SHILOH and LUKE CHABLE ~ August 12th @ Brown Alley

by J-Slyde

Shiloh and Luke Chable @ Brown Alley - August 12th

Substance Sounds and LockNLoad are proud to present Justin Moreh, one half of Canadian duo Shiloh, and Melbourne’s own Luke Chable in an exclusive three hour back-to-back retrospective performance.

Having never toured or performed in Australia, Shiloh have been somewhat of an elusive act to Australian clubbers until now. With over 8 years of success at the forefront of progressive music, it’s hard to believe that neither of the brother duo have ever made it down to Australia, especially considering their close ties with Melbourne progressive kingpin Luke Chable.

Taking time out from their collaborative rock project, EMPIRE, Luke and Justin are set to deliver what will be one of their last performances before they knuckle down to work on the release of the debut EMPIRE album. Needless to say, for all self respecting progressive fans, this is an experience that may never be repeated and is definitely not to be missed!

Joining forces for the first time, Substance Sounds and LockNLoad will transform Brown Alley into a progressive house wonderland. Not one corner will be cut in order to deliver a memorable experience for all. A top of the line sound-system tuned to prog-perfection will ensure that the quality of sound is of the highest caliber. With a keen nod towards the vibe of yesteryear, a full color laser display will be in effect, provided and controlled by Melbourne based laserist pHotonCulture (aka JaseFOS). World renowned VJ, vdmo Kstati, will also be in the visual cock-pit, projecting onto large screens throughout the venue to complete this audio visual assault.

SHILOH (Canada / Baroque)

http://www.shilohmusic.ca/
http://www.facebook.com/shilohmusic
8 years into their collective career as Shiloh the Moreh brothers need no introduction. In such a fast paced high turn-over industry Shiloh is a godfather to the latest incarnation of the progressive dance music scene without a doubt. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a progressive house DJ or artist that doesn’t cite Shiloh as an inspiration and influence.

Shiloh LiveShiloh’s rise to the top came fast and furiously with their very first single, “Will U Ever Come Around“, signed as the theme to a reality UK TV series and was one of the biggest dance releases of 2003–getting hammered by Sasha and pretty much every one else for that matter. The progressive breaks genre that had taken over at that time was championed by Shiloh and you couldn’t crack a magazine or e-article about the scene that didn’t mention that fact. 2007’s “Café Del Mariachi” by the duo is another highly notable release–one of the biggest records of that year, getting constant play from Sasha for months. “Cafe Del Mariachi” firmly entered the cannon of all time great progressive house releases.

As producers Shiloh are an icon of the dance music scene. Their discography has grown too numerous to keep track of with well over 100 entries of originals, remixes, compilation appearances and video game credits. They’ve done remixes for EMI and Global Underground, been commissioned by Jaguar Motorcars, and their music has made it into a handful of Sony Playstation games. Their fans include Sasha, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin VanBurren, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Oakenfold etc. who have all given heavy support regularly playing Shiloh’s tracks for almost a decade. Their music has been remixed by greats like Nick Warren and their mix compilation appearances resemble a who’s who list.

Shiloh’s full length artist album “Bleed” was named DJ Mag’s “Album of the Month” receiving 5/5 stars, praised as “little short of magical” and compared to dance music legends Orbital for album track “Melt”. The praise continues on with M8 Mag’s 8/8 and EQ Mag’s 5/5. “‘Bleed’ is arguably one of the most anticipated album releases in recent memory. No doubt that Shiloh with ‘Bleed’ has created an album that will earn them a place in the top of the leader board between BT, Hybrid and Way Out West. I can’t praise this album enough, the quality and the pure pleasure of listening to this album will mesmerize you.” (Clubbing Magazine)

Shiloh’s BBC Radio 1 mix on Annie Nightengale’s show (one of the most listened to radio shows in the world) went off to massive praise. Shiloh are in the highest demand as DJ’s and regularly play in all the far reaching corners of the globe, taking top billing at some of the best clubs, parties, and festivals around the world in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America–headlining to as many as 12,000 people at Russia’s DJ Parade Festival.

Shiloh’s illustrious journey through this scene hasn’t been driven by marketing specialists or press juggernauts. Their success hasn’t been fueled by gimmicks. In fact, one thing has spearheaded their career and one thing alone… their music. It’s this fact that has made Shiloh an undeniably revered treasure to all progressive-minded dance music fans–a sentiment that has withstood the test of time and will continue to for many years to come.

