THE CREWS

**********************************************************

SUBSTANCE

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!

**********************************************************

MIXED MESSAGES

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.

R.I.P Substance Forum

August 12th, 2010 by J-Slyde received 1 Comment »

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. ;)

01. J0rdz 5580
02. XcileD 5051
03. moomoo 4867
04. Claire 4837
05. Holz82 4297

2nd Bday Winners Announced!

April 21st, 2010 by J-Slyde received No Comments »

And without further ado, here are the winners to the 2nd Birthday Comp! Each lucky winner will receive a double pass to our 2nd Bday – THIS SATURDAY – APRIL 24TH!

Steve:

I think a nice intimate show with all of my favourite singers/artists, i believe the list would be something like this:
John Farnham
Elton John
Enya
4 african kids hitting drums with sticks
boy george
Some homeless guy playing a pvc pipe didgeridoo
id add some more but my fav enya song just came on so gotta run :)

XcileD

No money restrictions you say?
I would start out by buying a beautiful tropical island and build the ultimate partying facility in advance, including permanent bar staff that know how to make any concoction of drink, massive sound systems in the facility and along the beach – which would obviously be crystal clear blue water, only the best kind! DJ’s and live music would be varied and different styles of music played on different parts of the island.
There would be plentiful amounts of alcohol, food (world class chefs), entertainment, and anything else one would want. How would we get there? On a private 2 day boat cruise, listening to ultimate summer beats in the impeccable weather, lazing around on lounges and having the time of our lives. Everyone would be welcome, and 2 cruisers would be bought if necessary.
Fuck yeah.

Dave Juricevich

perfect bday?
Brown Alley Restaurant
9-11 Dave Juric
11- 1 Digweed
1-2.30 Nubreed (old school set)

Felix Tyler

I would start the day off with a MASSIVE pancake breakfast for everyone attending. Which would be followed by a whole day of all my favourite punk and rock bands(BDO styles) which would then be followed by all my favorite DJ’s(Rave Styles). Double festival for a full 24 hours. And everyone would be welcome.
