The Harem @ Geisha (OPENING NIGHT)

The Harem is a new venture in electronic dance music, spawned out of the success of 2009’s “Sauce” nights.This year we’ve altered the formula slightly and are proud to present a new concept in friday night clubbing.

What to expect?

1) Upfront CLUB tracks - quality well produced - House, Garage, Progressive & Techno in all its forms.

2) A blend of fresh & classic cuts from across the Electronic spectrum, from

Swedish house mafia to SweetnCandy, Ben Klock to Brodinski,

Mark Knight to Maetrik, Deepgroove to Dubfire, just pure quality.

2) Regular servings of Deep & Progressive tunes, with a side of Epic!

Who,When,Where,Why?

A selection of Perths premier DJ's, given creative freedom to produce a

set that reflects there unique flavour.Minimal Back2Back sets, our DJs focus on track selection and old school beatmatching ;P

Progress Inn (Obstacles / Baroque / Catwalk)

Nathan Francis (Rouge)

Cam Duff (Hierarchy)

Bart Skils & Anton Pieete

While on my travels i was lucky enough to meet and catch Bart Skils & Anton Pieete play b2b at club paradise in Amsterdam. The club was previously a church, which many of the original features still remain. After witnessing these two smash out an energetic tech house set, Chris Liebing bought it hope with a smooth techno set, a truly amazing night!!

2 hour set @ Kanya Beach Club IBIZA

Whilst traveling through Europe I was lucky enough to play a 2 hour set at Kanya Beach club in IBIZA. Playing on the island was an experience like no other, I was lucky enough to share this experience with my man Ghassan as we played B2B for the 2 hours. Mixing some deep and funky tech tunes whilst overlooking San An bay will be something I will remember for a long time!!

Eddie @ Villa WOW

efore the doors were even open there was already a line of people waiting to get tickets to the show, people were lining up just before 9 to secure there tickets as industries and VIP had already SOLD OUT.

Doors opened at 10 and within 20 mins of being open the dance floor had already built to a healthy number. Myself and Jay V started the night off with a nice mix of progressive house which seemed to get everyone in Villa moving!! 

Jason Creek and Kenny L followed and both played awesome support slots, but the moment Eddie jumped behind the decks the place erupted with people chanting "EDDIE, EDDIE, EDDIE". His tricks on the decks are nothing short of amazing and it is easy to see why he is so in demand. All in all an amazing night, well done to Strike3 for all the hard work in putting this together.
