Have you ever wondered what River Dance meets Dancehall Reggae sounds like? How about Gaelic Hip Hop? It’s St Paddy’s Day and I thought we would celebrate our Irish heritage with music.
We also get our gangsta boogie on with a massive set of West Coast hip hop. Plus Joyride comes in to perform a Kelis with the Neptunes Cover, ahead of the Player Haters Ball.
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.
Originally known as DJ Haircut, Mayer Hawthorne was a little side project that he was working on in his spare time. He never took himself as a serious singer, until one day he showed it to Peanut Butter Wolf and the rest is history.
As amazing as his show was the first time I saw him. I did think Mayer Hawthorne was the sort of artist, whose strength was more in the studio than as a super awesome live singer. How things have changed.
Mayer Hawthorne’s voice has really developed, as has his live show. So good.
Gappy Ranks is one of the artists at the forefront of a resurgence in UK reggae music. Not since the 80s and artists like Smiley Culture, have there been English reggae artists that have been able to record hits in the UK, which also received respect and success back in Jamaica. Gappy Ranks however has been changing that.
Not long after his first visit to Australia in September last year, Gappy returned to our shores to merk it once more. Here are some shots from his performance at Goodgod with supports from Hoops, Jimmy Sing & Judgement, Naiki and the African Essence Dancers.
Also I have uploaded one of the tracks he performed. A reggae song about his experience being in Japan when the earthquake hit last year.
Listen: Gappy Ranks – I Was There (Japan Earthquake)
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.

A true romantic at heart (or some may say creep), Millie likes to be creative when trying to catch the attention of a desirable young man. Saying hello is just too conventional (or some might say too confronting). To create intrigue and an air of mystery that a man can not resist, try crafting your own hotel matchbox with the words “Light My Fire” and just your phone number on it, then wait for your opportunity to place it in the bicycle spokes of that hot Surry Hills hipster you have been wanting to talk to. Guaranteed they’ll call (with a restraining order).
Millie is not selfish with her creative works of love. She wants to help you with your love making too. She is selling these cards on this site here or they also available at Surry Hills vintage clothing store Dear Pluto for only $6 each.
It may have been a pretty average summer, but we are bringing the tropical vibes through your speakers. Dancehall Reggae, Moombahton, Bashment Vibes with a special guest mix from Jamrock’s Nick Toth.

From Stockholm to Compton, this was a night showcasing some very unique styles of reggae music from two different parts of the globe. Hailing from Compton Los Angeles, of Hawaiian and Samoan heritage, J Boog brings the island vibes with a very laid back Polynesian soul influenced style of roots reggae. In support of J Boog was Million Stylez. Million was born and raised in Stolkholm, Sweden, and is half Japanese and French. Growing up among mostly migrants he learned to respect different cultures and started experimenting with hip hop at a young age. A little later he discovered reggae music and is now one of the number one dancehall artists in Europe. Together they put on an amazing show, highlighting different sides of reggae music.
