=========================================================
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
=========================================================

BRING ID:


We are going to be very strict about making sure that the 16+ rule is enforced. This means you will need AT LEAST 1 piece of photo ID and be ready to show another piece to back it up, preferably another photo ID.
NO PHOTO ID = NO ENTRY
If for some reason you don't have any ID, please contact me directly at least 72 hours before the event.
-----
NO DRUGS:
Anyone caught with illegal substances will be ejected from the party immediately.
-----
RESPECT THE VENUE:
Anyone caught tagging or in any way vandalizing the venue will be ejected from the venue and reported to the police. They will also be billed for any clean up costs involved. I'm taking this very seriously. Ottawa doesn't have many places left that will host these type of events and we need to respect the places that do. Venues are the key to maintaining any type of scene in Ottawa.
-----
NO OUTSIDE DRINKS:
We're sorry but all bottles, even if unopened, will be confiscated at the door. We have no way of verifying that they have not been tampered with and we are responsible for everything that goes on inside the venue. Water bottles will be sold for a very reasonable price and cold running water is always available.
Please refer to the bottle section in http://tamerax.com/survey/page6.html for more information.
-----
REFUNDS:
Unless there are unforeseen circumstances, no refunds will be issued. This basically means if for some reason you get thrown out of the party for being stupid, or you get to party at midnight and didn't think it ended at 2a.m., or really any other reason other than it being shut down early (WHICH IT WON'T), don't expect a refund.
-----
GUESTLIST:
Don't assume you are on the list. Unless you have heard from me DIRECTLY, you aren't on it. Contact me if you have any questions about it.
-----
We will be enforcing ROAR (Right of Admission Refusal). Have fun and be safe but aware that if you act like an idiot, you'll be asked to leave.
=========================================================
FAQ
=========================================================

Q: Is this a rave?
A: That depends on what you consider to be a rave. Some people think a rave has to be an all night event. For that reason, I'm calling this a "16+ dance event" rather than a rave :P

Q: Why isn't this an all night event?
A: No available venues. Pretty simple.

Q: Since when have you been part of Synergy? Where is Mitch and Pat in all this?
A: I was one of the founding member of Synergy. I just stopped promoting raves when I moved. When I found out Doc was retiring without a proper party, I came out of promotional retirement to do this for him. Mitch and Pat are taking a small break from promoting after Here We Go Again but I have it on good authority they have something in the works coming up in the next few months. So, any questions about this event can be sent right to me and I'll gladly help out.

Q: Will you be making another mix like you did for the last Euphoria?

A: Yup :D It will be out in the next couple of weeks.

Q: What type of ID can I use?
A: drivers license
passport
new style OHIP cards are only good to match a face to a name.
student id card
birth certificate
any official id (work badge) that can be backed up with any of the above.

Basically, put it this way, if the cops asked you for ID, what would you give them to prove who you are?


Q: I'm 15 but i turn 16 next month, can i still come?
A: No. The Ottawa bylaw states that people under the age of 16 are not allowed outside after midnight. So, its not us being hard asses, its the law.

VENUE (HOCKEY ARENA!) TO BE ANNOUNCED 24 HRS PRIOR ON WWW.HEREWEGORAVE.COM AND HERE

100% CONFIRMED, 100% LEGAL, 100% AMAZING


Ottawa’s legendary Nintendo themed rave is BACK! Synergy and 1upped Productions present HERE WE GO…AGAIN! The infamous Luna-C returns alongside the intergalactic UK hardcore phenomenon UFO. Here We Go was voted party of the year for 2007. Expect this one to blow it out of the water. Bigger venue, more sound, better lighting, crazier deco and extra Nintendo. If you’re new to Here We Go, expect Super Mario Bros green tubes, hanging boxes and a whole whack of other funky Nintendo decorations! We want to see something Nintendo on each and every one of you. 

FEATURING:

 UFO LONDON, UK 
Raver Baby, Ufology Records, Hardcore Til I Die
UK Hardcore

Jason Holloway aka UFO is world renowned for both his production on such labels as Raver Baby and Jelly Baby and his unparalleled energy behind the decks. Since 1995, he has produced many of the top Happy Hardcore tracks of all time such as ‘Deep Inside’, ‘Flying High’ and ‘Castles in the Sky’. The biggest names in hardcore, such as Hixxy, Breeze and Supreme have produced anthem after anthem with UFO. Chances are that you’ve heard multiple UFO tracks played at every hardcore rave you’ve been to. In Ottawa, his tracks “Punk” and “Punk Access” ALWAYS fill the dancefloor. Other huge hits you’ve most likely heard at our events are “Underground”, “New Years Day”, “Hardcore” and “Tears”. Even if you don’t know them by name, most of UFOs tracks are anthems in every sense of the word. Ask anybody present and they will tell you that UFO KILLED it at WEMF ‘07 – we guarantee that on July 26th you will be blown away.

 LUNA-C  LONDON, UK
Kniteforce, KFA, kniteforcerevolution.com
Breakbeat Hardcore / Mashup

He killed it last year so we’re bringing him BACK! One of the pioneers of hardcore is coming to Ottawa, straight from the UK. Luna-C is considered a legend worldwide: his name has become synonymous with a versatile and varied style of mixing, incorporating breakbeat hardcore, freeform, happy hardcore, old skool hardcore and drum and bass into his sets. You can expect to hear remixes of just about anything and everything. Luna-C has produced and released many of the top breakbeat hardcore anthems, from Shout Now, Six Days and Take Me Away to My Angel, Sesame's Treat, Piano Progression, and the list goes on. He has released many HUNDRED releases and you can be sure his set in Ottawa on July 26th will be one you won't soon forget. Luna-C has promised us a specially made Nintendo intro for this party – he had so much fun last year that he’s as excited as we are!

 NO LEFT TURN  SAN FRANCISCO, USA
K12 Studios, Sunrize Sound
Happy Hardcore / Eurodance! (TWO SETS!)

Hailing from San Francisco, No Left Turn has become a name recognized by hardcore lovers all over the world. Known for his innovative mixing, he has opened minds to what could be done by mixing various genres with hardcore. Together with his undeniable energy behind the decks, it's no wonder he is one of the most popular hardcore DJs in the USA. No Left Turn mixes on 3 or 4 decks, cutting and layering hardcore in ways you never thought possible. This unique style has earned him appearances in such prominent places as Toronto, Los Angeles, Seattle, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Detroit, as well as near weekly appearances in his hometown. His releases have been included on labels all around the world, including Ballistic Bootlegs, Ravin Phantasy, and Draft & Method. Despite his busy DJ and production schedule, he has helped create K12 Studios, which has quickly become the top hardcore production studio on the West Coast. If you’re an Ottawa raver, you’ve probably heard his most popular Happy Hardcore mix (Matchbox Storybook) as well as his AMAZING euro mix (Catch 22). If you haven’t, you simply MUST download them immediately and get ready to be amazed. He’ll be rocking Ottawa with both a Hardcore AND a Euro set!

 TONY BENINO  LOS ANGELES, USA
K12 Studios, happyhardcore.com radio
UK Hardcore / Trance (TWO SETS!)

Flying in directly from Los Angeles for the show, Tony Benino is quite simply going to amaze you. Tony has, without a doubt, the strongest stage presence we’ve ever witnessed. You haven’t seen an energetic DJ until you’ve seen Tony Benino. Everyone that caught his set at Here We Go and Hard As Fuck: Ground Zero gave ‘raving’ reviews. With numerous top notch productions as well as featured mixes on happyhardcore.com radio, Tony Benino will, without any doubts, seduce the girls and rock the dancefloor.
