Dark disco, hypnotic techno, progressive house, deep tech, psychedelic - he can throw it all down.

For this mix he takes listeners on a groovy journey through the spheres of deep tech and minimal house. Tune in and enjoy!

The TOASCAST is back! We've decided to get our butts into gear and upgrade our toaster, discovering a new and improved model which will toast one mix a month for you to enjoy. Sounds like delicious cooked bread! 

Meet Ben Kennedy, who brings us the recipe for Volume 31. He is from Dublin, Ireland and has been living in Australia for 3 years. Ben has always had a huge passion for music. It started off by playing the guitar and drums as a kid and later transitioned into electronic music where the urge to learn how to DJ began. 

Ben has been DJ’ing for just under a year now and has had the pleasure of playing at Circus, Killing Time and a few other bars and clubs on the Southside of Naarm / Melbourne. 

Over the last year he has built up a fairly hefty vinyl collection with his main goal moving forward to play records all around Melbourne and share his love for house music.

His mix for us is a tasty one, perfectly toasted and garnished with spreads like house, breakbeat, acid and even some trancey elements thrown into the mix. Now that's some good TOAST!

Volume 33 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by long time friend of the crew, JUGGY. 

Chris (aka JUGGY) has probably been to every single one of our events - always supporting the crew, and never missing a beat on the dance floor. After being a longtime punter, Chris took to learning the art of mixing during lockdown, and along came JUGGY. 

JUGGY has found his musical niche in the realms of deep, minimal and micro house. He loves hunting down these tracks from producers around the globe, recently linking up with a handful of local legends who share a similar passion for these deep and groovy sounds. 

His mix is expertly crafted and ebbs between micro and deep house, with a little tangent into breaks. That's enough from us though, we'll let the music do the rest of the talking. Enjoy! 🍞 xx

Volume 19 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by Sydney-based selector, Cricket. 

Cricket is fairly new to it, having only taught herself how to DJ over the last year - though you certainly wouldn't know listening to her mix. After travelling through Europe in 2018, she amassed a huge collection of vinyl and has since been obsessed with spinning wax and producing with Ableton. 

She loves unearthing unknown content and merging genres, bringing into play her musical roots in jazz, and fusing it with house, techno, afrobeats and disco. She’s a bedroom producer who samples her own collection, and now exclusively DJs vinyl in livestreams and gigs. She loves creating bouncy vibes that are boog. 

Her TOASTCAST is deep, melodic, percussive and rhythmic. She's meticulously selected her tracks to create an expansive, pumping journey which teeters through deep house and D&B, with ambient, uplifting vibes to transport listeners to a happy place. 

Tune in and enjoy xx

Volume 20 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by our brother from the Red Moon Tribe, Mico. 

A wedding DJ from Calgary who came to Melbourne in November 2018, Mico discovered underground dance music culture here and soon after co-founded the Red Moon Tribe and Renegade. 

After running a slew of heaving parties around Melbourne Mico started mixing electronic music, and over the last year he’s been experimenting with different styles along the deep and progressive spectrum. 

His party starting expertise has landed him slots at Revolver Upstairs, Breakfast Club, My Aeon and Burning Seed, and his talent really shines through in his mix for us - a sharp blend of electronica, indie dance, italo, and some cool sounding retro vibes. 

This legend is currently waiting out COVID in Canada but misses Melbourne heaps - he’ll be back as soon as the borders and clubs open up again!

Volume 21 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by Dan Kearney. 

Fresh to the craft of DJing, Dan has spent the past six months of isolation pouring himself into his new controller as a way to pass the time and learn something new.  

His hardest lesson was learning to work past the ego of trying to achieve perfection, knowing that the magic often happens alongside the chaos of experimentation. 
 
While often frustrating, especially when comparing himself to friends who have been playing a lot longer, Dan now knows to see every one of these iterations as a progression on the last, and each new mix however flawed, as a snapshot of his understanding at the time. 

For his TOASTCAST Dan has featured funky selections across his favourite genres that really resonated with him during lockdown, while having as much fun as possible along the way. He couldn't be more appreciative of the opportunity to share this and hopes that you all enjoy the mix!

Christmas has come early this year with The PDC gifting us Volume 22 of the TOASTCAST 

The PDC’s passion for electronic music was ignited, like many, in Melbourne’s indie/electro scenes of the late 2000s. A few years living in Amsterdam in the early part of the last decade exposed the PDC to the real meaning of deep house music. 

Upon returning to Melbourne, PDC discovered the city had a burgeoning scene with access to key underground DJs from abroad. The Australian techno dream is that of endless beaches, space, and freedom in the bush, combined with soulful sounds of the underground.

An avid wax enthusiast, The PDC sees vinyl records as the heritage of the spirit of house music, to be rediscovered and shared at intimate, smaller, less dusty parties. The process of stumbling on a sound outside the algorithm driven space of the world wide cyber cloud keeps the glowing embers of countless bygone underground scenes alive.

Volume 23 of the TOASTCAST is brought to you by Sami

An avid trance lover and integral member of the TOAST community, Sami has been helping us behind the scenes since our very early days of running events. In all honesty, many of our parties wouldn’t have been possible without the help of this legend. Sami has been around the world of electronic music for years but never learnt how to DJ until lockdown. 

Over the New Year, the TOAST crew had the pleasure of helping to organise and curate the line up of a new boutique music festival held in Gippsland - MOTION. As Sami had been honing his craft through the course of 2020, we knew this was finally the time to get him on for a set, and booked him to play the closing slot of the festival’s opening night. 

For Sami’s TOASTCAST we’re stoked to present his live recording from MOTION 2020 - strap yourselves in for an hour and a half of peak time trance bangers brought to you straight from the bush 🍞 xx

She recently launched her own radio show, Citrus on FBi radio,  94.5fm, broadcasting Saturday nights from 10pm - 12am.

Her mix is a contrast of deep, crunchy sounds and some more uplifting cheeky stuff that she hopes will put a smile on your face. Enjoy!
