Agenda: Light It Up- ONE LAST BLAZE!!!
Agenda: Light It Up- ONE LAST BLAZE!!!
4 and a half years ago I took the reigns of a night at Lounge called Blaze. A weekly night which hoped to carry on the already strong tradition of dnb on Thursday nights at Lounge. Following on from the likes of Soulaar and 40Hz it proved to be no easy task but over the next three years the run of gigs that followed under the Blaze/Blazin' banner were some of the biggest that Lounge had ever seen. From the 5 Light It Up sessions, a host of internationals such as Trace, Breakage, Chis Inperspective, Makoto, Krust, Zinc and Scream to the easter bunny playing to a packed dance floor many quality beats have filled the venue and spilled out onto the balcony upstairs to punters, DJs, trainspotters and randoms alike. It has been a great ride and one I consider myself very lucky to have been part of. I remember Soulaar dancefloor action like it was yesterday.
It has been a more low key affair downstairs with Hidden Agenda for the last year or more but one that has kept the beats rolling onward. I am deeply sad to announce now that after all this time, all these beats, and an enormous amount of effort from everyone who has partaken in this ride, Thursday 14th February will be our last Agenda at Lounge spelling the end of what must be nearly a decade of D&B at the venue.
Please spread the word.
Come down for a beer, soak up some tunes and a good dose of friendly vibe one final time... it will also be my last gig for quite some time....

Huge props to all who have held it down at Lounge on Thursdays over the years. Even though it made it difficuilt to function at on Fridays, some great nights, too many to mention I reckon.
Apart from those dodgy blue Lounge posters a few years back, everything has been mint. Good times.
See you at the bar!

Too much respect for fikuss. Got so many good memories of playing and being a punter at lounge. For every good story theres also forgotten story's...I think between Tim, Keir, Fred McFly and myself we could come up with a pretty thick story book.
Mad biggups to The lounge boss's, Luke Mc D, Bo, all the bar staff and out good mate Coby for supporting drum n bass 100% over the years, without that support there wouldnt of been a soulaar, 40hz or Blazin and def no Agenda.
Just a word of advice for anyone coing to the last one...
Get friday off - Its gonna be BLAZIN!

man, I am really really sad about this.
and this is one of the worst times in the last two years I have had to be the messenger.
massive bigups and respect for Kombat Bass, Fents, tim and Keir for all the hard yards and pure love they put into DnB here, and bringing it to a much wider audience.
I have to say the nights you guys did upstairs here, specifically skream/zinc and makoto, were two of my personal favorite gigs here ever.
that skream gig opened my eyes and ears to dubstep, and I am eternally grateful!
not to mention the fact that all of you are just dudes, so humble, and great to work with. every scene needs no bullshit djs and promoters like you guys. thankyou from kitty and all who have gone before me.
now, you all should really come down and help us drink the bar dry.
k?

We're lookin to have everyone and anyone who has previously played over the last 4odd years to come play a couple of tunes and have more than a couple beers with us to see things off this thursday night.
So quick heads up to anyone i've not yet spoken with, if your free thurs, grab a small handful of beats (& your spare liver) and come join us for one last blaze!

I had to come out of an almost year-long hiatus to pay respects...
I hope everyone goes down and blows the roof off the place. Thursdays at Lounge were a continuation of the Soulaar days for me and I'm afraid that Melbourne won't be the same without it whenever I get back for good.
Moreso, Fenton, Timmy and Keir, youse guys are all like me brothers and shit and that. Starting me off, giving me gigs, giving me a social inlet back into the scene after all my old dnb crew went O/S and all that. Special.
Hope it's a top night. I'll catch up with you all when I'm back (briefly) for about a week. First week of April or something. Someone put a gig on and let's get trunk as.
All my sex,
Dave.
