommended as one thing you must do while in Christchurch, an outdoor massive party is more fun than punting on the avon and better for the soul as well.

Massive have been around for long enough to know that it is a silly idea to try and hold an OUTDOOR dance party in the middle of winter in one of the most exposed areas, being Godley Heads. That doesn't seemed to have got through their frozen skulls. They are going to do it all again, mad fools. Sure its a beautiful spot, but you have to hang out all night to see the sun come up.

Instead of dancing in "night clubs" where it is nice and warm, they have decided to go to one of the coldest places they can find and party there instead. As usual, this circus refuses to stick to one type of music and will undoubtedly have selected a bunch of "DJs" and "Producers" who play everything from house music to jungle music to whacking two sticks (or their heads) together.

Participation by anyone is encouraged by the organisers, who believe that as long as you come prepared and alcohol-free, nothing can possibly go wrong and whatever happens the sun will rise again. If you still want to risk this adventure, the shenanigans are expected to begin at around 8pm on Saturday 12 June. Preparatory music and relaxation is provided during the early evening courtesy of Massive Sound System, to begin a night of not-so-relaxing activities. It is not known exactly how long the party will continue. The last set is scheduled for 7am but these things have a tendency to continue long past their bedtimes.

Although Massive's proven Outdoor Anti-Crowding Systemt is featuring, this party is about more than just music; warm sheltered areas will be provided (a tent with heaters). Line up is

Glyd. 9-10.30

Siliconbeat vs Cubensis. 10.30-12
Hide. 12- 1.30
Cosm. 1.30-3
Selective Therapy. 3-4.30
Insomniac. 4.30-6
Massive Sound System . 6-8

To get there, drive to Sumner and head up the valley and hill to the top. Turn left and head 6kms along Evans Pass Road. Look out for Soulstice signs. Drive carefully as the road is narrow, and there are a few cows that don't know the road rules....
