The long (and sometimes blurry) past of the Lounge can also be attributed to the large list of promoters and DJs who have been involved in making some of the most iconic nights in Melbourne. Remember Filter, Wednesday nights? It was one of the longest running Techno nights in the southern hemisphere. What about Loose Fit or Elect which seen Boogs, one of Melblournes most respected DJs, hold a residency for nearly 16 years.
Purveyours, ran by DJ Ranson held on for ~ 8 years


So now that we are turning 20 its time to party like it was 1989 all over again. So dust off those old skaters, bring out those hypothermal T-shirts, and get involved with the crude past that has made up Lounges record books for the past 20 years. To mark the special occasion we are planning a 2 day party from 8 pm on Saturday 16th January all the way through to 10pm and beyond on Sunday 17th January.

So that means 2 days of NON STOP partying with Lounge’s best DJs.

Highlights of the Birthday include:-
• Set by Lounge's longest runing DJ resident - Boogs
• Set by one of Melbournes biggest and most respected international
Breaks producers - Nick Thayer. With VERY special guest MC
N'Fa from 1200 Techniques!!
• Set by SMASH BANG live (one of Lounges resident LIVE acts)
• Music styles also include those from nights hosted at Lounge like:- Filter,
Loose Fit, Purveyours, Sneaky, Roxy, Combine, Slap, Inner City Trash, Turn up,
Out of Order, Smash Bang, Elect, Candy Store, Bass Camp, Bambaataa and
\many more.
• 20th Birthday prizes and giveaways for all happy party goers
• Drink specials on the day.

Oh i will definitely drop in for this. I started my clubbing life sneaking into Purveyors when i was like 17 with my sisters ID.

And had a residency there for a year on Thursday nights. Many many messy nights spent there!

Good work Lounge, happy birthday.

Ith your sisters ID!! ....lol...
How the hell did you pull that off????

I reckon I still get pissed just walking along Swanston...from the vibe!





Big ups 20 years!!!

Ah memories:
-Smoky late night Motive sets at Soulaar - Does anyone remember the Rinse Out Ring? That was fun.
-Rolling spliffs on the table on the balcony with only the threat of a bouncer asking for a toke.
-Having to squint my eyes to make myself look more like the person in my fake ID to get into club Filter
-Getting the shit eyefucked out of me at around hour 5 of a Boogs loose fit set
-Ben Shepherd's Friday breaks night before breaks became prog
-Countless sets from internationals for only a tenner
-And many more that I can't remember

Thanks Lounge

Massive.

My first lounge experience was midweek school night - Filter. I was still at school at the time. First the dude who I was with said we had to drop off at what was then called Cage, now Roxannes - it was closed but a few guys were messing around on the decks. I was in awe instantly. They then took me to Filter - what a night I had. Went straight to the school the next morning from memory with very little sleep.

When I first went to Purveyors I had heard very little music like it. I was so lucky to have older mates show me the different styles and teach me about the tunes. When I first heard Ransom and I think Jnett back then? Lost my shiz - loved the broken beats. Still went to both Filter and Perveyors for most of my teen years. Have got a Filter bday CD somewhere (with the green cover) with Honeysmack's 8min version of Walking on Acid and other Melbourne gold live acid tunes on there.

Then there were the Nick and Ben years. Later down the track but it was a golden era of breaks in Melbourne. Three regular friday night breaks clubs to choose from and bounce between, inevitably with a Lounge session in there.

Lounge has always supported music I love - and was doing it before many many others. Not to mention the many of boozed up Friday lunch parma sessions.

Big ups Lounge and all who have worked, performed and played in your walls. Cheers.

When Zinc played hehe

Im not even sure what to say.

but the institution survives!



and there is a lot to be said for the awesome crews & internationals over the years.

Spearhead played the Lounge?

Yep... many goodtimes @ Lounge. And one particular bad time when I actually when blind (temporarily).

Had been smoking joints with the missus and Fents out on the balcony, and for some reason my vision completely departed me for a solid and scary 10mins. Could not see a thing... Have never had this happen before or since. Had to sit down and ride it out. Goodtimes.

^^^^^^^^^


WOW.. Serious??? Shit man... That is weird.. Maybe some of the sweat from the old balconey roof landed in your eye.. causing temp. blindness.
I remember many tinmes sitting out there watching it drip from the roof onto peoples heads and into their drinks..
Halarious.. Luckly the new balconey prevents this..

Ye gods. 20 years. Way cool. Congrats indeed!

This got me reminiscing...

Back in the mid to late '90s the highlights for me at Filter were internationals like Biochip C (who intentionally cleared the floor!), Jammin' Unit, his brother Can Oral (these days better known as Captain Comatose), Dave Angel, and Claude Young.

Then there were the live local acts tearing things up: Voiteck, Zen Paradox, Blimp, Son Of Zev, Krang, Honeysmack, Graham Mono, Soulenoid vs Guyver 3, Hi-Fli, etc, etc.
Even to date it was one of the best places in the world I ever DJ'd at and played live in.

so many good nights at lounge

gonna be a big wekeend.. !

ah lounge so many memories spanning so many years.

