One youngster identified only as Daniel said part of the event's appeal was that it was illegal.
He said there was significant drug use at the party.
"Going against the grain, of course its fun," he said.
"Is it right? No. But is it fun? Yes."
The Daily Telegraph says the party was the eighth in a string of illegal raves held across Sydney known as "Channel" parties.
Others have been held at Sydney's Clovelly Beach, Artarmon and Alexandria.
Police have identified the owner of the warehouse, but were yet to interview him last night. It's not known if he was aware of the rave.
Partygoers posted comments online about the rave, accusing police of being too heavy handed.
One reveller, Wana3q, wrote: "If the cops just let the party go on then they wouldn't have had to shut down Parramatta Rd or deal with a potentially volatile situation. I feel it was a massive overreaction."
