Out of Focus are back once again to exercise the precariously balanced love for party and passion, the music and the need to experience it in a sweaty basement. This time we examine the interconnectedness between seemingly contrary, yet equally impressive forces; Sven Weisemann and Basic Soul Unit.

SVEN WEISEMANN // Mojuba // GER

Composer/musician/producer/DJ. Sven’s eclectic taste and talents span not only genres but musical styles. A trained classical and jazz composer Sven’s passion for music is evident. Whether it’s his down tempo groove orientated deep house or bass heavy techno, Sven is a dedicated musician whose performance will be one to remember.

BASIC SOUL UNIT (LIVE) // Dolly, Mathematics // CAN

Having released his distinctive sound on an array of some of the most sought after labels the world over, 10 years down the track Basic Soul Unit continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a cutting edge electronic musician and performer. It is with huge excitement that the Unit will be coming down under to perform his one-of-a-kind live set, armed to the teeth with heavy hardware. Basic Soul Unit is known for his atypical acid-house and techno live sets which are harmoniously fused with just the right amount of smokey, atmospheric breathers.

Quality. BSU is amazeballs.

Wow...Sven Weisemann and Basic Soul Unit together is massive.

I've been a big Weisemann fan for quite a while now (since his infamous RA mix).

Love his phat, deep and dubbed out vibes. This would be my favourite:

I wasn't aware that BSU played live. I'm intrigued to hear how he puts it all together...lots of stomping funk.

Basic Soul Unit - enough said really BEAST!!!

nice little write up of OOF and this upcoming show ::: http://www.bassmusicmelbourne.com/?p=368

Let's get some sven trips in sound up in here shall we,, as that is surely what they are.

The man is definitely responsible for some seriously emotionally evocative journeys, picking a favourite gets difficult...


If you can get your hands on this mix cd he did, it is certainly well worth it,
Sven Weisemann ‎– Groove CD #119/N°28



If not there are still a plethora of them floating around on soundcloud, these be some of my favourites...


Sven Weisemann - Desolation Mix



Sven Weisemann Live at Betalounge, Hamburg



Sven Weisemann - Play FM





Then with BSU providing the grunt and grind, this promises to be a night of serious proportions.

Such a ridiculous line up. You guys are on fire seriously!!

That Desolation mix is awesome.

basic soul unit is making his maiden voyage across the seas with an arsenal of hardware not too dissimilar to this... all for the love of music whilst making us dance. throw sven weisemann/Desolate into the mix and the fact you can get down to both of them (plus some mighty fine locals) for 15 clams and we've got ourselves a pretty nice looking shin-dig coming up.

JULY 20 YO! KEEP IT OOF!

Cant wait to see basic soul!

I'm so over waiting for this. Apparently BSU smashed the HAHA gig up here, though I was poorly and am unable to verify in person. Are we there yet?

Basic Soul Unit did destroy Sydney from all reports. 5 days to go peeps. don't miss out on seeing these two unique artists for the first time in melbourne... this'll be one they remember.

the final lap.

I tried to PM for a $20 but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Any of y'all get any left? Drop me a PM when you get chance.

Thanks

Cheers!

Very much looking forward to this.

There is much steam that needs to be blown off.

Wicked set upped by Kana broadcast for BSU...

http://okkana.com/2012/07/kana-broad...sic-soul-unit/

Enjoy the gig kids, should be a rip snorter.

Will be at this.

I assume there will be some tickets on the door?....given the large amount of parties on tomorrow eve.

Got back early from a trip around Australia for this. Bring on tomorrow night already!

Over 4 Hours Of International Goodness!! Tonights The Night Peeps!


Get Down Early As The First International Is Not To Be Missed And Is On Early!!



party Time!

Pretty cool party.

Basic soul unit destroyed....a lot more so than Sven.

That was some party. Sven is such a good DJ, super tight mixes and so much energy. Spewing I couldn't hang around for BSU. Bring on Steffi in September.

sven was playing some killer tunes on RRR yesterday. shame i missed it last night but glad to hear it went well.

and steffi? wooo!

Sven murdered it last night.

Like patty said, very, very good DJ.

I saw the first bit of BSU before I had to leave and he was sounding excellent.



Edit: should have added that it was a great night all round.

Is Kris Wadsworth on your radar at all? He strikes me as an artist that would suit the musical direction of these nights perfectly.

Damn, shame you guys left before BSU! That was tremendous really, sorry to rub it in lol.

Any Recording??? I so hope so.

Sven was good for sure...but just cant get over BSU. Old school sounding synths samples with massive groove percussion lines all mixed live faultlessly, heaps of acid sounds. Pretty certain he dropped Virgo mood.

They all went back 2 back for the last hr or so with Louis dropping a few mammoth bombs in there too, he also is a great local talent.

thanks for the response guys, that was the funnest party i've been to in a long time. both artists destroyed the club in their own right.

bruno, KW has been on our radar for ages. that low slung cheeky house he makes and plays would go down a treat with us n our punters. maybe next year as this year is pretty much full up.


See ya'll when steffi brings it.


PEACE~!

That was brilliant fun. Great work.

feeling the lurve. great feedback from everyone. sven and bsu had an exceptionally great time. loved the crowd. mad love to the boys holding it down in the back room.

LETS DO IT ALL AGAIN FOR STEFFI!!!!

That was of the hook! Thanks to everyone that came down and made that such a special night.

Hos is the sound system at Liberty Social these days?? I havent been back there for years.

The sound is good.

Fuck this party was good, Sven absolutely nailed it, built the set perfectly and continually pushed the envelope with adventourus and ambitious mixes. A proper dj.

2 from 2 for out of focus.

Fantastic party.. thought Sven was excellent and BSU both live and spinning was superb. Tight mixing and solid tunes all night! Well done OOF.

PS - Patrice Scott please!!

came down from sydney, was well impressed! had a mad night. sven killed it. though maybe BSU should've played before sven. but he was real good nonetheless
