Lead singer for Lychee Martini, Nicole Shenko, seemed in a vibrant mood when we arrived at Billboard, looking quite fetching in a black and red ensemble, her hair swept at the sides. The lyrics coming through felt a little laden in cheese, however most people seemed to be lapping it up as a smooth start [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2009/02/06/review-crazy-penis/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2008/03/04/review-future-music-festival-perth-2008/ http://www.invurt.com/2008/03/04/review-future-music-festival-perth-2008/#comments Tue, 04 Mar 2008 04:05:28 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=65
Absconding from a nearby East Perth residence, we arrived just in time to see Elite Force in full flight. Simply amazing. His mixes were perfect, his selection was second to none and the energy he displayed behind the decks was commendable. It’s always great to see someone playing who is enjoying themselves as much as [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2008/03/04/review-future-music-festival-perth-2008/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2008/02/04/review-big-day-out-perth-2008/ http://www.invurt.com/2008/02/04/review-big-day-out-perth-2008/#comments Mon, 04 Feb 2008 04:50:23 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=112
Big Day Out. For some, the day of the year, for others, it was an exercise in “what the hell am I doing here again?” – but this years had more than a few moments, nonetheless. Sweating to the extreme, the sun didn’t stop anyone from checking out Dizzee Rascal. To be honest, English and [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2008/02/04/review-big-day-out-perth-2008/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2008/01/01/review-summadayze-2008/ http://www.invurt.com/2008/01/01/review-summadayze-2008/#comments Tue, 01 Jan 2008 04:21:35 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=258
Despite the heat, Chromeo absolutely killed it on the main stage. This duo proved that good things really do come in pairs. Covering a range of old and new tracks, with D-Thugg pumping out his vocoded lyrics via a talkbox, the pair had the crowd eating out of their hands.

It was hot. How does it go? Damn hot. So hot, I could have done a little crotch pot cooking -and that’s nice if you’re with a lady … but not….oh, wait, that’s been done before. Really, though, who cared, besides the idiots who didn’t wear enough sunscreen?

With quick entry to the event, and a near lack of a line even at a peak entry period, Parklife started off with a bang. A huge area, multiple tents, plenty of room for everyone – this looked set to be one of the best starts to the summer festival season for quite some time.

It was another return of one of the old school legends, that had the interest of punters piqued, when Goldie returned to Perth on Saturday night to play at Rises Revolution night. A strange crowd presented itself upon entry – a mix of dnb heads, rise goers and the odd strange people who seem to [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/12/06/review-goldie/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2006/09/05/review-dj-randall/ http://www.invurt.com/2006/09/05/review-dj-randall/#comments Tue, 05 Sep 2006 00:00:05 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=211
It was with eagerness that a crowd of dnb heads turned up at the Hyde Park Hotel to witness the return of old school favourite, DJ Randall, to Perth last Saturday night.

For a year now, the Rise nightclub has been presenting a different face to its Saturday night lineup. Taking elements from all styles of electronic music, Rise has managed to pull of a difficult feat in Perth – producing a night with a span of different genres of music, week after week in order to [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/07/05/review-revolution-1st-birthday-rise/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2006/06/07/review-ministry-of-sound-perth-2006/ http://www.invurt.com/2006/06/07/review-ministry-of-sound-perth-2006/#comments Tue, 06 Jun 2006 23:49:05 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=205
Stepping away from dnb for the evening, Greg Packer pulled out his hiphop and stepped up to the decks. Watching Packer playing old school hiphop is always a treat, and the fact that he was able to run for an extra half an hour, dishing out classic after classic was a pleasant surprise.

It has been the event of the year for over a decade, and this year, the annual go crazy event that is Madhatters, held at Ambar, lived up to its expectations. Arriving early for a pre-party, the look of things to come was presented when we were greeted by the door girl, who was representing [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/05/16/review-madhatters-ball-2006/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2006/04/24/review-dj-bailey/ http://www.invurt.com/2006/04/24/review-dj-bailey/#comments Mon, 24 Apr 2006 11:48:49 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=198
Revolution @ Rise played host to a special event last Saturday, with renowned dnb DJ Bailey being brought to our shores for an event that was looked forward to in dnb circles. Not being traditional dnb territory for touring internationals, the gig was a great mould breaking event, and as the Rise crew begin opening [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/04/24/review-dj-bailey/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/21/review-ltj-bukem-tayo-friction/ http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/21/review-ltj-bukem-tayo-friction/#comments Tue, 21 Mar 2006 11:40:40 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=191
A return by LTJ Bukem to Perth, with an accompanying performance by two other scene heavy weights, Friction and Tayo, is always to be anticipated. Heavy Weight Soundz at Club Capitol last Friday night was indeed anticipated by the dnb crew, and as the night lead on, the evening proved to be exactly what was [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/21/review-ltj-bukem-tayo-friction/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/14/review-inland-knights/ http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/14/review-inland-knights/#comments Tue, 14 Mar 2006 11:33:32 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=188
Inland Knights are a near household name for house fans and DJs specialising in the unbroken side of electronica. With almost every house DJ of any form of reputation owning at least one of their singles, and boasting a rather more than credible production and performance past, the night was set for a completely off [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2006/03/14/review-inland-knights/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2005/12/06/review-hallucinogen/ http://www.invurt.com/2005/12/06/review-hallucinogen/#comments Tue, 06 Dec 2005 10:49:40 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=172
Psy-trance, has never even really hit my register. I have always been a firm believer that if it was even remotely touched by the “Trance” moniker, that it was probably going to sound repetitive and probably wasn’t worth checking out – it was just that stuff that hippies listen to out in the bush.

It seems only a short time since Elite Force, the creative mind behind a new wave of innovative tech-orientated breaks, last visited PE to display why exactly it is that a good party is not always to found in tried and tested formulas.

In the run up to the summer festival series, upon seeing the lineup for Parklife, it was a joy to behold so many quality acts on the one lineup. Looking for all intents and purposes as a mini rendition of the seminal Breaksfest, Parklife had all the frills of the Belvoir event plus the added [...]]]> http://www.invurt.com/2005/09/28/review-parklife-2005/feed/ 0 http://www.invurt.com/2005/01/25/review-bumpa-tipper-skool-of-thought/ http://www.invurt.com/2005/01/25/review-bumpa-tipper-skool-of-thought/#comments Tue, 25 Jan 2005 02:42:05 +0000 Facter http://www.invurt.com/?p=150
With another incarnation of the Bumpa series of breakbeat events at Heat Nightclub been and gone, there is much to be said.

With the promise of some of the best of local breakbeat talent alongside the undeniably infamous breaks legends, Phantom Beats, the scene was set last Saturday eve at Heat Nightclub for those inclined to snare laced drums.
