WELCOME TO HELTER
SKELTER
Over the past decade, overdrive.com.au, Independent Reflections and Scattered
have presented Sydney with some of the most memorable events in Sydney's
history. From complete sellouts of the Macquarie University Atrium to the
largest international rave DJ event ever held (at the gigantic E.G. Whitlam
Centre). From the running of some of Sydney's most successful club nights
(Progress, Generator, Logic, Thursday Delights, Institution and many more) right
through to some of Sydney's craziest warehouse events, this collaboration of the
most forward-thinking promoters in Sydney is what dreams are made of, and the
event that we've come together for is your dreams come true. At Helter Skelter
you will party with 5 of the hottest international acts in the world, 50 of the
Countries most talented DJ's and live acts, located inside and around a massive
warehouse complex that is surrounded by a huge open air chillout with carnival
area, free rides, merchandising stalls, and much, much more. Sydney... This is
as BIG as it gets!!!
VENUE INFORMATION
The Sydney Showground at Olympic Park have come to be known as NSW's premier
party venue, and this is because it can be described with only one word:
ENORMOUS. Most large scale events have the one main room and then smaller
"secondary" arenas to cater for the multiple styles of music. At Helter Skelter,
we are proud to present not one but TWO main arenas, the overdrive.com.au arena
and the Sundissential arena, both of equal size in terms of room and production.
Both the main arenas are bigger than 6 full size Basketball courts, and that's
only 2 of the 4 arenas in operation on the night. The ceiling height of the main
arenas are some 30ft each, with massive beams crossing the ceiling, which are
perfect for positioning giant moving lighting and laser rigs. The outdoor area
is also gigantic, with a capacity for several thousand people. The venue complex
has several unique chillout areas, full hot and cold food service all night,
drinks and glowstix stands, clean toilet blocks around the venue and so much
more that we can't include it all here. This is quite simply the ultimate venue
for an event the size and scale of Helter Skelter.
PRODUCTION SPECS ::: LIGHTS & SOUND
Helter Skelter is set to have one of the wildest lighting and sound
installations in the history of Australian Dance Parties. BLM Productions are
the absolute leaders in the supply and operation of event production at almost
every major Sydney dance party. For Helter Skelter, Brian, Ian and the guys from
BLM will be installing an enormous amount of lighting, sound and laser
technology, and programming it to produce an atmosphere more intense and more
explosive than ever before. The World's leading state-of-the-art moving and
intelligent lights, along with a massive install of effect and blinder heads,
all brought together with some of the country’s biggest lighting rigs. Prepare
yourself, as Helter Skelter is set to blow your mind.
PRODUCTION SPECS ::: LASERS & VISUALS
Helter Skelter is a Production Manager’s wildest dream, with a massive
installation set to produce one of the most spectacular 3-dimensional full
colour laser shows that any dance event could possibly provide. Supporting the
massive laser feast will be huge visual display screens, showing world class
footage and computer generated images from all over the globe. With Australia's
number 1 laser operator at the helm you can be assured of a show that will have
you talking about the event for months, if not years, to come. The laser and
mirror show itself is a multi-day set-up task, and will incorporate high-powered
full colour Krypton lasers, blue/green Argon and YAG lasers to transform the
event into a futuristic light, laser and visual extravaganza. With massive
motorised mirror effects, laser screens, huge mirror balls, beam splitters,
fragmenters and many more effects that will be tactically positioned throughout
the event to create an atmosphere of pure insanity!
