I remember you....

It's been too long again! Sorry for the lack of updates everyone I've had my hands full with promoting a new event called XOTIC at The Mandalay Room, where dj's Matt La Scala, DJ Ronnie C and Eagle A will be starting a new funky house, tech house and progressive night...really looking forward to it.

As well as that I've been busy working with the guys at Ache, promoting their new night at The Mars Lounge, where up-and-coming as well as established house DJ's will be taking to the decks along with live musicians to create a real fresh, soulful, clean sound...something I'm not seeing a lot of in Sydney I'm afraid.

For the XOTIC event, I've come up with a final poster design that I think came out really good, catching that Summery vibe that's just around the corner for us Southern-Hemisphere folks :)

Apart from that, I'm really happy to announce that I've won the Ache Entertainment House DJ Competition, so now I'll be a Resident DJ at the recently refurbished Mars Lounge in Sydney!!

I looked at the venue closely and I got a really good vibe from it, being recently refurbished it has an inner-city vibe along with upmarket style, pretty cool sound system as well, so I'm looking forward to playing a set there on the 13th of November :)

Also, boost.fm is launching Southern Sessions, a stellar line-up of dj's Matt La Scala, DJ Haze, Trickee, Ivan & Allan and Sean Morrisson who'll be bringing you the very latest in Deep/Tech and Progressive House and Breaks, I'm really excited about being a part of this, with listener counts steadily increasing each week, don't forget to tune in :)

Stay tuned folks, I'll be updating as I go :)

Cheers

the people want heat!

long time no speak! it's been a month since I've had the time to update my lil' ol' blog, so i'll share with you what's been happening lately. Firstly, I've been busy with an upcoming dj competition held by ACHE Entertainment, for the pure house fan out there (much like myself!) secondly, I just came back from the 2nd boost.fm event held @ Club21 on the beautiful Gold Coast, what a night that was! Secondly I've been keeping my ear close to the ground for more of that new summer sound coming out of europe lately...it's got me hooked!

no post would be complete without a mix to download, so here it is, my October 09 mix i hope you enjoy it, i took a lot of influence from the hot summer nights i'm expecting this year and it led me to maintain a tribal, percussive feel over the whole mix, i've always loved percussion in a track, and i hope you enjoy the track selection!

well, until next time...keep spinnin!

summer is calling

It's been another big week for myself and boost.fm, starting up with my weekly show on wednesday nights - disko elektrik, thenonto Aussie Fridays, with a whole host of australian dj's playing live back-to-back sets from all across the nation.

I'm seeing a lot of quality progressive tracks come out lately, most notably from Gareth Emery, Monogato, Mobilize, Jerome Isma-Ae and Chris Lake....I've had a load of fun with these tracks lately, getting a lot of play on my show, as well as on TATW.

Another gorgeous day inSydney today, you can tell summer is on its way, and I for one am HELLA EXCITED! as such, I've put together a mix that I hope you enjoy, called Summer Starts NOW, with a whole load of new tracks from Probspot, Sezer Uyzal, Stonebridge, Chris Lake and many more.

As I type this, I'm recovering from a somewhat massive night out last night at the Bank Hotel, it's always fun when the bartender remembers the drinks you ordered last time ;)

keep spinnin'

what a weekend!

Time for another update! had a big weekend, kicking off with a 2 hour set I played for boost fm that went from 9-11am, wanted to play when the rest of the world is either getting their friday night started or waking up to a great Saturday morning!

Found a new track of the week, Lee Kalt and Mark Alston Feat. Missus M - Kiss and Fly...absolutely epic tune, the vocals are extraordinary, I can see this going off in the clubs. Lately i've been thinking about getting a Boost.fm event going here in Sydney, and I had a chat with some other DJ's, everyone seems keen to jump in and get involved, that's what I love about the Boost community, so enthusiastic and open minded, brilliant stuff!

Here's a link to the mix: frictionPoint presents Disco Elektrik it was one of my first times on the mic so don't mind me lol

Cheers, keep spinnin'

So, it's been a while...work, gym, working on the car, just got back from the snow with friends it was an AWESOME time :) Been getting back into Gears of War 2 lately, playing online with friends really adds a new dimension to the game and strategy goes out the window as things heat up.

Was surfin' youtube the other day and came across a funky-ass mix of Do You Want It right Now by Degrees of Motion, remixed by Mischa Daniels, getting a load of airplay by a couple of dj's I follow, and I can't stop playing it either!

Also this week's biggest track has to be Probspot - Staker with Fine Taste on the remix and let me tell you, it's one hella FINE TASTE mix!!!

Well, an update wouldn't be complete without a mix so here's a new mix i recorded on the fly for my weekly show every night @ 7pm AEST on www.boost.fm

I started off with some tracks by Kaskade, Funkagenda and Proff, then taking it up a notch with tracks by Signalrunners, Nitrous Oxide, Duderstadt and Abbot & Chambers
