Cosy Sounds November 23 Installment

Perlon boffin Will Elder and the globetrotting Amy Jean head TEA’s final deep house infused throw down at our Cosy Sounds nightspot Loop.

Will Elder makes up one part of the Helmet throng, an emerging Melbourne massive garnering a reputable standing through their string of eclec-tronic soirees at Fitzroy’s I Know A Place.

Amy Jean makes the trip across the Tasman from New Zealand and brings with her the "For Her" EP, a collaboration with Nathan H, soon to be released on George Fitzgerald’s ManMakeMusic imprint.

Daniel Filipovic will be sexing up the decks along with head tea-man James Manning.

Loops visual will be supplied by Lost Few.

Listen to Amy Jean get down here.

Kettle’s on at 10pm

TEA and Techno Special: October 5

The three of us return; the ever reliable warm up maestro Daniel Filipovic, myself, James Manning and the enigmatic Nic Tuohey, back in Melbourne from six spoilt months buried in Berlin's clubs, speaker cones and doner kebabs .

Tuohey will be warming up this time around, swapping with Filipovic who will branch out from his usual warm up and deep house sensibilities with a rare excursion into harder territroy with a TEA time closer.

Tuohey boils the kettle from 10:00pm

TEA Cosy Sounds Part II

TEA has been a little quite on the party front this year, with only two events thrown consisting of the same line up. Our first show in January celebrated two years of blogger-sphere life with the ever reliable warm up maestro Daniel Filipovic and Nic Tuohey, affectionally known as the “Dark Horse” thanks to his red-blooded closer at My Aeon.

Testosterone levels dropped for our Cosy Sounds instalment at Loop a few weeks later, once again with the velvety Filipovic and Nic Tuohey, who has since left for five months of hedonism, falafels and cheap rent in Berlin. Check out his recent interview with Roman Lindau for TEA below.

We break a five month TEA party drought at Loop Friday, August 17 with Cosy Sounds Part II. Cemented to the bill as always is Daniel “Swayze” Filipovic and James Manning, with the introduction of Phaon Phipat - Melbourne’s diamond in the rough.

I was fortunate enough to meet Phipat at a recent Levon Vincent gig here in Melbourne and hearing his vinyl only Space Odyssey 900 mix was like drinking a refreshing brew of peppermint tea.

By the sounds of Phaon Phipat’s mixes (his most recent 001 mix above), the young Melbournian’s taste in deep house rivals that of the lab coat German producers making it and we look forward to having him warm Loop for the first time.

Entry is free and records rotate at 10:00pm.

TEA Gets Cosy at Loop

TEA’s second birthday saw My Aeon elevated by sets from Daniel Filipovic and Nic Tuohey, as well as the nights celebrant James Manning. TEA announces its second party for the year and our first evening at Loop for 2012 with our Cosy Sounds instalment on March 23rd.

TEA has invited back our two most trusted DJs in the honourable Daniel Filipovic and Nic Tuohey. Alongside James Manning the three will nestle in for a night focused on sounding the deeper strands house music and dub laden riddums.

Entry is free and the first record drops at 10:00pm.

TEA Presents Mic Newman 7/05/11

Filthy Forever - Mic Newman [Freerange Records] by Mic Newman

TEA's fourth party of 2011 and first party at our spiritual home Cuckoo Bar takes place May 7th. TEA will be dunking Melbourne's Fantastic Man Mic Newman in to a warm Cuckoo for a night of clicks, cuts and grooves.

Mic Newman is another member of Melbourne’s increasingly impressive and influential deep house mafia. He’s already a well known name for tech house heads, with releases on Dirt Crew and 8bit among others. A couple of solid 12″s on Tsuba in 2010 continued his shift to the deeper end of the spectrum and has given him a new set of admirers, most notably Runaway with their remix of “Live East” from his Live East Die Young EP from 2020 Vision's new sub label FINA.

TEA will be supported on the night by our favourite double act the Carter Bros and TEA's resident James Manning.
