    Epic Sunday session music. Super chilled out house with a bit of bop half way through. https://soundcloud.com/wankelmut/wankelmut-melt-festival-2013
  4. When I used to record from my mixer, I'd just run in to the mic input on my comp and use audacity. Basic as shit, but quality was always fine. Make sure you're master volume isn't up too high - I found that fucked a lot of recordings I did.
  5. Fuck yeah, I was the dude in the Blue Shirt with Pacman on it raving around, If you remember. I also had a bucket on my head later that night hahahah I had you marked down as best on ground. Excellent form!
  6. Welcome! I'm also a Melbourneite - I was up the front with Mitch during your set going stupid haha.
  7. Holy fucking fuckballs. Mitch, you in?
  8. i didn't actually read your post properly, my bad. yeah, probably not the most suitable for hippity hop.
  9. I was playing with one of these on Saturday night - much epic.
  10. Tech house has been pretty consistent across the years. No surprises there really. Top post, would read again/10.

  15. What do you see in the above picture? A not so pretty looking building block that is surrounded by water, right? A regional estate agent even couldn’t give it a more positive spin: “I’m not going to lie to you, it’s an absolute monster.” There are however a couple of daredevils that have started a crowdfunding campaign to turn this abandoned fort in the middle of the sea into an immersed partying mecca. Or as they call it: ‘Berghain-At-Sea’ The ‘Grain Tower Battery’ as the buidling is called, is a Victorian fort which has attached brick walls from the 20th century and a concrete gun tower. This beast of a building lies of the coast of Scotland, near the Isle of Grain – the meeting point of the rivers Medway and Thames. At around £500.000 pounds, the price seems relatively cheap, seeing as what you will be getting for it. The boys of Minival have big plans for the fort, though, and have started a crowdfunding campaign on gofundme.com, where they call upon potential investors to make a donation and help them reach their target amount of £750.000 (including the renovation costs). The goal: to create a “Berghain or Trouw in the middle of the Sea. It’s Raw. What we want to do is [..] create a safe haven, where the party will never stop.” The overarching idea here is that the partying will go on continuously, since you’re outside of the city limits and aren’t harassing any neighbors with the club’s and club goers’ noise. Imagine yourself on a boat on high tide that will bring you across the sea passage to the a clubbing fortress. Or to go and have a smoke in the designated gun tower smoking lounge. Minival themselves know that the idea is ludicrous, but have a firm belief in their new dream: “It sounds ridiculous but imagine if what we set out to do was accomplished, we call on everyone, for the love of music, for the love of the party, get involved. Dream to Dream.” Source
  16. x 2. time to load up with techo.
  17. Gosh darn you are one top whale. I think I'll wait for something like this to come up. Is it cheaper to go BNE to SYD then SYD to PERTH? Not really. Its an extra flight and unnecessary flying. You could fly ROK-BNE, then get a cheapy from there.
  18. If you want to fly a good airline, I'd book now. My flights are about $250each way which is fairly decent. If you don't mind flying shit, then you can wait. Virgin do a happy hour every Thursday between 4-8PM and Jetstar the same on Fridays so keep an eye on them.

  20. Happy to help whales out booking shit. Can give slight discounts in Virgin and Qantas, but will have the same price as Jetstar online. We don't deal with Tiger cause they're shit, so will have to do that one yourself.
  21. Am keen to listen to this when I get home. All bullshit aside, the bloke does know how to put on a show.
  22. A place to post flight prices for the meat this year. This is NOT one to miss out on. For those of you that like full service airlines, Virgin/Qantas currently have sale fares out around those dates: Virgin: VA 683 19MAR Melbourne - Perth 1245 1400 VA 686 23MAR Perth - Melbourne 1205 1840 Currently pricing at $505 per person Qantas: QF 475 19MAR Melbourne - Perth 1040 1145 QF 476 23MAR Perth - Melbourne 1245 1920 Currently pricing at $558 per person If you're a peasant, Tiger have bullshit cheap flights, $129 each way. I suggest booking these for travel in February so you achaly get there in time. Feel free to add to this if you see anything. If there are groups of you travelling together, let me know and I can make sure everyone arrives around the same time to make things easier for our chauffeurs in Perth.
