The 13th of March marks another public holiday eve and this only means one things on the minds of all the Tramp lovers out there; the 23rd edition of 'Harlot House' @ Tramp Bar Melbourne.
If you've never been to Tramp before.. well.. the old saying "If you remember The Preston, you were never really there" definitely applies to this venue. It's underground in a basement on King Street and is not for the faint hearted.
*Note: If this is like any previous Harlot House then it is a must to pre-purchase tickets ($20)

Harlot House as always has a massive line up:
 |
| Spacey Space |
Spacey Space started playing records professionally in 1993 at a weekly gig called ‘Bud Dub Loves Loops’ at Lounge in Melbourne’s CBD. The night was a chilled, mid-week affair where you could hear Detroit techno, arty electronica, ambient dub and ancient Jamaican reggae mixed up with film scores, rap music and electro funk. ‘Bud Dub’ enjoyed cruisey success for about a year but Spacey was itching to get the floor moving, so he got some decks, learned to mix and the rest is Dance Music History.
First parties, then clubs, soon the word got out and Spacey was hosting his own radio show Space Station on the original Kiss 90FM. Space Station allowed him to play tracks that were too deep or too twisted for the dance floor and the experimental programming attracted a loyal cult following. The magic lasted four years and recorded tapes of the show are now considered collectables - a fact reflected by the prices they reach when auctioned on e-bay.
Since this time, Spacey Space has played with countless local and international DJs and bands and at scores of parties. Gigs include Earthcore, Big Day Out Boiler Room, Welcome 2000 and ongoing guest spots at parties by Bamboozled, Deceptacon, No Vacancy, Mischief and various Future Entertainment events.
A regular on the Melbourne club scene, Spacey rocks his current residencies at Revolver Upstairs on Sunday mornings and Sunday nights, and Tramp on Friday nights, plus regular quest spots at Cushion Lounge, Alumbra, 3rd Class, Mixed Messages, Fix Jam, Googie Nights and Billboard. Needless to say the invites just keep coming, with occasional dust ups between rival clubs vying for Spacey’s sweet sounds.
Always sourcing fresh material, Spacey specialises in dropping loads of tough Electro, selected Mash-ups and R’N’B bootlegs, bits of Good House and a smattering of classics from the vaults. Like a siren of the sea or a modern day Pied Piper, Spacey fills the floor. Listeners dance as though possessed, only stopping when, overcome by the power of Spacey’s set, they stand still and weep.
