Off Beat's taking a break to sit back and recollect. Good times ahead.

-----------------------------------------
the original post in the original thread:

I'm pleased to announce that our Off Beat series of gatherings begins on a weekly basis, Thursdays at Horse Bazaar, starting this evening (January 10th). We'll be coming up with something backed by a tech, creative and video backdrop, every Thursday evening.

Off Beat presents downtempo, idm, ambient, instrumental hip-hop, space rock and whatever goes, recorded for UMFM.net radio. All the past sets can be found at www.umfm.net/radio/shows.php?show=Off+Beat+Radio

Hope to see you at Horse Bazaar. If you are interested in DJing, performing live, or contributing some how, drop me a line.

I'm down in the dumps, anybody who cheers me up will be a hero.

Off Beat - weekly Thursdays, 8pm-1am
Horse Bazaar - 397 Little Lonsdale, Melbourne. Between Elizabeth and Queen.

Hope you made it home OK last night, my man. Big ups for helping me down a bottle of Tequilla yesterday and keeping my kids happy with playtime. Legend!

ok, we kick off this evening a little after 8pm. I will be playing several selections from idm/experimental indie act YORG, some of Mexico's finest space rock/electronica act Album, some 2SpacedOut, DelicaSession, Mum, and Higher Intelligence. Scattered amongst some hip-hop and ambient.

looking forward to it, see you soon.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:40 pm

I had a box of my stuff from canada arrive a few days ago, in it is some incredible vinyl from the now defunt Truth & Soul label that I've never had the chance to play. It's rare shit... plus some dnb from Autumn.. some wack shit i didnt get to play last week cause somehow i forgot my cds/records (first time ever)..

cammo and factory worker, i would hope you will grace the off beat decks again by the time summer is out. You played two of the best sets we've had so far.

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:55 pm

Had a bit of a listen to OB's set from last week up on umfm.net - man that selector got some style for real!

Rockin the laptop and the vinyl tonight. Man, all this shit's heavy. I need a Segway.

The future of the music is acapella and beatboxing lephrenic. In a year you can simply hum your set through a microphone, and people can hum along.

Paranoid Edge makes his Off Beat debut this Thursday.

We have a movie meeting a little earlier, then excellent sounds from lephrenic, our special guest and a short blast from myself.
