-=|OVERViEW|=-

PHAT2 is quite unusual fusion of demoparty and muzikparty taking place in special conditions and atmosphere. the place is planned to be full of action with possibility to rest at your own space and great territory for lonely trippers to explore. more or less active, event is planned 3 days and 3 nights nonstop, starting with 20th september though considering experience with previous nonstop parties we predict activity to be quite low during daytime. however, music wont stop for a minute!

there are six sectors @ P.2::

i>demohall [compos/demoshows/scene special films/infoscreen]
ii>muzikfloor i [15KW blasting soundsystem]
iii>muzikfloor ii [6KW in a smaller floor]
iv>scenetown [vip area for sceners, artists and participants]
v>outside [park and huge industrial territory]
vi>rest of space [scene kiosk/infodesk/registration booth/bars/etc]

so what's happening here.. we will have compos on lots of platforms if only there are contributions, see details in compos section. then, demoshows on c64, amiga, PC, speccy, 8bit atari, gbc/gba, dreamcast, psx and mac are planned. selection of videos from scene parties etc.

during these 3 days and nights ~10 VJs will be presenting their latest moving pictures and ~70 musicians and DJs from all around Europe performing during 3 days and nights in the 2 musichalls. techno / electro / chipmuzik / drum'n'bass / jungle / dub / reggae / trip-hop / hip-hop / noise / industrial / ambient / idm / punk / funk / jazz - you'll have it there as both live performances and DJ sets.

scenetown is a very special place worth a seperate mention. it'll consist mostly of rooms == group-hqs. we will build these rooms ourselves as much and as big each one as needed. group-hqs are supposed to be a home-like-place for sceners to survive whole party. groups can reserve their own room (their group-hq) while registering. to preserve cosy atmosphere, this space will be alike VIP zone, that just means it will be only for sceners, artists and organizers while the rest of party is open for all visitors - to let the people experience performances and get introduced to demoscene.

the place itself is simply incredible. imagine yourself in an early autumn, the sun shines silent way warming up your old bones, yellow and red leaves under your feet in an cosy and lonely industrial enviroment within big smoke city Riga is.

partyplace is not far from center, in fact on the edge of it. it's 3 floor building with huge halls located in industrial territory of radioelectronics factory VEF (was one of most popular brands in USSR). nowadays only few parts of factory are still working.

how to get there - check travelpage!

some photos of the partyplace and area around coming soon.

in general, there are no rules. we just have to make your thing run / show / play correctly. you know the basic rules (no stealing, unreleased blah etc), they are long time scene traditions and i wont list'em here since i believe all tha phat visitors got their scener-ethics. just to tell - no need to have non-tagged versions of pics or something since author name will be shown anyway.

i> MEGADEMO

the biggest thang around. depends on entries and number of them but most of all - on contributors, if there is gonna be joint democompo for all platforms or some categories. just make something nice - and as i expect at least 5 demos, the compo might be interesting enough.

ii> 1KBYTER

intro. maximum size 1024 bytes. may contain sex, violance, rascism and sound.

iii> 40KBYTER

intro and this time 40KB is the limit and you know why just because 64KB is too much and also 40KB categories at compos are rather rare and why shouldn't we keep 40KB alive?! should we..

iv> (CRACK)iNTRO

err, well, it must be unreleased too but you can release it after party and even brag in your scrolltext about place you got in the compo. or if you're just demogroup, why not giving a present to your brothers from illegal scene?

v> CHiPMUZiK

aye aye! only for true chipmuzik, the one which is really coming outta computors internal synth.. or, wait that one and +++ amiga chipmuzik as well cause it's so chippy and takes up 5kb. but watch it! no lame digital samples allowed =)

vi> DiGiMUZiK

and this one for digidigidigi - use as much samples and channels as you wish.. info on editor and number of channels etc will be shown during or before replaying track.

vii> LORESLOCOLGFX

everything below $ff colors counts.. i believe 99% contributions to come from speccy and c64 sceners tho'. is it fair to mix different gfxmodes in one compo? yes, i guess so since i find all these works equally beautiful + i know most of voters @ PHAT2 will know the difference between these modes. info on editor and platform will be shown before each picture.

viii> HIRESHICOLGFX

any color depth but preferably not less than $100 and 320x200. pixeled, rendered, designed - doesnt matter. sorry, this time just picture counts! however parameters, technique and editors will be shown before actual pic again.

ix> ANALOGFX

yes the idea is stolen from alternative party (we just follow the trend, we follow assembly ;). picture must be drawn on paper, deliver copies and if possible, scanned version too.

x> L0G0LEG0

this is logo compo. any resolution, any colordepth, any platform. should say PHAT. anything else will do as well.

xi> ASCII/ANSi/PETSCII

this compo might be divided into several if there will be enough entries. nothing more to say... no rules here either.

xii> PHOTOGRAAFIJA

any photo taken by you. we need it scanned or we can also scan it for you if you deliver. photos with digicams accepted as well. name of photo and comment will be shown before each of them.

xiii> REALTiMEPHOTO

photo taken during party. bring your own camera or borrow from mate or even organizers. you'll see.

xiv> STYLEWARZ

unfortunately, only if you bring your own cans. or we can buy them for you once you are at the party. might have several categories like tags and pieces or even more if there are enough peeps interested.

xv> TRIPPIN'

gather team and find 10 lost 5.25" disks within territory of VEF using special map and signs you will find on the way. who's first?

xvi> WILDEMO

anything
