sWICKED

I may be a little late on this plug but its weel worth it. And although i promised myself not to post during exams i take by the words of what Winston Churchill once said...."Fuck It"

Sorry if you got excited but jesus only DJs the backroom or heaven so i couldnt get a hold of his mixtape. But....i have got one that is stunning. Just to illustrate how good it is i whilst downloading it also downloaded The Twelves new mixtape (The Twelfth Hour) which at any other time would be on repeat.....But this mix thanks to an anonymous red-head has come to my attention and is unbelievable.

It i could base how i wish to be as a DJ in the future it would be just this. Every song is amazing and it sits somewhere between a mini-mix (where you may not realise there a 20 songs beatmatched at once) and a full blown mixtape. Swick is a melbourne boy doing OZ proud and along with this dope mix he has some of his own individual remixes up. Thankfully, arguably the best new label in the land of OZ 'Sweat It Out' have gobbled him up.....he joins the likes of Ajax, DCUP, Act Yo Age, EduK etc etc. So sit your ass down put redtube i mean youtube on pause for 30 minutes and listen to the best eighty songs crammed into that time.

PS - look out for some retrun posts and weekly segemnts starting next friday

A New Sensation?

Lately i have seen some dope stuff on the tube that shows with new age video+audio editing some funky stuff can be made check out these three the first two of which is an chiller under the name Pogo who has quite a few of these on youtube. He uses basic sounds from movies along with a small amount of his own stuff and its very wicked. The last is a more basic refix but is still cool and pretty funny...Theres my Sunday Roast so check em out.
Peace.

This is probably the best announcement of various chillers that will be coming to the land of OZ (hence the title) along with such festivals as Pyramid Rock, Playground Weekender, Summadayze, Good Vibes etc. To my rejoice one of the craziest promoters/producers/DJs is hitting down under. Yes its Steve Aoki, not much information about who he is playing with yet is available but for Steve Aoki he does mean special guests. On that note I will drop you a few random tracks and i suggest that you get some of the green highlighted blokes' (above) tunes as they are all insane. Oz we have certanily got some crackers coming up......and toto we aint in fucking Kansas anymore (had to do it).

Peace.

HOSTAGE

Tilt your kilt cos Hostage is in the house. Hailing from Scotland this dude has been spinning it up lately. The hard electro styles of Hostage have been on repeat for me heaps lately. I am not sure what they are starting to put in the water over there but scotts like Hostage and Dirty Basement have been smashing out cranking tunes that have an inventive element to them.....i am yet to figure out what makes them different but there is definately something. Enjoy these couple of tracks and stay on the look out for electro talent as its everywhere not just france. If you dig these tracks he is playing at Oxford Arts Factory early-ish october.

Au Revoir.
