Live Review: Tranter's 'Grasshoppers' Launch Throwback Mix

15 May 2014 | 9:00 am | Alean Penaflor

DJ Tranter whips up this 'Grasshoppers Launch Party' mixtape ahead of next week's opening night!

What do you get when some entertainment heavyweights of the Melbourne circuit sit down and say 'Right, what can we do next to please these live music nuts?'. Well, what you get is Grasshoppers.

A collaborative venture from the folks at Witching Hour Order, Cant Say and Collarts, this monthly shindig is set to fill the music shaped hole in your heart and life by wrapping up upcoming artists and presenting it to you in the form of a Tuesday night, all within the loving embrace of Ding Dong Lounge.

To give you a taste of what awaits a night out at Grasshoppers, local club scene frequenter/legend  DJ TRANTER has nicely fixed up this impressive playlist, just so you can get those limbs a-moving whilst reassessing your dance moves all ahead of the launch party next week. With headline acts courtesy of R&B/funk-lads JAKUBI, producer LONDON and many more familiar DJs that often soundtrack your late night debaucheries, it'll be a bit silly to miss the inaugural event. Don't you think?
