Live at Attic x Café del Mar (December 2023)

Attic returned for a summer soirée at the iconic Café del Mar Sydney back in December—the balmy weekend was embraced by the sun-drenched ambience of Cockle Bay.

As I like to do, I kicked off the afternoon’s proceedings, offering a selection of Balearic-inspired flavours to set the mood and tone, in preparation for the more house-centric flavours to follow. (And they certainly did.)

I really enjoyed packing and preparing this particular box—which required many a dig for hidden treasures from yesteryear!—and it came out about as well as I hoped it might!

I hope it translates as such for you, potentially offering a tasty aural side dish for your day or evening!

Bon appetite!

Live at Stanley’s (9th December, 2022)

Certified slow jams incoming!

The Fazz and I returned to one of our favourite haunts—and a hidden local pleasure!—Stanley’s on Stanley for an all-afternoon/all-night pre-Christmas affair.

The entire venue was booked for an EOY shindig by the fine folk at Desk Space—a nearby co-working hub—who, I don’t mind mentioning, had personally requested our services, having heard one of our Attic mixes playing during a venue inspection.

(Humble brag, sure, but hey, gotta take them where you can!)

The seven-hour sesh flew by in the blink of an eye, and we had a blast playing for the wonderfully receptive crowd who stuck with us right ’till close.

Here is the opening hour, beginning at five o’clock. It’s an understandably laidback affair, setting the scene for all that was to come! (And it definitely did.)

Hope you enjoy some forgotten favourites of yesteryear, washed down with the usual abundance of lower, slower, groove-laden jams!
