In the part of town you come for shitty tourist pubs and Korean karaoke, hidden away in the Spanish Quarter of Sydney is Good God Small Club. A venue I frequent regularly, and find myself getting into various types of trouble a little too often. Once La Campana an old Spanish Salsatech/Restaurant, it was taken over by Jimmy Sing and Hana Shimada one year ago. To celebrate they threw three big parties over the long weekend. These are photos from their Bashment Jam with a massive line up including the UK’s biggest dancehall artist Gappy Ranks alongside Hoops, Guerre, Toni Toni Lee, Kween G & Bad Ezzy, Levins, Kato, Huggz, Max Gosford, Firehouse and more. Gappy Ranks totally merked it, despite the fact his DJ didn’t know how to use CDJs or Serato. Fortunately, Mike was there to save the day.
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.

I really need to get a copy of the first freestyles Just and Lupi did on the radio back when we did a late night show. They were two really hungry, talented high school kids that we got in to spit, while their parents wait to pick them up afterwards. Though that first tape, ‘The Future Is Bright’ is still hella dope, they have come a long way. Here is their latest, still rapping about graff, food and broads. Big love.
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.

Can you tell that Julia is also an architect? Her photos have a wonderful way of highlighting the patterns in man made structures. Earlier this year, when she was traveling Asia, she took a bunch of pictures, which she will be exhibiting at Darlie Laundromatic. It launches Wednesday, September 28 at 6pm with nibbles. If you are part of our Sydney audience, I recommend heading along, not only for the photos, but for Darlie Laundromatic’s mini hotdogs, cheap drinks and the rock ‘n’ roll laundromat thing it has going.
I first heard this one on Kate Jinx’s awesome movie show on FBi Radio, Too Much. I miss Kate. She was once my cubical buddy. Ummm… meaning we shared a work cubicle space. Durrr!
I meant to put these up a while ago. These are drunken photos by Emma mostly of Sonny, Anya and I striking a few poses at FBi’s Winter Prom in July. It was a cracking good party, taking it’s inspiration from all those American TV proms rather than your own daggy formals. Though I was actually king at my formal, it was a chance to do it all again and correct everything that was awkward and horrible at your high school formal. It was amazingly decorated, everybody looked so good and indie cover band – Fan Fixion – weren’t terrible either. In my dreams, this is everything I imagined the Stolen Records Gala Ball to be.
BTW: Emma and Anya are dressed by Dear Pluto, Shantan is mostly wearing stuff from Harajuku Thrift shops, while Sonny is dressed strictly via Five Finger Discount.
Maybe a little overboard with the strings, but this is my understated pick from the Cole World – The Sideline Story album. Listen to the lyrics on this one. In addition, here is a mixtape joint that I have highly esteemed for sometime.
This jam ain’t for everybody. Only the sexy people. All you fly brothers and sisters, break out your ties and formal dresses for the Player Haters Ball. Playing everything from Marvin Gaye to Jigga will be DJs Levins, Joyride and Shantan Wantan Ichiban.
Also the Samoan John Legend, Don Juan Joyride with his band the Accidents will be performing two live sets on the night. First set starting at 12 midnight will be a mix of originals and some covers of new and classic soul. Then later a second set of covers of your favourite R. Kelly jams. Yes you heard right an R. KELLY TRIBUTE SET. Ignition, Real Talk, Vibe, Bump N Grind, I’m A Flirt maybe something from Trapped In The Closet… and so much more. Celebrate with us the insane comedy genius that is Kelz.
Best dressed on the night wins a meat tray and is crowned King and Queen of the first Player Haters ball.
It is all going down Saturday October 15 at Good God Small Club, 53-55 Liverpool St, City.
Has this kind of music got a name? I heard Mike call it post-dubstep-chill-wave. Will I get laughed out of the next music bloggers convention if I repeat that term? Either way, I am rather partial to this sort of thing. Hugo Frederick is a 23 year old from Melbourne that makes beats on his computer. You can get more his stuff on his soundcloud.
