Flying the flag for visiting International House and Techno acts in Australia, Eat The Beat has fast become an underground institution and an essential night out for Melbourne. With its minimal dark theme, and distinctive Jurassic laser beam booths found at their current haven, ‘New ‘Guernica’, DMC recently took a seat at the table and grabbed a few words with head chef Matteo Belcore…
Why Eat The Beat?
What makes ETB unique from all the other events that happen across Australia?
Who have been your favourite international guests to host?
All our special guests have been in some way ‘special’ as the name suggests, they all bring something unique to our stage and most of them left a mark in our brand history! However after celebrating 2 anniversaries with him I can say that PACO OSUNA has been someone really special, representing our brand both in music style and as a personality! I feel we have created a great connection, both business wise and on a personal level!
As well as embracing visiting artists from overseas, you have strong team of residents and support local artists too which is great to see, please tell us about your key residents?
Mind Dimension – Ben Sterling remix
El Sueno – Dennis Cruz
Eli Brown – Make you freak
Wildchild – Power to the people
What are your future goals and plans for the party?
For my brand and for the party I am planning to take our events to the next level with the idea of hopefully being able to present a proper Eat The Beat Festival becoming a closer dream and my focus every day! Also, we are working constantly towards taking Eat The Beat to events and showcases outside Australia and worldwide!
Can you please tell us one crazy story from history of Eat The Beat, that perhaps no-one has yet heard?
At Eat The Beat we have partied every single weekend for 6 years, so it’s safe to say we have countless crazy and epic memories. The one that stands out is when a few years ago we had the idea of playing a DJ set in a hot air balloon. We went to spend the night in a cottage In the countryside and in the early morning we took off with the balloon and before we knew it, we were partying while floating in the sky during the early sunset hours, that was magical.
Any final shouts or words?
We hope to be able to connect people with our events and music always, locally and internationally! Music is the answer!
