Shady Lady Brews

Words can not begin to describe all the feelings that the Crop Psycles Collective stir up within me, even as I type an uncontrollable smile has erupted on my face! Each and every member shines in their own special way as they share their knowledge, skills, humour, playful vibes and unconditional kindness with each other and the wider community.

I am beyond thankful for the time and energy invested by all of the crew over the years to continually create cosy welcoming spaces for all to enjoy...Always inspired by the creativity, in awe of the presision tarping - truly a sight to behold! And now humbled by their hospitalitea this particular weekend as I accepted an invite to play music as well as many many games!(The mini golf tale of kismet is one for the books!)

There is no denying the ripple effect from the epicentre of this crop cluster and the good they are doing with their precious time on Earth is just so damn impressive it makes me feel like one lucky gal to be in their orbit!

Introducing…Déjà Brew!

A set lovingly prepared for Earth Frequency Festival 2021 

Back to the scene of the panic attack, another year older, bolder, wiser and yet still aware I’m barely scratching the surface of what’s possible in this space

Wholeheartedly welcomed the change of season and loved the winter fashunnnn expressions roving around like free range art on display to the world

What an honour and privilege it is to be able to gather, to dance, to play, to smile, to bypass small talk entirely and get straight to the good stuff! The banter flows effortlessly into philosophy pausing only for puns or taking off on tangents led by curiosity or passion 

We have evolved to be playful by nature, that is exactly how we learn best from childhood as we develop our cognition, motor skills and sense of the world around us but all the way into adulthood it’s how we bond with other humans, unwind and manage stress

To receive the benefits of play we need to be in a relaxed state and there is nothing I find more soul nourishing than being out amongst nature surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of others who heard the same calling

Each and every one of these tracks has stirred or soothed my soul and I am beyond thankful to the original artists for bringing the rhythmic remedies into my life - See below for full list ❤

This just in: She sells "Tea Shells" by the seashore 🐚✨

What an honour it was to play music I love by the sea inside a kitty cat shaped sculpture hand crafted by local artist Leon Rhodes as part of SWELL Sculpture Festival 2021.

Had so much fun putting this set together feeling into the seaside vibes and playful feline energy...It was an absolute dream to combine these two highly valued and frequently worshiped aspects of my existence and the backdrop was perfection 😺✨

As always giving thanks to the original creators of the sonic sorcery that stirs my soul and feels at home in my heart 💙

Good Feels House Mix

The evolution continues...as does the rain!

Opening night at Wonky Town was a vibe and a half, the space was a wonderland begging everyone to come play full to the brim with games, interactive installations, a cosy lamp lit lounge and all sorts of other shenanigans 

It was an honour and a privilege to play on a purpose built stage compliments of the festival and Fulcrum Designs in lieu of Sheila no longer being with us - May she forever rest in bass...

Also worth noting for full transparency and celebration of my musical journey that it was my first time performing live directly on the decks sans laptop and controller which was a whole new world in terms of convenience but all wrapped up in the kinda nerves I thought were behind me

Looking forward to continuing the learning process, experimenting with the weaving and manipulating of sound drawing inspiration from those in the know around me and as always with the highest level of gratitude and respect for the original creators

There is a lovely quote about art and how it is the way we choose to decorate space, with that considered then naturally music is how we can decorate time...This conjures up thoughts and visions of being some kind of metaphysical interior designer of sorts?!
.
.
.
It pops into my mind often as I think about curation for any given event or opportunity to share the music that I love, I think of the physical space, those who will likely seek it out and the kind of experience they might like to have depending on time or circumstance...
.
.
.
When given the honour to warm up the stage for Opiuo, Jordan Dennis and Mood Swing & Chevy Bass at The Princess Theatre last month I felt a lot of feelings! First there was excitement, pride and shock which was closely followed by fear, harsh self judgement and doubt all tainted by a solid dose of impostor syndrome.
.
.
.
But when I stepped outside of my mind for a minute I genuinely knew that I could do it, I had all I needed to set the tone and style the evening decorating both time and space thanks to the beautiful music that had already found it's way to me. 
.
.
.
Now on the other side of the experience I am pretty damn proud and so so grateful for all the friends who made the extra effort support me in their own special way whether it was during the lead up, in the flesh on the night or the days and weeks that followed as I reflected on it all 
.
.
.
I have since enjoyed so many rich conversations about the art of performance from those in the know farther along the path than I am now. It has provided me with comfort, perspective and hope for the future as I anticipate a greater sense of ease to eventually be possible for me on stage.
.
.
.
As always my deepest most heartfelt thanks to the original creators of the tracks selected for this offering, each and every one of them has been recognised by my soul as the medicine it needed at any given time...an inner intelligence at work that is far beyond the scope of my imagination but much appreciated all the same.

DRAGONFLY - TUMBLEWEED HOUSE & PRAIRIE BLUES

Becoming a regular stage warmer for the Mood Swing & Chevy Bass Block Parties has presented a good excuse to get out of the house and share some much loved tunes of a slightly funkier variety alongside dear friends and some incredibly talented international acts...
.
For this instalment we gathered at The Triffid and the brief was to begin the moment doors opened and warm up the space by toeing the line of a vibe that begs the question "Should we get a drink?" or "Should we have a dance?" then handover to the rest of the funky little relay team assembling for the eve. Shout out to Jamie Forest, Father Funk, Clitoverse, Djonn, Wilma, Sharif D, The Freshmaker, The Sponges and of course MSCB.
.
I count my blessings to have these opportunities to express myself and connect with others through a mutual love of the music that we can't help but move and groove to, the kind that makes us feel, helps us heal and above all else connect with ourselves via the rhythms and melodies that feel at home in our bodies for reasons far beyond our understanding.
.
As always all my thanks goes to the original creators of each and every track stitched into this offering now and forevermore etched in my memory as belonging together 🖤

~ Sweet dreams are made of tea and who are we to disagreeeeeee? ~
.
.
.
There is one thing we can all agree on, and that is Shady Lady brings a unique blend of soul and authenticity to the table. Her cup is filled with what has historically been described as "movement medicine" containing "Les notes qui font du bien" (The notes that feel good) with a hefty dash of eastern influenced bass, nostalgic treasures from the past and reminders of the natural world that can't help but wrap you up with a warm embrace.  
.
.
.
Her live offerings take you on a journey…in the beginning all sultry and smooth but then buckle up before you start travelling comfortably in the mid tempo lane because after that you’ll be picking up pace. Before you know it you’ve swerved into to funkier and frothier territory and all of a sudden those gentle sways from the start become a distant memory and there might not be any coming back!
.
.
.
A Shady Lady set gives the audience the time and freedom to find their inner groove, to express themselves and explore new moves...and if at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and chai again! 
.
.
.
The experience (often accompanied by a deeeelish tea service mid set) has been enjoyed at Earth Frequency, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Grounded Permaculture Gatherings, West End Fire Fest, SWELL Sculpture Festival, Elements, Island Vibes, Modifyre and Initiation just to name a few as well as many a Wonky Queenslander event being a dedicated resident disk jockey and pineapple counter 🍍✨
.
.
.
Most recently she has found herself an opening act niche setting the tone and warming up the stage for the likes of Opiuo, Jordan Dennis, Mood Swing & Chevy Bass, Father Funk, The Sponges, B'Rock'n Radley, WBBL, Rumpus, Tha Fun Police and Butterz with whispers of more collaborations and opportuniteas on the horizon 🫖
.
.
.
So if this sounds like your cuppa tea then be sure to keep your ears open for all that is yet to be in store on this shady adventure into the unknown!
