Interview between Arteq and Chan: www.arteqproductions.com.au/post/atqpod029chan

The 29th Arteq podcast is brought to you by good friend Brenton Chan. Brenton is one of the rising forces in the Melbourne electronic scene, and has an incredible ear for sexy, driving, emotional dance music.

He has been making his mark on the DJ circuit, retaining residencies across some of the hottest Melbourne spots, and for good reason. His sets are tight, and it's an honour to have him share with you all for our latest edition, circa April 2021.

Thank you Brenton, this mix is AMAZING brother!

Mutant House Party 10 July 21

Things I have said about Revolver Upstairs:

That it is my spiritual home.
That it is my church and it is where I heal my hurts.
That during isolation I had a Revs-shaped hole in my life.
That in the past I moved 15 mins walk away when I left an ex so that the Revs dancefloor could help me process and heal.
That I love Revs and Revs loves me back.
Once I was on a date and the dude started talking smack about Revolver - I wound things up very quickly after that and haven't seen or spoken to him since.
That Revs on a Sunday is Sunday Service and we are a family.
That all roads lead to Revs.
That I like living my Revs life.
Revsforevs.

So you can see how I might have been a bit overinvested and uptight maybe. Afterwards I focussed on what I could have done better, a touch overcritical. However I have since had good feedback, the most convincing of which got back to me from  friends of a friend who do not know me at all so had no reason to be nice - they enjoyed my set, which makes me super happy.

I played from 3am to 530am, thank you for having me Revolver Thursdays!

A very dear friend that has been with us long before the beginning, An inspiration to us as a whole and of course one of our favourite features at any event we hold.

Fine China is a young, charismatic and energetic soul fresh out of the eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Called to the party much younger than he was allowed to be there and prone to annoying his older friends staying up later at all the kick ons, he was not supposed to be at.
A curator of beats, a smooth mixer with his fancy finger work, and a true lover of all music. His favourite genre’s range from jazz, rap, and the occasional Dua Lipa song. His favourite place to be is behind the decks focusing on house and will take any opportunity to experiment with new sounds. Anything chuggy with a quirky element, like him, is his style. 
The venues he frequents in Melbourne range from Revs, 161, Pawn & Co, Tramp, Brown Alley, Circus, Beyond the Palms, Lucky Coq and is a resident at Sooki Lounge which he is proud to call home.

We're thankful for Sean and his craft, a very valuable gem amongst the crowd here in Prox.

018 of the rcSessions mix series is courtesy of our brother Handsdown. We have been intertwined since the inception with a countless number of raging parties, killer sets and unquestionable amount of fun touring/performing across Europe over the years. From strength to strength as always, it's good to see him continuing to smash it on all fronts.

This mix is a concoction of deep and dark, abstract melodic energy that hits the spot in all the right places. Strap in and enjoy the journey.

rcSessions 018 | Handsdown

This weeks Intercept mix has been recorded live at Sooki Lounge during one of our own Proxima Frequencies curators & founders Connor Mac's warm-up set for Berlin based Emanuel Satie at Sooki Saturday's 6th birthday.

Connor Mac is one of the longest standing residents at Sooki Lounge, having soundtracked evenings at Belgrave's house & techno landmark for the last 8 years. Outside of Sooki Lounge, his near decade-long stint behind the wheels has seen him play at some of Victoria's finest establishments such as Revolver Upstairs, My Aeon & XE54 where he's been given the opportunity to warm up for international heavyweights such as Quivver, Renier Zonneveld, Jeremy Olander, Sebastien Leger, Kasper Koman & countless others. 

Outside of the club circuit, Connor has also made his footprint on Victoria's festival circuit, having recently played at Interstellar Groove Frestival - as well as Rainbow Serpent Festival, Earthcore, Babylon & The Comfort Zone.

This mix falls outside of what you may be used to from Connor, as he has steered away from his deep and progressive house sounds typified in his productions and opted for a boppy & club moving minimal house set. Whatever it is he's dishing up, we hope you enjoy it!

Before & After

The second intercept from our very own, https://soundcloud.com/joonmack

Joon is quickly becoming a "Jack of all trades" amongst us here at Proxima.
Handling our digital art, bookings, stage and lighting design as well as slowly pushing his way into the psychedelic world of techno as an artist.

With an obsession for production quality and it's synergy with the sensory experience of being human, Jack has found himself producing more and more of the deep, dark and mind melting sounds that you find with in psychedelic genres.
Consciousness is at the forefront of our experience, it's something about these unusual, alien sounds that reminds us that this music is pure thought and creativity from each producers mind.
These sounds are unmatched in the natural world, thus a direct stream of consciousness into an audible experience.

This episode brings you Joonmack's set from Bangboza; Our Australia day event held up on the waters edge of Lake Eildon.
Bangboza started with us bringing speakers and decks camping and eventually came to a head at the start of this year when we pulled together an amazing crew and really put our minds to making it something special.
While Bangboza may never be repeated in the way that it was at the start of the year we're definitely looking forward to more events of the like, and most importantly we're looking forward to having you there too!
