Edit: 27 August 2017, I like to listen to my own mixes often, on re-listens to this one, there were some transitions in the 2nd half I wasn't totally happy with. So, I recorded a better version a few weeks back, and have replaced the audio file here now. Same tracks, same order, but less rushed overall, some longer sections, and adding back the last track, Luca Agnelli - Aplu, which had been cut to fit the Fnoob show hour. This may shift the time/location of some comments, sorry about that, Full tracklist below...

Apologies for no new Black+Light show last month, June. I was away in Europe on holiday. Visiting London, Paris, Barcelona, Budapest, Vienna, and Berlin. 

I saw Depeche Mode [Live] in London and Berlin, fantastic! Reconnected with much missed old friends, and made many new ones too. Did a whole lot of clubbing all through the holiday, in Paris and Barcelona, and 3 amazing weekends in Berlin, there spent mostly in clubs: Berghain and Griessmühle, with a visit to Tresor too.

During my month long holiday, I experienced and danced to sets from (in order): Schwefelgelb [Live], Phase Fatale, Marco Shuttle, Perc, Rødhåd, Answer Code Request, Function, Revolt, Slam, DJ Bus Replacement Service, Silent Servant, Blawan, DVS1 Vs James Ruskin, Rumenige & Loktibrada, Antigone, DJ Nobu, TR-101 (DJ Pete & Sleeparchive) [Live], Marcel Dettmann, Len Faki, Mono Junk, Marco Shuttle, Area Forty_One, Kitkatone, Boston 168 [Live], Amotik, Setaoc Mass, L.B. Dubcorp, DVS1, Norman Nodge, and DJ HMC. 

Techno, techno, techno! Much fun was had!

Now back home in Sydney, it's winter, back at work, post-holiday depression kicking in...

This show/mix came together really quite quickly, selected a bunch of brand new tracks, a rough order in mind, and just went for it, hit record and into the mix I went. Not as planned out, programmed, post reviewed, re-recorded, and edited as I often do with my shows/mixes. 

I think it turned out alright. Definitely some musical inspiration from my European clubbing adventures: Solid beats, deep, dark atmospheres, harder, percussive intensity, with some melodic light too, a bit of a journey.

I was booked to do a DJ set at a secret, outdoor, suburban, party here in Sydney last Saturday night: Rivet X, but unfortunately police shut it down before I got to play, which was frustrating, it was building nicely, growing crowd, great vibes... Typical Sydney nanny/police state overreaction. 

This show/mix is similar to what you would have heard from my Rivet X set, I hope you enjoy!

Various DJ gigs in Sydney 1999 - 2005, and a few in 2008.

One-off retro rave live performances as DAMC in 2013, 2014 and 2016 in Adelaide, at Flash Back II, Ultraworld NYE 2014, and Party With A Purpose II events.

2016 got inspired by new sounds in techno music, new friends, Sydney techno DJ Loveless (RIP), and starting doing the digital DJ thing, putting mixes together. Invites to DJ out began.

Monthly Internet radio show: 'Black+Light' on Fnoob Nov 2016 > May 2018,

Passionate about a variety of underground techno music sounds: Deep, dark, atmospheric, brutal, heavy, twisted, minimal, broken, hard, light, beautiful, melodic, hypnotic - all depending on mood.

Loving the industrial, EBM, broken beats, heavy and dark atmospheres in modern techno music right now, still a fan of the rave. Not a fan of the new "hard techno" fast techno, tik-tok techno fad.

Listen and hear the sound in music , is't the same :)
