Well, after a sizeable weekend, we can finally make available our recorded set from S*A*S*H By Day at Greenwood Hotel: Andrew Fazzolari—the other half of Attic—and I, opening the afternoon's proceedings.

Of course, just two days before, we'd hosted our second Attic event—with Nachtbraker joining us as our very special guest—so it was fitting and incredibly enjoyable to share the bill with Maurits once again, in the wonderful sunny surroundings of North Sydney on a Sunday afternoon.

This particular mix is a deeper, slower affair: 110–114 BPM melodic goodness; and a fairly decent insight into our musical ethos, and the sound we're pushing for our Attic brand—minus the disco flavours, of course.

Massive thanks to the S*A*S*H crew for the opportunity, and the hospitality over the course of the afternoon.  We enjoyed ourselves immensely and your brand is an absolute credit to our Sydney scene.

So, with that, we hope you enjoy this one, wherever you find yourself on this Friday.

Comments and feedback always welcome!

Live at S.A.S.H. (7th May, 2017)

Refusing to be defined by one musical ethos, a melodic goddess who knows no bounds. Sam brings people together through her infectious love for music. Her ability to read the room & play accordingly has found her with residencies at multiple venues across Sydney & Bondi Beach. 

Reveling through the waves from funky deep house to Nu Disco, whilst remaining acquainted with the raw and minimal sounds from the Cheeky baselines rises Samm I Amm. Vivacious and pronounced in looks and in life, Samm, like her beats, is nothing short of diverse and divine. Her sets will take you on a journey with Remixed Disco sprinkled with  Classic House Anthems. 

Her affection for fun is a vibe that runs prominent and provocative through her listeners. Whether barefoot on sand, or up seven stories with seven inch heels, Sam is intrusive and striking in both her smile and sound.

In the spirit of defecting from the much-maligned third-person bio approach: in short, I am a Sydney-based DJ who specialises in the sounds of deeper house and disco.  I take delight in playing a solid warm-up set and revel in the success of watching a room build around it.

Since making my club debut as a fresh-faced eighteen-year-old at 'Thursday Delights' at the Icebox—a popular trance and hard dance event of the time—I have been lucky enough to play right across Sydney, enjoying bookings at Sounds on Sunday, S*A*S*H, Chinese Laundry, Plastic, Café del Mar, The Burdekin and Candy's Apartment; as well as larger-scale events such as Big Day Out and Harbour Party NYE.

In the process, I've also been fortunate enough to support some of the leading names in dance music—both locally and from around the world—including LCD Soundsystem, Booka Shade, Subb-an, Chymera, Sonja Moonear, Luke Chable, Jasper James, YokoO, Kenny Glasgow, Darren Emerson, Mark Dynamix and Kid Kenobi, to name just a few.

I like to put on the promoter hat, too, hosting and playing at events of my own: 'Attic' being my main project.

Since its inception, the Attic brand has enjoyed success in its standalone parties—for which we've toured renowned house and disco artists, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Folamour and Laurence Guy, to name a few—as well as appearing all around Sydney for invitational takeovers, radio appearances, and exclusive showcase sets.

Away from the club dancefloor, you might also find me playing an extended-length set in a low-lit bar, exercising the deeper, more eclectic selections of my record box—lower, slower and groovy, just the way I like it!

For ten years, I was heavily involved with the Internet radio game, hosting successful programs, 'Friday Night Live' and 'The M Shift'; on Indiesoundz and NSB Radio networks, respectively.  The M Shift, which ran for six years, specialised in breaks, house and drum 'n' bass, and was regularly enjoyed by thousands of live listeners, downloaders, and Podcast-listeners alike.

As above, I pride myself on playing a good warm-up set—added again for emphasis!—and believe it to be somewhat of a lost art form in this current age.

I also don't mind getting in the studio occasionally, but that facet, for now, is still very much a work in progress!

'Attic' is the brainchild of Sydney jocks, Brendan Clay and Andrew Fazzolari; devised as a medium to promote their love for low, slow grooves, thick basslines and loose percussion.

Attic is tailored to those searching for an avenue for deep, soulful, disco-infused and melodically-centric house music.

Fundamentally, its focus is the promotion of quality, hand-picked local talent; while regularly welcoming selectors from around the globe, mirroring its ethos and vision.

To date, Attic has toured/hosted:

• Fouk – January 2017;
• Nachtbraker – May 2017;
• Folamour – November 2017;
• Laurence Guy – March 2018;
• Cody Currie – December 2018;
• Nachtbraker – February 2019;
• Bellaire – February 2019;
• Tilman – March 2019;
• Ethyène – May 2019;
• Bobby Analog – November 2019.

As well as hosting a range of standalone events; the Attic flag has flown proudly all around Sydney for invitational takeovers, radio appearances, and exclusive showcase sets.  The first couple of years of Attic action have been positively memorable; the boys' enthusiasm and insatiable appetite for quality house music continue in full swing...

I've been DJing for over a decade now, and have been lucky to play a diverse range of events, set times, genres and crowds. I'm in it for the music, and the smile on people's face when a tune gets dropped that they didn't expect and gets em dancing. I love a boogie behind the decks just as much too!

I enjoy playing a broad chunk of the electronic music spectrum, and like to incorporate that diversity into my gigs, be it radio shows, extended bar sets, or late night club slots or an after-party sunrise session. Disco, House, Techno and Progressive make me smile the most!

A few highlights over the past few years events wise:
-Potato Head (SG)
-YES YOU (SG)
-Moontanned (SYD/MEL)
-WeLove (SYD)
-Cohibar (SYD)
-Crane Bar (SYD)
-Sydney Seaplanes (SYD)
-The Cidery (SYD)
-Something Else (SYD)
-House on the Harbour (Summit DJs - SYD)
-EGGWORM (JPN)
-Killing Time (MEL)
-T1000 Events (SYD)
-House Society (Host - Bondi Radio)
-The Dig (Orbital Radio - Host)

And had the pleasure of supporting/opening for some of these talented artists over the years:
-Matthias Meyer
-Retza
-Matt Sassari
-Eric Powell
-Dirty Doering
-Robbie Lowe
-Simon Caldwell
-Uone
-Nick Beringer
-Miguel Bastida
-Jason Chance
-Ramon Lopez
-Hernan Cattaneo

Looking forward to sharing a tune and a boogie with you across the dancefloor!
