Weekly Radio Podcast: When The Levee Breaks 2SER 107.3fm

Hey everyone,

just a quick headz-up to let you know that I'm now hosting a weekly radio program along with fellow music obsessives Peter Pascal (Creative Vibes label founder) and Sage-One (Sydney B-boy and DJ). The show is a little peak into our crates / private mind garden. We play good music across a variety of genres such as funk, soul, jazz, progressive rock, hip-hop, boogie, and some new releases as well. What we can promise about the show is that there will be lots of music that you won't hear on other similar radio shows, and that will be both informative and entertaining in our presentation! 

Get into it here!

Tan Crackers Soul Club - July 2010

Tan Crackers Soul Club @ Tonic Lounge has been going from strength to strength over the last few months, with a bigger and better crowd each month. Since the current venue has reached it's capacity (READ: full + line outside = let's find a bigger place), August will see Tan Crackers debut at the newly renovated TONE venue in Surry Hills, owned and operated by your friend and mine, BC from the SWAT DJ collective.

Check out my set from Tan Crackers' last Tonic Lounge set - such a good night, and thanks to those that have already checked out this set or given me great feedback. You can stream the set here @ Soul Strut or download the mix for a limited time on the TCSC Soundcloud page.

Here are some shots of my posse at TCSC. See y'all in August @ TONE.

Tan Crackers Soul Club - May 2010

Euro Funk Mix: The Subtle Art Of Self Destruction

A couple of years ago I started this mix with the intention of eventually pressing up a limited number of copies for sale and promo. With the help of a friend who is primarily into techno and hard house, I set about recording and editing the mix over a number of months. But due to time, availability, and changing priorities, the mix took a long time to eventually complete. It was also at least a year ago that my then girlfriend (and now wife) started work designing the cover art for this project which you see above. I really like it, and I think it really conveys the mood of the mix. I hope you enjoy this aptly titled mix. Expect to hear obscure Euro and world funk, breaks, dark jazz, funk and rock.

Tonic Lounge this Saturday Night 22 May 2010

I'm playing this Saturday at Tonic, and this time it's going to be 3 hours of disco fire heating up the dancefloor, with some northern soul rounding out the evening. Here's a flyer from a few months back that I only just found!

Also, stay tuned for a recording of the set to be upped shortly after Saturday night.

See you @ Tonic Lounge

Tan Crackers @ Tonic Lounge

Following the success of last month's Tan Crackers, it's on again at the end of May, with The Boogie Monster and myself playing again this month alongside resident Gian Arpino and guests. This is hands-down Sydney's best funk and soul night, and not to be missed. Expect top quality dancefloor funk and nothern soul @ Tonic Lounge.

Aussie Funk mix available for download

DJ Kinetic - Aussie Funk Vol. 1 (2006)

I put this mix together back in 2006 because i wanted to do something to showcase the time and effort I'd put in to tracking down and discovering some of the best funky music that Australia produced. I was heavily influenced at the time by Creative Vibes' Respect Overdue compilation series which sought to do the same thing. Peter Pascal - a founding member of the CV label - later became a good friend of mine as a result of our common interest in Aussie Funk.

The front cover of this mix actually depicts each and every record used in the mix, in order, but with one mistake - I think George Golla and Arena are switched around the wrong way for some reason!

Enjoy!
