I acknowledge the Meanjin Traditional Owners of the land on which these creations were made manifest in the physical realm. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging as well as the Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may have been here this day either in life or in Spirit.

After picking up a smashing Dastardly Kuts DJ residency at Babylon on Eagle Street in my hometown of Brisbane, I thought I'd take the opportunity to start a new Kut Above Sessions Mixtape Collection.

This is Volume One of the Babylon Sunset Sessions recorded live on Friday the 12th of April, 2024 with vibes of the new and infinite potential of love in my heart.

The last Sessions Collection was released in 2019, way before the World turned upside down with the Covid pandemic, so it feels nice to be back behind the decks and doing what I do best.

After just returning from a year of living on Country and getting reacquainted with the Ancestors, Spirit, Cultural Ritual & Lore, I was a bit rusty on the first couple of transitions in this one, but I soon found my groove.

I am happy with this one and feel it will stan up well against my other Dastardly Kuts live recordings from over the past 20 years in this game.

I'm grateful to be back and feel more ready than ever before to claim my crown as the true King of Babylon.
