Drop #12 (1st Birthday Special) w/ Arctic (UK)

It’s been a full year since we begun knocking the cobwebs from your ears with bass tones fatter than your nan’s weed stash, at our monthly ‘Drop’ dubstep parties, and we’re still smokin’ up speakers with some of the finest dubstep DJs getting around.

This month, we’re celebrating this milestone with UK ex-pat, bass connoisseur and 50/50 (Melbourne’s biggest grime party) resident, ARCTIC – biting into Drop #12 with fangs cut on meaty UK grime and dubstep flavors. This lad is no slouch, having performed alongside huge acts such as Datsik, Skism and Foreign Beggars, this man knows his stuff.

On top of that, expect a full force assault of bass weaponry, with veteran Hobartian neck snapper ADAM TURNER and beat mechanic LIDS going back to back with a savage selection of dubstep and dnb sounds, along with Drop resident DJ AKOUO.

There’s gonna be giveaways and surprises all night long from 9pm til you can’t take it no more. FREE ENTRY @ ALCHEMY, LAUNCESTON.

Drop #8 (Launceston) w/ Kurk Kokane & Kombat (of KPC)

This month, we’re rolling in the same killer PA system we’ve used for our last seven monster ‘Drop’ parties into the Northern Club for Drop #8!

Wednesday 7th Dec, we’re amping it up, pulling down two members of KPC crew, Kurk Kokane (Melb) and Kombat (Sydney) to rip out …some hectic drumstep/dubstep for your bones!

Same deal as usual, $5 uni / $7 regular entry from 10pm!

In regard to the venue change, the council have decided to bully Fresh on Charles with numerous new restrictions on their late night events, which consequently restricts us from maintaining our Drop dubstep parties for Wednesday dates at Fresh. As much as we love and are so thankful to Fresh for supporting our previous Drop parties, we’ve decided to keep the good vibes rolling for the sake of the fans of what we’re doing. We ain’t giving up that easy!
