- The Melbourne shuffle 1
Location: Dream nightclub Melbourne Australia
Date: June 1 2002
Sponsor: Globe international
MC: Steve Douglas
Production: Wetmuzik AKA Simon Digby & Will E Tell.
Promotion: The Steve Douglas explosion on Kiss FM Melbourne & Matt Calendar of In The Mix .
BACK STORY:
After hosting numerous international DJ's & running some pretty big raves at central pier and some other iconic rave locations around Melbourne, Simon & Steve were constantly being told by nearly every DJ they hosted, how unique & mesmerising Melbourne dancers were, no where in the world had any of them seen the moves or the enthusiasm of the Melbourne shufflers.
Steve, Will & Simon held numerous discussions on the topic raised by their international guests & toyed with the idea of running a small party dedicated to those that made the local scene, the DJ's & in the spotlight, the shufflers.
Steve started the ball rolling by putting it out there through his weekly radio slot on Kiss FM, the response was pretty good, Simon then contacted Matt at in the mix & a modest campaign targeting melbournes core of shufflers.
A date was set, Dream nightclub was booked & the result is what you see in this short video.
It was an effort to capture a time in Melbournes underground culture of the time, the music that moved people, the ambience of the dance floor & the shufflers that simply blew away so many of our international guests.
At the time of writing this, its been 18 years & everyone in these images is that much older, many will have kids & are doing the daily grind. I hope that some of them see themselves here & that it puts a smile on their faces.
I know for a fact that all who were involved in the Melbourne shuffle parties, who see the two videos we produced, we look back and we all smile at the good times & incredibly friendly people we met there.
The three tracks played here are.
Danilo Vigoroto - Pression (B1)
Woody McBride - Off The Ceiling (Advent Remix)
Filter Science - Darkness Falls (Joey Beltram Remix) - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Bro this is the perfect combination of grooving with your hands and shuffling. This style needs to come back in the techno scene. This is a lost art.
Fuckin oath it’s lost, that new Gabba shit is fucked, a good shuffler back in the day was something to behold haha 👍🇦🇺
@@dasmuss6174 I think you can do the shuffle on every techno style (gabber, acid, trance for sure)
its a lost art cause its fucking dogshit, they aren't even shuffling correctly, look like a bunch of fucking idiots.
lol@@dasmuss6174
I can feel my jaw clenching just watching this. Love it and miss it
I miss this era…no tech house no bigroom no instagram no social media. All the kids look like true ravers. Wide pants. Baggy looks.
Couldn't agree more !!!
We where there for the music, not the likes 👍 these days
Proper tech too in that first track, what everyone’s trynna make these days
I was there. Got into the rave scene in Goa in 1991 and came back home to the start of all this. Melbourne in the 90’s and early 2000’s was absolutely bloody awesome. 54 years old now and still busting moves lol
Great to hear that your still busting moves, I'm betting that our paths would have crossed back in the day. did you ever go to the Wet Muzik parties? or Hardware?
Best times. I'm 47 now and can't help it when it's time to dust off a beat sesh. I'm from Adelaide - never been to Melbourne but Wet Muzik and Hardware absolutely ring a bell. Used to like DnB, Jungle, House, Tech...electronica.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs yeah went to hardware more than once. Razors in the 80’s, The Dome, Monkey, recovery at Evolution and Mega Bar on Monday mornings lol
@@planetdisco4821 Oh sounds like you use to do the rounds, did you ever go to Redhead? I worked there for 9 years, thats where I met Simon Digby & fell into the scene in the 90"s. In fact nearly every venue that you named had weird projections done by a guy called Nick aka silent disco. Got the saddest news that he passed away yesterday. Thats an actual icon of the Melbourne rave scene, gone.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs I’m not sure though all the names ring a bell. It’s been a long time and there were (ahem) “reasons” why I don’t precisely remember the names of some venues lol. Dropped my Harley off yesterday to get a new exhaust fitted and walked home via Docklands when I passed Shed 14 Victoria docks. Now sadly fenced off and apparently ready to drop into the ocean at any moment lol. The ALSO foundation used to put on 3 or 4 parties a year there that were the stuff of legend. Melbourne will never be able to put on warehouse parties like that ever again. I’m glad I was there…
I LOVE that rave fashion in the late 90s is basically skate fashion in the late 00s.
