On May 15 when the clock ticked passed 3am, the lamp turned off and the closing set began. 

A booking we had been excited about for months - Bongani took us home with a 2 hour performance, full of many moments leaving great memories imprinted in our minds. 

Here is the full set recording to relive those moments and to brighten up the lockdown with a bit of Bongani! 

Follow us on SoundCloud for more recordings coming very soon.

Bongani @ Under The Lamp - 15.05.21 (3am - 5am)

It's been a long time coming... but we are just as excited to share this with you now, as we were when it happened.

Back in March, headlining our first event back after a year on pause, Gabriel Moraes went Under The Lamp to a sold out audience.

Raring and full of energy, every person on that dancefloor contributed to what was such an incredible night!

To say thank you, below is the recording to relive the moments and memories from when the lights went out and the lamp came on for Gabriel Moraes - Under The Lamp.

Gabriel Moreas - Under The Lamp - 20.03.2021 (1am - 3am)

This week's Mid Week Mix comes from our very own residents, The Regulators. 

Always a crowd favourite, The Regulators' sets combine melodic techno, progressive house, grungy baselines and dance floor classics - all whipped up into the perfect late night storm. 

This particular recording comes from their most set at The Journey - Under The Lamp and gives a great insight into the kind of music you can expect when we return to Loop Project Space and Bar on July 24 for Doshpot - Under The Lamp.

The Regulators @ Under The Lamp - 15.05.21 (1130pm - 1:00am)

Here it is.. 
The moment you’ve been waiting for… 

Here is the recording from BONGANI - Under The Lamp! 

Featuring the sound of the crowd there on the night, we hope this recording helps you relive the electric atmosphere of the experience. 

We want to say another big thank you to BONGANI for everything he contributed to the event - treating us to an outstanding performance Under The Lamp. 

And thank you to everyone that came along for making the experience what it was. You are the reason we do what we do. 🤍

Bongani - Under The Lamp - 21.05.2022 (1am - 3am)

The Mid Week Mix is our opportunity to share music with you in between Under The Lamp nights.

Each episode features a guest mix provided by our favourite local artists that resonate with the sound of our events. Something to break up the week and get you boogieing toward the weekend.

This week’s mix has been put together by Jove. We first saw Jove playing at Prince Bandroom back in 2019. We immediately connected with his selecting style - creating variety across the set by shifting through moods and styles in an engaging way. 

We have been following him ever since and it’s been great to see him go from strength to strength in both the booth and the studio. His productions have developed a dark, yet upbeat sound that very much resonates with us. 

We want to say a big thank you to Jove for the time put into curating this mix for the series and we hope you enjoy!

Mid Week Mix - Jove (Guest Mix)

This is the recording from when The Regulators closed up shop after Bongani - Under The Lamp at our most recent event.

The atmosphere was electric all the way through to 5am and it definitely marks a highlight in the Under The Lamp series so far. 

We’re stoked to let you know that we have another round for you. Next Saturday, The Regulators will be closing up shop again, this time after Miza goes Under The Lamp!

The Regulators @ Under The Lamp - 21.05.22 (3am - 5am)

You asked, we listened and it’s FINALLY here. This week’s Throwback Thursday is a flashback to July 23 and the set recording from Miza - Under The Lamp. 

We hope you enjoy listening back and reliving the experience! 

A big thank you from all of us to Miza for your performance Under The Lamp and everything around event, as well as to everyone who came along and danced all night with us. 

Be sure to follow us to have access to all of our Mid Week Mixes, Under The Lamp Recordings and more. 

Tickets for our next Under The Lamp performance with Le’bruh are available on eventbrite.

Miza - Under The Lamp - 23.07.2022 (1am - 3am)

This week’s Mid Week Mix comes from a relatively new artist by the name of Dub Darko. 

Dub Darko came onto our radar after she attended Bongani - Under The Lamp back in May of this year, which inticed her to get behind the decks and record a mix that hit a similar tone, which she shared with us. 

This was music to our ears (pardon the pun). 

At The Sound Project, we want the Mid Week Mix to provide an opportunity for artists to ply their trade and for listeners to exert their emotions through the motive of music, in turn hopefully inspiring the next generation of DJs and dancers alike. 

Our Mid Week Mix series reflects the sound of our Under The Lamp events, whilst providing a platform to the DJ’s who make Melbourne’s music scene so special. As a new and inspiring artist, Dub Darko perfectly fits that bill.

We hope you enjoy!

Mid Week Mix - DubDarko (Guest Mix)

For today’s Mid Week Mix, we are pleased to bring you a live recording from our most recent Under The Lamp event. 

Opening up the floor for what was an incredible night, we had Nicolette a.k.a Vena Cava treat us to an outstanding performance. 

