collectors' set wrote:Collectors' Set presents a weekly variety showcase evening at The Recorded Music Salon, rounding up an eclectic selection of local musicians and DJs accompanied by a great cocktail list.
Some performers may choose to experiment with their line up and instrumentation to fit the environment and DJs will enjoy the rare opportunity to dig deep into their collections and deliver sets that transcend the pressures of the dance-floor.
Collectors' Set aims to create intimately unique listening experiences involving the guitar slinging, keyboard clinking, vinyl spinning music merchants of Melbourne town.
Each week's showcasers will be backed up by resident DJ's and co-curators of the night Jason Heller and Lucreccia Quintanilla
ENTRY IS FREE.
I'm really looking forward to this one - for people who have enjoyed my off beat sets - expect more of the same, and other diversions into stuttered nodding music, dub and jungle atmospherics, with electronic smudges and scapes to keep me interested...Oscar Yañez and James Condon - DJ sets - Saturday 29th March
Lost Animal and Free Choice - Live - Saturday 5th April
Foundation Stepper and Attack and Release - DJ sets - Saturday 12th April
Ai Yamomoto and Anomyneye - Live - Saturday 19th April

As can be seen from the line up - a whole swag of great local music makers and djs - the organisers clearly have impeccable taste
Recorded Music Salon is at 11 Collins St - opened a few months ago and got the late license quite recently

Looks like a yummy place, and a nice bar for a jaunt: a review on the venue, and another
Opening the modest aluminium door with it’s stylised logo that looks like it’s existed since the 70s, reveals a set of stairs that leads to the Recorded Music Salon Café. Immediate point of differentiation. It doesn’t carry the swagger of corporate and fashionista wank that is the top end of Collins St. Quite the opposite, it’s a haven of relaxed sophistication. Sunlight bounces off shiny off the naturally finished furnishings, varying lighting features separate the bar and dining areas, vinyl cushioned stools and chairs, it’s a casual oasis away from work.
