Perth has yet another midweek night to break up the monotony of the working week. It’s called Therapy and is held at The White Sands Tavern every Thursday night. The music policy consists of Breaks, Tech-House and Progressive style tunes. It’s a great way to check out the excellent talent amongst our upcoming local DJ’s whilst chilling out having a quiet drink. The music is at a comfortable level, neither too soft or too loud, whereby you can enjoy a conversation with ease.

On this particular Thursday that I decided to venture down, the line up consisted of one hour sets by local DJ’s Kronik, Jon Noonan, Ash and Slade. Like many other local nights that are just starting out, there wasn’t much of an attendance, however those that had come down were into the music and enjoying themselves thoroughly.

First up on the decks was Kronik who rocked the room with his selection of funky breaks. With an hour to work with, Kronik moved his set between a couple of genres, always maintaining the funky edge he initially started out with. Next up was Jon Noonan who toned down the funk and introduced a more progressive sounding set. For the next hour, he steadily built up his progressive set which was very enjoyable to sit and listen to over drinks.

Ash then took to the decks and picked up the tempo a little with his blend of more tech flavoured style progressive tunes, which complemented the previous set very nicely. He then kept it on this level for the next hour, mixing tech house with progressive very nicely. Last up was Slade who immediately got stuck into some awesome progressive tunes, going from funky, to more minimal sounding but always keeping it rocking. Each mix was so technically smooth, it was a pleasure to listen to.

Therapy is a great way to ease away the stresses and mediocrity of the working week and slip into weekend mode in time for Friday. With a guarantee of quality music all night as well as excellent drink prices, Therapy provided me with everything I was looking for out of this particular Thursday night. Definitely one worth checking out!

Therapy is on every Thursday night at the Breakers Bar section of The White Sands Hotel in Scarborough running from 8pm-12am.
