ebb&flo is back again with our fourth show for 2012.
Coming off a memorable night with Mike Callander in April, we are sticking to the theme of showcasing experienced & talented dj’s with a diverse range in music. When it comes to Djing in Melbourne, our next guest has been there & done it. A true icon of the Melbourne electronic community, we are proud to present Dean Millson. A dj, promoter & all round nice guy, Dean has been a regular at prominent Melbourne events for some time now. His in-depth knowledge of electronica will certainly complement the deep, twisted, creative environment that we like to call ebb&flo.

Formed through a shared passion for both similar and divergent artists, labels & genres, ebb&flo is a triumvirate consisting of Jon Beta, Lister Cooray & Nikko. Their mutual understanding of intelligent dance music is reflected by their unanimous vision to establish a bold new event on the Melbourne underground calendar:

ebb&flo

Stemming from their collaborative & creative roots within the Melbourne community, ebb&flo is a unique and exciting opportunity for high profile DJs to create an experience based on the music that has influenced them on a more profound and personal level. Both our resident & guest DJs will receive extended set lengths to allow them the creative licence to showcase the deeper and groovier records they truly love and seek inspiration from.

After successful events to date, ebb&flo has proven it has the calibre to be a long-term quality addition to the electronic music calendar in Melbourne. The recognition of the finer details that help create a positive and comfortable atmosphere sits on top of their list of priorities when it comes to events. Bridging the gap between music that fits in between the bedroom and the dancefloor is at the forefront of ebb&flo’s unique course to groove based electronic music. Within this, ebb&flo provides high profile local DJ’s the creative licence to showcase a different side to their approach to DJ’ing, and this concept is one ebb&flo aims to stand true by.

Dean Millson



While some artists may shy away from being labelled ‘progressive’ these days, Dean Millson is certainly not one of them. From the moment as a ten year old in 1986, when a pre-teenage interest in music (not unlike like most boys) was transformed into a lifetime passion upon accidentally tuning in a hip-hop show on Melbourne’s 3PBS, his appetite and appreciation for forward-thinking sounds has never really wavered.

At a time when Melbourne’s progressive music scene was dominated almost exclusively by the likes of icons such as Sean Quinn, Kasey Taylor, Mark James & Chris Meehan, Dean decided to create a vehicle to give opportunities to a new wave of Melbourne’s up and coming DJ talent. On a very rainy Thursday between Christmas and New Year in 2001 in the side-room of Melbourne’s now infamous Salt Nightclub, Private Function was born. From those small beginnings, PF–as it affectionately became known–grew into a Melbourne institution, supporting Australia’s world-class talent such as Phil K, Luke Chable, Ivan Gough, Vance Musgrove, Rollin Connection (Darius Bassiray & Daniel Banko) and Steve May. Over the next five years, Private Function was also responsible for introducing Melbourne dancefloors to the sounds and talents of a number of international artists–hosting the inaugural Australian tours for the likes of Americans Steve Porter, Habersham along with Dutch ‘trouser’ Matthey Dekay.

As PF’s cemented itself as an integral part of Melbourne’s dance music community, so to did Dean. Following warm-up duties for the likes of Anthony Pappa and Chris Fortier he began to capture a dedicated following, playing a mixture of forward thinking progressive-house and breaks, eventually becoming a welcome addition to most of Melbourne’s bigger festivals and parties–supporting the likes of Sasha, John Digweed, Lee Burridge, Luke Fair, Dave Seaman and Paul Van Dyk–including opening the Global Underground room at the last ever Two Tribes electronic music festival in 2006.