  23. When Calvin Harris topped last year’s Electronic Cash Kings list with a stunning $46 million in annual earnings, it seemed symptomatic of a bubble in the burgeoning EDM scene. But since then, the only thing that has popped is the income of the world’s highest-paid DJs. Harris, whose total surged to $66 million for the past 12 months, is once again EDM’s Cash King. The top ten earners on our list racked up a staggering $268 million this year, 11% more than the $241 million haul of last year’s top ten. Playing more than 50 festival and nightclub gigs, Harris even out-earned the likes of Toby Keith and Jay Z. “The rise of dance music has been astronomical in the last three years,” Harris told FORBES. “I happened to be in the right place at the right time.” Harris is followed on the list by David Guetta at $30 million. In the past 12 months, the former Parisian club manager has spent time on tour with Rihanna and has penned songs for Britney Spears and Lady Gaga on their latest albums as well. Guetta commands some of the top fees in Las Vegas but stays true to his European roots, maintaining a weekly residency in Ibiza. That’s increasingly uncommon, as DJs have been choosing the greener pastures of Nevada over the Mediterranean music Mecca. “I’ve been going there for the last 10 years, it felt there was nothing special,” said third-ranked Tiësto last year, shortly after ditching his Ibiza residency. “And then I got the offer to play in Las Vegas … They made me a great proposal, not just the money but also what they’re going to do there, the biggest club in the world.” That club, Hakkasan, is responsible for a large chunk of Tiësto’s recent earnings: he banked $28 million over the past year. He’s tied for third on our list with 24-year-old Avicii, who had the best 12 months of his young career on the strength of debut album True. The record included “Wake Me Up,” which became the first electronic song ever to move more than 4 million units in the U.S. Steve Aoki, son of Benihana founder Rocky Aoki, rounds out the top five with $23 million, also the best showing of his career. His is a volume business: Aoki sometimes plays three shows in a single day, and his schedule had almost double the amount of shows of anyone on our list. He’s also boosted by endorsements with Bud Light, Guitar Center and Scion. Plenty of other DJs are reaching new heights in terms of annual earnings, from sixth-ranked Afrojack ($22 million) to seventh-ranked Zedd ($21 million) to eleventh-ranked Hardwell ($13 million). Even the individual members of Swedish House Mafia, which scored $25 million last year in its swan song as a group, are now earning more than they did together in 2013: Steve Angello alone pulled in $12 million, good for No. 12 on this year’s list. “It’s just grown gigantically because it’s such a great business,” he says of electronic music. “And it’s a great business model because you have all these kids that want to go to all these events, and that’s a great way of making a business stand very fast.” Angello’s former colleagues Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell are among this year’s near misses. Both of them earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million, as did DJ Pauly D, Diplo, Paul Oakenfold, and Daft Punk. The latter came within a disc’s breadth of making the list thanks to album Random Access Memories, and certainly would have made it if they’d played even a handful of live gigs. Our estimates for the Electronic Cash Kings list include earnings from live shows, merchandise sales, endorsements, recorded music sales and external business ventures. Earnings totals were calculated for the 12-month period from June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2014. Sources include Songkick, Pollstar, RIAA, managers, lawyers and some of the people at the heart of the EDM revolution. “I used to put the DJ on the floor and he was in the corner,” recalls Pasquale Rotella, who sold half of his Insomniac Events to Live Nation for $50 million last year. “It was tough making paper mache props leading up the event day. It’s a whole new world—the music’s different, the crowds are different, the budgets are way different.” That’s certainly true—and nobody knows it better than this year’s crop of top-earning DJs.
