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.

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.

WEDNESDAY 24TH JUNE
The Dug Out Bar 9PM-2AM

BROADWAY CAFE


If you still bother checking this blog then I apologize for the fact that it has turned into nothing but lame self promotion and the odd crappy youtube clip. I will do a mix or something very soon, I swear! For now I thought I should let those in Sydney know about something exciting thats going down at a little place called the Broadway Cafe. Heres the blurb...

With support from The Boogie Dance Cafe boys 89.7fm (who are bringing you Sadar - Hole in the Soul Chicago Sat May 9), Broadway Cafe (166 Broadway Chippendale) is hosting some of Sydney's heaviest collectors of original boogie dance cuts from across the ages.

This is set to be an institution in a town that has historically lacked licensed digs with good food and even better music. It will be running for free on Thurs, Fris and Sats from 7 till midnight and will hopefully provide the perfect spot for party warm ups or for those of us who's old bones and ears can't take a dance floor beating week in week out.

Deals include $5 pizzas and $5 Jugs of beer before 8pm $20 buckets of beer (5 coronas or becks on ice in a bucket) all night and $10 Jugs of Sangria

So if you've been looking for something between a club and a pub, classic and obscure cuts or just a place that serves pizzas and beer then look no further. I'm sure cluey peeps like yourself will get this place bumping. Together we'll definately make something pretty special.


Oh yeah and this Friday (the 8th) will feature myself on the decks with my good homeboy Paul who is back off to the UK next Wednesday. So come down for a drink with us.

FRIDAY NIGHT...


This Friday night I'm playing records with a bunch of other local DJs at a monthly night called Picnic. Personally I would like to see more of this sort of thing happening. There is definitely a pretty lame scene and lack of support for local Djs playing good dance music out regularly in Sydney. Yeah ladylux is probably not my favorite venue either but the sound system is tops and the music will be too, so if you are in town come on down for a dance.
