Even through "Lock Down", the memories of nights linger as a testament to the enduring influence of Hi-NRG music on Sydney's club scene in the '90s. As people continue to grapple with the isolation policy and frustration increases during this period, so does the BPM count.

NRG | Session 005 (BPM 144)

Some 20 years ago, at the turn of the millennium, Sydney was world-famous for its 24-hour bars and epic dance parties. Sydney was the most lively city in the world where people queued 24/7 to get into clubs - before Nanny State laws closed 176 venues and destroyed its nightlife forever.

Tunnel Nightclub, open in the late '80s by Ibrahim, was accessible from a laneway and championed a 'female majority' policy - a breath of fresh air for women in the pre #MeToo era.

It was rebranded EP1 in the late nineties and early noughties, then Dragonfly from 2004-2010, before becoming Tunnel again and then closing for good as the owners threw up their hands in frustration. This mix is the second part of my tribute to EP1, arguably my favourite Sunday night during its era.

Before I begin, I just want to put a disclaimer out there that this 'NRG Session' is not mixed by me but mixed by DJ Paul Astro.

Not only is Paul a great guy, but he was renowned for being one of Sydney’s premier DJs in the 90s and early 2000s. This mix, from around 2000 typifies why people want to see him back, doing what he does best! I've stumbled across it and it is too good not to share. Listen to the maestro go to work. Enjoy!

NRG | Session 029 (BPM 142)

Why settle for ordinary when you can experience extraordinary?

With Paul Astro at the helm, every track becomes a masterpiece, every drop an explosion of energy that ignites the dance floor. From heart-pounding basslines to euphoric melodies, Paul Astro crafts an unparalleled atmosphere that leaves you craving for more.

Because you loved the last Paul Astro mix (NRG | Session 029), I can't think of a better way of celebrating NRG Session '30th' Soundcloud mix then by uploading another mix from the maestro himself.

OLD SCHOOL NRG MIX (2024.04.14) - Cheeky Ren

Oxford Street was the pinnacle of all things fun and exciting, giving partygoers a field day just to get in the door of these floor filling venues and nights. The revellers all cued the doors from opening time until the early hours of the morning. Most venues were known for the best in classic old school NRG and Trance in the early 1990s through to the 2000s and became the cornerstone for the dance music revolution. It was no wonder that clubs along the Oxford Street strip had regular patrons showing up, week after week. Session 032 is a homage to all things Oxford Street.

Crank up the volume, unleash your inner dancer, and let ‘NRG | Session 033’ take you on a non-stop journey of adrenaline-pumping music from Sydney’s club scene in the mid-90s. Get ready to feel the pulse of the beat like never before!

To my Orthodox friends and followers, as you celebrate Easter, I extend to your heartfelt wishes for joyous and blessed holidays filled with warmth of family. May this occasion bring you peace, love, and spiritual fulfilment. Thank you all for your continual support!

NRG | Session 033 (BPM 140)

Our nights often started on Oxford Street. Rock up to the Temple or Rogues in time to catch some drinks with friends and get the night started. Stay until the early hours of the morning and hike over to Black Market, finding yourself checking your pockets for enough spare change to by a pair of $10 sunglasses for the trek over. Alternatively, you might find yourself hunting a kebab down on Oxford Street, hooking left towards the glow of the Coke sign for a slow persistent crawl towards the heart of Potts Point. How good was life in the 90s and early 2000s. Session 034 celebrates good times, in arguably the best era in Sydney’s nightlife.

NRG | Session 034 (BPM 140)

From spinning beats in the heart of Sydney's vibrant nightlife to savouring the echoes of a legendary era in the 1990s and 2000s, welcome to the world of a retired club DJ. 

As a retired club DJ, the memories linger – the thumping bass, the hypnotic lights, the ecstatic crowd united by a shared love for the groove. From iconic venues to intimate underground spaces, the decks have been my canvas, and the beats, my masterpiece.

Now, as the sun sets on my DJ career, I reflect on the countless moments that shaped Sydney's nightlife. The energy of Kings Cross, the allure of Oxford Street, and the transformative power of the Harbour City's club culture have left an indelible mark on my soul. Yet, retirement is not an end but a transition – a chance to share stories, mentor aspiring DJs, and continue contributing to the rhythm of Sydney's nightlife in new, meaningful ways.

Join me on this nostalgic journey through the beats and rhythms that defined an era. From the highs of peak-time anthems to the intimate allure of sunrise sets, my retired DJ days are a celebration of the city that never sleeps, the beats that endure, and the indomitable spirit of Sydney's nightlife. It's not just about the tracks; it's about the memories etched into the city's heartbeat. Cheers to the rhythm that never fades – once a DJ of Sydney, always a guardian of its sonic legacy.
