Melbourne Beats

MY BROKEN BEAT BOX back on the block!!
Labour Day Eve, Sunday 8th March 2009

Need a good reason to hide the ends of your shoe laces and restore the shine on your bling?
Got a Soul-Glo stockpile in your bathroom cupboard?
Wondering why your phat pants have been calling from back of the clothes rack?
Aching to pull one more nang in the Global Village car park?

Don't worry; it's just your wild-style growing impatient to get loose and feel the original block-party vibe! DJ Snowie, Lilstormer, DJ Ides & Brain will put you back on your good foot this Labour Day eve. Sunday 8 March, the crew is back on the block with another edition of the MY BROKEN BEAT BOX breakers showcase. These favourite local deejays get together to bust out their best of old skool beats, funky rhythms, classic samples and turntablism skills thru to the future-funk and nu skool broken beats of today.

Get back to the original home of breakbeat. Lounge Nightclub - for a journey through the music that made Melbourne.

Deejays rockit from 10pm - 4am (mashup continues til the breaka dawn)
LOUNGE NIGHTCLUB (UPSTAIRS): 243 Swanston Street, Melbourne CBD

It's not about the music, it's all about the weird sea creatures, e.g.

Fucking unicorns!

i like set times...they make me feel like a better human bean...




heheh @Qroar, promo requires MANY footnote references

dont let the forum conversation fool you fellow DEEJAYS!!! Last time i pulled out a balkan tune at Lounge everyone - and i mean everyone - looked scared and gave me a "what the fuck" stare down, just for a second, then the rolling canons took control... biggest *phew* moment since i was roasting chestnuts on a street corner in Istanbul.

Set times!

10.00 - 11.30 Lilstormer
11.30 - 1.00 Brain
1.00 - 2.30 DJ Ides
2.30 - 4.00 Snowie
4.00 - close Crew Mash Up

Me and my piglet squid are looking forward to tomorrow

Nice to see you on Sunday GK, you were indeed there.

Another great MBBB, great sets from all and much fun had by all, including the piglet squid

Awesome crowd, awesome work by the crew, finished up at 7am amped for more...

Still wrecked from it.... Can we do it again.....YES WE CAN!!!!

Thank you all!

Now that just rocked.

Awesome sets as always by Lilstormer, Ides and Snowie to a fantastic crowd that just wouldn't go home (even when I played Balkan industrial west coast trip hop).

Thanks to everyone that came down and made it such a great night. Two years and still going strong.
