Prognosis – June 21st @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

So not to cause any panic but we’re nearly half way through 2014… scary thought? Meh, no need to fear, after all, time flies when you’re having fun… or cocktails, or late nights, or LOUD NOISES. Luckily that’s where Prognosis steps in and combines all of those awesome things into one crazy shenanigan packed night!!!

After tirelessly trying to lure him to the Prognosis stage for a couple of years now, we have finally found a date that fits in with the schedule of globe trotting (no not the basketball team) dance floor slayer Kasey Taylor. The lad needs no introduction, having created one of Australia’s most highly regarded and longest running labels Vapour, plus a new project Lo-Fi 45 with local legend Lister Cooray. Kasey has been a regular fixture in clubs all over town as late, in amongst his overseas journeys, but his Prognosis slot will be that little extra special as we’ve given him a set where he can unleash whatever tricks he fancies, from old to new.

Matter is our next guest and is a Melbourne lad whose star continues to shine brighter. After a number of successful releases across a range of techno and progressive labels, plus sets that have turned heads of some tough critics, this will be a treat. Moskalin also stops by for his first Prognosis set. Co-founder of the successful Doesn’t Matter events, Moskalin had a solid upbringing on dusty dance floors and has fine-tuned his sound to amass a solid following in clubs around town. Moskalin will be taking the tunage deeeeeep.

With residents DJs J-Slyde, Simon Murphy and Aaron Static, along with visual ninja vdmo Kstati projecting onto Loop’s two 30ft screens for the duration. FREE ENTRY.

Game on!!

PROGNOSIS – April 19th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and rave every now and then, you might miss it.

Prognosis this Easter weekend is going straight for the wascally wabbits jugular with the debuts of 3 new guests joining those usual suspects we can’t seem to shake (they know where we rave after all).

First up is a producer whose star has continued to shine forever brighter since his remix was handpicked to win the Minus remix competition in 2011. There was no ‘downloaded for Richie Hawtin’ here, it was chosen by the man himself. With releases on labels like Subsonic music, appearances at festivals like Rainbow Serpent, Subsonic & Strawberry Fields, plus a recent Euro tour, Oblique Industries is back in Straya with a fully stacked live show he’s hanging to unleash.

Rework’s pinup boy Miza is the next cab off the rank and will be stopping by to lay down some wonky melodic techno and minimal. Young gun Torben who has added his musical flavours to a couple of recent Darkbeat parties will also be by with a crate full of smooth house and funked up techno.

Rounding out the night is FutureForm’s head honcho Herc Kass whose global audience continues to grow as he tears Melbourne a new one at every opportunity. J-Slyde will be building the groove with his precision skills and Simon Murphy will be dissecting his tunes and delivering them how only he can.

Visual duties are in the capable hands of the master vdmo Kstati whose magic is an integral part to every event.

Prognosis Third Birthday Retrospective Mix

by J-Slyde

Every two months for the last three years we’ve been heading down to a little nightclub in Melbourne called Loop and putting on a dedicated prog and tech night we like to call Prognosis. What started out as a small event with a handful of close friends has slowly progressed into one of our favourite events in Melbourne. Not only has it given us a platform to play some of our favourite styles of electronic music, but it’s also seen us house some of Australia’s finest progressive and techno artists, with a small selection of renowned international acts. Needless to say it’s been one hellova ride and set the stage for some absolutely unforgettable nights.

On February 15th 2014 we celebrated our third birthday. To celebrate Simon, Aaron and J-Slyde decided to put together a retrospective mix comprising some of their favourite Prognosis tunes from the past three years. What eventuated is a two hour mix covering a great snap-shot of the type of music and sounds we’ve been pushing since the inception.

The mix was loaded onto custom made Prognosis USB slapbands which were handed out at our Third Birthday event to the first 25 on the dance-floor – for those that missed out on a slapband USB, we’ve now uploaded the mix to Soundcloud!

Massive thanks to everyone who has shown us support, come to our parties and listened to our music since our inception. We honestly would be nowhere without you. Here’s to another three successful years!! 😀

Prognosis USB slapbands!

by J-Slyde

So after promo and everything had been locked in for our February edition of Prognosis we were going through some old flyers and noticed that our very first Prognosis was way back in February 2011, marking this upcoming edition as our THIRD BIRTHDAY!

