Q&A: Tom Moore & Nick Murray aka Otologic

otologic.jpg

What brands are you behind and what year did they launch? Animals Dancing (2010), C Grade (2008), Inside Out (2011).

How’d you get into it? We like to party.

Who are your resident DJ’s and/or favourite touring talents? We DJ at all our parties, as well as Tornado Wallace (Animals Dancing & C Grade), Andee Frost (Animals Dancing & Inside Out), Superchang (C Grade) and Simon TK (Inside Out). We try to pick strong residents and guests alike.

Who’s your crowd and what makes your parties great? The crowd varies somewhat across the three, but a lot of the time there’s a like-minded vibe between the crowd and a passion for music and partying alike that sheds the stereotype of a typical nightclub. Without getting too deep, it’s not about being seen, just a good old fashioned party.

What’s been the most epic party you’ve thrown and why? Our C Grade parties seem to get wilder each month. Our 4th birthday was probably one of the most epic we’ve had, finishing up well into Sunday. That being said, handing the majority of the night over to the guest at our Animals Dancing parties always provides ourselves and the crowd many hours of enjoyment on the dance floor. The energy created by some of the guys (especially Prosumer, Rick Wilhite, Marcellus Pittman, Hunee and Eric Duncan) has been particularly special.

What’s the worst/craziest thing that’s happened at one of your parties? Power black outs, DJs passing out, losing DJs. Somehow every DJ we have had in Melbourne so far has made their flight out the next day (touch wood).

Shameless self-promotion opportunity – what, when, where for your next party? C Grade on Saturday August 18, Animals Dancing: I:Cube on Friday August 31 and Inside Out: Lil’ Louis TBA.