This is the 00s…
@@i0.0t really? Damn HDs ruined everything.
2002 - one of the best years for raves and music. ❤️
Ah, my friend, 1992 was the bomb for that. Was doing the shuffle in Sydney at that time to the dopest techno and acid tracks that had lots of structure.
Yeah, it took 12 years to get from the uk to Melbourne 😂. Summer of love was 1990.
I don't know why they call it the "Melbourne shuffle", Adelaide was doing this in 1990!
@@Android811 melbourne folk like to think they are better than everyone else.
@@Android811 According to Wikipedia the shuffle developed in the late 1980s. I first saw it in Sydney in 1990. Possibly it didn't originate in Melbourne, but it doesn't matter. The style was a big scene in Melbourne.
core memory unlocked
I still dance like this. Never going to change. We brought this back to Sydney late 90’s after a Melbourne weekend with a big Sydney crew. Solid Melbourne 🫡
Ahh, pre 2005. Those were the days. Hardstyle hadn't yet infected the Melbourne scene, ravers danced in lines and kept to their own space and dancing wasn't a competion. Shuffling was also still shuffling and it hadn't mutated into the running man. Unfortuantely the rise of the running man coincided with the birth of You Tube so very little footage of the orginal style exists. Even the "Melbourne Shuffler" documentary has very little of the orginal shuffle in it. Thanks for the post and the girl at 1:57 NAILS IT!!
I'm going to flick her this video so she knows you're a fan.
Yeah, i Know what You mean
Minimal-Tech and lets shuffle and everyone in they own style!!!
That was the best time in my life, in beginnig of the 20th
(sorry because my english, i am german)
@@andyzet4011 interesting, we toured a lot of German DJ's back then. Der Dritte Raum, Patrick Lindsey & Thomas Schumacher. They use to always comment on the dancefloor action in Melbourne.
@@andyzet4011 you should see the shuffle scene now broo , it’s all groovy evolving
I like how everyone calls it the "running man" but what they're doing now is CORRECTLY shuffling your feet (which is WHAT its suppose to be) unlike these guys back in the day who are CLEARLY just on drugs and being maggots.
Yes, this is the real Melbourne Shuffle... the Old School... Not like todays shuffle with the running man.
wait its worse than this now?
@@latjjtal its not, this is literally fucking awful.
The running man is old school shuffle came after lol And Sydney was doing it as well lol Mexicans ffs 🤦🏽♂️
What Sydney has it the gabba ... reverse shuffle running man ... should they call it the Sydney gabba 🤓
Sorry but its not the real Melbourne shuffle at all. This was being done in the sixties, there's an Adams family episode from the 60s teaching Lurch this very dance. How is it Melbourne's ?? Are you deliberately trying to make it unpopular ?? Its a great dance, don't go spoiling it with a false, unattractive title.
Miss these days. Brings tear whenever I see a vid like this pop up in my feed. So many epic times had then. 😎
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this. It honestly freaks me out when I think about how long ago this event was. Nearly everyone there is now over 40 if not 50......me? .......60+😭
I love the guy in the white hat red n black pants. Then girl with black hat n black red top. Absolutely brilliant. Been watching this vid for yrs still my favourite ❤️
Thank you to these pioneers - A shuffler from California since 2010
Thanks for the comment sir, glad to hear that you liked it. ❤️
Wow what is insanely cool about this is that they dance to proper techno. I only saw this in hardstyle dance communities in Europe. This is dope. Bring shuffling back into techno.
Ye been going on years nothing new to see here Australia!!!
Mind blowing!! Loving the moves of them lady's and gentlemen 😜 the beat is killing it
The late 90s vibes are strong in this ❤
Old but Gold....lots of creativity n personalities ........i bet all of them now r late 30's n early 40's.
When I shot this I was in my 40's and a few of the people in these clips that I stay in touch with, have families & kids nearly the same as when the clips were shot. Yes indeed time marches on for all of us. Thanks for taking the time to comment, so glad you enjoyed the clip
@@MDCDiGiPiCs i learnt shuffling from this video around 2002 😁... now im mid 40's.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs this is a legendary video, first introduction to the shuffle for millions around the world i reckon
Fn LOOOOVE this video! I really really REALLYiss those days .. so much better than the "concert-raves" of today ... By a LONG SHOT! awesome shtuff!
