Australia Day = Aussie Funk Vol.1 Revisited!

Since Australia Day (26 January) was a couple of days ago, The Soul Of Sydney website that promotes all things musically Australian decided to do revisit my Aussie Funk mix from 2006 in order to celebrate the day. Cheers to Sammy for the appreciation and interest in good Australian music. You can check it out here. Plenty of other good stuff on his blog too, including a mix by a mate of mine.

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.

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.
