Radio

Been a hot minute since I last shared a club-oriented mix so here's a new one! Recorded in a single take, the mix begins with a few Breaky numbers before progressing through to Techno, Dubstep, Jungle/DnB and a few curveball Gqom and Grime tracks and is reflective of what I play in a club environment. I've forever had a love for splicing together seemingly disparate sounds and styles in order to form DJ sets which traverse a wide range of genres from across the musical spectrum - big love always!

DEMO '22

Here is a live recording from a lil private Doof that was held between the 4th-6th of November up at Welshman's Reef in Victoria's North-West. I felt it only necessary to turn it up for the final set of the evening and was super stoked with how it played out - I hope you enjoy listening! Big love always!

Sleeper Tape - Ballads For Entropy [SLEEPCS001]

'Ballads For Entropy' marks the first release from new imprint Sleeper Tape, which is presented in the form of a genre-defying mixtape compiled and mixed by the label head. An ode to the all-consuming pursuit of rarefied oddities and oddball sonics existing as an introductory look into the Sleeper Tape ethos. 

Physical tapes now available at https://sleepertape.bandcamp.com/album/ballads-for-entropy .

EDITION OF 60 - NO REISSUE

Ballads For Entropy [SLEEPCS001]

Here is a live recording of my latest set at the HER Music Room which is situated in the heart of Naarm/Melbourne. Cowboy movements as always but on this occasion I decided to dive into my collection of (mostly) House-adjacent records while flying the Natty Select flag - I hope you enjoy listening! Get it!

Live From The Music Room W/ Natural Selection Records [21.01.23]

Here lies my closing set from this year's edition of Bass River; a friends & family style gathering taking place a couple of hours out of Melbourne over the first weekend of February. Expect my usual antics with the (now official?) Bass River Anthem to shut it down - big love to all who joined in the dance for this one!

Bass River '23 (Closing Set) [04.02.23]

Melbourne-based label Sleeper Tape presents an hour of deftly-woven oddities from across time and space. Excursions into the obscure with a darkside edge.

Sleeper Tape 010423

Originally released via Bandcamp and select record stores, 02/06/23.

...at first it was a miracle, a discovery set to thrust mankind into a new age of heightened efficiency and connectivity unlike anything seen before. But before long, it became the greatest threat to all we knew. They split the atom, and beneath it, the Earth began to crack... 

...they rose from deep within the dregs, a mire of ash and long-stagnant molten steel, and stared in horror at all that remained. With Vanity Lab at the helm, the undead are made to move to a demented collage of muddied tape jams, frenzied analogue freakouts and cyborg electro cuts pulled from beneath the motherboard - all the range across the sonic landscape of this unruly new world... 

Newcomer Vanity Lab presents a double-sided mixtape for Sleeper Tape's third edition, which is presented as a commentary on the horrors of nuclear advancements in the modern age. A timely reminder of mankind's propensity for self-destruction, Vanity Lab seeks to paint a bleak alternative to the current timeline - a reality in which the world was plunged into nuclear fire at the conclusion of the modern arms race. However, what remained was more than just a mire of soot and rebar, but a new society whose members became bound to a half-life of hedonism and depraved dance.

Sleeper Tape For Netil Radio [21.09.23]

I was fortunate enough to close the first edition of 'Deep Spring' - a friends & family/grassroots-style outdoor festival which took place within rural Victoria across the first weekend of October. This was some of the most fun I've had playing in quite some time (although I always enjoy myself thoroughly) but it doesn't get much better than tearing through your favourite music whilst playing to the best crew about. The foot was firmly on the floor for this one as I ripped through many shades of House, Techno, Electro, UK bits, Icelandic Trap and more to a crowd of super receptive headz. Lots of love to Miles and Sam who made it all possible (of @spacedistheplace fame), the impeccable roster of knockout DJs and the wonderful friends who danced along for the final sequence. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed letting it all out. Xx

Live From Deep Spring '23 (Closing Set) [07.10.23]
