After a MASSIVE night in August which saw a full club treated to an evening packed full of audio visual treats, this October sees the Prognosis crew head back to Loop to write the next chapter in their musical journey. A night not to be missed, the crew is once again set to explore the full spectrum of the progressive genre.

Prognosis welcomes back Darkbeat stalwart and Mink resident, Dave Juric, to lay down a fine selection of tunes from a genre that has long been aligned closely with the Melbourne scene. Playing alongside Prognosis resident J-Slyde, the two aficionados will delve deep into their collections to serve up a progressive breaks feast. Playing back-to-back, the two will take a look back at some of the tunes and artists that helped build the once thriving scene and acted as a catalyst in putting Melbourne on the global progressive map.

Joining them on the night is progressive house wunderkind Rysh Paprota whose highly acclaimed production and remix skills have seen him in high demand. Producer, DJ and front man of Budgie Collective online radio station, Square Eyes will be down to treat us to a showcase of his sound. Also along for the ride is Alex Butler who will be channeling the dusty dance-floors of the festival world as he packs a bag-load of tougher progressive weapons and gets ready set to unleash some musical mayhem.

Of course, no Prognosis event would be complete without the musical stylings of resident tune addicts Simon Murphy and Aaron Static, who will once again treat their audience to a captivating blend of the finest tunes on offer. Captivating crowds at some of Australia’s most highly regarded events with his artistic wizardry, vdmo Kstati is set to lay down the visual aspect of the night.

Jamie Stevens (Chameleon Records)

Jamie’s distinctive “trademark sound”, his own take on techno and house, is one that most people find hard to pigeonhole. And he wouldn’t want it any other way.

With 15 years in the business, Jamie still maintains an uncompromising approach to production and his music career in general, a career in which he has achieved an amazing level of critical and commercial success. As one of Australia’s most talented and sought after music producers, he has proven his skill in professional sound design, music scores for film and contemporary dance music.

As the founding member of ‘Infusion’, Jamie has received two ARIA awards (the highest accolade given in the Australian music industry) and renowned website ‘Resident Advisor’ ranked their 2005 studio effort “Six Feet Above Yesterday” as the 32nd best electronic album of the decade. With this much-loved live outfit, he’s left his mark around the globe, headlining some of the biggest and most respected clubs including; Fabric- London, Pacha – Buenos Aires, Womb- Tokyo and festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella, Roskilde and Creamfields in Moscow, Brazil, UK and Argentina.

Set to release his own exciting EP on Melbourne’s Chameleon Recordings, Jamie’s characteristically quirky percussive and bass-heavy sound will join his long list of recognised remixes for Booka Shade, John Digweed), Antix, D.Ramirez, Deepchild and Chris Fortier amongst a host of others and have earned praise from the biggest names in the industry including contemporary stalwarts Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Adam Beyer, Danny Howells and Thomas Schumacher. These finely tuned club remixes appear regularly on seminal radio shows BBC1′s ‘Essential Mix’ and John Digweed’s ‘Transitions’.

Always wanting to create those special moments in the peaks and the plateaus, Jamie’s DJ performances are laced with his own specially produced re-edits, tools and loops. These sets are best described as an hyper-energetic expression of his personality, always charged with all-important tension and atmosphere.

Andrew Till (Sub Records)

With a DJ career spanning almost twenty years, Andrew Till has seen more genres and styles come and go than most of us can name. Starting out in the late 1980′s, he became known for fusing together many elements of electronic and experimental music. Via techno, trance, ambient, acid house, industrial, and psychedelic he is synonymous with an eclectic, varied spectrum of sound.

As one of pivotal forces behind the Melbourne electronic music community, he established Melbourne’s first dedicated underground electronic label Psy-Harmonics in 1992 with Ollie Olsen, which now has over 70 releases and a huge international following. Over the last few
years Andrew has set up two more record labels, Sub label, for the more trance/dance orientated sounds and Cyan Music for ambient chill out releases.

As well as regularly Djing around Australia, Andrew has been a regular on the international circuit over the last fifteen years with tours to places including; Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, London, Sweden, Helsinki, Denmark, New Zealand, Germany, Greece, Switzerland, South Africa also including numerous gigs within Japan from the largest festivals & nightclubs, to the most intimate indoor and outdoor venues.
Andrew is one DJ that isn’t afraid to experiment with new sounds and is forever pushing boundaries, this has earned him respect worldwide.

Crimemaster Gogo

My set is a story of an adventure, set in a sinister forest in forever mountains, right next to a beach. Faithful companions, a snake in the sleeve, flutterbyes and twenty five monkeys. Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, our protagonist makes a life altering choice and learns an important lesson; it’s all very exciting! Something for everyone…

It is freedom, it is love and it is of all the interesting people who joined me on this mission. My set is this story, it is my psychedelic journey written in sound.

Suseri (DXM)

My magical music journey started 9 years ago with a life changing experience, a DJ made me realize the power of expression that music can offer and everything changed forever. I knew this is what I wanted to do, to be able to share my love and energy for music with the world. Everything felt right since then. I moved to Australia for this reason and never looked back. I am DJ Suseri, and I love music. I love to share my experiences and the different realities it helps to create. Music brings an uncontainable joy, come share that high and make that connection with me on the dancefloor.

Bulgaria is no longer known for just feta cheese and yogurt!

Hijacking dance floors across Melbourne since 2006, Emil; the vulgar Bulgarian sensation…

A unique ability to foresee future trends in electronic music has rendered him a visionary, keeping HiJacker a step ahead of the usual scene.

With tireless efforts and unrelenting enthusiasm, Hijacker and his pet project, DXM, have played a significant role in shaping Melbourne’s underground techno culture.

HiJacker’s passion for the genre is realised on the decks to deliver a super charged, high impact and deep techno journey with a maximum dance quotient.

Never half-assed, a HiJacker set brings together years of international experience, is always inspiring and a memorable music event.

Hot on the heels of their debut event the Prognosis krew are gearing up for their second chapter back at Loop. Smashing the venue sideways and showing Melbourne that there’s a new team on the scene, their first event quite simply, WENT OFF! Partying till the early morn the krew had beats bumping, beers chugging, visuals projecting, lasers lasering and the crowd dancing till close of venue at 5am… And this time round is set to be of no exception!

Welcoming back to the decks we have Aaron Static. For those that witnessed his set at our last event, you’ll know exactly why we’ve decided to invite him back – those that were not, all you need to know is shit got lively! Progasms were on the menu and the man was not shy in dishing them out!

Accompanying Static, we’ve been lucky enough to secure the dynamic duo that are Punkz On Junk. Wowing Australian crowds and bush doofers alike these boys know how to rock and will be bringing their unique attitude-driven Prog sound to the decks with force!

Visual duties for the night will be handled by the one and only vdmo Kstati. A visual maestro when it comes to VJing there’s a large chance you’ve already seen this man perform without even knowing it. Traveling the country for the last few years Kstati has visually supported some of the largest artists in the world and the best festivals and club nights around Australia. From D-Nox to Nick Skitz, Paul Van Dyk to Infected Mushroom, you name em and there’s a huge chance the man has dropped his visual mark upon them!

More info: http://www.vdmokstati.com/

Following on we’ll also have Darko providing his unique flavour of dark and twisted techno and tech-house along with residents J-Slyde and Simon Murphy who are guaranteed to bring nothing but quality beats to the table.

The newest chapter in forward thinking night-life is here. If like your quality electronic music… then the only prognosis is Prognosis!
