The Forty Five Kings Present Special Guest Deejay Katch on Saturday 29 August 2026 & Just Announced DL from Seven Sails Records (Adelaide) Joins The Line Up!!!

Hi All, it is my great pleasure to announce the lineup for the next Forty Five Kings Party at Music Room Melbourne on Saturday 29 August 2026.

This will be our 24th Party at Music Room Melbourne and I am super happy to have the Brisbane and @resindogs dj and producer legend, @deejaykatch returning to Melbourne for a 3rd time to play this party from 12-3am!!!

Making her debut and opening the party from 5-7pm will be @shanitavice, coming in strong from Geelong with a bag of classic 7” Vinyl treats.

On the bill and playing from 7-9pm, I am pleased to once again be hosting Brisbane implant, dope dj, great producer and one half of the @takefingz record label with Deejay Katch, @djtobygee who will be joining us for his 2nd visit to Music Room and our party.

I am also really happy that my good mate, dope dj, producer, and @sevensails_records Records scratch bandit DL @the__dl from Adelaide, SA who will be joining us from 9-10pm. This is his 2nd visit to this party and last time he slayed it!

As the party host I will be playing from 10pm - 12am.

As always all are welcome, it’s Free Entry and we go everywhere, except the cheese factory in the pursuit of a dancefloor!

Be warned this will be packed from beginning to end, so if you want to get in, come early, grab a spot and prepare to dance...

‘Superstudio’ by Chris Bass on Bandcamp & Streaming.
.
Originally slated for what became my debut LP ‘Monster’ this track is a shout to the era where I learned studio production from some of ADL’s audio-nerd heavyweights and the trials & tribulations (of which there were many) of production then versus production now. Some nods to non-hip-hop influences as well as punk & metal are part of it all. Turntables by @the__dl

Life as a Mushroom is live on Bandcamp and streaming.
@the__dl on Turntables as per. I played some live drum kit on this one which really made the track so thanks to my assistant engineers @laurakenzie , @jackson.kane108 , @discobusiness and Jamie Howe.
.
Originally inspired by the 70s poster “I must be a mushroom because they keep me in the dark and feed me nothing but BS” it became about thriving despite the odds and limited resources.
.
It’s fifth Chris Bass release for 2025 (plus a collab w. @dantheunderdog on SpeakEasy) - low output for me. I have been making music, but away from socials and BS - challenging year adapting to a new job and Dad gone but I’m slowly getting back into create-mode
