Taste testing with DJ Ides
[Written by Nik Sproal 2007]
A
truly memorable meal is more than just satisfying your hunger, it’s a dining
experience that lingers in our psyche, one that is savoured and exists as a
point of happiness for those that shared the experience.
Witness the unwavering smiles as you fondly reminisce over the subtle mix of ingredients and clever fusion of flavours, dished up in a precise and considered manner that hints at the years of experience, practice and dedication it takes to master such a simple, yet complex artform.
If you find your musical mouth watering and can’t quite satisfying that craving for something memorable, then grab the phone, book a table and prepare yourself for a feast of ear-filling and perception-altering proportions with DJ Ides. Sit back, jump up, get down and be tantalisingly tempted as Ides concocts a simmering sonic stew of musical mayhem that showcases her vast melting pot of influences.
Drawing together ingredients as diverse as electro, nu-skool breaks, hip hop, Florida electro-breaks, big beat, neo-lounge grooves, Miami bass and German industrial techno, DJ Ides cooks up a truly unique genre-bending, funk-fuelled menu that is all her own. Witnessing Ides seamlessly meld together a diverse, yet perfectly cohesive set to a packed dancefloor is a must-witness treat for any self-respecting musical connoisseur.
Having sampled, hosted, tasted or stirred nearly every major beat-infused shindig in Melbourne over the last 10 years, Ides has her assured fingers in a number of party pies around town. Her dedication to throwing the best underground parties through Got Funk? has sated many a hungry punters aural appetite and has built her a five star reputation.
Next time you find yourself yearning for that midnight electronic feast, give yourself a true treat and indulge in a generous serving of DJ Ides. No artificial flavours guaranteed.
