LOVEFINGERS INTERVIEW

I just completed an interview for the December/January issue of Blackmail with Andrew Lovefingers. He is coming down under for new years and January, I recommend going to see him DJ. In the meantime go and read the interview here.

AN OVERDUE UPDATE

Been extremely slack around here lately so apologies to anyone that might actually visit this blog. Got a few things coming up including some mixes which I'm going to try get around to recording very soon (yes more than one) and another Tropical Social Club...


After a six month hiatus we are back on down at the Dug Out Bar. I have got my buddy Shunji joining me on this one. We've got a new flyer, a new night of the week (Thursday) and shit loads of new records to play for you. Weather or not this will become a regular thing again or just a one off we don't really know yet. Hope you can make it down.

Shuji and myself will also be playing some records on our buddy Tysons radio show Loose Joints on Sunday the 29th (3-5pm on FBI 94.5). So maybe tune into that one too.

THURSDAY - PARTÉ

GIGS...

There are some fun parties happening in the next few weeks. On the weekend I will be djing down in Melbourne for the first time at the Fire Eyes launch, playing some italo and jacking chicago business and other bits and pieces. The following weekend I will be back in Sydney welcoming the warm weather with some summery jams down at my old hangout the dug out bar. Here are the flyers with all the full info, and another youtube clip just incase you don't know what I mean by 'summery jams'...

CHEKERE SON

Nothing much to report around here lately, so I'm just posting up some more youtube goodness. For the record I love this tune and first heard it in a mix by the amazing DJ Mozart.

PLEASURE

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

LOOSE JOINTS

Big thanks to Tyson Koh for having me down to play some tunes on his radio show 'Loose Joints' yesterday afternoon. It was my first time playing records on the radio and it was also the first time I think someone has referred to me as a 'DJ Extraordinaire' too :P. It was definitely a lot of fun. For those in Sydney, you can tune in to Tysons excellent show every Sunday afternoon from 3 till 5 on FBI 94.5 FM, and if you would like to check out the previous playlists for the show including a list of all the tunes we played yesterday then click here.

LIVE @ TROPICAL SOCIAL CLUB

So I mentioned the launch of The Blackmail in my last post. I will be contributing to this new online newsletter/magazine via The Blackmail Daily, where I recently posted up a live DJ set of mine from the last Tropical Social Club. You can go and listen to it and read the little blurb and track list here...

Live @ Tropical Social Club

Stay tuned because I will be posting up plently more goodies soon.

SOME HAPPENINGS...

Wednesday night sees the launch of new online magazine The Blackmail. I will have some more news on this soon.


Sunday July 5, I will be supporting Londons Horse Meat Disco djs alongside a long list of talented local Djs across two rooms. Tickets here.

R.I.P.

TROPICAL SOCIAL CLUB

Tropical Social Club is here again and guests this month are Old Boy and Albatross. Old Boy and I used to DJ together sometimes back in late 2005 at the 'She's Lost Control' parties at the Brighton Hotel, Albert would usually be there too getting drunk with us. I had just started djing out and about and the stuff I was playing was mainly on a post-punk/left-field disco/new-wave tip. Although it wasn't really that long ago, at the time I don't think I would have been able to tell you a great deal about afro-cosmic or Daniele Baldelli and my knowledge of house music was pretty limited too, but we still played some pretty cool stuff. Anyway next Wednesday we are going to do it all again, we'll be playing a bunch of old post-punk records from groups like The Glaxo Babies, Medium Medium, The Fire Engines, Essendon Airport and all sorts of other stuff thrown in for good measure. If you live in Sydney you'll know how rare it is to hear this kind of music played out anywhere these days, so I hope to see you there.
