Got a taste for something a little heavier? London producer/DJ Joker has been out here, drinking chai tea, hitting the gym with A-Trak and playing table tennis with Benga. Besides that he also been doing a bit of DJing on the musical traveling circus Parklife. Here is a mix to get you hyped for the remanding cities on the tour – Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney.
Listen: Joker – The Vision (Let Me Breath) ft Jesse Ware | Buy Me
Listen: Die & Interface – Bright Lights ft William Cartwright (Rockers Remix) | Buy Me
Oi blood! This weeks show was heavy. London Producer/DJ genius, Joker takes time out from hitting the gym with Benga and A-Trak to play a mix for our show. Out here for Parklife, Joker totally killed it in Melbourne and Perth. Tonight he gave us a taste of what you may expect from him in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney.
In addition, we are joined by Burn City’s 360. Just ahead of the release of his album ‘Flying & Falling’, we talked a little about the release, battling close friend Anecdote and the rapper tag phenomenon.
Also lots of music… This is a show not to be listened to on shitty laptop speakers. Hook it up to a system and play it loud.

I was at Parklife last year in Brisbane for work and as the other Lacoste wearing brown person in Queensland I kept getting mistaken for Mehdi at various pre-festival parties. As ridiculous as it was I was thinking if I could pull off a French accent, I could really clean up here. Later I did a brief interview with Mehdi, and ended up bumping into him a couple of times over following week or so. Though my encounters were brief, he really did come across as that good natured, good humoured person that you hear about from so many of the people that knew him well.
Last week when I heard the tragic news, I started going through the Mehdi stuff I had and collecting a few other bits. I ended up putting together this mix for the show, playing some of his older hip hop production, newer hip hoppy stuff, remixes and some of the original tracks he sampled. I am sure there are some better tributes other there like this one from Feadz and this hip hop mix by Abcdr du Son, but even so this is our hommage.

For a better insight into his character a number of the people that have been touched more personally by Mehdi have written some very heartfelt tributes.

And more locally, our friends, Levins speaks of his experiences with Mehdi at yolevins.com and Nina Las Vegas writes about Mehdi on the Mix Up blog.

While a many folks seem to be losing interest in the DMC championships, Redbull Thre3style appears to be a competition which tries to get away from the DJ Nerdery that goes over the average punter’s head. In it’s first year in Australia, this tournament puts more of an emphasis on crowd rocking. These are some pics from the NSW Heats of Sampology (who helped judge and DJed at the end) and myself. The night was won by Typhonic, but our very own Mike Who? was a very close second.
Here’s a Caribbean, Wobble-Hop mix from Sampology on triple j Mix Up…
