NO FIXED SHAPE – May 24th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

No Fixed Shape May 24th Eflyer

As the days draw shorter and the weather cools down, the Inner City Rolling Committee prepare to warm things up by embarking on their first No Fixed Shape for 2013. Clearly in the mind that dancing to liquid and deep DnB is the best cure for the cold weather, the krew have locked in Friday, May 24th to unleash their unique blend of audio-visual bass-heavy mayhem.

Headlining duties for this round comes in the form of Too Much! front man, David Bass. A key figure in the Melbourne bass music scene, Mr Bass has been seminal in bringing underground bass music to the Melbourne massive for quite some time. Co-running the Too Much! collective the man has hosted and supported acts such as: Lunice, Ramadanman, N-Type, Untold, Ikonika, Oneman, Egyptrixx, Mosca plus many more. Hand-picked for his intuitive ear and vast musical knowledge in all things bass related, we have no doubt that school will be in session the moment David steps up to the decks.

First in line for support we welcome Danny Dobs. Once known as a Pany Snort, Danny has covered more musical ground (and monikers) than most DJs can shake a stick at. Involved in every aspect of the dance music scene from avid punter, to of course DJ, through to event organizer running the Robo-Tech events, the man has shown to be the whole package – a triple threat of awesome musical knowledge, talent and grassroots know-how. With a spirit and love for the scene and music that can only be described as contagious, we welcome Danny with open arms and look forward to hearing him flex his bass-muscles.

Rounding the guest slots off we have young-gun Switchstate. An obsessed DnB fanatic Switchstate has shown with but a handful of gigs a talented ear to bass-driven music well beyond his years. Recently showcased on Elements Radio, the minute we heard him play we knew we had to have him down.

Our rascally team of NFS residents FLIP3K, James Brooke and J-Slyde will also be in attendance doing what they do best – rocking speakers and drinking the bar clean.

Visual duties will be handled once again by the insanely talented Manoeuvre.tv. If you’ve been at any of the last NFS events we’ve thrown you’ll know how mind-bending the visuals have been and understand why we’re so excited to have him back onboard.

PROGNOSIS – April 20th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

Prognosis - April 20th EFlyer

The Prognosis crew is back in April to once again turn Loop on its head with a shenanigan packed night loaded with audio and visual treats.

Brisbane’s own Verve will be making the trip down to unleash some of his emotive, melodic, groovy progressive. Taking the world by storm with his productions and his DJ sets, Verve has been hand picked to share his take on the sound that the Prognosis massive love. An honor to have such a talented young artist join the Prognosis ranks, this will be special.

Melbourne’s own Trent McDermott will be making his Prognosis debut in a set that will no doubt confirm why he is so highly regarded both in Australia and across the globe. Trent’s eclectic music taste has seen his career last over a decade and his dedication to the scene is clear to see. This set will see Trent delve into an enormous collection of tunes and wind the BPM’s back and deliver some gems that he has been hanging to play.

Rounding out this epic lineup, regulars Herc Kass and Alex David will be digging deep to show why they continue to turn heads with their take on all things techno, house and progressive. Residents J-Slyde and Aaron Static will hold down the fort with their blends of musical madness and Vdmo Kstati will provide the visual delights in what is set to be another HUGE night.

NO FIXED SHAPE – Dec 21st @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

No Fixed Shape - Dec 21st EFlyer

December 21st, 2012 – a date that according to the Mayans marks the end of the world. Also on that date and clearly just as pivotal, is the second edition of No Fixed Shape. Hoping that the end of the world will hold out until they can finish up at Loop, the Inner City Rolling Committee gear up for an event of biblical proportions.

Keen on out-doing their debut event, which by all accounts was a success with the bar smashed and a sturdy contingent of one-eyed DnB aficionados dancing till well after stumps, the NFS krew knew that something really special had to be pulled out of their bass-hat. Not a rabbit, but clearly a lot more entertaining, Johnny Hooves and Kodiak Kid headline this round of festivities.

Johnny Hooves is the quadruple threat – drummer, beat architect, DJ and live sound-engineer. A household DnB name not only known locally, but also internationally, he currently serves as drummer to the iconic New Zealand live act Shapeshifter. But when Hooves isn’t slamming out hard hitting live breakbeats to crowds across the planet, he can be found in the studio, or on the turntables, contributing his own “vibe” driven take on drum and bass and lower tempo beat music to the global musical discussion. And again, if isn’t in the lab, or in the mix, chances are he’s behind the live mixing desk acting as the front of house engineer to the likes of the legendary Tiki Taane or The Upbeats Live.

Rounding out the headlining spotlight we also welcome local young gun, and all round beat-wizard, Kodiak Kid. A slave to all that is “beat” driven, Kodiak Kid’s style holds no bounds – touching on everything from Glitch-hop, Midtempo, PsyDub, Dubstep, Downtempo, World Beats, Roots/Reggae and of course DnB, his sets are renowned for taking the crowd on a powerful journey. Safe to say once The Kid steps up, that we’ll be in for one genre pushing set.

