Melbourne Beats

For those that don’t know. The Resident Bass Sound Clash is a monthly survivor-style tournament. DJs in the Proving Grounds will get an hour b2b slot. The 2 challengers will battle it out for the crowd’s vote so they can move into the next month.

DJs can play 3-5 songs before changing over with the other DJ.

If a DJ is being unfair and taking too long to make the change over the MC will force the switch.

DJs can drop any tune, any style, any genre, whatever they think will win the crowd’s vote.

In the event of a loss, the loosing DJ will not get the chance to play at the
next resident bass and will have to wait for the month after to reapply for a place.

The winning DJ will have the opportunity to play in the next month’s Resident’s Room. DJs in the Resident’s Room get an hour set and freedom to drop any banga, thumper, winder or grinder of a tune. Resident Room DJs are judged by an anonymous Round Table of self proclaimed experts who will be picking the stand out DJ of the night. That DJ will get the opportunity to do a mix for the official Resident Bass Mix CD and a spot in the end of year Grand Final.

Winners will be judged by YOU, so get down early for some hektic action and the happy hour (between 10-12) Come down between 5-9 and get $5 entry with a side of mellow beats from the Resident Bass kru.

Sound Clash
Usually the Sound systems in the sound clash will play for a set time - say 30 minutes before switching. This time interval gets shorter and shorter, so when playing returns to one sound again, he or she may only play a shorter time. Finally, near the end of the clash they go song on song or "Dub fi dub" (which obviously requires dual mixing consoles) resulting in an awesome gig.

Have to admit I was thinking the same thing Rob! And AC23 and Bonsai too but looks like Steve has pulled out.

You're proving yourself so you can become a resident?

Seems a strange concept to me, but something different i suppose.

Nah don't get it twisted Never pulled out ... promoter should learn not just to stick people on fliers.

Was quiet lolz when I saw my name tbh.

The venue sound restrictions sucked aswel - had our sound levels turned down repeatedly by bar staff and sound tech. And the sound system issues also put a negative spin on the event.

Dont get me wrong, when the place was working, it worked well. Just a pity about the poor organization with DJs and the sound issues. I think the krew were aiming a bit too high. If it was just the one room, the place would have been rocking. Hoping the next event will go smoothly, cause it has some real potential!!

Word to this.

Pretty much agree with all of the above. Rocked up to set times being pushed back at least 1 hr. Security asked me to turn my fucking hat around at least 10 times, and they were complete fuckwits to boot (except Simon, legend of a bloke).
Couldnt find anyone running the gig to get drink cards and 'VIP' pass.
Set times and vs matchups changed at least 5 times before and during the gig.
Sound was completely mangled and disappointing when I was there, no highs or mids just booming subs shaking the walls of the room (which is a good sign for the future in the subbass region). Its pretty piss poor for the organisers to blame the sound guy for the issues. There should ALWAYS be a soundcheck beforehand.

I think next time try and do less on setup and more on creating a solid, working soundrig and one room.
