Now that the boys at Karma have raised the production stakes to an even higher level than before, the team at Biology aim to beat their competition and please their ticket holding customers at the same time with a purpose-built-stage, huge soundsystem and a massive laser display that will illuminate the sky for miles around.
Through sheer hard work and a long and savvy promotional drive, Biology's sophomore party managed to attract a staggering ten-thousand attendance through their front gates. In the early morning and with the raving spirit still going unabated, the celebrations continued as several hundred ravers met again at the Windmill pub on Clapham Common, south London for another impromptu after-party that lasted until the early evening.
June 16th to 18th – Glastonbury: Hypnosis
The festival of the people "Glastonbury" - Who have regularly let new-age travellers and alternative sound systems onto their site during the festival since their persecution at stonghenge in the seventies... Allow London pay party organisers Hypnosis to set up the first true dance music tent in one of it's car parks.
June 21st - London: Shoom
After nearly a year of holding parties in busy central London, Danny and Jenni Rampling are on the move for the third time!. The organised couple move their Shoom club across town to the Park in Kensington, south-west London.
June 25th – London: Clapham Common
Instigated by Energy and Biology, several thousand ravers in south London also don't want the weekend to end as they dance on Clapham Common for the third week in a row!.
Now up to pace with the proceedings, free-party organisers hire a sound van to provide the afternoon's entertainment, but all their plans are thrown into disarray as local police refuse to let the soundsystem illegally onto the common. Undeterred and a couple of hours later, another soundsystem and generator arrives and everybody carries on dancing!.
June 24th - Maidenhead: Sunrise
Full of trepidation, Tony Colston-Hayter and Dave Roberts from Sunrise where on a mission as they sowed the seeds for the next chapter of the Sunrise experience, A Midsummers Night Dream. The omens are also shining on the pair as they found a untouched fifty-five-thousand square foot warehouse just an hour away from central London at White Waltham Airstrip near Maidenhead, Berkshire.
During the night, the organisers also got some help from the local authorities who where on hand to direct the congestion leading up to the festival site, and to check on any illegal activities inside the building.
All said and done, at the end of the day a near capacity crowd of up to eight-thousand ravers made this party Sunrise's biggest gathering so far. After this party, the local authorities surprisingly jumped to the defence of the organisers as the tabloids swarmed around to do their customary "summarisation".
