Ahh, what can I say about this mix? Right before this campout I had gone through a really rough couple of weeks. I lost a really good friend (I love you Brandon aka B Funky) and literally 2 days after their passing, while I was on my bike leaving work, I witnessed a very traumatic fatal pedestrian vs. auto accident in which I was first on scene and felt so helpless. I know that life has its ups and downs but that was a really rough time.

This FnF campout was in my calendar for a couple of months before all this shit happened and I am such a fan and supporter of the FnF events that I was honored & excited to be DJing. But the thing was, my head wasn't in its usual, happy, content space. I felt sad and angry. So I decided that the best way to work it out would be through music with my very accepting, understanding & forgiving FnF community.

This set was recorded live on Saturday night (aka Sunday morning) on September 10 (technically 9/11), 2022 from 3-4am. There are no edits to the live recording aside from a gentle mastering process to bring up the levels, so what you hear is what we all experienced that night. This is probably the darkest set (for me) that I've played in a while. It bumps at around 130bpm and bounces between tech house and techno. It was a cathartic set and I felt like things started slowly making a turn for the better immediately after this campout.

I hope you enjoy.

After reviewing this set list, I want to give two special shout outs: 

1) To Matt Sassari, whom I only discovered whilst shopping for techno for this campout. I played two of his originals in this set but I actually bought quite a few more, I really like his productions and am happy to have discovered a new (to me) artist. 

2) Track 15, "Temporary," was one that I originally purchased for the FnF Summer campout but never played. I forgot about it and then rediscovered it when I was preparing for this campout. Turns out the lyrics were just what I needed at the time:

When the black follows you around
And your dreams turn dark and scary
And the bad news weighs you down
Just hold on it's only temporary...

What an honour it was to play Funkazba's Blazing Swan decompression 'After the Storm'! SO MUCH FUN!

A highlight at this year's Blazing Swan was definitely experiencing my good friends, colleagues and piers unleash the might of Camp Funkazba. It was one of my favourite places to party, hang and I had some incredible highlights there!

Blaze is my church and to be part of the decompression is a privilege.

Missing Pieces 

Trash Panda /  TP077 / Missing Pieces / 2023-11-17

This is my set recorded live at Harvest Festival 2014.  I opened the new tech and house structure built this year, called Crystal 6.  I went for a more happy, melodic, uplifting, groovy and fun vibe with this set, since the weather at the festival had been wet and cold and muddy, so I thought we could all use a little pick-me-up to get the party started.

This version is available for download, as it's the one WITHOUT the fairy tale intro at the start, it just gets right into the music.  Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it.   :)

This summer caught my inspiration in more ways than I can count. "Pressure - ep" is the embodiment of those experiences. It's my interpretation of the feelings and emotions that Ibiza put forth onto me. I hope you enjoy.

No. 39 - Swayze

Music is so much more than sound... it is expression, it is art, it is passion, it is connection... music allows you to feel free, it can rally you for the largest nights, keep you stomping for days, partner you on any journey or comfort you in your darkest times!! Why wouldn't you love music..?

DJing has been a part of his make up since a young age.. first decks on his 15th birthday with a selection of drum & bass records.. he was hooked! Transcending many genres.. Drum & Bass, Garage, Hip Hop, Electro, Funk, Breakbeat, Deep, Tech, Melodic, Bass, House and Disco. 

His hustle has seen him frequent main stage headline slots, hidden tents, art cars, pubs, clubs, street parties, breweries, high end wineries and weddings. This demands an artist be dynamic. Expect Private Pickle to read the rich tapestry of human connection and lead a crowd to a higher frenzy of boogie.   

Today you’ll catch Private Pickle back stage managing festivals alongside Royal Jelly Productions or other West Australian collectives, championing his infectious Pickle’s Pampering festival service, running his own events brand Shaka Events or performing as either Private Pickle or as part of his 3 piece Bunnyjuice bringing together Dj + Percussion + Sax/Harmonica. 

A humbled student of the craft, Private Pickle doesn’t pursue the glitz of starden but shines his own brightness with honouring the sharmanship of bringing a crowd together behind one rhythm that infuses the essence of dance music. 

Competition is fierce so how do you compete? In his view don't focus to compete, look to be true to yourself, true to the sound that soothes your soul and true to the ingrained nature of rhythm and dance! Express yourself how you would wish others to express!! 

“This is passion, my expression, my dream…”

Much appreciation,
Private Pickle x
