オープニングのプレイは「The Dreamteam」と題されて、Buzz Fuzz、Dano、Gizmoの3組がDJリレーを行うといった、まさに夢のような共演からはじまった。このDJのリレーには、私のみならず胸を熱くした人たちは会場にたくさんいたであろう。〈Thunderdome〉創世記を作った男達が入れ替わり曲を流すたび、歴史のページを覗いている気持ちになった。
The opening act was called “The Dreamteam,” and boasted a three-man group formed by Buzz Fuzz, Dano and Gizmo performing a DJ relay. It was a surreal group performance. I’m certain that the venue was filled with people who were as excited with this DJ relay as I was. Each time one of the men who had written Thunderdome Genesis took his turn to play songs, I felt as though I glimpsed a page of history.
次に彼らに入れ替わるようにDarkraverがステージに立つ。軽快なHappy Hardcoreのチューンをベースにしたプレイであり、なにより満面の笑みでプレイする姿が印象的であった。甘いマスクのイタリアの人気Hardcore DJのMaddog、音楽ゲーム『Bemani』シリーズに楽曲も提供した事もある覆面DJ：Art of fighters、そして我々が行ったインタビューでもっともインパクトのある言葉を残してくれたThe Stunned Guysの面々がライブを行った際のフロアの盛り上がりは最高潮に達していた。
Then Darkraver took the stage by relieving the former DJ. The basis of his performance was a pleasant happy hardcore tune, and what left an impression on me above all was the full-faced smile with which he performed. The excitement on the floor reached a climax when the delicately featured and popular Italian DJ Mad Dog; the masked DJs from Art of Fighters, who have contributed to the music video game series Beatmania; and The Stunned Guys, who made the biggest impact during the interview we conducted, held their live performances.
