Perth has a rapidly growing scene of young and exciting electronic producers in the field of disco/house/boogie/good times and Perthquake is doing everything it can to get them out to anyone looking for some good tunes to get their groove on. With that in mind it’s time for the third installment of Maybe Dancing Will Help, coming to you once again from the warm surrounds of the Norfolk Basement on Friday 3rd September. It’s a night that started out as a one-off, but the response gets warmer each time; first for nu-disco band on-the-rise Tabularaza and then disco/house maestro Pils. We are beginning to feel a duty to help people kick their Friday’s off in the funnest way possible once a month.
This edition features the jazz-tastic stylings of Bastian’s Happy Flight, better known to some as FKN MIDAS, with help from his good friend Jack Doepel (BOOM! BAP! POW!) on the saxophone. Midas is currently working on expanding his own productions into a full live-band setup, but to give a taste of what to expect will be combining forces with Doepel to get some jazz up all in your sax. Anyone who has seen these two spinning their magic together will know it’s a guaranteed good time disco-boogie-funk extravaganza not to be missed.
Support on the night comes from some of the sharpest DJs in the disco toolbox, with Perthquake proud to announce Sleepyhead and Friend down for their first ever MDWH, and of course your hosts for the evening, Bouncy Castles.
Hey Perth people, just a quick introduction before i get started. My name is Rhaine aka Audageous and i have taken over the reins here at Perthquake to help get you into the mood for the weekend by bringing you the Friday afternoon MixUp. Consisting of your weekly DJ fix coming from a variety of talented artists around Perth playing a variety of different genres, keeping it fresh. The first Friday of every month will showcase a more established artist but every other Friday will be filled by anything that gets you moving for the weekend, be it a killer live set from one of P-town’s favourite nightspots or just a smooth bedroom mix from a young up and comer. This post promises to bring you everything that’s good about the Perth DJ scene.
Enough Jibber Jabber for the time being. This weeks DJ set i had the pleasure of hearing live at Maybe Dancing Will Help at the Norfolk Basement.

Perthquake.com.au presents the second Maybe Dancing Will Help feat. Pils
After the success of the first Maybe Dancing Will Help (feat. Tabularaza) we’ve decided to throw down installment number two. The packed dance floor, happy people and great music made us realise we were going to have to throw another party. So here we are again, this time The Norfolk Basement welcomes the disco-house styling of Pils (http://soundcloud.com/pi…ls/).
We’re eager to show Perth punters the depth of talent that exists in our hometown. We’re handpicking the best Perth artists pushing disco-house into the hearts of dance music appreciators. I can guarantee Maybe Dancing Will Help won’t ever disappoint.
Pils is a Perth based producer, was a Run Rabbit Run resident and is a super smooth dj. He doesn’t just limit himself to disco-house, he’s also been pushing dubstep and drum&bass tracks into Perth’s electronic music scene. Since he began producing he’s created more of a buzz than a naked man with a gun. It’s easy to see why when you hit up his soundcloud and have a listen to White Rabbit and Mr Shuffles Funk. Billboards all over the country will soon cotton on to the phenomenon… of Pils. I mean who doesn’t want to begin their weekend with a bang?
Support will be provided by the always-impressive Black Swan (Run Rabbit Run), music history lesson Hippo Camp (Warm Kitten) and party starters Bouncy Castles (Perthquake).
When you’re in a pit of winter despair put your dancing shoes on, Maybe Dancing Will Help.
Friday night gave a fresh start to the Perth music scene. We’ve created a great foundation to the Perth disco-house scene. Perthquake, Warm Kitten and Scenic pulled together to create one hell of fun night. Filled with great music from great djs and of course Tabularaza. Tabularaza are easily Perth’s hottest new dance act. Their catchy beats and perfectly placed synth layers make for very easy listening, even if you’re not a dance music fan. Full review after the jump…
