Substance Warehouse Party Set Times

Substance Warehouse Party

You thought it was finished. You thought it was over. You thought “no way, no how, they’re done and dusted”. Just when you thought it was safe to get back on the dance floor… WE’RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!

The Substance Crew have decided it’s time to dust off those pumps, tighten those tone-arms, unhang those headphones and get back to where it all began, hosting Melbourne’s most diverse electronic music night. Throwing themselves and their collective creativity into the unique art-space that is Rubix Warehouse, the Substance Sounds music machine is rolling once again.

The usual suspects have been working behind the scenes to get ready to take you on a collaborative journey that will encompass everything that the Substance Crew holds dear. A hand-picked selection of the timeless tune classics mashed in with splashes of the new, the music on offer will, like always, be of the highest quality. Dearly loved guests that had joined us in the past and some new faces will join the Substance residents of days gone by for a MASSIVE REUNION spectacular with two rooms of mayhem and a few surprises thrown in to boot!

Headliners Jamie Stevens, Luke Chable and PQM will rejoin the crew, with a slathering of local talents and the original Substance Collective together once more. As we seek to revisit the amazing magic of the past and give it a new coat of awesome, this event is one you don’t want to miss.

Prognosis ~ June 16th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

Prognosis June Eflyer

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But Loop Bar’s so delightful
Since Prognosis is the place to go
Let’s smash it out to listening to tasty tunes!

Ok, so if horrible rhyming was a crime, we’d be doing time buuuut whatcha gonna do?!

The mildly crazy crew down at Prognosis are back for their June soirée and have assembled another stellar lineup of musical maestros to perform for you. After obliterating Loop on his last Prognosis visit, the Prince himself, PQM, is back to treat us to a journey through his musical musings. Joining him, Elements Radio and 405 Recordings head honcho James Brooke makes his long overdue Prognosis debut with a whole stack of auditory weapons. Next up we have dusty dance-floor expert Fabel whose immense music knowledge shines through in every delicately crafted set. And back once again to kick off the ruckus is beat-master Taran M who’ll be opening up proceedings from 9pm, with his unique blend of spaced out glitch.

Fresh off their global broadcast on Frisky Radio, Prognosis residents J-Slyde, Simon Murphy & Aaron Static will also be bringing their blend of beats to the table. The trio have been known to whip the crowd into a frenzy with their genre-bending explorations of all things melodic and progressive. And of course no Prognosis would be complete without the inspiring visual wizardry of vdmo Kstati and his transfixing artistic displays.

And because we can’t possibly cram all these shenanigans into our usual time slot, we will be opening an HOUR EARLIER at 9PM – so get down early and stay till late. You’re not going to want to miss a beat!

FACIENDO ~ Desyn Masiello & Tom Morgan ~ June 1st @ OneSixOne

by J-Slyde

Prognosis steez occurring at the next Fluidlife party on June 1st! We’ll be handling the basement with a strong contingent of Prognosis DJs – that of which the one and only PQM will be headlining with a 2 hour feature set. Hit us up for guestlist prices. This is going to be one hellova evening!

Fluidlife Faciendo June 1st

“Faciendo’s core sound is the universal language of dance music. At our core, we play any genre of house music that speaks to and comes from the heart, be it labelled minimal, techno, garage, funky, progressive or breaks. Music that speaks to the heart can be found in many genres of music though, and so on the right occasion we showcase our eclectic, downbeat, dubstep or drum & bass sounds. No matter what the style or tempo though, you will always recognise the Faciendo heartbeat.”

DESYN MASIELLO

A teenager at the time the rave scene exploded in the UK over twenty years ago, Desyn Masiello has been part of the house music and rave scene since the start. Desyn was a dedicated vinyl junkie from day one, and has a tireless passion to create DJ sets that lift the soul, move the body and open the mind. A full time professional touring DJ for the past 10 years, he has played almost every mega club and every major festival in the world, from a career he started from one mix cd that he sent out in 1999, which earned the respect of various promoters around the world who started to book him. Career highlights have seen him appear on the front cover of DJ magazine (Jan 2010, with SOS) and release over 5 DJ mix CD compilations into the stores worldwide on labels such as Balance, Ministry of Sound, Bedrock and Yoshitoshi. Desyn has also appeared in the DJ magazine “Top 100 DJs” three times, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Once introduced by John Digweed on his radio show as “the man that never sleeps”, this was really recognition from one of the legends of the scene of just how much passion and work is required to craft his sound and stand out as a DJ. Desyn is a self confessed vynil addict, admitting that he spent most of his youth in dusty second hand record stores, amassing a musical knowledge and taste that stretches across many genres.

Desyn’s career was built almost purely on his DJing ability, having only released a handful of low key underground co-productions in his career, it was instead word of mouth and reports from the dancefloor of his DJ sets that sparked his rise and recognition. He has a work ethic that is focused almost entirely on the production of DJ sets. Desyn states “I really focus all my work time on preparing and editing tracks and dj tools for my DJ sets that take you on a special ride and open your mind to new feelings.”