- going to filter when i was at uni on a wednesday. in its prime jeez it was a heaving sweaty mass of people. the thing about filter that was reasonably unique was the crowd were very tolerant and open musically ... the likes of soulenoid and voiteck would play some reasonably out there stuff when they played live and people took it for what it was. even towards the end filter was strong and had some really excellent nights - some of the xmas night gigs were just monsters and i think jason rudeboy did an amazing job pushing new talent and diverse DJs which Filter did from start to end - all kinds of music were played there from techno to house to breaks to proper electro.

- purveyors. when i was 18-20ish i thought purveyors was the coolest shit ever. I think at this time Ransom was easily the best DJ in Melbourne and the people involved were just creative and did cool stuff and you wanted to be in that room. Some great intls but Purveyors was always about Ransom and the locals.

- Soulaar. Great time musically and some awesome gigs. Steve Boemo and Dan Feary are just a great creative guys who wanted to put on really good shows with good artwork and good lights and good sound and good support DJs and cool visuals and good people. I always liked everything about soulaar from the flyers to the logo to the CDs (some really amazing Soulaar CDs - if you don't have them try and get them) and the guests ... Steve and Dan are undoubtedly 2 of the more honourable promoters i've met and dealt with. Highlights for me were Marky - and the Made in Melbourne doco premiere which was just a fkn cool night with a really good feel in the room. I also liked 40Hz (and Realtime too - how cool were those posters in Jolimont railyard) and Blazin (Tim and Fents - great dudes ... Tim Schumann = fkn legend)

- Out of order. Lot's of fun and like D pointed out loads of great choice for breaks in Melbourne at this time. In hindsight I used to get worked up about Fractured competing against OOO a bit which was silly looking back - ultimately for the music lover the choice was great and we both lived and died by the quality of the nights we'd put on. I really look back on the early/mid 00's fondly with breaks - some amazing 33 and a 1/3 gigs at the prince (again - cool djs, cool artwork, cool people) and Fractured had some monsters. Plus things like beats working and other gigs at the Laundry (which had a lot of breaks around this time), plus the Futurebreaks parties and breaks rooms at things like Summadayze/Slinky/Two Tribes with ppl like Me, Nick, Keltec, Lynt, Mangan etc ... no shortage of things to do. Nick has kept the flag flying and has done all the things I thought he would when I first heard his demo almost 10 years ago and was like - what is this!!!!

- Boogs. When I started there in 2001 we were doing a night called Compound with Boogs and spacey and it was tanking bad. It was the replacement for Purveyors so it was always going to struggle. After about 6 months of not being able to move the needle I replaced it with Beatbox which was JRed, Flago, Brand with Boogs closing with disco into house after 3:30am and a few others and it was pretty rockin' for a year there. Problem was a lot of the hip hop heads were mad bogan so we had a lot of trouble, which culminated in a real ugly incident where the bouncers got blindsided and king hit by some beatbox regulars ... too much meth/crack/whatever. Shame as the music was always really party and 90% of the crowd were really cool. Anyway - the decision was made to flick beatbox and give Boogs the whole night as at the time he was starting to get some serious momentum at Revolver and he was well loved by all the staff at Lounge. It just grew and grew and became a monster. Every week the dude would play 8 hrs, then have an hr break then do Revs for 4 hours. Boogs is such a strong DJ - it's easy to flame the guy now cos he's successful but he's successful cos he's good. he could play a 3 hr set of instrumental u/ground hip hop or a set of straight up Detroit or a set of rare disco ... I don't even want to know how many records he has. Plus he was always such a nice guy.

I haven't been in at night for ages as now I'm older and more boring, but still love wandering in during the day and seeing the old faces and looking at the flyers and art on the wall. From what I hear it's still rocking now and has been for ages with Bo at the helm and before her Luke.

Happy birthday Lounge

WOW.. now thats a blurb!!
Cheers Ben...
thats a wicked history Lesson!!!

i remember before i moved to Oz when i was just here as a backpacker it was one of the first places i went out to and one of the most memorable for sure...only been in the country a few weeks, met Flagrant and he took me down to that Beatbox night on my 23rd birthday with another english mate. Got absolutely shitfaced on champagne and shots, watched flagrant battling all comers on the balcony which was a pisser cos they were taking it all so seriously and he was just taking the piss (and still winning)! Ended up in Fitzroy somewhere where we decided we should steal a car to get home for some reason so kicked in the side window, jumed in and hot wired it. That was my last memory. Woke up in a Balaclava back street in the drivers seat on my own with the front of the car moulded round a telegraph pole got out and ran

awww the memories! thanks for posting all this, ben and dboy and others....

i has so many. will have to write a synopsis too.
from moving to melbs as a wide eyed liddle 18 year old and finding filter...to weekly meetings with the bossman for years.
to many years of good times...

my favorite gig while i was there was when skream played at 8pm on a thursday and the place was packed,
the first time i heard dubstep....
my hat was vibrating off my head and i was like 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MUSIC?"

so so many.

also - bigups to the fact that i know more than a few couples who met at Lounge and are now happily married - proof that you can meet 'the one' in a nightclub!

more later...

haha, oh shit how did i forget! I hooked up with someone at Lounge in '03, then took her back to London with me a few weeks later, got married and then eventually came back to Melbourne in '06 ! Not together no more but its the reason i got a visa and ended up here so cheers to the lounge!

nice one! well, sorta! hehehe

I think Mr Lob met his lady there too...

ghetto kitty wrote:to weekly meetings with the bossman for years..

i think we're on the same page here ... do you mean the Wednesday afternoon meetings? Wow if those walls could talk getting the ownerman, bossman, managermen and managerwomens in the one room around the one table.

