This is the one night where Sydney’s finest Sound Systems will join forces within the walls of the Goodgod Danceteria for an unmissible night of Dancehall Reggae!
It’s set to be an outrageous soundclash party that is expected to reach a heated Caribbean fever pitch when that clock strikes midnight. When the best of the best get together, the writhing cluster of jumping bodies will follow!
Prepare to get sweaty wet on the floor for a night of dancing so dirty it would make Nicki Minaj blush. Expect the best of the old and new tropical riddims!
ALSO…Get ready to dagger! And win yourself some VYBZ KARTEL STEAK KNIVES in their certified daggering competition!
Break out your Cross Colours, Malcolm X caps and your mustard Keppers because this Saturday we are doing a party at Goodgod that will be just like the Blue Light Discos of your youth, just without the Bombers trying to steal your Reebok Pumps.
Big DJ line up playing 90s and 80s R&B/Hip Hop Hits. Plus there will be a running man competition where you can win this signed* photo of Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez.
On top of that best dressed on the night wins this Hamper including West Coast Cooler and Passion Pop.

There is no way this one will not be massive. After a huge R Kelly Tribute and an equally big xmas ball, this time we are paying homage to the works The Neptunes.
The Accidents, led by the Samoan John Legend, Don Joyride, will perform two sets. The first a mix of covers and originals. The second set will be pure Pharrell and Chad bangers from N*E*R*D* to Usher to Justin Timberlake to Britney and so much more.
Any Neptunes jams missed by The Accidents will definitely be played by Levins, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Joyride when they each serve up some Hip Hop, R&B and Soul goodies on the turntables.
Each of these parties has been a sweaty night of loose dancing and folks getting it on with each other. I don’t expect this one to be any different.
Here are a few tunes that will definitely get a play.
Awesome flyer. Though I am not entirely sure it sends the right message. Come Saturday we may have a lot of creepy fishmen seeking a fishy sex party, rather than an epic night of dancehall, hip hop, moombahton, reggaeton, rnb bassline, and other global club goodies.
The first time we did this last year it was an amazing night. The speakers were pushed to their limit with new and old sounds from all over the globe. People danced till they had butt cramps.
We are doing it again this Saturday. Come get epic with Levins, Kato and myself at Goodgod Small Club Saturday Feb 25. We’ve invited some dancers from Dance Studio 101 to come and lead the madness.
Here is a mix to give you a tast of what I will be playing.

The first one was technically a sell out. Well it would have been if we didn’t keep letting people in. This one should be just as big as our resident R&B coverband Joyride & The Accidents, will be sharing the stage with Alphamama.
We paid tribute to R Kelly at the first ball, this time expect a mix of classic and new R&B jams being performed by these two amazing soul outfits. Oh and maybe a couple of originals thrown in.
That is not all folks. Spinning hip hop and R&B on the night are DJs Levins, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Joyride. You know this is going to be a proper party just before the Christmas break.
It is a Christmas party as well so maybe expect a Destiny’s Child style carol or two, and more drunken random hook ups than even the last one.
Listen: Cam’ron ft Juelz Santana – Oh Boy | Buy Me
Hollywood Hotel was actually a perfect venue for this. Though it has a rather awkward dance floor, the place was filled with folks dancing around the small pub in Surry Hills.
Owned by former TV and Movie star of the 1950s, Doris Goddard, Hollywood Hotel seemed an appropriate setting for our Rock N Roll and Soul night. At the last one, Ms Goddard sat at the end of the bar for the early part of the night. Her only complaint, that we were a little loud. High praises from a woman who has been known to pull the power on DJs she disapproves of.
So we are doing another one of these before Sonny and Emma leave to Europe. Expect good music, lots of dancing, attractive hipster girls in rockabilly attire, and I promise Sonny won’t be doing any inappropriate scratching.
Listen: Dion & The Belmonts – Runaround Sue | Buy Me
Mike Who? will be soon leaving us to live in Chile, so we had to throw one last shindig playing all our favourite party tunes. It will be a mix of Dancehall, Reggae, Hip Hop, Global Club, Latin Rhythms and R&B/Soul played by Sydney’s Best DJs (and me). Expect another sweaty, sexy night at Goodgod.
I never get booked to play this old rock n roll and soul. I have a heap of it, but the only way you get to play it out is putting on your own parties. So I am doing just that. Teaming up with Dear Pluto and Sonny Syah, this is bound to have you shaking a tail feather into the wee hours of the morning. You know it is going to be a party.
Don’t want this blog to be too flyer heavy, but I am just too proud of my shitty artwork. Proud as a lion you might say. Umm.. yeah… Sydney crew… here is a little taste of what you can expect at Ching-a-lings if you come down on Sunday.
This Sunday at Ching-a-lings is totally going to be like this. Naiki San, myself and a random cat floating through Shinjuku in a flying saucer shooting lasers out of our eyes. As a little teaser, I thought I would post one of my favourite Naiki mixes from the show. This is a G-Funk vs P-Funk selection from back in 2008. Sorry about my over excited yelling on the mic.