On support duties we welcome local bass-stalwart, TEECEE – frontman of Dubbish online radio show on Budgie Collective. TEECEE has been pushing his unique blend of deep bass beats to a fantastic response, with his weekly online radio show holding the largest listener base on budgiecollective.com. TEECEE’s ear for detail shines through in every show and DJ set he plays, and we couldn’t think of a better artist to join the ranks.

NFS residents FLIP3K, J-Slyde and James Brooke will also be around to fill in the gaps offering up deep liquid DnB like only they know how. Visual duties will be handled once again by the insanely talented Manoeuvre.tv – fresh off the Stereosonic tour, it’s safe to say he’ll be bringing his A-Game.

PROGNOSIS – Dec 15th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

Prognosis December Eflyer

As the weather heats up and the silly season kicks into gear, Melbourne is alive with quite literally, the sound of music. Stepping in line the only way they know how the Prognosis krew gears up for an edition of truly epic proportions. December in Melbourne means two things – hot weather and even hotter parties, and come Dec 15th the latter is set to be well and truly covered! – We’d comment on the former, but knowing Melbourne weather, anything is possible. Anyway, intent on making this edition of Prognosis as hot as possible, two of Melbourne’s finest have been hand picked to headline the festivities; Sean Quinn and Steve Ward.

Having been involved with the Melbourne music scene for well over a decade in every way shape and form possible; from DJing at every worthwhile club, festival and event possible throughout Australia and Europe, to hosting one of the most successful shows on local radio station KISS FM, through to producing some of the biggest dance tracks to come out of Melbourne, if not Australia – Sean Quinn is a legend amongst the Melbourne EDM scene. A born performer, his DJ set’s are carefully crafted masterpieces executed to perfect brilliance. Those who have not experienced one for themselves, have no doubt heard others speak in revered tones of their awesomeness. To say we’re honored to have him grace the stage at Prognosis would be a heavy understatement.

Ramping things up, the enigma that is Steve Ward also gets set to share the headlining spotlight. Frontman of local record label Chameleon Recordings, Steve has been at the forefront of Australia’s new revolution of underground dance music for well over a decade. A globally recognised techno and house artist who has collaborated with a bevvy of A-list artists such as: Carl Cox, Dj Pierre, Tim Taylor, Technasia, Psycatron, Peter Horrevorts & Jamie Stevens, Steve has performed at some of the most forward thinking dance events throughout the southern hemisphere of up to crowds of 20,000. A performer at heart, Steve is as at home behind the decks as he is his keyboard, a quality that shines through with every live performance. Needless to say, we’re set for one electrifying display when Mr Ward takes the stage.

On support duties we welcome Mr Alex David, the Techno incarnation of our beloved Alex Butler, along with our Prognosis trio – J-Slyde, Aaron Static and Simon Murphy. Visual duties will be handled by the extremely versatile VJ PiedPiper, whom will be dishing up delectable next-level imagery onto Loop’s two massive 30ft screens.

NO FIXED SHAPE – Nov 17th @ LOOP

by J-Slyde

No Fixed Shape - Nov 17th @ Loop

From the minds that brought you Rock Like This, Substance Sounds and Elements comes a new concept in forward thinking nightlife. Aiming to fill a niche in the Melbourne clubbing scene, FLIP3K, James Brooke and J-Slyde have joined forces to form the Inner City Rolling Committee. For their first outing they’re proud to present No Fixed Shape, a night centering on Liquid DnB and the deeper styles of bass music. A night of discerning music for discerning ears!

Featuring an all local lineup of some of the most talented bass-beat conductors the city has seen, great care has been taken in crafting the lineup to align with their vision. For the debut voyage of NFS, two of the city’s finest DnB purveyors have been selected – Altruism and Nam.

Nam has been a stalwart in the local beats community for close to a decade now. Originally beginning playing DnB and now the right hand man of local production krew The Operatives, there’s little Nam hasn’t done. From supporting and hosting some of the biggest names in the world as far as DnB and Beats are concerned, to playing at every club, pub and worthwhile festival this town has to offer. When Nam graces the decks, you know we’ll be in for a sublime treat!

Slowly making his mark on the Melbourne underground, Altruism is a diamond amongst the rough. Intent on taking a back seat and letting his music do the talking, Altruism (or more affectionately known to his friends as Andrew Styli) is without a doubt one of the most talented unsung heroes of the Melbourne underground bass community. Music producer to audio engineer, DJ to sound designer, children’s entertainer to musical therapist… with an equally diverse and expansive list of live performance credits and accomplishments, we couldn’t think of a more suitable artist to help usher in our first event.

We also welcome Cosmic Wolf. A relative newcomer to the scene, this young man has already started to make waves in the electronic community with but a handful of gigs under his belt. With such a small exposure to playing out live, he’s already shown an intuitive ear and musical intelligence well beyond his experience levels.

Support comes in the form of FLIP3K, J-Slyde and James Brooke, whilst visual duties will be handled by the hugely talented Manoeuvre.tv.
