Haarp Media Sessions 002 - Kayhat by Haarp Media Sessions on Mixcloud

Originally mixed by Kayhaton June 2014…

Another great local night at eFiftyFive featuring Kayhat, U-Wish and Able 8 as DJs from 8pm-1am, which will leave you time to get the tram home.

Great chemistry between the three of us was shown last time in a packed-out and cosy venue, which will be getting even cosier now that it's coming up to Melbourne winter.

Get down into the basement for a nice, sloppy Thursday evening on a nice, sloppy couch with some nice, sloppy beer and toasties, whilst you and your friends get nice and sloppy.

8pm-1am. eFIftyFive, 55 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne CBD. Free!

People are clearly dancing and enjoying themselves. There's around 70+ people out here. Group of people standing right next to the speaker on a Friday night in Fitzroy.

*Person from group comes over and asks me to turn the music down.

Me: "Er, maybe you can go talk somewhere away from the speaker? I can see how it might be kind of loud for you."

Him: "But I know the manager..."

Me: "Okay, go tell the manager and I'll turn it down. I have to play music for people who are dancing and having a good time, so maybe they should be being a bit less rambunctious, you think?"

Him: "That's a bit passive aggressive, I'm just asking for you to turn it down a bit, I mean, c'mon."

Me: "Thanks for your feedback, I really do appreciate what you have to say, but I have to satisfy the venue's format and requirements."

Him: "If you don't turn it down, I'll have to ask the manager to have it turned down. You get paid to do this, right?"

Me: "You go do that. I have to mix a track now, I'm sorry."

*Guy freezes, looks at me, looks at people dancing, goes back and stands with his group, doesn't go find manager.

WIN.

See, it's these kind of knobs who move into a cool place and then expect the environment to suit exactly what they want to do, then they go and tell people about they moved to Melbourne for the culture, DJs and live music.

It says to me something about our general white history and tells me colonialism is alive and well, except we're now the natives being invaded (by people from where, exactly? Mars?). I wish we could scalp these people or jam a spear through their thigh, to be honest.

Oh and everyone else had fun, except one guy who got a bit too pissed and embarrassed himself in front of his hot girlfriend. I kinda felt for him.

(Warning To Reader: Yes, this is a blatant self-promotion and doesn't pretend at being anything else. But hey, am I not a part of this scene too?!)

Hello all. I'll be playing with my friend Andre Le Vogue of Scarlett Vogue Productions coming up towards the end of May and want to get you guys down to check out this venue. Le Vogue and his partner Scarlett Minx have been holding up things on the techno and deep house front in Melbourne for a very long time, and are an understated yet (in my mind) integral part of the Melbourne electronic music community. They deserve props for what they do, and it's my pleasure to be playing alongside Andre at his very excellent night for my second time as a DJ. His Friday and Saturday residencies never lack for good guests, and I consider it a nod to be amongst those who play here. The Fitzroy Beer Garden is up on the corner of Smith and Gertrude streets in Fitzroy and is a lovely low-key way to spend a Friday/Saturday night. There's an open air area out the back where the DJs are and they have another bar. You can smoke out there, order your food, and get a place to sit with your friends at a picnic bench. I hope some of you guys (esp friends, I'm looking at you, Northside Lowkey click) can come down and hang out, maybe have a bit of a shuffle, get tipsy, eat some nice food, catch up with other friends, get home without terribly injuring yourself, etc.  Peace Kayhat

8pm-1am. The Fitzroy Beer Gardens, 243-245 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Free!

Come along this Thursday evening to catch Able8, U-Wish and myself (Kayhat) play at eFiftyFive for a session of beats that are right on the pulse of where it's at right now.

I have to say that it's always fun playing with two guys that have become very close to me as workmates and friends over the last couple of years, and all of us are really passionate about our scene in Melbourne. It's something we believe in enough to be out night after night as three guys who are out all the time.

Why is this night different to other nights? Why would you want to see us play yet again? I'll tell you why plain and simple without embellishment.

When us three get together, some magic happens. We all come from similar places, yet we still contrast each other in a really positive blend. Last time we got together at eFIftyFive, we had everyone engaged to our sound platter from start to finish.

Do you detect a little bit of bias in this article? Of course. Can any journalist who does things on a voluntary basis be impartial? I love what I do, and it's what I am in essence. We're all about love for our beats community, and we'll show you this love when we combine like Voltron for you.

Hope to see you there, kids, much love. We fucking represent.

8pm-1am. eFiftyFive, Basement Level, 55 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne CBD. Free!
