Welcome to Cools Cabin Fever.

In the midst of the monumental madness around the globe, we're delighted to be launching a fresh mixtape series in support of Australia's music industry which we endeavour to become your destination for isolation inspiration.

Whilst recent times around the world have rattled us all, there's no doubting that our homies within the music industry have suffered some of the most immediate and devastating impacts as a result of the worldwide response to the crisis. As of writing, the music industry has lost over $200 million in lost income according to the crowdsourced initiative I Lost My Gig Australia... and apparently that's just the tip of the iceberg.

As a proud supporter of Support Act, the heart and hand of Australia's music industry and sole-music charity down under, this series will become a platform to connect with our favourite artists and raise awareness for the artists, crew and music workers affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Cools is calling upon our homies and music lovers across the globe to support the music industry appeal where possible. With your help, we'll be able to support our music workers through this difficult period and help them be in a position to bounce back louder and throw the biggest post-pandemic party of all time. You can donate directly to the Support Act COVID19 Emergency Appeal below.

Barney Cools x Support Act: Cools Cabin Fever Mixtapes

155: Area10 On Air with MK

"In the midst of all uncertainty, isolation and pessimism, I wanted to share a playlist of music that would hopefully cheer people up. Tracks that I don't usually play at shows but make me feel good.

 I translated that into this combination of tracks that make me feel happy, upbeat and optimistic.

I hope this mix gets you dancing in the living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms or backyard. It has definitely made smile while making it, so I hope it does that for you too."

Our first guest is Baghdad-born, Adelaide-based and long-time Cools homie Motez. To tell the story of this lord in one paragraph would be impossible - from escaping war-torn Iraq to DJing on the world's biggest stages. 

The word 'Lord' does get bandied around often around here, but in the case of Motez it's more than justified. Feast your ears and eyes on this exclusive mixtape and get to know how he's staying sane in isolation with the interview on our blog via BarneyCools.com/life.

Cools Cabin Fever Mixtape 001 • Motez

"We’re often quite busy touring and making music in the studio that it’s not always easy for us to keep on top of all the new releases coming out. As we’ve had a bit more down time over the last few weeks we’ve spent a lot more time listening to music and discovering some great new records from artists we love. This mix is a collection of a lot of the new stuff we’ve been digging."

Our second guests are home-grown homies and full-time hustlers Set Mo. Since bursting onto the scene with their tune 'White Dress', they've become our office favourites for their stamina sessions, sunset sets and Sesh Mo shenanigans.

Cools Cabin Fever Mixtape 002 • Set Mo

“We could feel the despondency in some people when all this went down and wanted to make a mix that gave hope and promise… because the truth is, this will all be over one day…

Whether isolation lasts a couple of months, 6 months or even a year... there will be a time when we look back fondly on it and realise why it happened.... and maybe even wish we could have another go at a few weeks where we all had time to do a whole lot more reflecting and just appreciating.”

A curation of disco delights guaranteed to diminish any iso-induced desolation. 

Cabin Fever is well and truly setting in... so we're providing the perfect soundtrack to cure your claustrophobia. As a proud supporter of Support Act, this series is our platform to connect with our favourite artists and raise awareness for the artists, crew and music workers affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. 

Our third guests to the series will need little introduction to our crew... as far as back as we can remember the Yolanda Be Cool boys have been a part of the B.Cools family. We've shared half of our name as well as more than our fair share of shenanigans over the years... from tomfoolery on tap on the Burning Man playa to poolside mimosas in Miami, it's safe to say we're better together.

Like an ancient bottle of sauvignon, Matt and Andy have only got sweeter and steezier over the years. So we thought 'twas about time they added some much need spice-olation to your stay home schedule.

Cools Cabin Fever Mixtape 003 • Yolanda Be Cool

“Like a majority of Australians, we’re working from home and it’s been motivating to hear how you’ve been staying Cools in confinement. We’re feeling blessed to be able to keep our digital doors open and continue rolling out content for our crew whilst we adjust to the new normal.

Some industries haven’t been as fortunate… we dedicate this mixtape to our homies in the music and hospitality sectors who continue to inspire us with their isolation-innovation over this period. We can’t wait for the post-pandemic poolside shenanigans on the other side.”

- Barney Cools DJs

It’s about time we got involved in curing your cabin fever... after some stellar contributions from our homies Motez, Set Mo and Yolanda Be Cool, we've jumped back on the decks from our seaside WFH set-up on the Gold Coast to bring you the fourth edition of Cools Cabin Fever.

“USA has had it tough over the past two months and although financially everyone has felt it, especially touring DJs and artists worldwide. It's been a great time to reset, reflect and adapt... which most of us don't ever really get time to do, ever!

Recorded all the way from a sundrenched studio in Los Angeles, tune into his exclusive contribution to our Cabin Fever series online now.

Cools Cabin Fever Mixtape 005 • Nicky Night Time

"It's been a real dampener for everyone... we decided early that we needed to take advantage of this time, and try and come out of the other side stronger. We used the remixes to continue to develop my sound and skill set, as well as to keep releasing music! 

Now more than ever it's important to keep sending positive energy into the world, and this is my way of doing it."

We’re standing with our Melburnian mates and dropping a brand new Cabin Fever Mixtape with a local cult hero to help lessen the blow as our mates revert back into their isolation hibernation. 

This week we’re joined by Melbourne-based house artist and label curator Torren Foot for a thumping mix of bass-driven house tracks. Since starting his grind onto the Melbourne club scene almost a decade ago, he’s emerged as one of the latest locals to hit the big-time with his club anthem More Life topping the global overall Beatport charts. 

We caught up with him to chat what’s been happening in his world... it may or may not include putting a bloody bun in the oven.
