The Interstate Series featuring
Musiq for Pleasure live (QLD)
Created with the combined talents of Daniel Mangan, Brewster B, Keltec, Glenn Bedson and Steve Facai, 'Broken Home' has quickly become one of Melbourne's premier break beat events, and is certainly delivering on its commitment to showcase local talent for the benefit and future growth of the Australian dance music community.
Working tirelessly over the last few months to get the format, vibe and atmosphere of each night right, however, the 'Broken Home' gaggle are at last satisfied that the mix is ready for its' most important ingredient yet … a sprinkle of the finest interstate break's talent that this fair brown land commands.
And so, in keeping with this desire to display the finest local talent, on August 20th, 2004, 'Broken Home' welcomes its' first act from the other side of the Victorian border. In their exclusive, first appearance outside the Sunshine State, Queensland's booty funking live breaks act, Musiq For Pleasure, will help lift the ceiling for one night only.
Born four years ago out of the liking that two nerds had for the musically eclectic and electric, Musiq For Pleasure are now somewhat synonymous with Queensland breaks, having played a string of successful parties and nights including Moon Bar, Monastery and Rics. Currently poised to support The Orb, and having recently toured with Old Des Perez, the nerdy duo from Bris-Vegas' recent success stems straight from the popular release of their funk-off debut album, 'Soul Time' - mixed over two years in Brisbane, London and New York. Representing a smorgasbord of different, broken flavours, 'Soul Time' touches on Jazz, Soul, R&B, Breaks, House and Electro influences, while the first single (for pleasure!) has even recently been included on AKA's 'If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It' compilation. Cool, huh-
So join Musiq For Pleasure LIVE and in the funk with local residents Keltec, Dan Mangan, Brewster B, and supporting guest, Tahl (as the beaver), for a night of sheer pleasure, complete with cool vibes, great atmosphere, LIVE local music, and naturally … boogalicious beats!
