universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 6:43 pm

Sunday August 5th we return for the tenth in our series of anything-goes Off Beats, hosted at the exquisite Workshop in Melbourne.

This time, scattered around our calvacade of broken beats, downtempo, ambient, hip-hop, lightcore and IDM sounds, we welcome Unsoundbwoy to our crew before he departs the city for another voyage abroad. Joining him, we're proud to bring back Foundation Stepper, whose FFFebruary Off Beat set was one of the finest we've heard in a long line of fine sets.

The lineup:

- FOUNDATION STEPPER
- UNSOUNDBWOY
- LEPHRENIC
- SEA

You need not be Canadian to attend this one, but you must be alive and conscious for it to be legal.

Date: Sunday August 5th 2007
Time: 4pm-10pm (including a $1 BBQ from 5pm-7pm)
Place: Workshop - 413 Elizabeth Street (enter via A'Beckett) in Melbourne
Cost: Nothing, other than a place to store a wonderful memory in your life

Ok bitches, I'll be back after detox is done. [A rare edit for sake of sobrietry]

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 7:32 pm

Let's all be nice people, then.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 3:09 pm

We're two weeks away, which means I'm not drinking for two more weeks. Flyers are now out around the city and surrounding suburbs.

My set is looking good, it's going to have elements of excellent hip-hop and a nice little IDM segway, balanced with some orchestral, latin and ambient.

I have some Lalo Schifirin on the menu, as well as Canada's own Legion of Green Men, Lupe Fiasco, James Brown, Thievery Corporation, and a lot more.

I really want to check one of these out now, Sea. You sold me well. Sounds truly interesting. Can I bring my kids?

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 6:52 pm

This is a family friendly event. I'll leave the Ice T albums at home.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 7:50 pm

I just got back from helping clean up CRAM (thanks Eric for the info on that), and I landed an original copy of Village People with the classics Macho Man and YMCA on it. Inspired by you.

As for the kids, as we've learned, a moustache and fake cleavage will get you past any security.

rediscovering old ghostly international, moor and planet-mu releases ...

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:52 pm

been stocking up on bunch of unreleased and other special goodies from around the world

IDMish electronic dubby stuff

excitment plus from this camp

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:22 pm

The excitement is contagious man, hold me.

I've been taking a break from them the past couple of months for sake of change, but this afternoon a huge pile of new releases and promo from Foreign Beggars' label arrived. So part of my nice little hip-hop segment I'll be dropping will feature some of this brand new shit off the press in the UK.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:25 pm

News - I'll be on Kiss FM for an excellent glitch, minimal and IDM show hosted by Not Happy Jan, to play a little of my more off beat off beat stuff. Sunday afternoon, Kiss FM, 12-2pm.

We'll be giving away free tickets to Off Beat, which, as you know, is free and doesn't require tickets, but I will still print some up if anybody calls.

Sea...u hanging with dat Carni crew again??

'Here's a lesson: Thoroughly cleanse your hands after cooking with chilis. You don't want to scratch anything.'

wtf??

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 12:28 am

It's a really good idea. My nuts were on fire earlier. I put two and two together, and chilis came out the other end. Brilliant.

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 1:34 am

Actually Cam (along with the rest of my mates) got to see only the last five minutes of my set last month. Only because a certain DJ thought he was playing after me, not before.

lolz fo srsly.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Fri Jul 27, 2007 12:14 pm

Cam's playing the following off beat. It would be in her best interests to make sure she is not repulsed by off beat or our selection of music.

sweetcheeks - you are both sweet, and lovely, and beyond both.

we're cooking sausages at 5pm, we can splash a little curry on them and let the ladies go pop music on them.

Set times for Sunday August 5th at Workshop:

4:00pm - Lephrenic
5:30pm - Unsoundbwoy
7:00pm - Sea
8:30pm - Foundation Stepper

A nice little mix up worthy of you being there at 3:30 to keep your excitement under wraps before we begin, and stay with us to 11pm or so, when the bonus set should wrap up (if you're lucky).

Enjoy putting those times in your mobile's calendar application, and catch you for further bumping soon.

my reading skills are lacking. i'm sooo there

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:09 pm

I look forward to people coming and not taking me seriously, thank you for that.

I also suggest people come fully dressed in TOGA gear. Which begs the question, should we throw an Off Beat Toga party one day?

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:13 pm

Sea.... are you cooking?

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:17 pm

Yes, I'm so hot I'm cooking, thanks baby.

er what do you mean?

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:20 pm

reeeeeephrase (tee hee hee)...

Sea.... are you cooking le sausages??

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:24 pm

um.... same answer ? aw yeah

In unrelated news, 5pm to 7pm, dollar BBQ and salad. You can't beat that, unless you habitually steal food from people.

come out, it's been a while, too long

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 4:41 pm

>> I'm a little slow on the humor.....

Well get to test these cooking skills of yours - yay... I think ..... oh and of course some sounds..... shame about unsoundbwoy no jungly stuff

Should be seeing you Sunday if plans stick!!

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 5:11 pm

Food is prepared and cooked by the lovely bar staff of Workshop. They love you even more if you tip them.

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 8:12 pm

Who doesn't love being tipped?

Other than people in wheelchairs

@ lephrenic - how long ago were those cd launches?

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 12:27 am

About three years ago, I think. Seems like only yesterday.

Wow the toga idea has taken off, but we'll chat about that in next month's thread.

It's a beautiful day outside, and even if it weren't I'd post that right now anyway. The excellent and most appropriate tenth Off Beat weekend is here.

I look forward to shaking your hand and rubbing you.

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 11:35 am

shit i almost forgot

this weekend!

gotta dust the old records off...

universal sea · Post by **universal sea** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 11:48 am

That would have made consecutive months that a star guest DJ had forgotten Off Beat, my goodness.

I suppose we are not worthy of memory, like that 89th pig in a line of pig at the abatoire.

quite the contrary.
those with random minds will play random tunes and thats what offbeat is good for.
