I’ve been craving the old days again.

Not because everything was better (it wasn’t), but because finding out what was on was dead easy.

You’d grab The Core or Onion on release day and flick straight to the events page. That list mattered. It was the difference between a big weekend and staying home because you “didn’t hear about anything.”

It wasn’t trying to entertain you. It was just information:

• who’s playing
• where it is
• what night
• maybe a door time
• maybe a ticket number

That’s it. You could scan it in 20 seconds and know if your weekend was sorted.

Then came the radio years. Late-night shows. Mix shows. Promos between tracks. You’d hear an ad and it wasn’t annoying — it was useful. It was literally how you found out. You’d call a mate, or you’d catch the next broadcast, or you’d write it down like it mattered (because it did).

Forums did the same thing later. Rave Adelaide, Adelaide Massive, Anthems, InTheMix. Messy, loud, heaps of opinions… but the info was there. One thread. One post. Clear details. The community kept it straight.

And for a while, email was the sweet spot. Monday morning: inbox. Events for the week. No scrolling, no guessing, no missing the details because they were buried under ten other posts. You could forward it to your mates and everyone was on the same page again.

Then Facebook arrived and slowly ruined the whole system.

Not the parties — the finding out. Everything turned into noise. You’d miss events that were “right there” because the algorithm didn’t feel like showing you. Details got hidden. Times changed. Links broke. Half the lineup was in the comments. You’d see the flyer twice and still not know the door time.

It’s chaos. And it’s weird because we already solved this problem years ago.

We had curators back then. Editors. Radio hosts. Forum mods. People who kept the list clean. We just didn’t call it curation — it was just how the scene worked.

That’s why I’m making mm.ussi.cc.

It’s not another social feed. It’s a plain list of events, from today onwards.

Artists and promoters can submit shows. And everyone else — punters, ravers, clubbers, whatever you call yourself now — can scan the list and make sure nothing gets missed.

And if you want it old-school, you can drop your email and every Monday you’ll get a simple rundown of the next 13 days of events.

Just the useful bit. The part we always turned to first.

Because honestly… we had it good and didn’t realise it.
