As a few are already aware, late last week we shut the doors on the Substance Forum. Over the past few months traffic and posts had died down to a minimum, so we saw no point in keeping it online. We here at Substance HQ would like to take this chance to thank all that contributed and forum’d over the past few years whilst it was active. Many a heated discussion was had, along with countless laughs and hilarious posts (can anyone say “Naz fail”?). So we thought it was fitting to throw some massive props out to all who shared some time with us on the forum – it was definitely a memorable experience and a time im sure many will come to remember fondly in the years to come.
Dont stress tho, our web presence will continue via this website, Facebook and Twitter. As most would’ve noticed, the website is now fully functional with commenting features, so if you feel the need to get some discussion going, comment away!
Feel free to reminisce with us by sharing your favorite forum moments. We might look at posting up a list of some of the favs later down the track.
Here’s a list of the top 15 posters as of closing. Needless to say its obvious that the forum was well loved. 😉

The Substance krew are a group of like minded party goers dedicated to bringing the freshest sounds to the Melbourne party scene. They endeavor to offer something fresh and different to their punters. Not adhering to current ’nightclub etiquette’, the Substance elite DJ krew showcase sounds from a plethora of different electronic genres and styles on any given event – giving their punters an orgasmic journey through the aural delights of EDM.
Substance don’t have to sell anything, the line up speaks for itself. A little bit of everything mixed in with a whole lot of fun. The formula to make the substance is simple. Start with concentrated breaks blended into Electro. Mix in a beaker of tech, a test tube of prog, a spatula full of minimal and a litmus test of trance and everything in between in what promises to be a fanatical night of auditory assault.
With a stellar line up of kick ass residents and a galaxy of local and Interstate special guests throughout the year Substance is guaranteed to bring you nothing more than a good time. So keep your eye’s on the look out and your ears to the ground as we lay down some serious sounds!

The Mixed Messages philosophy centers on cultivating new concepts in dance music culture and evolving current trends in the way that dance music is created, played and enjoyed. We acknowledge that any subculture has the ability to magnify human foible and virtue. Moreover, we seek to uphold the integrity of dance music culture by readily embracing the power that our industry has to make positive changes that extend to the wider community. We do this through the emphasizing a high-quality club product and rejecting the aspects of club culture that compromise the characteristically underground notion of being ‘all about the music’.
Our music policy steps outside the restriction of genre and defies the popular notion of playing only club anthems. Our DJs are encouraged to consider a Mixed Messages party as an opportunity to exhibit their art through structuring sets that could not be heard anywhere else. A Mixed Messages DJ reads the room and responds by taking everyone present on a journey of sound, infused with their own signature style which keeps people coming back weekend after weekend. The appeal for a DJ to play a Mixed Messages party has enabled us to secure the best DJs from each genre that is definitive of the Melbourne underground sound. We have an unrivaled artist roster for our regular nights and carefully tailor our touring line-ups to best suit the hosting venue.
Finally got around to sorting out all the photos from the 2nd Birthday event. Below is a small slideshow of some taken by Christian Lagasca. The full album can be viewed via our Facebook Fan Page – theres over 100 snaps from throughout the day. They do well in capturing what an awesome time everyone had – no doubt those that went will agree that the vibe was electric. For those that didn’t make it, take a look!
Our next Rooftop event is set for October 16th. There will be more info to follow shortly – if you’d like to keep updated sign up to our email list.
