This Thursday September 21 sees co-label head of the Lehult imprint Lucky Charmz back for a free encore show at Section 8. By all accounts the German’s hoon at Lounge this weekend just gone was a solid lesson in house music, so here’s your chance to cop a free party in Melbourne’s favourite outdoor bar in the CBD. Let’s hope spring has come to Melbourne properly by then. Oliver Francis and After Midnight Limonata are on backup duties.
On Friday, Club D’érange host Brooklyn’s queen of chaotic avant-garde techno Via App at Hugs&Kisses. The Brooklyn underground has been not-so-quietly breeding a scene of noisey-as-fuck techno, a stark contrast to the darker and more ambient sounds that frequently come out of Europe. If you’re sick of smooth-as-silk dance music and want something more challenging and in your face, go check this party out. Pjenné and Paul Jager will be picking up the remains once Via App’s had her way with you.
Also on Friday, the Daydreams crew is back for Wet Dreams at 24 Moons. Widely considered some of the loosest day-discotheques in Melbourne, they’re beginning their lead-up to summer with this little night jaunt featuring Pocock, Maxwell S, Mark Free, Kasun & Ricci and India Grace. Kicks off at 10pm.
On Saturday night at 24 Moons, Dutch producer A Made Up Sound is making his debut Melbourne appearance for a night called Praxis. A Made Up Sound has been crafting a name for himself over the last decade with left of centre house/techno/acid/breakbeat transmissions on labels such as Delsin Records, The Trilogy Tapes and Clone Records Basement Series, as well as his own self-titled imprint. Local support comes from Roza Terenzi, Moopie and Perno Inferno.
In the CBD on Saturday, Lucid are celebrating their first birthday with an epic 12-hour party. Featuring Sydney veteran Simon Caldwell, Project 95, Roza Terenzi, Ricci, Darcy Justice, Seb Marcu and 6am At The Garage, they’re promising the club will look 11/10 and are offering some special gifts on arrival. How mysterious.
On the South side, UK producer/DJ Flava D is set to rock The Late Show at Revolver. Sitting somewhere at the intersection of grime, garage and bass, Flava D has demonstrated again and again that she’s more than adept at the smooth and bumpy with cuts like More Love as well as harder hitting tracks like In The Dance. Local support comes from Ransom, Lotus Moonchild, Mat Cant, Pocock, Plastic Palms, Tom Moore, Max Vegas and Awesome Wales.
