Well what can be said, the students have pulled of a marathon effort in presenting the fine selection of 6 DJ's selected by Richard.

So a huge thank you for your amazing efforts in solving the many technical issues that presented themselves at the worse times; and for weaving pixels in a manner that complimented the subject matter - you all went above and beyond! BRAVO!

A big thanks also to Mad Rod for his historically intimate connection to all the DJ's in bringing out the best in them.

A warm thanks to all the amazing DJ's who gave of their knowledge and experience, and weaved an incredible selection of tunes that helped birth the 90's Raves.

A special thank you to the support trainers and staff Stef.F, Josh.B, Andy.S, David.S, David.B, Mike.C, Bek.N, Eneti.W, Luke.R, John.P, Gavin.C, and Peter.G.

And finally, to all you Raver pioneers out there that hopefully made the 90’s dance experience a positive move towards a better world!

Rave Fantastic was filmed entirely live in the Historic Radio Theater Studio at RMIT Melbourne Australia. We are all very grateful for that opportunity.

Hope to see you all next year, same bat-time, same bat-channel!

Many say the pinnacle of our city’s rave culture was the late ’80s and ’90s. The music at its best. The birth of the Melbourne Shuffle. But raves are back in the ’20s, with a bang.
