    Enormous amounts of respect to Tony and everyone in this video.
    I performed in 2001 at the Graf Hall of fame as The Chaos Technicians and it was one of the most amazing expereinces of my life.
    I was given the opportunity as a young tacker to perform with no resistance, no clique, no layers of social politics to negotiate through. If you had something half decent, you were able to get up and give it a crack.
    I want to follow Tony's lead and develop my own version of what he did.
    We need to reclaim Sydney for what it used to be, to be a playground opportunity for ANY artist, no matter their background, their age, their affilation, whatever, to perform if they have the ingenuity. That you dont need to jump through a million hoops of government and social clique to get a look in.
    Some crews are doing it now, but they are WAY underground, this needs to stop.

      As a young person from Sydney, this is simultaneously disheartening and inspiring. Who are these crews you speak of???

    Thanks for so many great memories Tony mate.
    If a party was shut down back in the day you could bet it'd be relocated too GHF if possible or if not we headed too Sydney Park for a early Sunday recovery session. Sydney 90's party scene was epic & will never be duplicated for so many reasons.

    I lived there in 2001/2 with a small group of good folks, we were the last to leave.
    I did visit once about 8 months after we shut the doors, but it had been trashed by squatters. It was knocked down soon after.
    A lot of good memories and good people. What a time...

    i remember being at party there ,and at around 6am the cops shut the sound system down, but someone had a car inside with a decent system with a mix tape cassette....everyone just started dancing around the car. Good old days!

    Takes me back to the 0055 number and graffiti hall of fame as the address circa very early 90s. Tony you are a pioneer truly. Saw Ming Darcy in there....I think the last time I saw him was 30 years ago playing in some warehouse in Alexandria.

    I grew up in waterloo and still live here. Spanos, put some made raves on at the graffiti hall of fame. 90s were awesome for the rave seen.
    I was there that night when the guy got shot.
    Shut the whole place down

    Seeing that fading DMOTE piece on that wall is so sad. I had some of the best times of my life in that place from 92-94. I hope kids have some sort of outlet today and not just their mobile phones.

      @@isabella4611 sorry if I’m assuming you’re in your 20’s but what do you guys do nowadays ? I went out in Sydney a few months ago and it was dead , Newtown was busy but no where near what we had in the 90’s. It was very depressing.

    wish we had more youth centres and free stuff to do for the kids, just to have a destination each week to look forward to going to, to forget about whatever is going on and connect with others and find information to help.

    1) The late 1980s is not quite 40 years when you consider this is dated 8 months ago (2023). 2) That's a Melbourne train. 3) I have never heard that Sydney was once known as the dance capital of the world 🤣🤣🤣