Man, I loved the Melbourne dance scene in the 90s. It's funny to think, the people filmed here are now likely in their early to mid 40s
Mid 50’s in my case lol
This is the OG... Melbourne shuffle 1990s....
It's been awhile since I've seen real shufflers. My kind of people. Brings back memories. 😊
It's always good to hear from someone who has had a good experience watching these vids, thanks for the comment.
1st song: Danilo Vigoroto - Pression
2nd song: DJ ESP - Off the ceiling (Advent RMX)
3rd song: Filter Science - Darkness Falls (Joey Beltram RMX)
playlist is complete :D
thanks
@@zMaraxo no problem
Love you!
thanks mate
@@Demoniodg hey no worries
Note to videographers and photographers: for most styles of dance, and this in particular, it's important to see the feet - that's where the magic happens. :)
I used this video to learn how to shuffle and it recently popped up on TikTok. What a reminder of the good times back then! I was only 14 or 15 when I saw this video but wow, nostalgic as.
Aaaah I miss the talc storm up the back bar of the palace days....
Carl cox.... Cosmic baby... Moby thousand..... So many parties.... Will e tell......
I didn’t know Melbourne shuffling was around for so long, I used to go clubbing 2007-2010 in Brisbane it was still a hectic time. Not many people could do it well.
Thanks for uploading this. This is gold!
I never get tired of combing back to this video time ane time again and watch it repeatedly multiple times in a row. Wish I could have been there there. Thank you!!
I'm so pleased to hear that. Kind regards. M
Oh man..Taking me back to doing this up on the stage at Heaven, The Big Ticket, Proscineum, LeRox and so many other clubs in Adelaide,
We need to keep this in the history books!!!
This belongs in a museum.
Looks like so much fun! I can literally sense the vibe through the video.
this is awesome, i grew up thinking my version was the original. Now I know, it's insane how it's turned into 'Cutting Shapes' all around the world.
I remember this being uploaded more than 15 years ago. This was was got me into the melb shuffle back in 2005
Yeah. Coming back here every few days. This music and dancing reminds me of the clubbing time in the very late 90th. The girl at 1:52 is the one! 😄👍And Mr. Everlast directly after.
I'm going to flick her this video so she knows you're a fan.
Woahhhhhh.....this is GOLD! Always seen clips, but never seen thos long of a footage
I think northern soul dances in the uk back in the day are another level.
First time I'm seeing this in HD... Awesome.
I visited UK in 2000 and was shuffling in Bristol - they thought I was on drugs 😂
Michael Flatleys' Lord of the Dance after you take Ecstasy.
Always loved watching Claire dance! Fuck she was good
Was shuffling in Sydney in the early 90s after watching some cool cats at Ziggurat in the Cross doing these moves. They were as smooth af. Incorporated it into the popping and locking I'd been doing since the mid-80s and we had a team that used to enter and sometimes win dance comps back then. The music was hype, the crowds were lovely, and the vibe was wonderful. Peaked at the rave, 'Such a Good Feeling,' (warehouse in Alexandria, I think) Sydney, 1992.
Yes, the good old days, we would have crossed paths for sure 😽
@@tatianarizktaylor1818 Blissful times. I walked outside the back of Ziggurat one alarmingly bright morning with a Russian girl with your first name. I wanted to kiss her, but I think we didn't. Hard to remember from those fragmented times. 🙂
It's like muzzing and shuffling at the same time, nice.
This is a crazy flashback to me at 13-14. Jesus Christ don’t let hip hop die like the shuffle has seemed to dissipate.
I just love this video
Shifted to Adelaide in 92 after being in Europe for a few years going to quite a few Raves. Adelaide had some insane underground Raves from 92-97 with loads of Epic DJ's visiting from OS along with plenty of awesome local talent. Shifted to Sydney in 2000 and it was totally different vibe. Lots of great outdoor day/night events during the warm months were fun
I had the best time in Adelaide during those years also. I used to go out every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and saw whoever came over to play of note. Still banging early 2000's but guess got older and started prioritising as time progressed 😅 (read less able to justify "consumables" budget)
The Adelaide scene was very good and kind of bizarre that a small city on the other side of the world was so big on raves. It was expensive to club in Adelaide a Nd in Australia in general
Spot on@@glennoc8585 There were quite a few Hardcore DJ's that would fly into Australia and perform in Adelaide only then fly out.
