Blue Velvet Bar & Nightclub

Spinning Disc Entertainment presents a new night of big bass and dirty beats. Watch for more dates starting regularly from January 2011

A night of fun, play, socialising and whatever tickles your fancy! Yes, it’s on again at The Blue Velvet Bar & Nightclub in Collingwood.

There are great play areas with plenty of furniture and a great feel to the place with the most friendly and accommodating hosts one could hope for (Cameron and Elizabeth).

We will still be trying for the feel of a private play party rather than that of a nightclub, with unobtrusive background music and a relaxed atmosphere in which to play.

The doors are open from 8.30pm until 9.30pm, then closed, but not locked from 9.30pm to ensure your privacy. This is intended to stop the passerby, not those that are in the know.

As of January 2011, Snake Pit will be on every month, the last Saturday of each.

Looking forward to seeing you all there to re-live the stories of Oz Kink Fest – what a blast..!!!!!!!!!!!

Snake Pit is a BDSM party, NOT a swingers party.

Snake Pit was designed to cater for seasoned BDSM lifestylers who were looking for a venue to socialise and play without the complication of predators, loud music or tourists. This doesn’t mean that curious first timers aren’t welcome if they have a clear interest in BDSM and wish to explore that aspect of their lives. If you have not attended a BDSM party before please take the time to familiarise yourself with the etiquette and general rules of the scene prior to attendance.

FEATURING:

PSYCH CARNI

http://www.psychcarni.com/

Melbourne underground noise band Psych Carni have tortured audiences with confrontational gigs of “mechano-eroticism” for years throughout darkened venues around Australia. Reforming in 2005 for the Melbourne Teknikunst Festival, the band have continued to evolve; touring for The Under The Blue Moon Festival (Syd), The Dead Of Winter Festival (Bris), plus radio airplay in Los Angeles and a NME video award in the UK. Psych Carni have created a sonic battery by fusing elements of industrial, death rock and darkstep in the construction of a dynamic, physical totality.

MINORARC

http://minorarc.com/

A new project by Ivan Bullock (formerly recording as Mystral Tide). Enzyme 15 will not only be the first full band concert of all new material, but may also celebrate the release of the debut CD. Influenced by metal, piano driven classical music, electronica and breaks.

ANON SPEAK

http://www.myspace.com/anonspeak

Couple two of the most unlikely hip-hop associates and you’ve got Anon Speak. Hailing from Melbourne, emcee Lakonic and producer DJ Fokus united in early 2008 to try and create a project that would not only delve into early 90’s boom bap, but combine it with a post modern, futuristic spin to concote a sound that would stand the test of time. Influenced by death, poetry, human nature, all types of music from dub to indie-rock and with a love of loathing and creativity, Anon Speak bring an abstract element to the Australian underground hip-hop scene. Already having supported the likes of Canadian emcee Classified and JJJ favourites Low budget, Anon Speak are quickly rising as they continue to break down hip-hop stereotypes and conventions to bring you a sound that is far from your average.

PSELODUX

http://rooftopaccess.bandcamp.com/

Diversity is key! Pselodux produces a wide range of music and constantly travels beyond genre boundaries with his unique electronic, ambient and dark synthetic worlds.

FATE ÆFFECT

http://www.fateaeffect.webs.com/

Came into existence in 1999 and has been dabbling in electronic music since; in lounge rooms and bedrooms, inspired by the mushroom.
Multi faceted, esoteric experimental electronica used as a vessel for discovering, inspiration to pour into and for anger to vent from.
Enzyme’s set will be semi-live and consists of experimental dystopian soundscapes/ambience/noize and industrial beats.

DJ INFECTIOUS UNEASE

http://www.infectiousuneaseradio.com/

The notorious underground DJ Infectious Unease has been presenting Infectious Unease Radio and DJing at clubs since 1992. A member of Noir Corps, Demus, Dark Stereo (label) and Enzyme (live music events), who has recently released a 4 disc 62 band compilation with his label Infectious Unease Production.

A DJ who loves to explore a plethora of sound and explode it out on the air waves and clubs. DJ Infectious Unease has no fear of delivering a sound of surprise. You just never know what he will seduce, tantalise and drive all your five senses into. With these events he will be assaulting your senses with the sound of Trip Hop, Dubstep, Breakbeats, Drum and Bass, Electronic and hard edge Industrial.
