Live at Attic x Café del Mar (December 2023)

Standard | Posted on by

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 S*A*S*H Mix (23rd July, 2017)

Standard | Posted on by

Here is my recorded set from last Sunday evening, closing up S*A*S*H By Day: the daytime stanza of the amazingly strong and ever-consistent weekly event.

I played right after the day’s headliner, Scottish house guru, Jasper James. The crowd—as is always the case with S*A*S*H—were extremely welcoming and certainly up-for-it, and lapped up the unseasonal warmer Sydney vibes with an abundance of smiles!

This set contains some driving, melodic disco house vibes, some deeper house selections—some of which I’ve not enjoyed for a little while—and concludes on a faster, more pumping tip; a staple for the weekly event, really.

Many thanks and much love to the S*A*S*H crew for the booking, the hospitality, and the warm and fuzzies—particularly Cris, for his full encouragement and belief that, hey, I can play a closing set! Much love to the regular S*A*S*H party people, too, who somehow make this Sunday shindig one of the strongest, most consistent events our fair city has ever seen!

I had a whole lot of fun delivering this one, and hope that is also translated via the stream/download.

Enjoy!

Live at Foxlife Mix (10th June, 2017)

Standard | Posted on by

Here is a(nother) new mix from me: the recording from my set last weekend at the Queen’s Birthday long weekend edition of Foxlife, playing alongside Slyfox resident, Rabbit Taxi, Pip Dalton and Öncüm Yılmaz.

I was handed the closing duties on this occasion—a fresh change and a little different from the warm-up set times to which I’m generally used to!—and played right through ’till morning, finishing at around six o’clock.

This particular set features a combination of my preferred melodic, Attic-style disco-driven deep house, as well as some tougher, techier numbers and concludes on a floaty, uplifting note; just the way to bring in the morning for the weary heads on the dance floor!

Really hope you dig this one!

Live at S*A*S*H Mix (7th August, 2016)

Standard | Posted on by

I’ve played some really enjoyable gigs over the last couple of years, but my recent Monday morning set at S*A*S*H, in particular, was something incredibly special and will be held dear and remembered very fondly for some time indeed!

A special thank you to Cris, Matt and Kerry for the booking: for having faith in me, to hand me a prime slot; and to the many happy faces who danced, grooved and partied into the early hours in The Den with me!

Fortunately, I happened to record the set — which comes complete with audio from the crowd — and it’s now available to listen to and download.

Really hope you enjoy this one — again, or for the first time — as much as I did!

Live at Sly Fridays Mix (8th July, 2016)

Standard | Posted on by

Well, here is my recorded set from ‘Sly Fridays’ on Friday night — well, Saturday morning, to be precise — hosted at ‘Slyfox’ in Newtown. I played the closing set of the night: from 3 AM, right until closing time at six.

Without too much of an idea of what I was going to play; I threw caution to the wind a bit and pulled out a selection of disco, house, some chunkier, deeper drum-driven stuff and pulled it right back towards the end finishing on an uplifting tip — much to the delight of some weary punters!

In particular, I wanted to send out special thanks to Jackson Winter the mastermind of this Friday shindig: firstly, for booking me, and for the extended three-hour slot, which really gave me a chance to stretch the legs musically and rip out some wax that has been burning holes in my record box, itching for the right forum to play!

You have an excellent product in this night — choosing perfectly appropriate selectors, bringing deeper, and sometimes eclectic, vibes right throughout the evening ’till late. It really shows that the tunes don’t need to be tough-as-nails to keep the late-night hungry punters entertained!

Shouts to the other DJs on bill, Donald Leicester and James Cripps!

I personally had a lovely time playing for the incredibly receptive “silent disco” crowd, bringing in Saturday morning!

Hope you enjoy the set as much!

Foxlife Warm-Up Mix (December 2015)

Standard | Posted on by

Well, whilst a large portion of our Sydney scene were revelling in the frivolities at Subsonic, I had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing at SLYFOX’s weekly Saturday shindig, Foxlife!

Supporting the insanely talented, YokoO, alongside Sydney stalwarts, Jordan Deck and Mark Craven, I opened up shop and warmed up the evening — just the way I like to do so — playing some deeper, chunky, slung-out selections with a dabble of disco, for good measure!

The crowd was extremely accommodating and responsive, and really seemed to dig the early-evening deep ‘n’ disco vibes!

Unfortunately, I did not press record during the actual set, however; I retained a list of the tunes played, in the order they were played, and, as a result, here is the re-recording!

Hope you like it! 😉
