Winter Daze '95 - Gavin Campbell (2021 Philvester remaster)

June 1996 Mixtape. 
Dayclub Blackmarket. 
LOVED everything about Dayclub, the people - staff and punters, the venue, the energy, the grungieness and seediness. More than anything, I loved how everyone would look out for each other. 

Back then, you gave out demos (mixtapes) in the hope that someone would actually listen to it. Many times, the person that you wanted to hear it… didn’t.

Completely understandable, can you imagine how many demos they would get? Near impossible to listen to them all and make a fair judgement. 

…And I’m sure it became a chore being constantly pestered by up and coming talent… the words “did you listen to my demo” sounding like nails on a chalkboard after the 100th time that week.

March 1996: I was one of the resident DJ’s at Parramatta Leagues or better known as Kicks. My time there was 1993 to 1996, leaving not long after I was given the honour of a residency at Blackmarket. 

Dave Lewis was the manager at BM at that time. I had my usual Saturday night shift at Kicks, I was the “Dance music” DJ there. 

The Saturday night I ended up at Dayclub was a strange night. Two friends were having their 30th Birthdays at the Burdekin on Oxford St and they had asked if I could do a set for them. Being a Saturday night I was already at Kicks, but I said yes to the birthday gig anyway. 

So, I had a mystery case of food poisoning *cough* and left Kicks halfway through the night to get to the Burdekin for my 1am gig. 

A close friend had come with me, I was a little intimidated and really nervous for my first “city” gig even though it was a birthday party for friends. It makes it so much easier when there is someone there you know at times like that! 

Those were the days when there were random bomb threats, and one happened at the Burdekin when I was three tracks in. The night was shut down. 

Seeing as I was already in the city, I did a drive by Dayclub to see if they might be open. 

Now, I wasn’t thinking of just going to Dayclub to have a bit of a night out… I was going to confront Dave the manager  if he had listened to my demo yet. He said no 😳

To this day, I have no idea what possessed me to do that. 

My mind went from, ok Im in the city, the gig I was at was shut down, Ive got nothing to lose if I ask. At worst I get told to get lost, at best I make an impression and my name might be remembered and he might listen to the demo, and I had new ones I could give him as well. 

Well, that conversation went in a way I didn’t expect. 

After asking Dave if he had listened to the demo and being told no, and explaining what my night had entailed to that point, somehow the conversation turned to yes I have music in my car and I think I said “while I’m here, do you want to hear me play“ as they weren’t open yet. Maybe my memory is a little vague and Dave suggested it…. Maybe Dave can shed some light if he remembers. 

What was I thinking? Dave said yes. F#@k I thought I was going to vomit. My palms instantly got sweaty, yes I get sweaty palms before gigs. 

They were still setting up for Dayclub so they had no music on. It was all a bit surreal, I went and got my music and my friend out of the car, we lugged the cases full of vinyl up those back stairs, the sound system was turned on. 

Standing there looking over the decks, over the railing that enclosed the dance floor, seeing the lighting and those cages, was a frozen moment in time for me and I can still feel the goosebumps of that very first time playing at Blackmarket. For me it was the epitome of being a DJ. 

That was the best moment in my DJ career. There was no other moment than right now. No thought of what happens after the set, no expectation of getting further work, just pure concentration so I didn’t f#@k up a mix. 

Dave let me play for a few hours, and I was in DJ heaven! When I finished Dave asked me to come back and play when they were open. I had just landed my first city DJ residency.
