rob wu's fresh and funky EP is due for a drop on february 20 on the awesome new 'beats me music' label. it's got a really neat house version of 'pastime paradise' (the ray baretto cover of it), amongst some other goodies that rob wu had whipped up in the last few months. i was glad to add to to the package with a remix, which is a cross between deep haus and uk garage. interesting? [update 20.02: check it out on traxsource now!]

last week on my facebook wall i excitedly posted a link to an article suggesting one of my tunes was going to be included on the next fabric cd mixed by dj sneak, and today it's official. i've received some paperwork for it, and things are almost ready to go. no doubt this mix is going to be a cracker. as witnessed in the post below, sneak always plays some interesting sounds, so get ready! the release date is february 20, and on the feb 18 we'll be heading over to the launch party at fabric in london to celebrate and hear some sneaky sounds. you can pre-order the cd right here on the fabric website.

today i downloaded some dj sneak sets from his soundcloud page to check out what he's been up to lately, and awesomely enough it turns out he dropped one of my tracks during his set at smart bar, chicago, back in november. it put a big smile on my face and helped me remember why i love to do this. the set has some great stuff in there with that signature sneak sound, and you can always tell a dj is having a jolly good time when they cut loads of faders and twiddle loads of knobs. wicked! here's the set:



here's a quick preview of 'crack ass', coming out this year.

and last, but not least - happy new year everyone! hope it's a great one!

after a massive faux pas on my behalf, the website is back. i kinda messed up the transfer process between webhosts. oops!

recently i was asked to do a mix for the headtunes artist series of podcasts. this series promotes the peeps released on headtunes recordings. so far all the mixes have been pretty great, so i am quite honored to be included. anyway, i wasn't really sure where to begin, so i picked out a bunch of tracks that i've enjoyed and got a hold of more recently. it turned out to be quite a mixed bag of soulful, funky, quirky and deep house. a special thanks must be said to all the peeps who's music is on here. hope you like it!

today rob clarke's new set of groovy tracks came out exclusive on stompy (for a few weeks). this includes a tasty remix i did. great support from andy riley (inland knights), tommy largo, fergus, nick holder, high maintenance, and a load of other cool peeps. have a listen!

guys i've remastered an older tune i did around 2008 called 'killing time'. it was inspired by an awesome sunday evening i had at a melbourne bar of the same name. at the time it wasn't yet a popular hangout, so no one was there except a small group of people drinking and dancing in the back garden. a dj was playing some kick-ass deep house, and the vibe coming from everyone there was just perfect.

anyway, a week ago i remastered the results of my experience, and here it is, available for a free download to use and enjoy if you so wish. thanks killing time peeps, and to michelle valenti for taking me there.

w00t! my traxsource top 10 chart is up. this is a selection of my picks from the last 30-odd days. there are some seriously rad tunes in there, so check it out!

rob clarke's cracking new ep just popped out on the headtunes label with a couple of my own remixes - one with an oldschool 90's house vibe and another on the downtempo tip. the feedback so far has been amazing, with support from some of my favourite players including mark farina, inland knights and phil weeks, to name just a few. it's out now on traxsource, and october 24th everywhere else. the headtunes release sheet for it is available here (pdf).

when is the end really the end? i'm getting a bit worn out from fixing all this css, so maybe for now this is it. enjoy some tetris while you're here, and please add me on facebook and google+ if you feel like some random banter.

anyway, today i listened through a mix recorded on the weekend with myself, jam funk and rob wu doing back to back action. it's pretty neat! we'll host it up on our house party crew radio show on ss radio (also available via itunes). podcast us, or tune in every second friday. we'll also play a sweet jazzy eyewear mix made for an upcoming release on the so sound label, titled 'no limit to love chicago'. ;) til then!

fixed up and added a few things here. also some mixes are available for you in the free shit section.
go grab em! ;)

yeyya! the new website is up and smells much better than the old one. go easy on me folks, i made it myself and clearly i'm no web developer.

i'll be putting up some new tunes on my soundcloud page soon, so they'll be linked up here as well. also for any aussies out there, i will be playing in melbourne during november, alongside some close friends, so i'll throw the dates up as soon as i have 100% confirmation.
