Humans of Armadale: Corrina Smart

Jean Perkins is a quite tired Cott mum of two, who tries to swim more days than not and likes to chase extraordinary sunsets. After being hit by some major life hurdles, she got sick of being stoic and decided to help push a positive campaign for a local skate park.

In Jean’s story, she embraces the changes that life threw her way. This leads her to a local skate park in Cottesloe – a skate park that gathered the whole community.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
Swanbourne Story Tracks is a collection sharing community stories of personal connections to the areas between Freshwater Bay, Lake Claremont, and the Indian Ocean. These stories were produced in partnership and made possible by generous funding from Town Team Movement and Project Mooro. Storytellers participated in a series of workshops where they worked with our specialist story trainer, Colin Archibald, to craft first-person narratives about their memorable experiences living in this neighbourhood or moments collected while passing through these streets in their lives.

In this collection, you will hear live recordings from five unique voices sharing personal stories of connection to place and community.

I got to play around with some tracks on Sunday night at The Industry Link event and loved the track selection I ended up going with, so I had to recreate it.

Here's a 1 hour mix of house and UKG that I would describe as a journey of the sounds I love most. The first 20 minutes is house, the rest is UKG.

House & UKG Mix

Strip it back to the raw. HRR gets a thrashing through the decks then add synths, rework, not just vinyl crackle, needle drags, and tight scratch routines that cut the night into shreds. Pure flex. For crate diggers, late-night loop heads, and anyone who knows a baby scratch from a crab.

Dark trap satire with staccato brass, glitchy scratch FX, and a warped inner dialogue. Zane’s chasing dopamine, logic’s gone, and he’s banking piss for profit. A twisted bounce with deep bass and broken brainwaves.

Shame

just messing round with my turn tables for fun if I sampled ya shit and ya want it down just let me know.
