Another gig last night at the pub. Was awesome fun. Played a 3 hour set from 9-12. First hour was mainly warm up tunes, then started getting requests for some more mainstream stuff, this group of girls got right into it which brought heaps more people around the decks having a dance. Was really happy with my mixing, tried a few tricky things here and there which worked so I was happy with that.

After my set I got approached to DJ at a chicks party coming up, and one of my friends brothers wants me to DJ at his wedding. Wants me to play all the shit I played so hopefully I get that gig!

Did a 19th a couple of days ago, and just got absolutely buckled because it was the night before i went away, could only function for the first couple of hours and had to hand off the headphones to one of my mates who's only touched decks at my house once before, had to go down and dance to the music haha.

borgore support gig :)

go to a mates before hand because borgore laid down some strict intruction's 'no bangers before his set' so i track down enough chilled dub to last me 2 hours (well 1 hour cause im doing a verse set).

get to 151 at about 9:30ish, 30min till i start, had a few drinks by now and deffinatly feeling good, walk in and the place is already packed, its in the first hour of opening and its more packed then other dublife's get at their peak during the night.

anyway i walk in and the guys before me are droping bangers. im thinking wtf are these whales doing, 1 going to get us in trouble 2 we arnt playing bangers so the crowd is probaly gonna be pissed when we played chill stuff. get to the DJ booth and we get told borgore isnt rocking up till 11:30 so its a free for all till then. fuck yeah, me and Struz, the other main dublife resident, jump on and start playing, to by far the biggest crowd ive played to in wollongong. start off with some heavy dubstep, after about 45min we drop into some mombahcore remix's then transition into heavy glitchop (dillion francis type shit) at this point filth collins rocks up behind the decks and is having some drinks with us, we play glitch till 11:30 then go back to dubstep, filth informs us that borgore dosent care what we play just so long as it isnt top 10 beatport stuff. so for the last 30min we do a 3 way verse set with me struz and filth collins. borgore rocks up and is chilling just outside the booth, crowd is fuckin insane by now. we play our last tracks and are ushered out of the booth for borgore to start, first thing he does is jump up on the dj booth and start amping up the crowd. with in a few seconds of his first track there is a massive moshpit going, which dosent stop the whole time.

me and struz wonder up stairs and talk to our good friend who has to play the whole night upstairs, we offer him to go down and enjoy borgore for a bit and we will take over mixing duties for a but, he is stoked.

had alot of fun, playing old school mightyfools and jack beats, first time id mixed electro in a yearish, had plenty of fun.

all through the night had random people coming up and saying our set was fucking awesome, hot bish's too!

have to say best gig ive ever played, by far

hey guys thought it be my turn to post here :), so i gotta gig tonight at the Newport Hotel in Fremantle south of Perth, the guy i buy all my records from runs Mills Records and hosts this gig fortnightly on a thursday from 8pm-12pm, tonight its gonna be drum n bass

his been trying to rope me into this for months now but work has always been in the way, now that im on holidays for xmas and new years i said to him sign me up for a night, his giving me a pretty cool time slot from 9.50-10.30 and this gig is a strictly vinyl only event so ive been breaking out all my good stuff

i have to admit im a little nervous, i havent played in a club in over 2 years, and that set didnt start out the best lol, ive got a pretty good set planned out for tonight but naturally i have to expect that some1 before me is going to drop 1 of my tracks before i do so i have a lotta backups in case of this.

im sure it'll go fine, i get nervous before i do my radio show but naturally im not playing to a croud standing in front of me lol

Hey guys, this is my post gig review, not much to say really except i did fuckin kill it :D

i got their at 8pm to check it out nice n early, the 1st guy was running 30 min late and i thought SHIT, now all our sets are gonna cut in half, but the 1st guy was suppose to be doin a duo but his partner didnt show so he did his set by himself, he started with funky breaks/ old rock n i thought WTF, he told me drum n bass, then the 2nd guy got on the decks then dropped in the DnB which made me feel slightly at ease, he had some nice bangers, and he practically brought a dance floor just from calling numbers in his phone.

just as i was bought to go on Spitfire showed up, followed by my cousin and his friends so i had a little posse goin, by the time i was half way through my 1st track the dance floor from the previous guy had disbanded, went off with him or watever, but there was still a lot of people their diggin the heavy DnB style that i brought to the table, throwing in all sorts of classics.......

.........oh and the guy that got me the set, stole my phone off me and hooked it up to the mixer using the voice recorder and recorded it all to my phone, i shall be uploading it to my soundcloud tomorrow if any1 is keen for a copy depending on the sound quality (the 1st track is missing a bit i think), over all im so stocked how it went, 1st time in like 2 years in a club, and i had a few guys saying we hope u come bak soon............OH YEAH :D