The opening slot is by far one of the most important slots of the night in our eyes. To set the pace and build tension for the night to come. Keep the energy at bay but give people a little taste here and there, of the chunky sounds they are all so eager to hear. 

Vena Cava did just that and it’s safe to say that this was one of our favourite opening sets ever performed at Under The Lamp. 

We want to say a big thank you to Vena and we hope you all enjoy listening back to the set as a teaser of what’s coming in just 9 days time when we open up shop for Le’bruh - Under The Lamp. 

Final release tickets remaining (capped at 100).

Vena Cava @ Under The Lamp - 23.07.22 (10pm - 11:30pm)

It's that time of the week once again where we aim to help you dust off the post-weekend blues as you begin the process of limbering up ready for more weekend debauchery in just a couple of days' time. Tonight we have a recording from our event before last that we know you’ve been waiting to listen back to.

The Mid Week Mix series aims to give you a little taste test of what can be expected at one of The Sound Project’s events and Fosta’s recording from his warm up set for Miza - Under The Lamp absolutely slaps!!

Expect high energy, fist pumping, speaker crunching bangers from the get go. 

We hope you enjoy!

Fosta @ Under The Lamp - 23.07.22 (11:30pm - 1am)

It’s been a little over 2 weeks since our last Under The Lamp and to say Le’bruh blew the roof off during his headline set is nothing short of an understatement. 

Since then, we’ve received so many requests asking for the live recording, that it didn't feel right to make you wait any longer!!

Le’Bruh is a master of his art. His ability to switch seamlessly between genres, captivating the attention of his audience is an expertise that only years of execution can achieve. 

So sit up, strap in and enjoy two hours of brilliance from Le'bruh - Under The Lamp.

Le'bruh - Under The Lamp - 24.09.2022 (1am - 3am)

There are very few artists within Melbourne’s club circuit that could rival the speed and magnitude of BINI’s recent rise in popularity, and even fewer artists as deserving. 
 
As a DJ, one of the fundamental cornerstones of the art form is the ability to not only play the music that your audience wants to hear, but to have the confidence and aptitude to play the music that you yourself want to play. This subtle, but substantial difference is the distinction between an artist who plays for the dance floor and one that controls it. 
 
BINI is a natural on the controls. 
 
In March last year when Gabriel Moraes went Under The Lamp, BINI jumped on the decks for an impromptu closing set to cover an artist that wasn’t able to make it in the last minute. As was to be expected, that performance was incredible and we are happy to announce that right now we are releasing the recording from that very set for you to relive and enjoy. 
 
Very soon, BINI returns from Europe, having boasted sets at world famous venues including Sisyphos (Berlin) and Fundbureau (Hamburg). Closer to home, BINI has supported internationals as influential as Township Rebellion and appeared at festivals including LUFT and Esoteric. 
 
On November 19, BINI joins forces with fellow powerhouse Ebony Willis for what is sure to be an incredible Under The Lamp Performance: 
 
Ebony Willis b2b BINI - Under The Lamp.
 
Limited tickets on sale 12pm October 26th.

BINI @ Under The Lamp 20.03.2021 (3am - 5am)

Today we are releasing a throwback Under The Lamp set!

As this time of year marks the anniversary of when it happened, we are throwing back to last years incredible performance from Doshpot - Under The Lamp.

Playing to a sold out dancefloor, Doshpot treated us to an immersive set featuring live instruments, which was a heap of fun and remains in our minds as one of our favourite Under The Lamp performances to date.

We hope you enjoy reliving the experience through the recording!

Doshpot - Under The Lamp - 27.11.2021 (1am - 3am)

The time has come… 

The live recording from when Ebony Willis & BINI went b2b Under The Lamp is here! 

Playing to a sold out crowd, Ebony & BINI treated us to an incredible performance combining each of their styles and sounds together to create a unique and memorable experience. 

Many moments throughout the night are cemented in our minds as great memories of one of the best Under The Lamp events to date. 

We can all relive those moments now by listening to the full live recording here. 

Feel free to follow us here on SoundCloud for more Under The Lamp recordings and guest mixes from our favourite Melbourne artists. 

We want to say another big thank you to Ebony & BINI and we hope you enjoy!

Ebony Willis b2b BINI - Under The Lamp - 19.11.2022 (1am - 3am)

Brenton Chan played for us back in May 2022 when he warmed up the floor before Bongani went Under The Lamp. 

To say the floor was warm, is a massive understatement. His performance took some of our extended family completely by surprise and we still have some of those same people talking about his set to this day. For those people, we have something for you at the end of this post. 

We’re stoked to announce that you can now listen to the recording from Brenton Chan’s warm up set at Under The Lamp.