I remember very vividly one meeting where I decided I'd question Con ... he got very riled up. After the meeting finished he pulled me outside and said "I was literally seconds from grabbing the seat and smashing your face up with it" ... and he was serious.

I am sure he wasn't the first person who wanted to do that to me, nor the last, but anyone who's met the guy would know he's not someone you want to piss off heh.

another time - when we did made in melbourne and I got flamed bad in the office for the projector being about 10 cm too low. it was like i'd shot the pope the reaction was so heated!

yeah happy birthday lounge.

too many memories and good years of my life spent in that place...

started by going in to Filter back in 95 on a wednesday night and having a boogie. aged 15. acid techno. i've got that blue birthday CD too dboy

then skip a few years forward to countless Thursday Soulaar lounge sessions dancing into the early hours before uni the next day. this time really changed my life and saw my love of dnb & jungle sink in right to the bone. yeah midnight in melbourne launch and the night Marky played with Brian G right when the Brazillian thing was taking off were amazing. Also the set that J Majik played right before the Infrastructure album was released (Spaced Invaderz, Solarize) was an absolutely running vibe, not to mention a few Bailey monster sessions there.

I always felt a really close connection with the place and ended up working there for around 3 years, probably due to the fact that they couldn't really get rid of me, promoting with Blaze, Blazin and Hidden Agenda, DJing and just generally dropping in there to what felt like a home in the centre of the city. Working there with Ben, Luke and Bo and running nights alongside my good mates Fents, Keir and Fred among others. Memorable ones during this time were the Light It Up Sessions, countless sets of Sean's that just raised the roof, the Japanese Invasion with DJ Yui (The Rabbit) and MC Cardz, Chris Inperspective, Fabio, and a bunch of other ram jammed nights of mayhem. Loz, Mel Monkey and Frud behind the bar upstairs and never to forget the lovely Cobes, and Oosah downstairs. Costa keeping it real on the door and a host of friends who I met there over the years who I still keep in contact with regularly (too many to name).

Ghetto Kitty, the Skream night you were talking about also had 2 major DnB DJ's playing on the same bill as well!!!! Zinc & Krust if my memory serves me correctly. Massive night showcasing the talent in town thanks to the Red Bull Academy.

Happy Birthday Lounge, I haven't been there at all recently but I always hold a warm spot in my heart for the place. Hopefully I can make it down for the party and bum-rush at least a few tunes. No doubt Kammo will get kicked out for old-times sake.

Big up Lounge, looking forward to the 2-0!

fikuss - J Majik! I had a copy of that set on CD but it got scratched to sh*t and then lost it in the move.

The start was epic - I think he started with the Spaced Invaders remix - wow memories there!

omg yes. I was also told 'I nearly came to your house and smacked you out' once, due to something that was nothing to do with me! but both Costa and I are passionate hotheads so we ended up loving each other a lot.

quotes to remember - (Chris feel free to pull em all out at once tonight!) Baptism by fire! That old Chestnut! Proof is the the pudding! Are you pissing in my pocket? Winter isnt relevant!
And other such phrases come to mind hehehe

fikuss - Oh i know, but Skream blew my mind so that was the set i will recall forever!

i worked with so many good peoples, on so many good gigs, many of whom i consider good friends now.
too many to mention tbh but shout outs to Kombat Bass, the start of Bass Camp with mister citizen, Smashbang, broken beat box kids, Nigel and Tamara, Thayer and Hibbert, and all the stellar djs who deal with lots of crap playing downstairs, Obliveus, Matt Rad and Snowie!

and - my first day Luke told me to get on MB - so I also have lounge to thank for my forum whoring here bwahahah

a few lines i heard a lot

"is that fee delivered"

"if a night is strong people will come along even if it is snowing"

"disappointing"

"a good result but let's see how it goes next week"

"very good"

Happy Birthday Lounge

Challenge laid down to stay till I drag my sorry arse to the booth again on the arvo of Sunday 17th January

Thanks Lounge for all the all the wicked nights on the dance-floor, friendships I've formed with staff and punters, chicks I've shagged, helping me live the dream and keeping the beer and cider pipes clean.

The guy who publishes a set list before he plays?

It's not preplanning as such. It's more divine inspiration.

massive respect for the lounge making it to the 20. 'switch' was the first club i ever went to (what an introduction) and have spent many many fine evenings there (although not for a while).

biggups!

had my first gig there in 96. best memory was mad professor, they had so many subs the balcony was vibrating n spacey had to go home cause it was messing up his tummy.
so many memories

Yessir. Its not too late to change your mind and play this set Ben! BE THAT GUY!
