I've been incredibly fortunate to enjoy a decent swag of bookings at the Sydney institution that is S.A.S.H. @sashsundays over the last six or so years.  In doing so, I've also managed to record a number of them, and here they are!

These are reasonably varied in style: some early afternoon/evening warm-up efforts; some recorded in the disco-friendly 'Maze' at Home; others dish up more of your dancefloor-friendly fodder; another I recorded in the comfort of my own studio during the COVID-era.

There is plenty of content within.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed delivering it!

Andrew Fazz & Brendan Clay Live at Analogue Discogue at Rekodo Restaurant & Vinyl Bar

La musique nous apporte souvent et tellement de choses inattendues, des sensations corporelles, des émotions inexplicables, des frissons et j'en passe.
Cette balade sonore de 45 minutes rend perceptible la profondeur de l'âme ; elle en est l'expression universelle, dépassant, bien au-delà, toutes les frontières de la matière, du temps et de l'espace...


Bonne écoute

Disco Waltons Sunday Service 15/10/23

Behold!  My set from S*A*S*H – from Sunday, 17 August – is now up and available...

Naturally, I was absolutely stoked to have been asked to play at arguably Sydney's biggest weekly event, which boasted a star-studded local line-up and included the bookings of Alex Flatner, Sean Patrick and Nox.

What's more, the S*A*S*H boys were been kind enough to give me a very generous three-hour set, opening the second room from 6 PM.

This was a varied set, featuring some deep numbers up front, with a rather "sunset" housey stanza in the middle, and closing off with some bigger grooves – all around 116-117 BPM, just the way I like it!

I had a wonderful time playing this set, and could have comfortably stretched on another three hours!

Big shouts to the S*A*S*H boys, Cris, Matt and Kerry for having me on.

Hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did!

Live at S.A.S.H. (17th August, 2014)

A preeminent artist of Chicago’s 3rd wave, @AndrewEmil has been a respected fixture and familiar face in its vibrant and diverse music scene for over two decades. A concert-trained percussionist since age 11, Emil earned a chair in his native Kansas City Symphony but eventually moved to Chicago in the late nineties. As a traditional musician, he has worked as a keyboardist, arranger, and orchestrator on hundreds of recording sessions and productions.

Cutting his teeth at the former Chicago Trax Recording Studios,  he crafted a reputation for House Music productions in Chicago under his own name, as well as Broadway & Wilson, and Uptown Tones. Emil's composition and studio productions range from concert works, sound design, and film scores to hundreds of releases of electronic music productions spanning over seventy international music labels.

2012 saw the emergence of his epithet, Change Request, with the Change Theory EP on four play music. This new persona allowed the freedom to explore hybrids of mid-tempo live instrument-focused jazz-dance-fusion.

This mix from Andrew Emil / Change Request has a decided preponderance of his own recent productions. Showcasing his wide musical dialect, sonic palette, and groove leanings, this set illustrates Emil’s aptitude for creating original music productions, useful edits, and masterful rewrites/covers—or what he refers to as “Change Request ReVisions." He even bookends this with two ambient abstract pieces of musical noir.

WHPK Spotlight | Andrew Emil / Change Request

His story is a testament to the evolution of music technology, the relentless pursuit of musical excellence, and the enduring love for house and garage music.

With unwavering dedication, he honed his skills on Soundlab Belt drive Turntables before making the momentous switch to the legendary Technics 1210s. His vinyl collection, amassed over decades, serves as a treasure trove of US House & Garage, UK jungle, and Drum & Bass, reflecting the rich tapestry of electronic music. 

Mikey DJ's musical selection is a fusion of Deep Underground House and UK US Garage, distinguished by its deep and bumpy groove, complemented by soulful vocal elements. Each of his sets is a transcendent journey, designed to awaken the senses and ignite a fiery passion for the beat in his audience.

Pat Lezizmo Inzimix Best Of 2023 (Mastered)

The dust has settled on the last few busy weeks, and I'm finally making my recent solo S*A*S*H mix available—a deeper, warm-up effort in The Den, right before The Fazz and I took things big for the last couple of hours.  (You can grab that one here: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/andrew-fazzolari-brendan-clay-live-at-sash-10th-november-2019)

In delivering this one; I tried to focus on building and maintaining a groove; keeping the room "warm" during the earlier hours, readying it for what was to come.

Within, you'll hear originals from the likes of Frits Wentink, Ari Bald, Luvless, Mangabey, on a selection of labels currently tickling my ears, SlothBoogie, Pulse Msc and Kyoku Records, to name a few.

If this gets considerable love—shall we say, 500 plays?—or a palpable demand of requests; I'll throw up the tracklisting.

'till then, though, sit back and enjoy warming up!  Hope you like!

Live at S.A.S.H. (10th November, 2019)

The Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I were kindly asked to open proceedings at S*A*S*H By Day on Sunday afternoon just passed.  Despite it appearing to be a smoky—and later, a rainy—affair in its early stages; the show must go on... and it certainly did.

We kicked off on the lower, slower, deeper tip, throwing on a selection of sub-110 BPM burners, setting the stage—and warming the floor—for Sondrio, Mo'funk and later... Black Loops!

Within this couple-of-hour-long offering, you'll hear a range of selections from the likes of Tilman, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Frits Wentink, Harold Heath, Jehan and Admin, to name just a few.

Many thanks, as always to Cris, Kerry and the S*A*S*H collective for keeping us in mind—as always, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We hope it warms your day/evening as it did on Sunday.  Hope you enjoy as much!

S.A.S.H. Lockdown Radio Mix (April 2020)

Watch the entire four-hour effort here: https://vimeo.com/459221923

---

There are few phone calls we enjoy receiving more than those from Cris at @sashsundays.  A large, red, circled calendar date typically follows the conversation, accompanied with resulting excitement in preparation for our next S.A.S.H date.

Whether demanding a sweaty, pumping late-night/early-morning shift in The Den, the lower, slower, disco vibes in The Maze, or a sun-soaked warm-up effort at S.A.S.H By Day; bookings at S.A.S.H quickly become personal highlights and are always, always subject for excitement.

Well, we received this very call a couple of months back which came with a comforting indication: "once we're back; you're back."

With the ever-evolving situation that we call 2020; we have little doubt that the call came with an expectation that we'd be "back" in the saddle by now.  While that's not (yet) to be; we were offered a unique opportunity in the interim:

Back in September, we were—quite literally—handed the keys to the kingdom by Marley for the purpose of throwing down another edition of S.A.S.H's Sunday stanza for its Lockdown Radio series.  (And what a sweet space to spend an afternoon, it must be stated!)

We approached this as an opportunity to build our own theoretical S.A.S.H By Day composition—albeit, a condensed rendition of four hours—beginning with melodic, deeper vibes as a "warm-up", and running through deeper house, dashes of disco, with some top-drawer signature S.A.S.H-esque chuggers towards its conclusion.  Two parts Attic, two parts S.A.S.H, and plenty in-between.

This particular hour is the very first—more of a warm-up effort containing a selection of more off-the-grid, Attic-flavoured tunes from a line-up of "usual suspects".

While you're no doubt spoilt for choice with DJ mix content online nowadays; we hope that this offering will quench your thirst for all things S.A.S.H in your lounge room or office, in preparation for a time we're all back together on the (real) dance floor before too long.  And how sweet that will be.

S.A.S.H Lockdown Radio Mix (September 2020)

Bookings/Contact: https://www.brendanclay.com/contact/

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!