LUKE CHABLE (Lostep / Trojan Records)

http://www.discogs.com/artist/Luke+Chable
Luke ChableLuke Chable has been at the forefront of the international dance music scene for almost a decade. Since his first release, ‘Accelerator’ (under the moniker Traveller presents Quest) which sold out of four pressings and appeared on no less than eight compilations around the world, Luke hasn’t looked back.

It wasn’t long before Luke had a plethora of original releases under his belt. Club hits like ‘Eat Static’, ‘Sealer’s Cove’, ‘Midnight In Cyberfunk’ and ‘Bitter & Twisted’ were standouts. The quality of Luke’s songwriting and production skills was soon recognised by DJs across the planet and his tracks became regular favourites with the likes of Deep Dish, Sasha, John Digweed and Danny Howells. Following on from this support, John Digweed signed Luke’s smash hit ‘Melburn to his Bedrock label. This in turn put Luke on the global map and set him up for his overseas success.

Luke’s defining moment on the international scene came from a collaboration with Danny Bonnici from seminal Australian electronic act Nubreed. ‘Ride’, a melodic, progressive house bomb was signed to major dance label Alternative Route and the rest is history. The instant success of ‘Ride’ set Luke up as an international powerhouse. In 2005 Renaissance invited Luke to do a compilation mix CD with Dave Seaman before embarking on a year long tour of the UK, Europe and the United States to support the release.

Off the back of his solo success, Luke has been a remixer in demand. His thumping main room sound has been sought after by labels such as Bedrock, Positiva, Ministry of Sound, Yoshitoshi and Black Hole. Some of the big names Luke has remixed include Steve Angello, James Ash, Tune Brothers, Stockholm Syndrome, Kasey Taylor and Shiloh.

More recently Luke has been collaborating in the studio with Australian dance legends TV Rock. This partnership has proven to be a killer combination with the hugely successful releases ‘Happiness (I’m Hurting Inside)’ and the hit ‘In the Air’ – feat Rudy which was released on Axwell’s Axtone Records. Luke has also remixed numerous TV Rock originals such as ‘Everything Changes’, ‘Times Like These’.

More recently Luke has provided remixes for UK superstar Dizee Rascal, ARIA winner Bertie Blackman, TYDI, Tin Alley, Sunlovers and Kaz James.

Substance Rooftop Party ~ Review!

by J-Slyde

In the wake of the Rooftop Party, all we’ve heard is good things about how the day went and how everyone enjoyed themselves. For those unfortunate few that missed out on the day InTheMix.com.au sent down their trusty reviewer, Alianne, to cover the day. She’s done extremely well in capturing what was one of our best events to date. Special thanks to her for the kind words :)

Full article can be found HERE

The Substance crew specializes in amazing parties featuring quality tunes and lots of shenanigans, Rather than bringing in internationals, they embrace the best of Melbourne’s considerable local talent, resulting in grooving sets of a variety of different genres. Previous gigs have included Danny Bonnici at their last Terminus Rooftop party, and Mixed Substance at Brown Alley, showcasing a selection of different locals such as J-Slyde. Tonight, Melbourne’s prog legend Luke Chable would be joining some of the usual crew, along with Muska and Alison Spong, to name just a few.

It was my first time visiting the Terminus Hotel, a cosy two-storey bar in Abbotsford, and even from the outside, I could hear tunes drifting down from the rooftop, making me excited to get inside. Past a fireplace and up a flight of stairs were two rooms with a few people chilling on couches, but the main party was outside on the covered balcony. The weather forecast for the Saturday was for cold and rain, so the dancefloor was completely covered over with plastic along most of the sides too, protecting the booth. Luckily Melbourne’s notorious skies decided to grace us with sun shining onto the dance floor for a big chunk of the afternoon. Dancing in the sun, sunnies on, to deep bassy tunes was amazing!

Taran M was finishing up his set when I arrived, playing a fun and funky mix of tracks, with some remixes of commercial tracks thrown in (I think I may have heard Jay-Z and Linkin Park). Alison Spong was up next, popping her Substance cherry. She played deep progressive tracks, with some excellent melodies thrown in. Not too full on, and ideal for that point in the afternoon, when the majority of the crowd began to arrive. Her mixing was spot on and her set time was ideal, just as the crowd began to swell for the evening.

The upstairs bar, conveniently located at the back of the rooftop area, was kept busy. Their snakebite pints, pink and deadly, were a big hit! Next up came Simon Murphy, who opened with a very amusing remix of Duck Sauce’s Barbra Streisand. He was playing deeper and techier tunes, and soon had the dancefloor moving. I think I heard a D-Nox and Beckers track or two in his set; nice and progressive.