Brenton Chan @ Under The Lamp - 21.05.2022 (11:30pm - 1am)

For today's Mid Week Mix, we look all the way back to May last year and to one of our favourite Under The Lamp events, Bongani - Under The Lamp.

Opening up the room, we had Jemima set the pace for the night to follow. Her sound quickly turned drinkers into dancers as she built an animated and engaged dance floor. 

We see the opening slot as one of the most important. It marks the sound of an event and creates the base layer for how the party will progress. 

We were really impressed with Jemima's performance and we recognise it as a big contributor to the night being as incredible as it was! We want to thank her for jumping on board for this one and for playing such a thoughtful set.

We hope you enjoy listening back!

Jemima @ Under The Lamp - 21.05.2022 (10:00pm - 11:30pm)

We’ve got a Mid Week Mix for you this week as we look all the way back to September last year and the event Le’bruh - Under The Lamp. 

Warming up before Le’bruh, our resident duo The Regulators played a set we’ve been very much looking forward to reliving!

This set features The Regulators’ usual style whilst leaning toward housier sounds which made for a lot of fun, especially given it was one half of the duo - Tawanda’s birthday. 

We had a blast that night, a great time listening back and we hope you enjoy the recording just as much as we do!

Feel free to follow us here on SoundCloud for recordings from all our events, as well as guest mixes and more.

The Regulators @ Under The Lamp - 24.09.22

This week, we're happy to be releasing the first of the live recordings from our front room takeover at Revolver on Good Friday Eve the month before last. 

Good friend of The Sound Project, Tom Roberts made his debut Revolver performance and set the pace for an amazing night. He slotted right into place, filling the room with energy and making selections that nicely complimented our Revolver showcase. That night was our favourite takeover collab yet and that's a credit to Tom for his contribution.

Thank you once again to Tom for this set and thank you to everyone that joined us that night. That was something else, we had a blast!

Tom Roberts @ Revolver (TSP Takeover - Good Friday Eve) - 06.04.23 (12 - 1:30am)

At our most recent Day Party on Circus Rooftop, all of our TSP residents The Regulators, Ezra & Spyke went b2b2b for 3 hours to open up and kick off the day. 

Showcasing the lighter end of our sound including deep house, afro and progressive, this was a great way to start off what was an incredible Day Party! 

On July 29th, our TSP residents will be going b2b2b again to open up the day - this time for an extended 4 hour set. 

This is an intimate event. There are only 100 tickets available. On sale at 12pm next Wednesday July 5th. 

We hope you enjoy listening back to this recording and we look forward to seeing you on July 29th!

The Regulators b2b Ezra b2b Spyke @ TSP Day Party (Circus Rooftop) - 22.04.23 (2pm - 5pm)

At our Day Party back in April, Doshpot well and truly blew the roof off the place!

Jumping on just after the sun went down, Doshpot built on the energy of the day and took us on a dive into the night portion of the event. 

We were really impressed with this set and we particularly liked the way that his selections expressed some of the sounds and direction of his recent production work. 

This set got us thinking we'd love to have Doshpot back soon and on the closing slot for a future Day Party. We're stoked at the fact that that is exactly what is happening this Saturday. 

For everyone that has a ticket, we look forward to partying with you all day before enjoying another performance from Doshpot. 

We hope you enjoy this recording to get you ready for the weekend and we'll see you at 2pm on Saturday.

This event is sold out with no door sales available.

Doshpot @ TSP Day Party (Circus Rooftop) - 22.04.23 (6:30pm - 8:00pm)

Today, we look back to our April Day Party on Circus Rooftop and to the incredible set delivered by Vena Cava. 

Jumping on after our TSP resident b2b2b and taking us through sun set, Vena Cava treated us to a set that nicely weaved through different moods of quality progressive house. 

We really enjoyed this set and it was a great way to move from the day into the night time portion of our event. We want to thank Vena Cava for being involved and for everything she does to support us. Big love from all of us. 

For the full set recording, jump over to our SoundCloud through the link in our bio. We hope you enjoy listening back as much as we have.

Vena Cava @ TSP Day Party (Circus Rooftop) - 22.04.23 (5:00pm - 6:30pm)

This week we look back to April and to our first Day Party on Circus Rooftop. 

Taking on the closing slot was none other than Whitefoxx. 

As the duo that combines Adam Wicks and Brenton Chan, Whitefoxx is an act that we were very excited to have involved and been planning for quite some time. 

Our expectations were high, but it's safe to say that they were exceeded by this performance. 

Taking over from Doshpot, Whitefoxx treated us to a 2 hour set that closed out the night and left all of us wanting more. 

