Player Haters Xmas Ball | Good God | Fri Dec 23

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | 1 comment

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.

Mashed Potato | Hollywood Hotel | Fri Dec 2

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | 3 comments

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.

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.

Mashed Potato at Hollywood Hotel

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.

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.

Sunday Best: Hau vs Ichiban Soundclash w/ Sonny Syah Performing Live at Ching-a-lings

Posted on September 13, 2011 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | 1 comment

My photoshop skills just keep getting better. This Sunday I am soundclashing Hau a.k.a. Hauie Beast (Koolism/triple j hip hop show) in a Euro trance showdown. Plus one of the best rappers to have never release anything, Sonny Syah will be performing earlier on. He just plays live, because releasing music is for sell outs. Be-lee-dat!

Listen: Koolism – Turning Back | from ‘The Uma’

Also here are some tracks from Sonny’s unreleased, unfinished album ‘The Envelope: An Audio Motion Picture’. He plays different characters in a story of an Envelope that changes hands. I don’t think it will ever be released, so I might as well put up a couple of tracks here.

Sunday Best: R&B Dreamz at Ching-a-lings

Posted on August 17, 2011 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | Leave a comment

Damn! My photoshop skillz are off the chain. I need to start taking design work. So… ah yeah… I do a weekly Sunday party at this fine establishment by the name of Ching-a-lings. It is a nice place for a chilled drink, good music and maybe some light dancing in Sydney. This week it is R&B themed with special guest DJs ANK1A and Wendy Samantha.