J-Slyde took over around 6pm, and took the party up another level. The sun was shining through the plastic walling behind the booth, dusting the rooftop dancefloor in golden light, as he brought out the breakbeat. A selection of slightly cheesy but oh so good tunes sent the dancefloor wild. Bouncy breaks like The Stanton Warriors’ Still Here transitioned smoothly into techy house, and back into more hip-shaking breaks. Prodigy vs Elite Force – Smack my Force Up was probably the standout tune for me, an excellent mash-up of two banging songs. I loved the placement of the booth right in front of the dance floor so we could see watch his skilful mixing. By the time his hour was up the crowd was ready to dance even more for Chable.

Luke Chable opened with Timo Mass’s Better Make Room (James Holden remix), groovy and a little bit techy, and continued with a selection of some of his classic progressive tunes: his remix of Cloud Cuckoo by Sasha bathed the crowd in melody, and he smoothly blended in several excellent tracks by James Holden, an artist who complements his own style very well. Chable’s classic remix of Dream On was a 10-minute journey through the best of melodic progressive house.

He eventually brought his set to a close but gave into the crowd, playing as an encore PQM’s You are Sleeping, sending the rooftop wild. Overall his set showcased some excellent progressive classics, but I was very disappointed he didn’t feature even one of his classic breakbeat tunes and remixes, especially Melburn, which would have been beautiful on the rooftop. His set did take the energy level down a notch from J-Slyde’s set.

Next up, Muska took the music deeper with a dancey set of rhythmic deep house and tech. The rooftop was beginning to empty out a bit now; with the onset of night it had gotten quite chilly, and despite dancing and a few scattered heat lamps I was feeling the cold. I stuck around for most of the hour, digging Muska’s selection and having a little more room on the dancefloor, but eventually decided to call it an excellent evening and take my weary self home.

Substance put on a stellar party; the crowd was wonderfully friendly, the venue was comfy and perfect for an afternoon gig, and the music was amazing throughout the night, and interestingly varied. The weather and sunshine was the icing on top of a very delicious evening.

In The Mix Looking Local Interview with Luke Chable and J-Slyde

by J-Slyde

In The MixIn the lead up to our Rooftop Party, In The Mix caught up with J-Slyde and Luke Chable for a quick interview about all things Substance and what to expect from Luke’s set.

Article is HERE. If you’re a member, show us some support and go and heart it!
Happy reading :)

With a genre-non-specific music policy and a grass-roots vibe, Substance has been doing its thing for over two years now. Its no-nonsense mission to bring people together to party has proven a hit. After hosting Danny Bonnici for a throwback set earlier this year, the crew has secured another Melbourne legend Luke Chable to dip back into his own classics. We bailed up the Substance players for this Looking Local feature.

What’s the musical philosophy behind Substance?
One of the key aspects we concentrate on when putting on Substance events is offering up an eclectic spread of electronic genres. As our music tastes are so varied I think it’s fair to say that the philosophy behind Substance is not to discriminate where the music is concerned as we find that there’s quality in every genre. We try really hard to convey that in the events we put on.

What have been some of the highlights from your two-and-a-bit years on the scene?
Every event we put on is a highlight! But if I had to narrow it down, our last Rooftop Party, which we held for our second birthday would have to be one of the biggest highlights we’ve had. We were lucky enough to secure Danny Bonnici for an exclusive old-school set – a producer I’ve admired since I first got into DJing and electronic music. It was such a huge thrill to have him down and a really humbling experience. The place was packed out, it was a great day, the crowd were up for a good time, music was on point and everyone had a rocking time. Then to top it off at the end of the night we received ‘the nod’ from a punter – it was like that scene from the movie Groove.

What are some of the risks with running a smaller-scale party in a city like Melbourne?
The risks aren’t really that much different when compared to larger type events. All the usual money-related risks that you face when you put on an event, ensuring you can pull a crowd, match bar spends, pay DJs, promoters and staff, and so on. Obviously because you’re putting on a smaller event the risks aren’t as large, but that is also true for the profit margin. So in a sense you’re running a tighter ship and are restricted a lot more.

Any ideal guests you’ve got your eyes on for the future?
We’ve got our eyes on a few – some Melbourne based DJs that have been in hibernation, like our last guest Danny Bonnici and our upcoming guest Luke Chable. We’ve always been about pushing local talent – there’s that much quality in our home town we don’t really see much need to be looking overseas or interstate just yet.

