Los Angeles based band Orgone is many souls with a cosmic connection, a natural creative force and musicians who have played together for years.

Melt, 12 Kellett Street, Kings Cross

It's time to get sidetracked at Off the Beat Frenzie, SayWhut?!, Yin Yang Take the off the beaten track for Off The Beat!

Set in the cosy confines of Melt in Kings Cross adorned with mismatched lounges, cool artwork and classic record covers (including 1 oversize record) aligning the walls Off The Beat feels more like a rockin house party than a modern club. What better way to start off the weekend's festivities than in a relaxed, cozy environment than to have to adhere to strict door policies and chin-stroker music boffins.

Then there's the music!!! This week sees fbi radio's Jack Prest mix it up before he sets off on an extended world tour taking in all corners of the globe. Joining him will be Midnight Swim who mixes up a nice concoction of disco and classic house treats and closing out the night will be BC of the SWAT DJs who makes a return to the club after smashing it last Saturday with his blend of party flavours.

Rather than labelling the sound as eclectic, the DJs take you on a journey ra
