Amidst the low rumbles and exploratory sounds spilling forth and echoing out from all around our city, dance floors, theatres and concert halls come alive to the overload of cultural offerings that is Melbourne Music Week ... and to celebrate, the HomeBass crew are serving up their own slice of the sonic cake.
This month, Auramechanic takes up curator duties and the result is an epic lineup that pays homage and glances back down the paths of inspiration we’ve taken so far, while also providing an illuminating scope and insight into the future endeavours of two of this country's finest producers, beat-makers, performers and all-round good guys: Safire and Monkey Marc!!
🔊🔊 Safire 🔊🔊 If you’ve spent even a minute on a drum & bass dancefloor in Australia, you would no doubt be familiar with the work of local bass hurdler Safire. Although having said that, he has been scarce on the local scene as 2018 has seen the majority of his time spent in the continuous pursuit of international mega-stardom, burning up both the club and festival scenes across Europe. It's been with privilege and pride that we’ve watched our friend move from strength to strength and earn himself a place on the world’s stage next to the best in the game. Prepare yourself for a good old fashion throw-down as we welcome our brother home.
🔥🔥 Monkey Marc 🔥🔥 Lurking behind the monstrous sound of his classic Akai MPC is from where Monkey Marc prefers to take command of the stage, flooding dancefloors with layers of warm thick analogue baselines and dubbed out rhythms. His signature production style and definitive flavour is unmatched and has long been a favourite of dancefloors across Australia and the world. Having built such a successful career as a renowned super producer and currently releasing with legendary Jamaican deejay Ninjaman, it's a rare opportunity that we get the chance to see him perform the role of DJ. Prepare yourself for a journey thru the crates of his inspiration and influences as Monkey gives you rare insight into the music that has helped shape this legend.

This one is not only just for the head, it’s for the heart and soul of it all as well.