Thank you for uploading. I was in Costa Rica talking with this Ausi chick and she's like "that's so funny you like to do the Melbourne shuffle, I haven't heard anyone mention it in like ten years." Then I searched for my saved video of a lower quality version of this one and it was removed and I was thinking how do I find it?...Oh yeah search Melbourne shuffle 90s and this video came up. Thanks mate.
How early 2000s was so early 2000s. >:}
I grew up in Melbourne. Before this vid came out we just called it dancing.
I recognise about four or five people from this video, the good old days.
Its crazy seeing this is the start of shuffling in such good quality, I was not even 1 when this was shot but i really wish I could have seen it in person
Wish I had shot more of it, we did a ton of dance parties. Maybe do a search for Wetmuzik3
th-cam.com/video/Hr_OeGvEs1I/w-d-xo.html
It's actually an Irish Centric dance... Hence why it's so good and effective for those who understand the meanings behind dance moves... :)
Interesting theory, but I doubt it. My experience over the time spent with these people, was it had little to do with ethno-cultural influence & much to do with chemical & local environmental influences.
Ah I miss these days.....
I'm so old that I still think & want to be young on the inside. Then when seeing my generation I'm so old I think "was I ever that young"?? What a strange feeling, feeling young & old at the same time for many different reasons. 😅
mate! I was old when I shot this, now I'm completely farked. 😂😜
Melbourne shuffle: the original, and still the best!
They’ll all be parents now scrolling through insta
that’s krazy now in cali dawg we used to have shuffle krews in 09-13 , but now the dance just evolved into something else 🔥
Even then it was an evolution from something else, the hardest part to contend with is that it was so long ago & that I'm in my 60s & most of the shufflers in the video are in there 40s. Thanks for the comment mate.
so just what kids in the UK were doing in the mid 90s with rave or the 70s with northern soul
Not according to the DJ"s that use to tour from the UK Germany and Sweden. They generally use to comment on the dance style in Melbourne as being unique. We use to tour some big names in techno and tech house in the day, and it struck us as interesting that we'd always get these comments. I'm not saying that there isn't other places on the planet where similar styles exist, but the basis of the the name came from the comments.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs What a load of tripe. This style of dance was well 90s, just look at Prodigys LeeRoy Thornhill. Thats where you got it from. You guys are muppets. I CLEARLY remember when you crew turned up pretending like you owned the scene. It wasn't Melbourne either, Brisbane had a decent shuffle crew mid 90s. System 6 crew did it better.
i can smell the talc and sweat still. Miss those days
I am in utter pain, I miss rooms full of people who can move like that and get lost for hours in the shuff…
I hear you. I like an ache or meloncholy longing to experience that time again.
Don't know about original Melbourne shuffle because back in the day global village is where it all started for me when I was 15 and we used to call it bopping and where talking early to mid 90s. Proper raves !!!! Hardware shed 14 docks
Yes Hardware was who Simon Digby & myself use to do the production for back then. I have some footage on my feed of EPTAS with Simon & Will E Tell. Don't know if I have any Hardware footage in the archives.
Yes agree, there was no name for it, it was just dancing. Also the raves where you had to call a number to get the address, then when you got there had to call again, like orienteering 😂 out in the middle of effing nowhere in the bush.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs I remember Hardware. Used to do the welcome NYE events? Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Slam etc. I was born 1990, missed out. Thankfully my friends older brother used to have tapes of Noom , Bonzai and R&S Records. Also Colin Faver's mix tapes. From 4 years old going to bed with dialactrum - pitchfall to Nexus 6 - Tres chic. Thought my bedroom was a spaceship. My favourite of all time though was when I first heard Welcome 2001 NYE. Slam - Positive Education was the 1st track if I remember correctly. I'm envious to those who got to enjoy the nightlife back then. You still had that positivity and creativity in the air. Good music, good culture and Itchy & Scratchy (sweetness & light). Lucky sons of .....
This was a few years before people started adding in the running man. It was nicer just gliding over the beat not stomping on it.
HILARIOUS 😂 🤣 😆
Amazing
This gotta be where the hack started
what a workout
Wow we are back in the 90s again
Good god that clothing. I was like tf is this the 90's pretty close. My how times have changed eh.
