Aphrodite + Shock one + Lowqui - 12th of Feb @ Brown Alley

DJ Lickweed · Post by **DJ Lickweed** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 10:08 pm

APHRODITE (UK) DJ Aphrodite aka Gavin Kings career in DJing and production has spanned 16 years and under various guises, Godfather of jungle, King of the Beats and more is responsible for introducing, entertaining and moving millions of Drum and Bass fans accross the globe. His travels are far reaching and is in constant demand to spread his own good strong dance vibe from clubs to large festivals. His productions find themselves into CD players, MP3 players, films, radio, TV and DJ record bags all over the world. Two successful artist albums, Aphrodite and Aftershock on V2 records with a third to be released very soon, numerous Mix albums, Urban Jungle, Overdrive, Urban Junglist and more make DJ Aphrodite one of the most influential and most listened to players in the entire Drum and Bass world.

SHOCKONE (AUS) Hailing from Perth, the epicenter of the Australasian drum and bass scene, ShockOne aka Karl Thomas is fast becoming one of D&Bs major talents. From his origins in a band with Rob & Gareth from Pendulum, through to his recent assault on drum and bass dance floors worldwide, his musical energy and expression is powerful to say the least. Karl quickly found his own voice in the drum and bass sound, which culminated in his first two singles being picked up instantly by DJ Friction for his Shogun Audio imprint, in the shape of "Silverscreen", and the party smasher "It's On", before putting out a devastating 12" for Andy C's Frequency label, in the shape of "The riddler" and "We be droppin this", which saw his sound gain airplay on BBC Radio 1. With his tracks being aired frequently by the scenes biggest hitters such as Andy C, Hype, Friction, High Contrast and Matrix + Futurebound, watch out for his next massive single!

MC LOWQUI (UK) In every sense of the word, LowQui is the complete MC. A host, a lyricist and a crowd entertainer, he brings a passion for drum n bass to the forefront that has electrified dance floors across the globe. His love of the music always comes first and LowQuis true skill is in matching his flow to the DJ to get the vibe of the night just right. With over a decade of experience at some of the biggest club nights across the UK and beyond, its no surprise that Lowqui is Goldies number one MC of choice. In 2008, LowQui has continued his affiliation with Metalheadz as well as featuring alongside D-Bridge for the Exit Records boss debut album tour.

On the night we will have a few stages running backed up by some of the most unique talent from around the nation incl. Cubist, Spinfx, Bonsai, Access (W.A.), Monkee (W.A.), Muska vs Kodiak Kid, Craig Pringle vs Pauly Fatlace, Baron Von Rotton vs The Shredder, Lickweed, MC Harzee and Skirmish + roof top smoking area with decks and a dance floor!

Aphro-muthafucking-diteee.

Been waiting years for him to come. "All Over Me" and "Put A Cut On It" are in my top 20 D+B songs of all time.. So what if he's been writing the same song over and over... meh.

As long as he digs into his back catalogue and doesn't do too much of a Eurotrash Jumpup set me will be moooost heeappy. Oh yeah, and doesn't take his top off and run around mid set.

That's our job.

Anyone remember the Aphrodite and Micky Finn gig at that place on the corner of Chapel St and Toorak Road in the 90’s? They played on the dodgem cars course? Think it was called Style Wars…? Never forget boogieing to jump up all night long!

Sweet as, last time I saw Aphrodite was at first floor on brunswick st and it was fuckin packed as, air con had packed it in and sweat was dripping from the roof like rain. Wicked gig tho, place went of when he dropped 'bad ass'.

Night before a mates wedding. Tempting. In fact totally going.

I saw him in Canberra last time he was here. Propper rave. Was great.

Love his over compressed snares. He totally has just remixed one song for the last 15 years, but meh. So good regardless.

Jump Up was what got me into DnB along with old skool hardcore.

spin · Post by **spin** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 11:01 pm

ive supported him a few times, always gives me a few white labels, nice chap, last time he played a heap of ram dubs, was well wicked.

pretty razed up, king of the beats n all that...

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Fri Feb 12, 2010 6:15 pm

Gonna miss this one in favour of ACDC.
Seen Aphrodite at Hi-Fi about 8 years ago. Good vibe, but I had way too much youth back then.

Raider · Post by **Raider** » Sat Feb 13, 2010 12:25 pm

Was an awesome night. Have to say I was disappointed by Aphrodite but then I wanted him to play Urban Shakedown and all his old classics, and I guess that was never going to happen lol...

Cubist did a killer set, big ups! and shock one was awesome as usual. Fun night, good vibe. thanks to the organisers was a well run night

Rollin · Post by **Rollin** » Sat Feb 13, 2010 4:26 pm

What a great night... well done guys..

spewin i couldn't stay through to the end..

Big ups all round.

Big ups all round.

The sound was absolutely terrible towards the end of Aphrodites set. The highs were piercing my ears and I had to leave the room. It's almost 24hours later and my ears are still ringing and muffled. I havent damaged my ears that badly at a gig in a long time!

Other than that it was a great party, good vibe.Aphrodites old school selection was rather limited

ulyssian · Post by **ulyssian** » Sun Feb 14, 2010 5:23 pm

mad as night... fucking wicked!!!!
cubist was fabulous and fresh as standard!
shockone, all i expected and more, definitely one of my most fave djs to hear/see! danced ass off, had a good laugh and plenty of random convos with a really friendly punters.
great vibe in the place.
aphro was not doing it for me so went into beer garden and stomped around to shreds and baron, always amazing tunes.
Lowqui, Dyslexic, Harzee... wonderful MCing by all of you, really made the night special - mad respect guys.
upstairs is the best place for burning a hole in ya wallet (or just burning ya wallet altogether)!
drink prices still hurt.
great work by the promo guys, outstanding gig... 2010 is just amazing!
Dero crew....

bonsai · Post by **bonsai** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 9:59 am

had an awesome time till I had to bail due to sickness.

massive big ups to Harzee & Dan for the wicked rhymes.. professionals.

bring on Xample & Lomax.
