\\\\\\Feel like dancing?////////////


KNIGHTLIFE
You’ve heard the name before but you can’t quite put your finger on his sound. Without looking very far you find tracks like ‘Crusader’ and ‘Discotirso’ and then it hits you, ‘Oh yeah I know this guy!’ and from then on you’ll be hearing it everywhere, on the radio, in the club and reclined in a supple leather couch with a cool beverage and pleasant company.
Knightlife’s debut 12” on Cutters Records Knightlife I broke onto the Australian dance scene as did his string of remixes for the likes of Alex Gopher, Midnight Juggernauts and the Bag Raiders. Then it was off to DJ around the globe, most recently in North America supporting his label head-honchos, the all-conquering Cut Copy. 
His second 12 ” release, Knightlife II sealed the deal. It featured the pulsing synth-disco gem CRUSADER - an epic journey through luscious breakdowns and sheer four-on-the-floor stomp. And DISCOTIRSO - a staccato aerobic house workout to rival Paris’ best. Now Knightlife has JUST released two more 12”s at the end of 2011 for the wiorld’s pleasure… ‘Serves you Right’ and ‘I Want You’. Even more delicious than his previous two releases, Knightlife promises an amazing summer dance party!

NILE DELTA
Nile Delta is a Melbourne original, an omnipresence in the background of the back rooms with the golden ears and a platinum touch at a discotheque near you. Nile Delta has steadily, deliberately plotted his own path through a variety of guises before landing where we are today. Half of the first ever live incarnation of Cut Copy back in the days when it was a shambolic 2 piece, half of now defunct Relish-signed Riot In Belgium, constantly co-producing with the likes of Das Moth and Comets to name a few, half of Cutters Records inhouse future-dance factory Voltage and all of DJ Belgium, he might have trouble keeping a name but when it comes to keeping party people moving Joel Dickson’s got it made in the shade.

BUTCHER BLADES/ 
Butcher Blades/ deliver score music to the salivating jaws of the club, spreading their word-of-mouth appeal faster and wider with every show. Never has such digital music been so manual and a live electronic band been so visceral. They’ve been featured on triple J Unearthed, played with local luminaries such as World’s End Press, Juggernauts DJ’s and the Naked and Famous to name a few, DJ’ed with Foals and Yeasayer, been featured on a multitude of blogs worldwide, and recently played at Wax Volcanic’s ‘Digital Dusk’ with Forces, Midnight Juggernauts DJ’s and Soft Circle (NYC). From warehouse to festival, it’s been a good year. Come and see why.

January 25^th,  8 pm. $10.

More detailed directions at the end of this event invite.

The industrial waterfront. Birds wheeling around illuminated bridge supports, containers stacked like mountains of steel corpses, city lights burning on the horizon like and black water ebbing at the feet of empty docks.

Come party with us in the badlands.

JUGGERNAUT DJ’s  - Midnight Set

The Midnight Juggernauts in DJ  mode for an epic midnight set.

Crafting live spacescapes at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Singing on the latest Justice album,  DJing to sold out crowds all over the country, running Siberia Records, releasing wildly successful, genre defining dance/prog albums, playing with some of the biggest acts and almost every major music festival on the planet and recently DJing alongside Cut/Copy at Kubik for Melbourne Music Week. What to do after you’ve done all this? DJ at midnight on Melbourne’s industrial waterfront dummy.

FORCES

Forces are the brooding EBM  two piece and THE buzz of the Melbourne music scene right now. Their hypnotic industrial dance has received a lot of attention,  recently supporting Gang Gang Dance in Melbourne and find a home at the Midnight Juggernauts own label, Siberia Records. They’ve even destroyed audiences in live performances at Boxing Rings. Seeing Forces on the docks late at night is like seeing Ennio Morricone conduct an orchestra in the Mexican desert. Perfecto.

SOFT CIRCLE (NYC)

Soft Circle is the brainchild of Hisham Bahroocha,  New York artist, artistic director of the Boredoms Boadrum 77 project in NYC, member of Pixelton (DFA), ex-member of Lightning Bolt and Black Dice, and general visual and musical auteur.

Soft Circle is the levitous sound of a lauded artist. Pitchfork agreed, saying about Soft Circle’s album ‘Full Bloom’: “Whatever: these drumtastic, birdie-chirpin’ ambient soundscapes are really good, and you should totally buy them”.  True. Don’t miss it.

OTHER PLACES

Other Places is the solo project of Mat Watson, Boadrum 11:11 drummer, Mountains in the Sky and core drummer in Nick Zinner’s 41 Strings show at the Sydney Opera House alongside Hisham Bahroocha, Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeah’s) and Ryan Sawyer (ex-At the Drive-In)

Combining the cosmic, unhinged sounds of a 1972 EMS Aks synthesizer, anchored by live drumkit, Other Places moves between loose garage drum beats, electronic minimalism, harmonious anthems and classic science fiction soundtracks.  

THE BROADWAY SOUNDS (DJ Set)

Andrew Diamond Phillips produced his debut EP with the help of Aaron Shanahan (Miami Horror), a dense wave of exotic analogue, collapsing onto the shores of vintage pop. An underground Melbourne gem, and no mistake. He’s bringing his vibrant sound to the summer water, for an early morning dance-a-thon.

THIS WILL BE A PARTY YOU’LL REMEMBER.
