I'm still trying to get used to this generations music. I still can't believe that 3 and a half minutes of song is too long. This mix made me work hard on the CDJ 1000s. It contains tracks like:

Alex Gaudino - Destination Unknown
Alesso v Avicii -If I Lose Myself Without You
Haddaway v Tiesto - Baby Don't Hurt Me
Kid Cudi v Crookers - Day and Night
La Bouche - Be My Lover
Teriyaki Boys v Sean Paul - Temperature
Daft Punk - One More Time

And the list goes on... Please feel free to listen and turn it up loud.

House | Session 010 (BPM 130)

In 2020, Australia, like much of the world, found itself grappling with the unprecedented challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic. As the virus swept across the globe, the Australian government implemented a series of strict lockdown measures to curb the spread of the virus and protect public health. Citizens faced restrictions on movement, social gatherings, and businesses, adapting to a new normal marked by social distancing and mask-wearing.

The rise of streaming DJ sets became a cultural phenomenon during the pandemic, offering a lifeline to both artists and fans hungry for the electrifying atmosphere of live performances. From intimate home studios to virtual club settings, DJs harnessed the power of technology to broadcast their sets to a global audience. Virtual dance floors emerged as spaces where music aficionados could gather online, creating a sense of unity and shared celebration despite physical distances.

Streaming DJ sets during COVID not only provided an alternative to in-person events but also demonstrated the resilience and creativity of the music community. As the world gradually reopens, the legacy of virtual DJ performances serves as a reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together, even in the most challenging of times. 

Welcome to the "Lock Down Sessions"

NRG | Session 001 (BPM 140)

Even through "Lock Down", the memories of nights linger as a testament to the enduring influence of Hi-NRG music on Sydney's club scene in the '90s. As people continue to grapple with the isolation policy and frustration increases during this period, so does the BPM count.

NRG | Session 005 (BPM 144)

From the end of September, those aged 18 and less living in areas of concern, and areas under stay-at-home rules, can create a 3-person 'friends bubble' to visit each other for play activities. Some of those LGA's that came out of "Lock Down" were plunged back into it. Although the messaging was confusing, the tunes were cranking as we continued in "Lock Down".

NRG | Session 012 (BPM 144)

In late October, NSW reached 80% full vaccination. Because of this, for those who were fully vaccinated, mask wearing requirements, among others, and restrictions on numbers attending gatherings were eased, allowing more people to visit at home, gather outside, and at "controlled" outdoor events. This "Lock Down" Session was recorded as Sydney woke from hibernation. It includes artists from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s with a positive NRG spin. Tracks include

Thriller - Michael Jackson
Please Don't Stop The Music - Rihanna
Say My Name - Destiny's Child
Rolling In The Deep - Adele
Don't Speak - No Doubt
I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry
OMG - Usher
Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
Hey Ya - Outcast
Don't Stop - Kesha
Rewind - Craig David

NRG | Session 015 (BPM 144)

Even though travel between Greater Sydney and regional NSW was not yet permitted, "Freedom' was upon us. It feels like we are coming out of "Lock Down". These mix was recorded closely after "Lock Down" Session 015 and includes NRG remixes of tracks from

Still Dre - Dr Dre
Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom - Vengaboys
Bonkers - Tinie Tempah
Get Your Freak On - Missy Elliot
Boom, Boom, Pow - Black Eyed Peas

House | Session 013 (BPM 132)

The "Lock Down" has now ended. This "Lock Down" session is +1 week after "Freedom Day".

NRG | Session 017 (BPM 144)

The official end of the "Lock Down" Session. This was recorded months after "Freedom Day", all boarders in Australia are open and people are moving around the nation again. This is a 2 hour mix to commemorate the end of "Lock Down". What a ride!

NRG | Session 018 (BPM 144)

Step into the beating heart of Kings Cross nightlife at EP1, where an unrivalled experience awaits. This was an iconic nightclub, drawing in a diverse crowd of music enthusiasts, party-goers, and trendsetters. 

