Perplexed

Dj Perplex. 3 time Aus DMC Champion. The guy is incredible.

Somewhat of a hiatus due to a lack of decent music.

Product Placement

See if you can spot the hidden bottle of Campari. That guy is totally drinking a Negroni. With lyrics as deep as hers, it's obvious that Lady Gaga deserves such a sophisticated drink like Campari.

Le Castle Vania

Heaps dope.



Even makes Walter Meego sound good.

Walter Meego – Through a Keyhole (Le Castle Vania Remix)

MID-WEEK GEEK

MIT – Rauch (Crystal Fighters Remix) <---- Bit of Baile Funk for ya'll. Kind of like what Bonde Do Role would sound like if Marina hadn't left and they didn't succumb to the MTV baddies.

Charlie Why? – Lips (Spruce Lee Inner Jungle Remix) <---- Charlie Why? is touring with Le Castle Vania at the moment. Spruce Lee (part of Sydney's Ro Sham Bo) provides a tight remix.

Goshi Goshi – The Lock Shot <---- I don't know what to say about this track. It's infectious. It does all the right things.

Thanks to You Can Call Me Pelski.

la la love.

post script - photo's coming soon courtesy of Peter...of various things. He's heaps good.

Wow...Hi, Wow.

Aston Shuffle did a gig at a prominent Darwin venue on Saturday as a part of their Clubber's Guide 2009 tour. We didn't stay for all of it, but they did quite a good show. One couldn't help but notice that they were slightly un-enthused (who could blame them?).

I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to tours for mix compilations, as they don't usually stray too far from the tracklisting. Having said that they did play 'Love to Edit' by Crookers, which as far as I'm aware isn't on Clubber's Guide. The mixing was technical and very refreshing.

In other news; 'The Big Gig' in on this Saturday at Browns Mart. I highly urge everyone who isn't going to Pure Sounds to check out Fire! Santa Rosa, Fire!. They're from Adelaide and have been getting radio play with Triple J as a part of 'Uneathed'. (When did that become a year long event?)

And of course Pure Sounds in the Park. The inaugural 'Hard Dance' music festival at the Amphitheater...what's that? You didn't know it was a Hard Dance event? Don't worry, neither did most people. However, I think everyone is looking for any excuse to down a whole lot of narcotics and let their inner 90's rave child in fat pants come out and get their stomp on. Highlights include....uhh Pee Wee Ferris (who knew he was still alive?), Amber Savage (an angry feminist who plays hard style...sexy) and of course, the high-flying Darwin duo doing a 'live show' (very excited to see what this entails).

New mixes coming soon.

How fucked up?

Mix from Newcastle Ned. Seriously one of the tightest mixes I've heard this year.

Ned – Totally Fuckin’ Mexico Mix <---- Mpeg - 54 mb.

Well plastic.

WTWTA

If you aren't excited about this movie, you had a depraved childhood.

Guns Don't Kill People...LAZERS DO!

Diplo at SXSW.

Pretty sure he took the shape of a unicorn at some point.

Dig the mummy dancer.

Absence

I've been in Sydney. 

New posts this weekend. 

A mix from Newcastle Ned and a killer bootleg of "Mars" by Fake Blood. 

bourgeoisie bitches. 

President Fest

Apparently people are losing their shit over The Temper Trap at SXSW. (Hence the president fest - i.e all the Record Label boss' are trying to sign them at their shows)

And rightfully so. These guys have been touring relentlessly and frequent the Laneway festival. Plus it's kind of a big deal when Herve remixes your track.

The Temper Trap – Science of Fear (Hervé Dub Remix) <---- Herve's flawless dub remix. Mad love.

No word on the release date of their album yet.

Live Twitter

N.O.R.E checks his phone whilst rapping live on Jimmy Kimmel.

Douche.



It's actually a really good song and great to see Mstrkrft playing live. Vocals were a bit of a let down.

MID-WEEK GEEK

I just found out I'll be moving to Brisbane in 2 months. The blog will continue to function. I will have spies everywhere in Darwin reporting for me. Expect more reviews from the east coast.

No club or dj is safe from ridicule.

This weeks tracks.

Etienne De Crecy - Funk <---- Such a smooth track. This week's favourite.

Dj Mehdi – Tunisia Bambaata (Mercury Remix) <---- Beautiful piano and tight bass.

Grum – Go Back (Le Castle Vania Remix) <---- Melt your brain.

Darwin Dubstep

Who knew it existed?


Happy Yess will be throwing a dubstep gig this Friday - Bass Concussion: Blastcorp + Schmaltz will be playing some great dubstep, breaks and minimal.

There will also be a bass challenge!

Check out Blastcorp's myspace. www.myspace.com/blastcorp

SXSW

It's on once again.

I'm jealous because I'm not there once again.

Some amazing bands playing in the live music capital of the world (Austin, Texas). I won't list the artists as there are far too many. And it has already been published on Pedestrian.

Check out footage of Florence and the Machine playing last year. This is evidence of a pretty standard gig. Wayne Coyne might be busking, Gallows will be hanging from the ceiling, Aoki and his fucking entourage will be there.

It's probably the best festival in the world.

It is estimated that almost 90% of all songs are written or inspired by love. In any form; heart break, dispair, loss, grief, lust etc etc.

Which is why it is refreshing to hear about a band who sing about nothing but...super heroes. "You Love Her Coz She's Dead" are signed to Kitsune and have been included on Maison 6. They bare an uncanny resemblence to Crystal Castles (Ethan & Alice anyone?).

They also featured in a recent episode of Skins (Season 3). Their Ep, "Inner City Angst" has just been released on Kitsune.

8-Bit Super Heroes.
