Holeeee sheeiit!!! sorry it's been a minute [a loooong minute] since I blogged Y'all but the real world's been munching into my internet time a little much lately. Anyway I thought I'd drop some more goodness on you today. Frist cab off the rank is a new mix I did for LocoDisco which is my saturday night residency in Sydney - the mix focuses on a little more on taking fun music to the big room dancefloor which is kind of what I do at that club here are the links

Martin Martian Madness

2009-04-30T18:04:00.000-07:00

Justin Martin consistently blows my mind so I'm totes excited about he's gonna be in Sydney soon for the We Love Sounds winter festival. If you havent been worded up check his Chaos Restored mix series on Ben Watts fabbo Buzzin' Fly label plus his productions under his own name and Martin Brothers [with his brother Christian - whose also worth scoping] on Claude Von Stroke's Dirtybird labe. Below are a couple of blends I made awhile ago using Martin Brothers beats, Spank Rock and the Thong Song...

Tricky Thong [Kato Blend] - Martin Brothers / Tricky Disco / Sisqo

Stoopit Far Left [Kato Re-jiggle] - Martin Brothers & Spank Rock

TROPICAL TECH 101: A little from me, a little from him and some from them

2009-04-20T07:00:00.000-07:00

I love when a new sounds develops and starts to break. So i start hearing these awesome african influenced house jams and digging and playing them out and even whip up this....

Then Teki Latex fly's into town and turns me onto his dope new label Sound Pellegrino and his Thermal Team with DJ Orgasmic who gave birth to this....

Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team - Coco Beach House Mix

And now upcoming Sydney DJ TOM YUM (goong) carries on the junglism (and totally not in a white dude with dredlocks way)....

and now we have the beginningses of a burgeoning new sound

FUCK YEAH!

My collision with the KillaQueeeeeeeeeeeeeenz - BUMP!!!

2009-04-19T01:09:00.000-07:00

I first came into contact with the KillaQueenz this time a year ago when I was helping soundcheck for Cool Kids, I had an electo track on and Queen G grabbed the mic and rocked an ill freestyle over it. Now a year on the Queenz debut album 'Sistarhood' is in stores and dope as hell - check 'Double Up' their mad collab with South Rakkas Crew and you're sure to be converted.

But this blog is supposed to be about me so back to my favourite topic - awhile ago I had a fiddle with the Queenz joint 'Sweaty Wet' and Boy 8 Bit's tasty 'Ghost House' and this popped out:

After all these years I've finally decided to jump on the blogwagon as but another item in my arsenal of weapons of mass procrastination. If you like ranting, raving, tropical techno, kookjams, scandal, trash talk, dirty talk, real talk and slow roasted pork. Also expect photos, videos and maybe the odd dancefloor decimator.

So without further ado....