Some of our favourite closing sets have struck the balance between including engaging tracks that keep a warn out crowd involved, and playing straight up dirty tunes that progress the night toward the finish. Whitefoxx struck this balance very nicely and we thoroughly enjoyed having them involved. 

We want to say a big thank you to both Adam & Brenton, and we hope you enjoy listening back to their set as much as we have. 

Coming up in just over 2 weeks time, we've assembled another lineup that we're really excited about. Join us as we collaborate with Techno Time to provide 2 floors of music at My Aeon on Saturday Sep 16th. Tickets on sale now.

Whitefoxx @ TSP Day Party (Circus Rooftop) - 22.04.23 (8:00pm - 10:00pm)

Today we look back to Good Friday Eve and our Revolver Upstairs takeover for the release of another recording. 

This time it’s the set provided by our resident duo The Regulators. 

This Saturday, you can catch The Regulators at our collab with Techno Time at my aeon.

The Regulators @ Revolver (TSP Takeover - Good Friday Eve) - 06.04.23 (1:30 - 3:00am)

This week we have another recording from our takeover at Revolver Upstairs on Good Friday Eve. 

Closing our stage showcase in the early hours of the morning was a set provided by TSP resident Ezra. His performance kept the crowd actively involved right to the end and left us all wanting more. 

Within this set, Ezra also dropped a renovated version of his track America!

Bound - Mid Week Mix (Guest Mix)

Back in May we had Candi open up our day party on Circus rooftop. 

We had been looking forward to having her play for quite some time and we can say for sure that she exceeded our expectations. 

Candi is a great selector with a unique music library and her performance in May had us up dancing from the get-go. It was a great way to start the party and set the foundations for the event to be as fun as it was!

Thank you once again to Candi for jumping on board and we hope you all enjoy reliving her set.

Candi @ TSP Day Party (Circus Rooftop) - 11.05.24 (2:00pm - 3:30pm)

Picture this.. 

It’s the early hours of the morning. 
You’re in Revolver, stuck, held captive by an onslaught of great tunes. 
There’s no way out and your only choice is to embrace it - we’ve all been there. 

Two Melbourne heavy weights, going b2b for 3 hours straight, in a way you haven’t quite heard from them before, the crowd eating from the palm of their hands. 

The guilty artists - Luke Vecchio and Le’bruh. 

And so there, over a year and a half ago, the idea for Luke Vecchio b2b Le’bruh - Under The Lamp was born. 

As luck would have it, last week Luke came across the recording from that very night at Revs and the pair of them wanted it to be a gift to say thank you to all the people who supported our recent cancelled event - something to tie us all over until the real thing.

To coincide with this, for many months we’ve been planning to start a SoundCloud page, featuring the sounds and sets you’ll experience at Under The Lamp. So what better way to kick things off!  

Once again, a massive thank you to everyone for their ongoing support and to the boys for providing us with a little taste of what can be expected when the clubs open, the lamp turns on and Luke Vecchio & Le’bruh present their craft. 

Until then, enjoy this and make sure to follow us here for more..

For today’s Mid Week Mix, we present our second guest mix - this week from local artist and co-founder of Proxima Freq, Hvitserk.

As an artist, Hvitserk draws his inspiration from natural and organic sounds, reminding us of musical origins.

Being relatively new behind the decks, Hvitserk's passion is obvious, but his ability to turn this passion into a talent deserves admiration and he’s certainly an artist to watch out for over the coming years.

This mix strikes the perfect tone, with funky baselines and ethnic sounds you’ll quickly understand why he’s the perfect fit for our guest mix series.

His podcast series Proxima Freqs frequently posts mixes from local artists and is a must listen for lovers of the deep and progressive.

A true local talent, a friend of The Sound Project and now your friend too.

Enjoy 90 minutes of Hvitserk..

Mid Week Mix #9 - Hvitserk (Guest Mix - Vol.2)

t’s often hard to describe to people what makes Melbourne’s underground  music culture so special. Why groups of people from different backgrounds spend hours and hours dancing away in fields or nightclubs to music and artists they may have never heard of before. 

But for those who know, they’ll understand its really just as much about the people as it ever is the music.

Denis is an easy tool to use to get those people to understand. 

Whether he’s behind the decks or in front of them,  kicking back on the sofa or kicking up dust on the dance floor - if Denis is present, you’re guaranteed a good time. 

But then there’s his music. For us, DK is the go-to closer. His deep and dirty sound is perfect for a late night set. He brings energy to our dancing boots when we feel we have nothing left. Having played at bush doof’s such as Esoteric and Wild People, graced some of Melbournes best known nightclubs and of course being the co-founder of the incredible Who Loves events, Denis really is, the man for your moment.

For this guest mix, we recommend you put your tools down, turn the volume up  and escape to festival season.
