On support duties for the upcoming Plump DJs gig! Two of my favourite krews, Darkbeat and Rock Like This are on-board, so this is set to be HUGE! As usual I have cheap tickets on me. Fling us an email for any that are interested.
The Plump DJs, Lee Rous and Andy Gardner, have been pushing their unique sound since the late 90s and have cemented themselves as avid leaders of diverse electronic music. Pioneers of the early Breaks scene, The Plump DJs gained heavyweight status through their success of still legendary artist albums such as ‘A Plump Night Out’ and ‘Eargasm’, which then, in turn, lead to their groundbreaking residency at Londons infamous club ‘Fabric’.
Moving through more recent years, the Plump DJs have further pushed their unique sound through their own ‘Grand Hotel Records’ label, merging breakbeat styles with an electro, house and Bass vibe to continue their supply of ever evolving beats. With releases like; “Boomer”, “Light Fantastic” and the groundbreaking “Gobstopoper”, Not to mention their collaboration and remix projects for acts like Deadmau5, Stanton Warriors, Loops of Fury, Fatboy slim and Orbital to name just a few, the quality of releases remain incredibly exciting, with constant worldwide support from other industry heavyweights, global club plays, and respect from all direction. The Plumps have not only established their place in the world music scene, they’ve showed they’re here to stay…
After 4 years of gracing Melbourne’s clubs, we’re ready for their return!

Finally managed to get the live recording from my vs Prog-Breaks set from Prognosis, with Dave Juric. Was one of the most enjoyable set’s i’ve played this year, and was a huge thrill going back over all of these oldschool tunes. We attempted to put together a set which wasn’t full of all of the usual overplayed tracks, and instead tried to base it around some of the more obscure stuff. As you’ll hear there’s still a fair amount of stuff that’ll prick your ear, with a nice coverage of rarer tunes.
Originally we played a 1.5hour set, but had to cut the start and end off due to some copyright issues with had with playing some unreleased bootlegs.
Hope you enjoy 
Track list:
01: Frou Frou – Dumbing Down of Love (Sean Quinn Remix)
02: The Knife – Silent Shout (R3volve Edit)
03: Nubreed – Welcome
04: Habersham, Jacob Todd – Nevermore
05: Telepopmusik – Breathe (Marcus Schulz Remix)
06: FC Kahuna – Hayling (Ils Remix)

14: Orbital – One Perfect Sunrise (Hybrid Remix)
15: Luke Chable – Tokyo (Nubreed Remix)
From the vaults! One of my very first demos from way back in 2006! Done completely on vinyl. Originally when I first started playing at clubs I never had the opportunity to play this type of music – so the bedroom was the only platform that I had to indulge in it. It was a bit of a secret that I played Prog, as i was more heading towards becoming a breaks DJ at the time. How things have changed!
I think the tracks still hold their own up against a lot of current progressive music nowadays. Thought it would be a fitting mix for the summery months, too. Really hope you all enjoy!
Track list:
1. Subsky – Single Gun (Original Mix)
2. Armin Van Buuren ft. Ali – Who is Watching (Tonedepth Remix)
3. Motorcycle – As The Rush Comes (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Mix)
4. Deepsky – Talk Like A Stranger (Nic Fanciulli Skylark Vocal Mix)
5. Flash Brothers – Mirage (Original Mix)
6. 2 Faced – Rock Music (Damien J Carter & Jerome Isma-ae Remix)
7. Matt Rowan & Jaytech – Tomorrow
8. Quivver ft. Niki Mak – Not Givin Up (D-Nox & Beckers Remix)
9. Speedcats ft. Owen Jarvis – Speedcats
Yep, that’s right – Booked for only the second largest stage at Summadayze this NYD!!! One of the largest festivals in Australia it’s a really huge deal to be on this lineup. Up against one of my idol’s, Sasha, along with some of my really good mates – this is set to be one hellova party.

Our official Facebook invite can be found HERE. Add yourselves as we’ll be updating the feed with heaps of music and info on all of the featured artists.
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)

A little video footage from our set supporting Hybrid and Solar Fields at Brown Alley a few weeks back with my partner in crime, Simon Murphy. The set was recorded both in audio and video, so we’re in the process of cutting up a proper vid. The set should be up to download shortly, so will keep you posted on both! Huge thanks to David Brennan for capturing it all.
Back at Billboards for this one. If it’s anything like the Warren gig the other month, it’ll absolutely PUMP! One of the best venue’s in Melbourne at the moment. Anyway, as usual, I have tickets on me, so hit me up if you’re in need of some: tickets@substancesounds.net
Death, taxes and Hernan Cattaneo. If electronic music was the pursuit of punters, then you could bet on the Argentinean every time. The progressive superstar has garnered diehard fans all across Australia courtesy of his infallible ability to make a dancefloor swoon. Expect this following to swell after Cattaneo’s upcoming trip to the Antipodes, a five-date tour coming in late October.
Cattaneo has been revered as a progressive house master craftsman ever since he was handpicked to succeed DJ legends like John Digweed, Deep Dish and Sasha on the aptly named Masters series for Renaissance. Over the years his mixes have shifted seamlessly through genres as the spinner has displayed a renowned ear for both melody and the lush lulling grooves.
In 2009 Catteneo extended his repertoire by starting the Sudbeat imprint, built on the foundations of crafting tunes with depth and quality. So far the fledgling label has showcased releases from respected dance music purveyors like Danny Howells and Guy J, while nurturing the next generation of white-hot producers, with releases from Marc Marzenit, Soundexile and M.O.D.E, among others.
As a DJ, producer and label boss, Cattaneo’s passion for his craft and attention to detail is always faultless. It’s this relentless focus on quality that’ll ensure his October tour of Australia is remembered long after the last record is played.