Obviously we couldn’t have gotten this far without all of the support everyone has shown us, so to say thanks in our own small way Simon, Aaron and Jordz have decided to put together a special retrospective mix. But to make things even more special we’ve decided to get some custom made Prognosis branded USB slap-bands made up to house it all! These will be a super limited run which we’ll be giving out to the first people through the door on the night. They’ll be loaded up with the retrospective mix (over 2 hours long), along with some other goodies for everyone’s listening pleasure. The USB’s themselves can be re-used as you please, or just simply worn around your wrist so you can look all stylish 😉

The slapbands will be given out to the first 25 people on the dance-floor this Saturday at Loop! Once the first beat drops come see Jordz, Simon or Aaron and they’ll hook you up. But it’ll be first come first serve, so make sure you get down early to ensure you don’t miss out.

Thanks to everyone who’s been apart of everything since our inception. It’s been a fantastic ride and something we hope to continue. Very much looking forward to seeing you all and celebrating in style come Feb 15th!!

Prognosis ft Luke Porter (UK) – Feb 15th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

2014 is off to a scorching start both on and off the dancefloor, so to keep that trend going and the party vibe pumpin’ the Prognosis band of merry men are back for some more auditory adventures spliced with just the right amount of chaos. It’s back to Loop we go with a special selection of treats to please the musical aficionado in us all!

A headliner that we’ve been trying to lock in pretty much since inception is none other than Luke Porter. Melbourne born he headed to the UK to unleash his talent on a global audience and hasn’t looked back. Production extraordinaire and a wizard behind the decks, Luke Porter is widely renowned for his amazing skills, playing some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the world. Accompanied by a slew of releases on some of the most highly regarded labels across the globe, Porter will be bringing his progressive house prowess to Loop for what will be a truly special occasion.

Back from an extended stint perfecting his tan, rhyming slang and amassing an enviable collection of bragworthy dancefloor excursions in the UK, one of Prognosis’s favourite brothers from another mother, Dave Juric, returns to take off right where he left off. With a knack for transfixing punters with his smooth skills, tasty tunes and ghetto swag, Juric is back to make up for lost time with a set loaded with tunes he has been hand picking specifically for his momentous return. We welcome him back to the fold with open arms.

Simon Murphy, J-Slyde and Aaron Static round out the lineup with giddy excitement and eclectic musical missions to support and keep the vibe alive alongside our esteemed guests. With each doing big things around town and beyond, expect the unexpected and get there early to see the boys work their magic.

No Prognosis lineup would be complete without visual accompaniment by a hypnotising, mesmerising and inspiring VJ with Manoeuvre.tv jumping on board for this one.

FREE ENTRY – Be early to avoid lines. Wear comfy shoes.

Dance like everybody is watching but you don’t care cos they’re probably just admiring your sweet sweet moves!!

PROGNOSIS – Dec 21st @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

As the year 2013 draws to a close and we reflect upon the year we have had, we surround ourselves with those we hold dearly, reminisce about the good times (and the bad) whilst looking towards the coming year with the wide eyed positivity and wild imagination of a child. Momentarily it’s quite wonderful…. Then BAM, every shop you enter exhumes every remaining glint of positivity out through a carol-laden ride into Scrooge’s bah humbug mentality. This my friends, is where we discover the true meaning of Christmas… sipping on your beverage of choice whilst flailing ones arms over-enthusiastically and flushing out your poor carol-effected ears with the finest of tunes provided by some of Melbourne’s best… i.e. IT’S PROGNOSIS TIME.

And what a special treat we have for you. One of Australia’s most loved and highly regarded tune experts (plus Murphy’s favourite DJ of all time), Dave Pham is set to grace the Prognosis stage for the first (and long overdue) time. Listing his auditory achievements and dancefloor conquests would take us until at least next Christmas so let us just say this… Dave Pham is about as good as it gets… anywhere. The music speaks for itself… it’s Pretty Simple really.

Also making his Prognosis debut is long time dancefloor warrior and tune encyclopaedia Brynley Cullen. As the host of Doesn’t Matter with his crew of merry men, Cullen is a true advocate of all that is musically mindblowing and will fit right in with the audiophiles at Prognosis. The next two local heroes need no introduction and are regular fixtures on the Loop stage. Mish’Chief is back to lay down her signature staunch techno, delivered with delightful devastation that we all love so much whilst Herc Kass returns to settle unfinished business with the dancefloor he has captivated on numerous occasions.

With Captain J-Slyde on shore leave to Europe for a few weeks, Simon Murphy and Aaron Static round out the lineup and are under strict instructions to maximise shenanigans whilst delivering their blend of chromatic Christmas calamity. With vdmo Kstati on visuals, regulars that throw shapes on the dancefloor that would make even Kris Kringle blush, more techno than you could poke a reindeer at and a year’s worth of memories to cheers to, expect a BIG one.
