Every subculture has a defining moment after which it is irrevocably changed.
For Sydney's Vibe Tribe, that moment arrived on the night of April 8 th , 1995. Freequency - the next in a long lineage of free parties held by the Vibe Tribe in Sydney Park was in progress. Over five hundred people were dancing to the chaotic lo-fi acid sounds pumping from a dodgy sound system. Unbeknownst to most, a group of 40 police with batons and riot shields were gathering on the outskirts of the park, planning to shut the party down. At 2am the police moved in.
