et the Big Beat move your feet Friday, June 5th at The Loading Dock! Da Beatnik X MBM present an all-vinyl night of funky drums, dubby bass, 90’s electronics, acid house, breakbeat and beyond! Featuring: The Grouch DJ (São Paulo) Metallix!! (DFW) Jay Berd (ATX Designer Beatnik (ATX) Our special guest for the evening is The Grouch DJ (São Paulo). His sets are an amalgamation of years spent digging through the furthest corners of Brazil, Eastern Europe, and North America. Focused purely on sound over rarity, every set is built from records personally discovered on his travels. From Brazilian electro and obscure percussion to Chicago house and global oddities, his selections move freely between genres but always stay full of feeling. Making the trip down from Dallas-Fort Worth, Metallix!! brings a sweat-soaked blend of x-rated Miami bass, funky electro, techno heaters, and raw party energy. If you like your dance floors loose, loud, and moving wall to wall, don’t miss this one. Austin favorite Jay Berd, aka Speaker Man, is stepping away from mastering records and running sound for some of the city’s best parties to throw down at The Loading Dock. Known for finely tuned dance floors, perfectly balanced systems, and deep knowledge of music made for movement, expect a set built to lock you in all night. Opening the night is Designer Beatnik, local big beat record funkatik and longtime lover of acid-drenched dance music. Expect dubby grooves, strange turns, chunky breaks, and a full arc of sounds setting the tone for the evening ahead.
