Q1) Tell us a little bit about your event

HOMEHELP is a charity event set up by Home nightclub to help raise funds for OXFAM COMMUNITY AID ABROAD - to assist those affected by military action in Iraq. It will help relief operations in Iraq such as providing clean water, sanitation, food and water to the Iraqi people in need. On the night we will be using 2 rooms the terrace & silver room with 11 DJs and 1 MC who are all donating their services!

The event kicks off at 6pm on Sunday 4th of May and continues through till the wee hours of the morning. Entry to Homehelp will be through the terrace - by taking the escalators in Cockle Bay Wharf to the roof and following the signs to Terrace @ Home. All in all this event's a chance to have fun and at the same time do you bit to help people less fortunate than yourself.

Q2) Why have you decided to support this particular charity
organisation

Everyone has been gripped by the Iraq situation, and we have seen mass protests about the war throughout Australia and the rest of the world. It doesnt matter if you were for or against military action in Iraq, it has now happened. And because of it, thousands of inoccent people are now suffering. Oxfam are at the forefront of the humanitarium aid in Iraq, and they need funds to do the job right, so donating disco dollars to this cause for those in need, is one way you can help if you are feeling frustrated, angry or helpless about the situation.

Q3) What DJs will be playing on the night?

We have asked some of Sydneys finest leading and up n coming house, breaks and Hip Hop Djs to donate theire services to the event and make the party a night to remember as well as helping a good cause. On the terrace we have Jason Bye, John Devecchis, Jackster, The Rookies, Homegrown, Mark Myers & Dave Goode and in the silver room Loose On 12s, MO Funk, Smith & Weeitchin & MO Shrappy will be cutting it up on the wheels of steel.

Q4) What kind of music can people expect to hear on the night.

As the night is a fundraiser we will be pushing the party vibe and keeping it funky. We are using the 2 rooms for variety, splitting them up with house on the terrace and Hip Hop/Breaks n funk in the silver room.

We will be auctioning off different stuff which has been kindly donated !!! You will have to come and see to find out what they are !!!! Alternatively keep an eye on the ITM and ResidentAdvisor.com.au forums where we'll be leaking some information about the items we've got to auction off!

Q6) Do you have a slogan for the event?

After all the protesting it is time to "PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS" and help support the people in need!
