Goin Live.

Me and Jamesy (right) on the bpm

Friday night (19th) kitted up for my first public, live gig! Did a warmup set from 10-12pm for a duo that started at 12. Bit of a trek from my north shore abode, a place in South Syd, known as the "Peaky" to locals. Had some friends support me, with the gf taking some happy snaps :)

CDJ1000's + Rane 2 Ch.

Battled a bit of nerves towards the beginningworking out thier live setup and it's workings, but ultimately got my head around it, to what ended up being a busy last hr, dropping some great electro and prog house mixes, which was well recieved by the bouncing crowd :D

Here's 2 tracks I let loose in the last 30 mins:

Proxy - Raven (Crookers Remix)
(Right Click, Save Link As)

Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness (Steve Aoki Dance Remix)
(Mediafire)

Read all about this humble, JDM box that is the underrated KE70- with impeccable photography from Kevin-Yiu this old school gem really shines.

(I believe this car is also up for sale too, contact on jdmstyletuning.com > Classifieds > Cars > KE70YO.)

Enjoy!

Digging the 'Wayfarer' look.


"The Ray-Ban Wafarer is a design of sunglasses manufactured by Ray-Ban since 1952, when their design was a revolutionary break from the metal eye wear of the past. Wayfarers enjoyed early popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. Though the sunglasses had faded from the limelight by the 1970s, a lucrative 1982 product placement deal brought Wayfarers to their height of popularity. Since the mid-2000s, the sunglasses have been enjoying a revival." - Wiki.

Cited a few sources of inspiration, itching my interest in these retro shades- Love em'. Pocketed a pair of RB 3241's (Wayfarers) last night, Diggin' it.

Throbbing & Clicking..


One of the only ways I can describe this amazingly deep yet, club appropriate track. Featuring peaks of electro glee and click, Alex Metric has done a magnificent job on this original ver. of Block Party's song- 'One More Chance', please enjoy whole-heartedly!.

Lowen!


Last week hit up the Lowenbrau, nestled in 'The Rocks' - Sydney, my first experience there and certainly won't be the last, the atmosphere was amusingly immersive, a great place to share a drink or a few litres with friends. Uber fun.

"Whatcha Say?"... Dub?


'Dubstep' is a fairly underground genre that's really only just started to make it's way out of the it's low profile scene to a larger audience of the blogosphere and a minority of clubs. I like 'Dubstep', certainty not as much as House or Electro, but I'm getting there with it. It's paced rhythm and sonic bass gaps specifically pockets it into it's own genre, differing so much from mainstream structure.

Here's a taste of 'Dubstep' from Enigma with a remix of 'Imogen Heap's 'Hide and Seek' - which you might recognise from Jason Derulo's - 'Whatcha Say' currently on the charts. I can't stop listening to this track, had it on in the car all weekend, it's flowing in it's genre specific pulses yet chilling at the same time, if this is what 'dubstep' has to offer then I'm liking it.
