PERTHQUAKE
Thanks Headswillroll for the heads up on these tracks! I heard “Lemonade” at Future and was completely unaware of what it was, I asked Alex what track it was because it stood out so much, I just thought it was another track I didn’t know, but it was only up on his myspace the day before. If you like these tracks please buy them!

“Do you think Housemeister would’ve been heart broken?” was a question poised to me shortly before I arrived at Villa. It was one worth considering too. At what was initially advertised as a headline gig for the Berlin based producer/DJ/artist on his first visit to our fine land mass, the “special guest” for the night (whos identity didn’t take a great deal of brain matter to pick) was surely the major selling point for the majority of the capacity crowd and this resulted in the “rebel without a pause” filling the warm up slot. Whatever their reasons for attending, electro lovers were in for a rocking party on yet another music saturated Friday night (go Perth!). Break it down for the full review.
Before you read the press release I’d like to speculate on who the special guest might be, I’m saying Boys Noize. I’m not allowed to know, so I stress that if I’m correct it’s by chance only 
The special guest will be announced on the 2 March, when the ticket price increases by 10 dollars.
The Power! Album Show at Villa is going to be one of those ‘must see’ shows of the year. Housemeister is new to our shores and he will definitely impress – and the special Guest (announced 2 March) will make your ears scream and your feet move! Banging upside the Villa decks will be the Berlin man making muchos noise for boys and girls, Housemeister. Now here’s a rebel without a pause – his sound is techno/electro/acid/punk; it’s dance-mania. After hanging with the Bpitch Control Collective, releasing numerous singles, his first album ‘Who is that Noize’ on his own label and his second album ‘Enlarge your Dose’ on Boys Noize Records.
Housemeister never sleeps – if he’s not in the studio producing, he’s designing the artwork for his label Allyoucanbeat. Watching Housemeister work his sets is something special – his passion to perfection in music is something only a true DJ/producer can pull off. Always experimenting and always thrashing ahead, Housemeister adds the spark to the experience a party needs to make it worthwhile.
Boys Noize. The name alone makes you feel a lil’ tingly. Alongside peers Erol Alkan and Justice, Boys Noize is part of a new hybrid breed of techno artist with influences from the past through a prism to create something fresh, new and exciting enough to send any listener loopy. His latest album ‘Power’ is all thriller, no filler. This release is anything but elevator muzac. His signature sound is riddled throughout, yet you can still hear how far he has come since his debut album ‘Oi Oi Oi’. ‘Power’ is experimental and versatile. The pace has been taken down a notch and the intricacies of his production burst through. This is a new kind of techno encompassing elements of rave and minimal, with a healthy dash of the kind of beats that’d make hip hop producers drool.
