Melbourne Beats

universal sea wrote: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.

Now all I've got to do is think of wot to play...

I personally haven't prepared anything. I'm thinking a Parov Stelar tribute, with a dash of local Asia-Pacific producers, could be a nice twist. My set last week was great, I don't necessarily need a quality recording this week. You on the other hand... mr off beat debut...

Speaking of my greatness, here is the audio from my 18th Off Beat set. 70MB or something.

Spose I'd better get a wriggle on.

Excellent sets from Paranoid Edge and Lephrenic last week.

Audio is up on www.umfm.net - check the Off Beat show for specifics.

This week we have our last quiet one for a while before the series takes off with special events every week.

Lephrenic and Sea, 2 hours each, and a horde of young backpackers. It's also my mother's birthday, I must remember to call her. Come by and say hi.

Next week - Thursday the 14th - I Love Drumfunk - your pre-drink destination for all the excellent happenings in the city. We'll have chilled out dnb courtesy of Zero Hour, Agent Orange and Lephrenic.

zomg teh drums tbh

Did you find my backpack? Is that what you are saying?

straight up if anybody found your lost assortment of music, they're probably becoming a DJ right now, and off beat's the only gig they'd find where they could play it... they'll show up... play their set, and the DBoys will wait for them outside. It will be beautiful, sinister, man-made karma

"backpackers" refer to people who live in temporary housing when they visit new cities, and I am hoping a hundred of them show up tonight.

you mean theres more kiwis making their way to Victoria??

i'm hoping for swedes, danes, uruguayans, russians, japanese-brazilians...

Japanese with Brazilians?

ah, you must be dealing with the Greenhouse.

Alrite last night was crazy fun in strange ways. Nice when random strangers show up, and nice when they drive you home, even if you mistakenly tell them to turn left, it takes them on a toll highway, and far away from where you were going. Thank you K & A.

Well next week we have a very special Off Beat, highlighting atmospheric drum & bass from three quality selectors. Hope you can make it, should be a good pre-drink for the other important things in town that night.

That's a step up from massages for the DJ's.
I'll have to book in a set for myself when the go-go ancing cages are installed.

You're the one who called heads. And I wasn't even flipping a coin at the time.

I never go wrong ladies. Other DJs, however...

Lotsa gems from Dgohn, Macc, Polska, Fracture & Neptune and some goodies from Subvert Central's Digital Soundclash series.

i havent bought any records for over a year now so i'll be playing nothing from last year if that helps! huhue

universal sea wrote:this week's Drunkfunk DJs - you have anything in particular lined up?

Maybe they're lining up for some oral delights?

This thread is quickly degenerating into a crossbreed of a dwarf and a wooden spoon.

Tell me you slipped in something nasty, dark and obnoxious for when no one is looking. lol

aight, not sure what time horses normally feed (cha?), so there will be no clever play on words.

What I will say, is this.

well there ya go.

thanks for having me!

Good warm up for final Blaze down at Lounge.
Great to see Huge on the decks at both venues. Nice tunage.
Had to bail after Huge played but I'll be back.

good stuff guys, thanks a lot for coming

more drumfunk to come for sure

We're most privileged this week to be hosting one of the founding members of Australian hip hop scene, DJ Krisy. It's my good friend Kim's 26th birthday, and a lot of Heavyweight crew will be in the house... hence the Heavyweight DJ.

8pm-late, with Lephrenic and myself, should be a special one.


DJ Krisy (Zulu Nation member) was born in Melbourne Australia and her fascination with the hip hop culture began in the early 80s. Krisy embarked the culture with the elements of graffiti and breakdancing. Then, throughout 1989-1996, Krisy made a name for herself over the airwaves. Steppin’ to the AM was the show, 106.7 PBS FM was the station. The success of the show prompted Krisy to enter into the 1997 DMCs, making history as the first Australian female to compete. She gained an impressive third place. As an aspiring turntablist, Krisy began to receive offers to do DJ supports. Del, Q Bert, Company Flow and People Under The Stairs as well as local Melbourne artists like Bias B, Pac, Reason, Def Wish Cast, etc.... and, soon formed her resume.

Between gigs, she became involved in community youth workshops with local rappers She Kat and Lil G. In 1999 they staged a hip hop inspired musical called Bass Anger. In 2005, Krisy got behind the scenes as a stage manager working on Heavyweight. She also got the privilage to interview celebrity actor/rapper Ice T. In the works, is a mixtape of pure hip hop blends soon to hit the shelves. Krisy will also be entering with DJ Smitten-DMC Team Battle. Both Krisy & DJ Smitten are part of an all female crew called Ladiesluv which comprises of female emcee's, B Girls and graffiti artists. Check your local guide and you’ll be able to check Dj Krisy around town.

I'll try to make it down for this. Set times?

8pm - Sea
a little after 9:30pm - Krisy
around 11pm - Lephrenic
