The hipsters can have hip hop, I am taking Rock N Roll. It seems like everybody is trying to do hip hop parties in Sydney. The game is over saturated. So while I play rap for people that book me, I am trying to do something different with my nights.

Some Dirty Ditties & Mashed Potato Photos

I didn’t think they made dirty songs like these in the 1950s. I thought married couples slept in seperate beds and you would get stoned in the town square talking like this.

I am there trying to work out if the ‘Drill Daddy Drill’ song is just innocent, until I hear the line “set up your drill in the middle of my field” and “If the well runs dry we will use another hole”. It reminds me so much of Lil Wayne’s “Miss Officer” and R. Kelly “The Zoo”. Take a bad metaphor and just keep those shamelessly terrible puns coming.

I am going to be playing a set of more XXX 50s Rock jams at our Rock N Roll and Soul party, Mashed Potato, this Friday at Hollywood Hotel. Here are some awkward photos of people dancing by Dear Pluto’s Emma Daniels.

Giving Jenny Craig a run for their money. It was like if Zumba had a cousin on crack. We are calling it Zumbaton. It is the latest sweaty dance work out, which we tested out at Goodgod for Badonkadonk.

Except for me, who was just playing the same old cheese that I always do, it was a night where DJs got to play stuff they never do anywhere else. Mike Who was going deep on the latin, cumbia, moombahton party vibes. Levin’s was having fun not playing hip hop for once. And Kato was just going ill.

I hope you burned some calories and had a good time doing it.

Player Haters Xmas Ball | Good God | Fri Dec 23

Posted on November 24, 2011 | 1 comment

player haters ball | good god | joyride and the accidents | alphamama | shantan | levins
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.

Video: Mr Clean – Hard Yak b/w Casket

Posted on November 23, 2011 | Leave a comment


Friends or not, there are a couple of awkward looking dudes that I wouldn’t have invited to my video shoot. Even so, dope song, fresh Indonesian batik shirt and a sweet video from one of the best rappers in Sydney to never release anything.

Mr Clean has been around since the mid 90s when he was rapping with Torcha in Etnik Tribe, and appearing on the first Celcius album as Clockwise. He was like the unsigned hype of the time, however, never seemed to get anything out. It is good to see he has still got that hunger and killing it like never before with some help from Colourd Noyz on production.

Listen: Mr Clean – Hard Yak

Oh and by the way the video was shot by our very own Robin Hearfield

Mashed Potato | Hollywood Hotel | Fri Dec 2

Posted on November 23, 2011 | 3 comments

Mashed Potato - Hollywood Hotel
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.

Podcast: Mike Who’s Dancehall, Hip Hop, Latin Farewell! Busdriver Interview & Freestyle!

Posted on November 17, 2011 | Leave a comment

Vodpod videos no longer available.


A sad, but happy affair. For more than a year, Mike Who has been putting in work behind the decks on Stolen Records. Bringing such amazing DJ skills, and a fantastic taste and knowledge of hip hop, Caribbean and Latin music. This was his last show before he moves to the north of Chile. Make sure you are at our going away party for him BADONKADONK at GOODGOD on Saturday.

Also we were joined by experimental indie rapper, Busdriver. What is it about The Good Life/Project Blowed rappers? He did one of the best freestyles we had on the show since we had Aceyalone on our show years ago. That scene of rappers originally based around open mic nights at The Good Life cafe has created some amazing emcees with a free flowing style of freestyle. Listen to this for Busdriver spitting on ‘Niggas In Paris’ and ‘Shutterbug’.

Riff Raff ft Kid Sister – Hide N Seek (Prod. Sinden & 5kinAndBone5)

Posted on November 16, 2011 | Leave a comment

Shantan Wantan Ichiban
Remember when kids would say let’s play hide n seek, but never come looking for you?

One time after school my so called friends at the time, where like “let’s play ‘blindman’s bluff'” (I think it was called). Basically it is played in a restricted area where one kid is blind folded and has to catch the non-blind folded kids.

It was decided I would be in, so they blind folded me, but instead of sticking around to play they sneaked off and went home. There I am shuffling around the playground blind folded by myself, looking for these kids that weren’t there.

George and Jason, if I ever bump into you again I will stab you in the eye with my pinky.