In 2006, having been voted at that time no. 54 DJ in the world, Desyn and his fellow SOS’ers (Omid 16b and Demi) took a U-turn and decided to focus their work away from a solo direction, and instead team up and create the musical DJ-trio of SOS. SOS was a project born out of three like minded friends who lived in London and all grew up with similar musical tastes and passions. Their journey together saw two CD compilation releases into the stores and took them on a four year tour around the world playing together as a back to back DJ-trio. “Working in a team and trying something totally new with two very talented other music heads was an invaluable experience for me as a DJ, we all shared knowledge and skills and helped each other grow as people and artists.”

2011, Desyn is now fully focused on DJing individually again, a new weekly radio show and forthcoming new album release are all lined up, and the non stop world tour continues. Watch this space.

TOM MORGAN

Slowly but surely, Tom Morgan is establishing himself as one of the next generation of household names, with an ever-increasing fan base and a growing amount of support from the industry’s biggest DJs. From Bogota to Bangkok, Budapest to Dubai, Tom has forged a reputation as one of the most diligent and versatile artists on the circuit; a view also shared by Desyn Masiello, who tipped him as ‘a DJ who’ll break through in 2006’ in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll. Tom’s tireless devotion to the craft is there for all to hear in each and every set, with his sound possessing a maturity that defies his years.

“I’ve known Tom for a long time since he used to come and see me at one of my first residencies up in Scotland. He’s got a spot on ear for a hot tune and I’ve always supported him – the man has a solid DJ career ahead of him.” – Desyn Masiello

Born in 1985, Tom has been immersed in music ever since he can remember. However, since being bitten by the house music bug at the age of fourteen, he hasn’t looked back. A regular at seminal Scottish house night Progression, where regular guests included Desyn, Danny Howells, Luke Fair and Lee Burridge, Tom’s teenage years were spent practically living in clubs. Seeing DJs of that calibre on a regular basis helped feed his passion and provided the basis of an education on what moves a dancefloor.

“I have many ‘where the $%*& did he get that?’ moments when listening to Tom’s sets. He plays some of the best music out there and has a great ear for tunes.” – Luke Fair

Tom is renowned for playing a wide range of music that traverses many genres, with his sound becoming increasingly difficult to pin down; anything from 115 BPM downtempo and deep house all the way through to peak time progressive and banging techno. His sets possess a trademark personal touch; packed with unknown gems that have passed beneath the radar of most, with many tracks edited in line with his musical vision. This reputation was cemented further by Desyn’s decision to hire him in an A&R capacity for his prestigious Alternative Route label; giving him access to a vast number of tracks and ensuring that practically his every waking minute is spent listening to music.

“Tom is undoubtedly a true music lover who is set for great things to come.” – Omid 16B

With Tom’s profile on the rise and his sound creating more demand, a global tour was sparked in 2006, encompassing a host of South American countries as well as all over Europe, Asia and America. This gave him the chance to hone his skills in a variety of environments, both headlining and sharing the booth with DJs like Nick Warren, Jimmy Van M, Desyn Masiello, Omid 16B, Jody Wisternoff, Luke Fair and Spirit Catcher.

PROGNOSIS ~ Dec 17th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

Prognosis December Flyer

One year on from their first event under the Prognosis banner, with no sign of slowing down, the krew are getting set to celebrate the only way they know how – hot beats, tasty beverages, and shenanigans a’plenty!

Intent on doing something special for such a momentous occasion, we couldn’t think of a better artist to headline and celebrate Prognosis’ first birthday than NYC protégé come Melbourne beat wizard, PQM. With a DJ and production career that dates back to the early 90’s, PQM has a vast musical knowledge that will no doubt be used to good measure. With the opportunity to flex his musical muscles over a two hour feature set, PQM is set to delve into his extensive collection of tunes to deliver a set of truly epic proportions.

After turning the FB world green with envy over his international exploits, local trance favourite Jed returns from overseas and will be stepping up to the plate to play his first ever ‘non-trance’ set. As part of Rush with events pushing techno and progressive alongside trance, Jed is well versed in the sounds that will no doubt whip Loop into a frenzy.

Substance kingpin and crowd favourite Taran M returns from quasi-retirement to get amongst the lunacy as he lays down the sweetest of beats and other tasty treats from his repertoire. Rounding out the night will of course be the Prognosis residents J-Slyde, Simon Murphy and Aaron Static. Expect the unexpected as the three continue their musical missions into melodic madness.

No Prognosis would be complete without captivating, hypnotizing visuals which will once again be provided by Vdmo Kstati. With a booking schedule jam packed with festival and club events, the forever growing arsenal at this VJ’s disposal will ensure the night has an extraordinary audio visual feast!

PQM (Yoshitoshi, Abducted Records), Jed (Rush), Taran M (Substance), J-Slyde (Substance), Simon Murphy (Substance), Aaron Static (Hyline, Indigo, Spherax)