You’ve got Luke Chable playing an old-school set. What are you hoping to hear from him on the day?
The list is immense! Needless to say I’m a big fan. I’d really love to hear him play some of his older solo and remix work – things he released around the ‘03-05 mark. If I had to choose one track for him to play tho it’d be Melburn or his remix of Gus Gus – David. But I’m sure I’ll be happy with whatever he plays. He’s such a talented artist, so I think we’re all in very safe hands.

How important is the venue for creating the right atmosphere at Substance?
It’s definitely up there, but I can safely say that it’s not the most important factor when it comes to creating the right atmosphere. Music is always at the top for us – that’s what we’ve been about from the start, and that’s what we’ll continue to push. The venue is always a close second though!
Sadly the venue we’re running in at the moment, Terminus Hotel in Abbotsford, has had residential apartments built around it, so it’s looking like we’re on our last few events before new sound restrictions are in force. If all goes to plan we’re hoping to get another one in before the end of the year. Check substancesounds.net for upcoming info.

DJ PROFILE: LUKE CHABLE

I know you’ve been busy with a rock project. Are you looking forward to revisiting the ‘old school’ for this party?
I’ve been very busy with the Empire project for a while now, but I’ve also been writing the possible last round of dance tunes before the showcase for the band. It’s always fun to have a look back at the classics of yesterday, but to have a party with them is even more fun.

Can the cyclical nature of dance music be exhausting, or is it essential to keep the scene interesting?
It’s tiring, yes. But at the same time, it has to happen, otherwise it would all fall on its arse.

Do you still feel Melbourne has the strongest club scene in Australia?
As I haven’t been to many clubs around the country and really experienced it, I couldn’t comment on that with any real evidence. However, I know Melbourne’s club scene is amazingly strong, and its not often you get a city with so many clubs and so many nights on all the time.

When your tracks like Ride and various remixes were making waves overseas, were you tempted to up and relocate?
I moved to Amsterdam in 2005, and spent the year touring Europe and the world both with Renaissance and on my own. I returned to take time off for nearly two years after the Lostep GU tour in 2006.

On a DJ front, what’s your equipment of choice?
CDJ1000s and Pioneer 800.

Any particular record you’re looking forward to dusting off at Substance?
My swag is getting dusted off, and its going be one hell of an hour. All will be revealed on the night!

Luke Chable ~ Rooftop Education!

by J-Slyde

Not familiar with the brilliance that is Luke Chable? Well, we here at Substance Sounds felt that we’d get everyone educated on his music and try to illustrate why we’re so freakin’ amped to have him down at our next Rooftop Day Party. Below we’ve included some of our favorite tracks, colabs and remixes the man has done over the years – they give a great snapshot of what he’s all about and illustrate some of his shining moments over the many years he’s been producing dance music.

He’s been responsible for some of the most unique Prog/Breaks tracks the EDM industry has ever seen, let alone locally, and although mainly known in underground circles in and around Melbourne, he’s well in demand overseas. We here at Substance find it quite strange that such a talented local producer can go under so many people’s radars, so we felt bringing his music to the masses was the right thing to do. Trust us, your ears will be thankful. Get educated!!

 

One of Luke’s first solo excursions, this was signed to Bedrock Breaks and track listed by many of the world’s biggest DJs. Lush flowing break-beat orientated beats that ooze warmth and take you to another place.

 

Teaming up with Danny Bonnici of NuBreed fame, the boys delivered one of the biggest breaks/prog crossovers of the decade. This one put Luke on the map, and for good reason.

 

A track that garnered play listing by many a trance DJ (weirdly enough) and was included on Paul Van Dyk’s PoD2, this is a great example of Luke’s ability to utterly transform music into his own. Chunky attitude driven prog with one of the largest build ups you’ll ever hear.

 

One of his earlier remixes, Luke turns this progressive number into a balls-out prog breaks hybrid. Emotional yet full of attitude.

 

Stepping up again to the remix plate, Luke lends his touch to rework Ferry’s ‘Holding On’ into big room prog house monster.

 

Hailed as one of Luke’s crowning achievements, this is music from another world. Taking no notes from the original whatsoever, Luke threw the remixing rulebook out the window and transformed it into his own. This is music that makes you feel proud of being Australian :)

 

Hopefully we’ve been able to convert some of the uneducated heads out there! So if you like what you’ve heard, or are already a fan, mark October 16th in your diaries. Cause come midday, shit will be ON!
