Competition Time
That's right, once again we are giving away a double pass to an amazing show. This time round, you and a friend could be going to Berghain via Brown Alley, and watching Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock do their thing for 8 hours or more, thanks to our friends at smalltown. All you need to do is head to our Facebook, like the page and the flyer we've uploaded, and cross your fingers. The winner will be drawn Friday 7th of October, so get in quick and stay tuned to find out if you've won.

Donato Dozzy
With Donato Dozzy’s maiden voyage down under (to play in the Victorian outback at Strawberry Fields 2011!!!!) only a few months away he seemed like the perfect topic about which to write a few words for my first contribution to the Public Works Department blog.
It might seem odd to go into detail on someone from afar, and without any new material (i.e. an interview), but I thought that it could be useful to try to articulate what it is about a guy like Dozzy that sees his followers hold him in such high esteem. You’ll have to excuse me for the mixture of styles between unofficial autobiography and baseless opinion. Once I started I found myself covering things I had no intention of dealing with.

Terence Fixmer - Le Terrible EP | EDLX.017
Terence Fixmer
Le Terrible EP
Electric Deluxe
Terence Fixmer has been a regular fixture of the techno world for 10 odd years, although it's his more recent work that has been getting our attention at the Department. His Comedy of Menace LP from last year and the Electric City EP (both on Electric Deluxe) are some seriously good techno, as well as a collaboration with Claudio PRC on Prologue earlier this year really tickling our fancy.

The PWDcast #01
Welcome to the first edition of the PWDcast, a series of mixes put together by some of the best and brightest of the Melbourne scene, and beyond. First up, we have our good friend James Manning from TEA, with an hour and a half of deep techno goodness.
PRG022 - Cio D'Or - Magnetfluss EP Samples
Swoon. Prologue have uploaded samples for a new EP by our favourite lady in techno, Cio D'Or.
PRG022 - Cio D´Or - Magnetfluss EP by Prologue
Cio is amazing, both in terms of her production and DJing ability. Every EP she puts out is on the money, great slabs of deep house and techno, and by the sounds of the samples this is no different. September 22 is the release date, so you can safely expect to hear something off it at our next event
Until then, keep working!

Unbalance - Red | Indeks 026
Unbalance
Red
Indeks Music
Red is the latest offering from Russian techno producer Unbalance, finding a home on the Ukrainian label Indeks Music. This is one that came quite out of leftfield for us, given that the Ukraine is not normally known for techno, and especially techno in this style, although in this case class shines through.
