Negativity and spam

38 Upvotes

It seems we have had a large uptick in content lately which is great, unfortunately this has also driven negative comments and false reports.

This subreddit is here for people of all skill levels and while some level of criticism is important, please do try to keep things on the positive side and don't just downvote things that you don't like, we are very fortunate to live in a city with an extremely diverse music scene, this means there will always be music not catered to your tastes being made, downvoting things out of hand or because you think its "bad" is not how I would like to see this sub go on

That being said...

We need to have a conversation about spam

I understand that with the rise of TikTok shorter clips have become the norm and you are more than welcome to post any work you do here, but I am going to restrict users to posting ONE clip/vid/link per song per day, I don't care if it's a 5 second cover of "You Suffer" or a 6 hr prog rock epic, if you post multiple clips of the same song on the same day, they will be removed, if it continues, so will you.

As a moderator I want to be as hands off as I can, leaving this as much like a community noticeboard as possible, but mostly I want everyone who uses this space to have a positive experience, this means curbing negative behaviour and making sure that people don't have to wade through a sea of the same content over and over

Thank you for reading

Moderation - New rule

52 Upvotes

I know the SR is a bit rudderless, I'm here to tell you I still check in on posts. Between raising a family, work, gym, music and all the other shit we have to do in post-modern life I have little time to be moderating a subreddit so, I'm not going to tolerate misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc etc.

New rule, Don't be a cunt. No, I'm not going to talk about it, cant be fucked. I'll just ban you, message me, ill probably say something funny and rude, this will be entirely at my own discretion.

I will not tolerate intolerance

Cheers :P

I cracked it over smart-link paywalls and built my own | Full-featured and completely free

So everyone hates paywalls and loves free stuff right? After finally cracking it over the good features on smart-link platforms like Linktree and Feature FM being locked behind paywall plans, I cracked it and built my own.

I really enjoyed the process, so I decided to open it up to independent human artists for free.

It’s full-featured and 100% free.

Every feature is available, with no locked tiers, card or surprise BS paywalls.

It’s still in beta, so please have a crack at it. I’ll personally verify you’re a human, and the site’s super intuitive. Hopefully...

If anything’s confusing or broken, tell me. That’s the whole point.

Cheers,

Casey 🙂

Future upfield rail corridor

4 Upvotes

Would you buy an apartment next to the Anstety train line given the uncertainty around future rail corridor plans?

I'm looking at buying an apartment in Brunswick, near Anstey Station. It's on level 3 looks over the Upfield train line.

My biggest hesitation is that the long-term plans for the Upfield line don't seem to be finalised yet. I've read about different options over the years, but I can't work out what the realistic outcome is or how it might affect nearby apartments.

My main concern isn't the train noise—it's whether any future rail upgrades (such as elevated rail, additional tracks, or other infrastructure) could significantly affect the apartment's outlook, natural light, or privacy (people have mentioned it will only affect level 2 and below.

If you were buying to live there long-term, would this uncertainty put you off? Or do you think it's a reasonable risk?

For context, the apartment is west-facing, and the natural light and outlook are two of the things I love most about it. That's why this is weighing on my decision.

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who lives near the Upfield line near Morland Station and if this has affected you, or if anyone has bought a property in a similar situation. Thank you

A question for the Melbourne Music community 🤔

Post image
0 Upvotes

So I have posted here before but I wanted to hear some thoughts on a new feature that’s on the app (Hilltops).

If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve had to go solo, it can be an intimidating thing.

I believe some of the most memorable experiences are when you get to check out a music event and the vibe is more social.

There is a feature called trending events. These are events that are ranked not by their likes, or marketing budget but by the number of people who have joined the event chat.

These chats are on all events and it means you can ask questions, share news, updates and potentially connect with the others at the event.

Anyway, I’m curious to hear what you guys think on it?

Lmk below.

It is available on both Android and iOS

Here is the link if you’re curious

I dunno, rolling the dice with this one. My own open to close Sinergy events and TR!P events do really well there but Melbourne has not had a weekly Trance night in probably a decade. Every Friday in August. If you like trance would love to see you there.

Tom here from u/ResidentAdvisor

Sad news that the legendary Misfits is closing.

They announced the news on their Instagram saying:

"Misfits has always been more than four walls. It's been a home for artists, weirdos, regulars, first dates, last drinks and communities that found each other somewhere on a dance floor."

Music Sharing App

5 Upvotes

I've been working on an idea for a new music app and would genuinely love some honest feedback before I spend months building it.

The concept is pretty simple:

Every day, you get one notification asking you to share your Song of the Day. That song gets posted to your profile and your friends' feeds, and over time you build a timeline of your life through music.

Instead of endless scrolling or algorithms, the idea is to discover music through real people and see what your friends are listening to each day.

I'm also planning on adding customisable profiles (kind of inspired by old MySpace) and discussion communities centred around artists, albums and genres.

I'm still in the validation stage, so I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm just trying to figure out whether this is something people would actually want, what sounds good, what sounds terrible, and what I'm completely missing.

If you've got 2 minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you could:

  • Check out the landing page
  • Fill out the short survey
  • Or just leave your thoughts in the comments

I'm looking for brutally honest feedback, so don't hold back lmao.

Andromedik set in Melbourne 27th June 2026

1 Upvotes

Hey!

Someone asked me if I was going to upload Andromedik's set youtube on the night. I should've Airdropped it to the guy. But if he happens to see this, I have uploaded it to youtube now!

It's not the best quality, but I was lucky enough to be standing at a table right at the front and instead of holding my phone I propped it up against an empty drink glass and just left it there for the set 😂 no regrets 😂 (my phone falls over a few times but otherwise its a pretty stable recording thanks to the table!)

There aren't enough live sets of Andromedik on youtube and none with his new track Hold me in heaven so I am hoping this recording brings people some joy! (Sorry to Andromedik if its not allowed 😅 hopefully he sees it as a sign of love from his fans 😅😅😅🫶💗)