Nestled in the vibrant Kings Cross district, EP1 was a premier destination for those seeking an unforgettable night out in Sydney. Boasting cutting-edge sound systems and mesmerizing lighting, EP1 transforms its space into a sensory wonderland. Whether you're were local looking for your next favourite hotspot or a visitor eager to explore Sydney's nightlife, EP1 in Kings Cross invited you to immerse yourself in the rhythm of the night and create lasting memories in one of the city's most iconic entertainment districts. 

This is the first part of a set of three mixes which is a tribute to EP1, where the night comes alive, and the beats never stop in the vibrant heart of Kings Cross.

NRG | Session 019 (BPM 146)

Some 20 years ago, at the turn of the millennium, Sydney was world-famous for its 24-hour bars and epic dance parties. Sydney was the most lively city in the world where people queued 24/7 to get into clubs - before Nanny State laws closed 176 venues and destroyed its nightlife forever.

Tunnel Nightclub, open in the late '80s by Ibrahim, was accessible from a laneway and championed a 'female majority' policy - a breath of fresh air for women in the pre #MeToo era.

It was rebranded EP1 in the late nineties and early noughties, then Dragonfly from 2004-2010, before becoming Tunnel again and then closing for good as the owners threw up their hands in frustration. This mix is the second part of my tribute to EP1, arguably my favourite Sunday night during its era.

NRG | Session 020 (BPM 140)

House | Session 008 (BPM 130)

In the 1990s, Potts Point and Kings Cross were all about the big night out. When Sydney celebrated, this is where it happened. If the big night happened elsewhere, it was where you inevitably ended up in the wee hours of the morning. Most had disappeared by the 2010s when Sydney’s strict lockout laws made Kings Cross a less attractive destination for revellers. Many have since been redeveloped into residential apartments.

This "Memories Session" is the last mix in the trilogy set dedicated to EP1 Sundays, the best Sunday night in NSW.

NRG | Session 021 (BPM 140)

Some of you may remember One World Sport at the 1800 square metre building located in the Darling Walk Complex at the southern end of Darling Harbour in Sydney. One World Sport was Sydney’s original sports themed venue hosting a variety of functions and events. It was divided into several area with an outdoor terrace, bar, gaming lounge, pool tables, restaurants, and a VIP room. It offered a state-of-the-art audio-visual system including 60 screens televising sports from around the world. 

I’ll always remember One World as being the place we would go without being worried about the door policy. This led to so many great nights and so many new friends in the late 90s and early 2000s.

NRG | Session 022 (BPM 144)

The 'Memories' sessions finally lands at Sydney’s premier nightclub! Yes, there was a time when people queued, in long snaking lines, to get into DCM. The huge DCM site, located at the lower end of Oxford Street, was renowned for its superior sound system, professional lighting and acres of space for uninhibited dancing.

This mix is for the people who love ‘DCM’, who keep the memories alive. Its thanks to you all that this mix came together. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed mixing it 😊

House | Session 009 (BPM 132)

February 2023, the beginning of the end for places like the Daintree and One World Sport. What was supposed to be the mecca for Sydney tourism and entertainment showpiece in Darling Harbour / Cockle Bay. With the anchor tenant (Sega World) gone three years before, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority, began considering various redevelopment options as part of the planned rejuvenation of the precinct. 

This all came too late for the Daintree Café, who had closed earlier in the month after the owner’s business had gone into administration. Here is a throwback to better times in Darling Harbour and what things were like before the precinct was shut down.

NRG | Session 024 (BPM 138)

From spinning beats in the heart of Sydney's vibrant nightlife to savouring the echoes of a legendary era in the 1990s and 2000s, welcome to the world of a retired club DJ. 

As a retired club DJ, the memories linger – the thumping bass, the hypnotic lights, the ecstatic crowd united by a shared love for the groove. From iconic venues to intimate underground spaces, the decks have been my canvas, and the beats, my masterpiece.
