Monday, October 7, 2002
ONE GREEN APPLE are very happy to present what will be one of the biggest dance events this year.
This ground breaking event brings together two of the biggest names in Dance Music today, tried and tested UK dance legend Ministry of Sound and Hard NRG wunderkind Sundissential.

Ministry Of Sound features Dutch trance kingpin Ferry Corsten on his third visit to New Zealand.

Ferry's 3 hour set of tough edged trance at Ministry Of Sound NZ earlier this year has achieved legendary status and trance fans have been begging for him to return.
Ministry of Sound has achieved household name status world wide, .

Ministry pretty much wrote the book on the superclub experience, booking the biggest DJ names, putting on massive dance festivals and backing it up with a prolific release schedule of quality dance compilations.
Ferry Corsten

Is in the world top 5 trance DJ / producers along with Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto he has recorded massive dance hits under various guises [ Albion, Gouryella, Moonman, System F, Pulp Victim] and continues to lead the pack into the new millennium.

On the other side of the coin is Sundissential.

The self professed "worlds most outrageous club" opened its doors in 1996 in Birmingham and has never looked back.
The word Sundissential has become synonymous with scenes of hedonistic debauchery.

Sundi is built on an ethos of Hard trance, Hard House, strong resident DJ's, world class guests and non stop insanity.
No Chill Out, No VIP Room, No "Restricted Access", The Peoples Republic of Sundissential knows no rules except "Go hard or Go home!"

The hordes of "Cyber Kids" [as the English music press have dubbed the Sundi Crowd] that pack Sundissential weekly, spend days creating outfits with their own hands, turning every night at the club into a day glo fancy dress spectacular.

In typical mad fashion Sundissential are packing up shop and sending 3 DJ's, two of the owners and a Mixmag [English clubbing bible] reporter to record the tour which takes in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Sydney with more dates to be added.

Sundissential, more a cult than a club, The worlds most outrageous clubbing experience, coming here in October to make New Zealand have it as large as!

ROB TISSERA
Rob Tissera's versatile style and sound has seen him appear at Godskitchen, Cream, Slinky, Ministry of Sound and Clockwork Orange.

His sets blend trance and pumping house, earning him legendary status at Sundissential.

He has hit the UK Top 40 as himself ['Kick Up The Volume'] and as 'Quake'. Quakes 'Mantra EP', had three tracks commissioned for the hit movie 'Human Traffic'.

EDDIE HALLIWELL

Over the past 12 months Eddie has become one of The UK's Hottest DJ / Performers.

Eddie plays Gatecrasher, Golden, Sundissential, Goodgreef and had multiple sets at the massive Leeds Love Parade.
Eddies unique scratching and cutting style over Trance and hardhouse have earned him admiration from the UK's music press, DJ's and the crowd, Recently playing first AND last set at Gatecrasher and playing alongside Dave Pearce, Judge Jules and Paul Van Dyk on Radio Ones roadshow.

TOLLEY
Sundissential resident, ladies man and warm up DJ supreme, Sundi are so convinced that Tolley is the man to open up the night for Rob and Eddie that they refused to do the tour unless Tolley was first DJ on.

Sundissential... The people are mad, the place is mad, the co owner is called "Madders" and yes, its because he's mad!
Sundissential the people who put the word PARTY back into "dance party."

In Auckland all this takes place in a Warehouse venue in Mt Wellington.

"The Auckland dance scene in particular has suffered from massive crowds trying to cram into venues designed for and more suited to live bands.

The UK dance party phenomenon started in warehouses and with this event we are taking it back to basics
