Double Header !!?!

Thought I might as well give a run down on what happened last weekend. Was a pearler of a Saturday night and alot of running amok was done.

Well I managed to double book myself playing at FORCE's bush party and on RTR FM's Rythym Trippin with Alba and Moe. Mind you they were at the same time. But after a bit of ringing around and begging dj's to swap times I was able to make both sets.

Rocked up at RTR waiting for Alba to turn up so Reece and I knocked the top of a couple of cold ones. Hoegaardens at that. Though I managed to break a full one. But I am blaming the wind and I is sticking to it. Anyways Alba rocks up and it's time to get the show on the road. Moe was first out the gates at 11pm and played some 'Happy' tunes as by request.

Seeing this was my first time on the airwaves and even with a few glorious beverages under my belt I was still nervous and shaking like a dog shitting razorblades. Moe finished off at 11:40 and it was my turn to man the 1's and 2's. As I was cueing up Alba asks what tune I'm opening with. "Rock It" was the answer and all I got in reply was "You bastard ! I was going to open with that" Anyways I rolled through my set rinsing a bit of everything (you can re stream the show from RTR's website) and then Alba jumped on and played a healthy set of wobble. 1am came swinging by and it was time to say my goodbyes and crossing my fingers for another set in the future.

Now it was time to leg it out to the bush party for some mischief and more drunken times.

With Scorpius at the wheel and his missus Katie riding shotgun I snuggled in the back and prepared for the hour and a bit drive. Funny how time goes by quickly when sleeping. Yes I was checking for cracks in my eyelids. Nothing more nothing less.

We rolled up to the site of the party and it was going off like a frog in a sock. I was in the mood to tear it up and this was the place to do it. I ran around saying my hellos and what nots to the usual crew. Alot of them were frothing for some dnb action as the last 3 hours had been gabber and hardcore.

Ravix and G Force were rinsing a pretty decent set keeping the crowd grooving away. At this point I managed to find a couple of Red Cans and smashed them back in fine Darky form. Last couple from Grant were blinders. The Auscore tune Pokemon for some reason gets me amped all the time. Last tune from Grant was some remix of Badger Badger Badger. Many a laughs were had.

I decided on opening up with Telemetrik's The Bane. Fucking smasher of a tune. Definatly got the heads moving. From this point on I was having that much fun, people handing me drinks, dropping tunes perfectly and just having a ball. Scorpius did well with some of the tunes he dropped. I can remember dropping KC - Extreme Steel it has both guitar riffs from Slayer - South of Heaven and Pantera - Walk. The D-floor turned into a mosh. Was epic.

Anyways thats the majority of what happened though I managed to show everyone that I have no shame. I was well tanked by this point and Hutcho was spinning some Hardstyle when someone asked me to do a nudey run. I declined at first but I agreed to do it for 2 smokes. I must of been smashed. Anyways with a dust mask in possesion to cover my family jewels I bolted on to the dfloor in front of Hutcho and did a sexy dance. The look on his face was priceless.



Well I can say is that my bare ass won't appear for awhile and all up I had a ripper of a night.
Cheers to Alba for having me in the studio and to the listeners that tuned in. The crew out at the bush party. Cheers for your loving support. Oh one word "KNUCKLE SAUCE".

Till my next blog, Keep it foolish yah!

Well here is a few lists I want to get out in the open. My personal top 20 all time favourite dnb tunes. Also my top 10 producers. DJ's will be done later in another blog haha.

These lists are based on what tickles my fancy and not what everyone else thinks. If you got something to say like "Oh but you forgot this tune blah by blah" or "Blah is a better producer than blah blah". This is MY lists. Not yours!

Top 20 Tunes of all time:

1) Bad Company - The Nine
2) Dom and Roland - Imagination
3) Stakka and Skynet - Biosphere
4) Concord Dawn - Morning Light
5) Klute - Part of Me
6) J Majik - Spaced Invaders
7) Ed Rush + Optical - Bacteria
8) Konflict - Messiah
9) Konflict - Star Trails
10) Kiko - Passport
11) Bad Company - Ladies Of Spain
12) Typecell - Egomatric (Rob F rmx)
13) High Contrast - Return Of Forever
14) John B - Up All Night
15) Ram Trilogy - Titan
16) Ram Trilogy - Firewire
17) Ryme Tyme + Trace - Move VIP
18) Teebee - Bounce
19) Adam F - We Want Your Soul (Ed Rush and Optical rmx)
20) Pendulum - Still Grey

Bloody hell. It really is hard to do a top 20 list of tunes. But these are the ones that makes me wet in places a man shouldn't be.

Top 10 Producers :

1) Noisia
2) Matrix
3) Optical
4) Spor
5) Kemal
6) Sub Focus
7) The Upbeats
8) D Bridge
9) Kiko
10) Phace

Bit of a mixed bag but some of these producers are just unreal. The Quinn brothers aka Matrix and Optical are bloody tops. Noisia, I might do an entry on describing why they will always be on top of their game. Anything and everything they touch is unreal. No one is remotely close to their level. Upbeats get an honourable mention for their style and sound. So grimey it's tops.

Drum and Bass, Rock n Roll.
Both these warm my soul.

I will be updating this blog as much as possible with info on what gigs I have coming up, posting up links to my old studio mixes and most recently recorded live sets.
