Live @ Stranger pres. Recondite

For full recipe and tracklist head to >>> https://skylab-radio.com/shows/cook-it-e3


It's not so much of a mix, as it's more of a collection of songs I love to listen to whilst cooking. A lot of favourite tracks from my childhood that I used to hear coming from the kitchen or when we used to have family cook-ups, and a bunch of stuff I discovered myself over the years that just seemed to click in the kitchen. Cooking is a form of meditation for me, besides the car, it's the only other time I can actually properly listen to music.

big love to Tess, Hugo and Skylab Radio for keeping the dream alive.

Music

Rainbow Serpent 2017

hndsm's  set from IV, he didnt want me to put it up just incase mum saw that he was away at a festival and not at space camp. 

pretty rough, lots of quiet. that's what happens when you spend more time building the festival instead of building your set. 

oh well. enjoy it or hate it. it doesn't bother anyone.

Inner Varnika 2017

A story told at length

an interview to go with it

Kale lover, cat lover. Promoter, DJ. Festival organiser, builder. There certainly aren’t many doubts on what The Vanilla Prince, aka Louis McCoy can achieve. Having been around the traps more times than worth mentioning, McCoy is a name many can relate to. Whether it’s dancing ’til the early hours at one of his Out Of Focus parties, having a drink at one of the bars around Melbourne he’s helped build, or even transcending into deeper states of being at his Inner Varnika festival, there’s always fun to be had when McCoy is involved.

You’ve recently started your own religion, can you tell us how that came about and what it stands for?

Basically it’s all the fundamentals of an ancient samurai cult with a hedonistic spin.

That’s all I’m allowed to divulge at the moment.

You’ve been tagged ‘the builder of Inner Varnika’, what other things do you build?

Relationships and bridges, as well as half of Melbourne’s bars, nightclubs and restaurants with a few stage productions on the side.

You’re extremely short. Is this a byproduct of human genome testing?

Scientifically speaking, I’m not human. My parents were beavers, that’s were I get my building skills. I was chosen to integrate into human society because I was so tall. After I started playing records they disowned me and years of research down the drain. Now Justin beaver is the leading researcher into the human genome.

How would you describe your relationship with 1 mg cigarettes?

One sided.

Is music as important to you as food? What is the relationship between music and food to you?

I’ve learnt that you can’t eat music but you can hear food. For example the symphony of a traditional Italian bolognese is comparable to Bach’s 5th in so many ways, metaphorically and logically speaking.

If you were stuck on a space ship orbitting Mars for 2 years and you only had one thing to eat, what would it be?

A Reuben from Kat’z deli in New York.

Or.

A kale smoothie.

BREKSTACY

Louis McCoy, aka hndsm, possesses an audio résumé and reputation as a selector and curator that certainly does precede him. A founding member of the Inner Varnika Music festival and organiser of the now defunct yet legendary Out of Focus parties along with his present day involvement with the burgeoning Common Ground platform and newly established mix series, For Home Use Only, Louis over the many years of playing and holding events has etched out his own audio space in the collective memory of Melbourne’s dance community, quickly becoming a principle mainstay and purveyor of fine bounce espousing the principles of groove and flavour.

Unearthed from Melbourne’s inner Western suburbs, Lou from a early age developed an unhealthy penchant and love for electronic dance and rhythm which naturally escalated within him a strong desire to contribute and imbue Melbourne’s underground community with his own distinct, creative and broad perspective on what it requires to incite a dance floor.

A serial party starter and highly skilled technician behind the turntables, and as a result of being exposed to such wide array of electronic signatures, Louis has developed that highly sought after skill of being able to furnish any context with the appropriate vibe in order to create the required experience.

Under his many guises, aliases and incarnations ranging from Neptunes Trident, Lou-is to hndsm, Louis cut his swathe since the beginning of the decade, honing his craft in venues all over Melbourne. From warming up and opening proceedings for international luminaries along with playing local and inter-state festivals, most notably Rainbow Serpent, where he has come to own his market stage slot over the past 4 years, Louis in the process has deliberately developed his own and distinct approach to deejaying underpinned by his extraordinarily wide palate.

A true eclectic and tireless digger, Louis has that rare ability to weave and grind between hip hop, house, drum’n’bass and all things obscure whilst never losing the flow and keeping the narrative intact. A title not bestowed among many, yet fittingly here, Louis McCoy is a “dancers” Deejay.

I respectfully acknowledge the original custodians of the land on which we work, predominantly that of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, and that sovereignty has never been ceded. we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

Louis McCoy
