Way back when I first learnt to DJ, I had time to spend on mixes and projects and perfecting everything to make it just the way I wanted it to be. My good friend DJ Buggin', who went on to be a regular at the Frigid Parties @ The Hopetoun, hooked me up with my first gig there in 2002. I was so psyched to play this set, and I probably spent 3 months practicing, fine-tuning and rearranging the tracklist of this mix. The end product hopefully conveys some of that effort, but in all honesty, this was the first complete mix that I ever put together, and my scratching has certainly come a long way since 2002. I did, however, get a lot of good feedback about this mix, and maybe for that reason alone, I've decided to upload it. The vibe is downtempo, dark and moody, and it very much captured the kind of sound I was into at the time: I was consumed by the output of labels like Mo Wax and Ninja Tune, and just starting to discover the back catalogue of the Warp label.

Hi there. I'm DJ Kinetic, and welcome to my new blog. The idea behind this blog is to present mixes of music I like, and to profile mixes that I have played in clubs or put together for other purposes. I plan to present as wide a variety of music on this blog as I possibly can, within the confines of what I like, that is. Expect funk, soul, disco, jazz, hip-hop, breaks, rarities, and various other things that impress me. The following mix is more of a test than anything else. It's an hour or so of disco-funk from a 3-hour set I prepared for a club in Sydney's Kings Cross called The Tonic Lounge. I played this set at the club on the 24th January 2009, and it went down quite well. It's a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully it's an indicator of the kind of music you'll find me playing in and around Sydney, and a taster of what's to come on this blog.
Tracklist: Bad News Band - Rockin' it (NMI) 7" Brooklyn People - Boogie Man pt 1 (Cheri) 7" Family Of Eve - I Wanna Be Loved By You (Kay-Dee) 12" TC James & the Fist-O-Funk Orch. - Dance All Over The World (Fist-O-Funk) 12" Solar Source - Can You Dig The Funk (AVI) LP Bridge - Stick Your Finger In The Ground (Graytom) 7" General Caine - Jungle Music (Groove Time) LP Don Blackman - You Ain't Hip (GRP) LP Breakwater - Release The Beast (Arista) LP Tommy Stewart - Get Off Your Seats (Abraxas) LP Rhythm - Are You Ready For This (RCA) LP Cameo - Rigor Mortis (Chocolate City) 12" Con-Funk-Shun - Ffun (Mercury) 12" Salsoul Orchestra - Ooh, I Love It (Love Break Version) (Salsoul) 12" Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face (S-Man's Luv Dancin' Edit) (Azuli) 12" Chicago - Street Player (Columbia) 12" Ballinjack - Found A Child (Special Disco Re-Edit) (On Track) 12" People Gettin' down at the Tonic Lounge!