MMMMMMMMMELBOURNE ⚠🙌♥🎶
We were doing this in the 90s in Sydney 😎👍
Looks ridiculous 😂
amazing! too bad i didnt live in australia in that time XD
Chick at the end of video in the blue hoodie is peaking lol
This is how everyone is dressing in America right now lol
"Who needs to go to the Jim"
Richmond raves ( Canada ) 1996 👍🙂
The Sydney shuffle scene was never weird like this ❤️🔥
yeah true, Will E Tell & Simon Digby aka Wet Muzik did a few gigs in Sydney. A very different scene to the point that the tunes that were bombs in Melbourne virtually cleared the floor in Sydney. I absolutely get your point.
@@MDCDiGiPiCsIn saying that tho this event looks really small somewhat niche, there was alot of small clubs in Sydney that i never went too so maybe I'm just unaware 🤷🏽♂️
my question is why can’t i find swag pants like this anymore that aren’t over $200 from some designer brand? where did they all go 😾
Yo this happened on the day that I was born
this could have been from this year the fashion trends have almost entirely come back
I thought i seen the melbourne shuffle, but i guess i didnt.
Some of these boys and girls had some smooth combinations of moves.
Dude, are you the one who shot and edited it? The quality is perfect! Nevertheless, thank you so much for reuploading it! This video is the very first uploaded on TH-cam, from 2005, so it's amazing to watch it in a higher and crisper quality!
Yes sir. I did shoot and edit this back in the day. I'm so happy to hear from you and that you appreciate it. Thanks so much.
@@MDCDiGiPiCs I know I'm as asking much, but... Do you have more footage like this that you can upload?
@@luhamay got a ton of raw footage, but have a look at my feed there's a few other gigs that I shot. Also have a look at wetmusik there should be some cool stuff from parties that we threw back in the 2000s. I might add some historical info to this clip in the coming days. I'll try to remember some stuff. 😜
Drugs can make you do anything and make you believe you are amazing
This needs the Thomas the Tank Engine music.
There was a similar doco o J TV, about the shuffle's origins and how visiting DJ's named the dance style. And then it came main stream where everyone was doing it and wasn't cool anymore.
There was a doco made by the ABC called neuridancer, they shot some of the party footage at a Hardware party at shed 14 featuring CJ Bolan. Unfortunately I can't find a link to the doco. If you manage to find it you get to see a very young Simon Digby and a slightly younger me in a short interview. 😂😜
@@MDCDiGiPiCs I'd say you would have to go through the ABC archives in the JTV day's in the mid 2000's. And found the doco. th-cam.com/video/i7frKDtfI6E/w-d-xo.html
2:55 Editing on point
Thanks for the complement, very much appreciated. ❤️
Yo this where the eccys at!!
i remember seeing this back in the seventies..except the music was better.
fruit bats.
Go team ❤️
Way before the invasion of smartphone enthusiasts. Good times😊
Hi I'm your freestyle dance teacher
What is the tracks id?
Track names are at the bottom of the description 👍
TECHNO TECHNO DOOF DOOF!
What cameraman leaves out the footwork in almost every shot? 😂
❤
Yeah alright... Iv had a few big nights out too 😂
this was on a Sunday afternoon 😜😂😂
How long did Dream nightclub go on for?
It was so long ago. My senility has fully kicked in. 😂😂 Might be a good question for Google. 😜
Love it! But I can’t help thinking the Cambridge shuffle from the late 80’s and early 90’s from the UK was the original…
Kite High and Proper stuff illegal raves was the first place I’ve seen shuffling.
Shuffling for the world 🌎 ❤
You are more than likely correct, the shuffle in this video & it's name was the result of the comments made by many international DJ's that we use to tour, & we toured a lot of big names. The overwhelming number of comments centred around the Melbourne scene & the dance style, both having a uniqueness. Without doubt, similar styles exist or existed elsewhere, but the fact remains that artists like Carl Cox, Humate, Der Dritte Raum and Thomas Shoemaker are just a few examples of those who come to memory that expressed their delight in the uniqueness of the Melbourne scene. Strangely one Carl Cox was so taken by the scene that he migrated to Melbourne.
Carl Cox was a regular at my local rave night in Nottingham, along with Fabio, DJ SS, Slipmatt, Grooverider, old school house.
It’s a good thing music has no borders 🙌🏽
Does anyone know any of the tracks thx
2nd is Woody McBride - Off the ceiling (Advent remix)
3:18 girl can get it
