Geisha Bar

135a James St, Northbridge

11pm – 5am

“It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you. Without a breakbeat to step to”… or something along those lines.

So apart from misquoting Eric B & Rakim, the big news from the FreQualizer camp is Perth’s only dedicated breaks night Sub:Version is back.  And this time they have breaks stalwart and uber producer, Beta, stepping into the booth for his Perth debut.  Not to mention, Perth ex-pat Karl Sav in tow, for what will be his last Australian gig before heading States-side.

Taking over one of Perth’s greatest clubs, Geisha, FreQualizer is in no doubt they can recreate the amazing vibe of the Hedflux gig back in February.

If you’ve experienced the breaks scene at all in the last 10 years, there’s no way you won’t know headliner Beta’s tracks.  He’s known for being the producer breaks DJ’s turn to for rocking a crowd, so dust off your kicks and hit the dancefloor as FreQualizer rolls out the beats that makes their parties a proper breakbeat hoedown.
