Recorded at Houghton - Michelle (2023)

This session was retrospective at the time that I mixed it, a living room session from 2014 - of music we used to play on the Australian East Coast in the 2000s. 

Here's the story:

I was at home one afternoon 2014. I'd had my first baby, and while I'd been mixing some very fresh minimal using Traktor timecode vinyl, I had not mixed from my record bags for a few years. It felt really good to flip through our favourite records once again. This is a collection of just a few of our most special tracks from our early Motion:Theory:Music years - primarily at our 8 year Saturday night residency at Elsewhere on the Gold Coast from the early 2000s, a night which we started as the club opened - created by the incredible Simmy and Benny.  

The club won 'Best Music for a Club in Australia' at the Sydney Bar Music Awards during our time there when Ben was Musical Director, alongside residents Giv & Audun. We were told our deep underground vibes could not work on the coast, but we remained true to the sound and never played 'down' to the audience, instead bringing an integrity to their flashing dancefloor.

I speak of Ben Abrahams, my musical partner, and father of our 2 boys.  He is one of Australia's early East Coast djs, & is much respected among djs & punters; he coined the phrase 'blurring the line between house & techno'.  Around 2000, he became resident of the infamous outdoor party Earthcore, bringing clubby sounds to the forest ravers, primarily used to trance music.  He had a Saturday night and Sunday night residency at Onesixone that went off' all in the days before social media.  

Most of these tracks we have danced to SOOO many times from 1998 through to 2009, so they effect my body memory intensely. Such memories of epic nights dancing for hours and hours and hours with all my friends; we had such authentic connections, so regularly, and then our intimate group moved onto our house to continue djing all of Sunday. I feel so lucky to have experienced that time. The bongos, the dubby basslines, the clubby vibes, the few super scratchy records, all make me get tingly and emotional.  I used to call the tracks I was drawn to play 'sideways house'.   

Ben played 5 hour vinyl sets every Saturday night for this extended period, and his mastery is well known.  Some of these are Ben's records, but became the basis for my set: stored in my record box. Ben is so clever at combining the best of the old with the new, & our appreciation of music is at the core of our connection, as it is with all our friends, old & new.

Grinding his way into electronic devotees' hearts and ears, Australia’s "Fro" is cementing a brooding Minimal & Deep House notion across clubs through the city of Melbourne and abroad. Fusing palpable global hints in his time from the studio S*A*S*H Sundays. Jett Vella ('98) walks a provocative, European inspired underground house music path, which can be described as top groovy bass lines sitting over skippy hats with off the cuff snares and in turn, enthralling dance floor enthusiasts promising nothing but the most infectious and consistent offerings on the table. 

Dwelling in one of the most renowned House and Tech cities of the world, Melbourne welcomed Fro with open arms. He has locked down enviable guest spots at places including Killing Time Bar, New Guernica, Revolver and S*A*S*H Sundays. Channeling his sonic identity from start to finish, venues across Melbourne are now getting familiar with the Fro. With a healthy dose of that pure underground swing up his sleeve, Fro is out to claim his place in the void amongst the new wave of talent.
