This Thursday August 24, Horse Bazaar is hosting a night called User Mood with Mosam Howieson and Tom Moore on selection duties. Howieson’s gonna do a more downtempo set than his previous appearance at Alleycat and Tom Moore – one-half of Otologic – will be doing a crate digger eclectic selection thing. $7 pints til 8pm and cheap Japanese food so not a bad option for a chill Thursday night.
On Friday, new party crew Rhapsodise are back for their second serving, this time at Lounge. Leading the charge for this one are Waxo Paradiso’s Simon TK and Millu from Club Derange – two of Melbourne’s finest disco captains with the record bags to back it up. Residents Daniel P and Sam Cannon will be backing them up. Kicks off at 11pm.
Also on Friday up the road at Hugs&Kisses, Sydney duo Hviske are launching their debut EP and performing live for the occasion. With a sound that dabbles in techno, industrial and distorted noise-art that still remains fairly melodic and not too much of a self-indulgent wank-fest, they’ve got something pretty original sounding, I can dig it. On support duties is Null and Elisabeth Dixon, pretty solid night of heavy and interesting music. Kicks off at 9pm.
Up on the road at Boney on Friday, Autosea is back and hosting German producer/DJ Sven Weisemann. No run-of-the-mill German techno DJ, Weisemann cruises between genres with ease, always keeping things cool, deep and dark. Outside of his own electronic music releases, he also produces jazz records and soundtracks. Also entering the bone-zone is Awesome Wales, Acid Safari, J Hookway, Paul Lynch, Street Cymbalm, Eskapet, Josh Wain and Saint James.
On Saturday, Machine is back at My Aeon and have Sebastian Bayne down from Sydney for the night. Head of IF? Records and frequent touring artist to Europe, Sebastian has been somewhat of a regular at Machine over the years. Meticulous in his selection approach, Bayne throws down enormous sets that come at you like waves on a beach. Rise, peak, descend, rinse and repeat. Also on board are best pals Kiti and Chiara Kickdrum, local newcomer Consoles and of course the residents Simon Slieker and Andrew Till. Kicks off at 10pm, $15 before midnight, $20 after. Get among it.
