Massive. From when the doors open at 11pm the venue was packed out with punters keen for some dutty dancehall reggae. With a DJ line up including Dynamite Sound, Basslines, Nick Toth, Ability, Levins and Shantan Wantan Ichiban, it was the first time I had seen a lot of there thing for a while, and everybody absolutely murked it.
So as promised i have come through with my second podcast from the South American Continent. I have been here close to 5 months now so i am actually a month late on this one, but hey i got employed, and also started teaching English classes in the hood. To reedeem my broken promises of bi monthly podcasts i made this one longer. This podcast is heavily rooted in hip hop in which Chile has a massive history, it also touches on, funk, disco, broken beats, tech house and bass music. There was not nearly enough time to touch on cumbia, dancehall, reggae and the more 4×4 based sounds coming out of chile. This podcast was super hard to narrow down. All tunes and production come directly from Chile. This is by no means even a look into the depth Chile’s rich musical history or current output, but merely a snapshot into my crates and tunes i love from Chile. Enjoy and please share with any Chilean fam or friends abroad.
Saludos, Mike Who.
Today Mixtape Mondays gets a little nostalgic. I decided to post Dj Moto’s Club Joint 3.5 all the way back from 1999. Moto recently put this up on his page and memories flooded back. First things first before 90’s/2000’s Rnb/hip hop anthem sets were staple in every sydney club and before fools with popped collars requested “old school music”, Moto and the club joint fam did this all, over ten years before with wax and more flare and skills than the majority of sydney dj’s would dream of having. Even though in high school i was nerding out on golden era 90’s boom bap these tapes blew me away and jiggy was inescapable back then. I remember stealing the club joint cd’s from my sisters older friends cars and trying to figure out how they rocked doubles. I also remember all the lawsuits with the club joint mix c.d’s and how they built their brand off those tapes. I’m sure purists will hate but but anyone that can make tapes with Beyonce/Ras kass/ Mariah and Nore in the same ten mins work have my props. These dudes all had/ still have serious skills and played good tunes as well as jiggy stuff. Download this, go to Moto’s page and look for any other club joint tapes while your at it. Respect.
Dj Moto- Club Joint 3.5 (1999)
Some Freeloads because i’m nostalgic and generous.
Way back when all Australian’s knew how to do at concerts was mosh and crowd surf inappropriately to everything, I remember seeing Beastie Boys at Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion, just after Hello Nasty was released. It was an amazing show as the group played as a band performing their really diverse catalogue. Amazing.
They are a group that has reinvented themselves again and again over time. Never staying still. They way were the group that helped to expose hip hop to white kids, but through the years also introduced hip hop kids to punk, bossanova, funk, country and much more.
Rest in Peace, Adam Yauch a.k.a. MCA. This our tribute to the Beastie Boys put together by DJ Naiki

This is the one night where Sydney’s finest Sound Systems will join forces within the walls of the Goodgod Danceteria for an unmissible night of Dancehall Reggae!
It’s set to be an outrageous soundclash party that is expected to reach a heated Caribbean fever pitch when that clock strikes midnight. When the best of the best get together, the writhing cluster of jumping bodies will follow!
Prepare to get sweaty wet on the floor for a night of dancing so dirty it would make Nicki Minaj blush. Expect the best of the old and new tropical riddims!
ALSO…Get ready to dagger! And win yourself some VYBZ KARTEL STEAK KNIVES in their certified daggering competition!
Highlight of the night would have to be the running man competition. Grown folks in the middle of the circle dancing their hearts to the sounds of MC Hammer like they were 14 again.
It was definitely a night full of 90s nostalgia. Many punters coming dressed to the theme having rummaged through the back of their closets to find an outfit they may have worn more than 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the DJs pumped out rnb classic after classic to a packed Danceteria at Goodgod Small Club.
Thanks to all that came and made it a massive night. Congratulations to Callum our Running Man Champion of NSW and Lilybeth the winner of our Westcoast Cooler and Passion Pop hamper for best dressed.
Mixtape mondays week 2, i didn’t flake out. It was kind of a no brainer for me to take one of Paul Nice’s tapes for this week. He has been one of my biggest influences for years. Immaculate taste in music, skills to boot and killer production. I am still angry at myself for missing him spin at O-ii-shi all those years back. I have listened to most of his tapes and can safely say they are all jems. This 70 mins of soul soaked goodness should make your monday just that little bit more bearable.
Really going to try and make Mixtape Mondays a reality now that i am on regular nightshifts over here. Every Monday i plan to post a new mix i have been feeling, or a nostalgic jem from the past. Freeloads will obviously join in for the fun. Being self indulgent i thought i would kick things off with a new mix i finished a week back for Sydney don Shan Frenzie’s radio show Groove Therapy. I hate this mix because i spent too long finishing it, but you might not. The mix runs through a bunch of different tunes old and new and a few of my own cheeky edits thrown in. Enjoy!
Break out your Cross Colours, Malcolm X caps and your mustard Keppers because this Saturday we are doing a party at Goodgod that will be just like the Blue Light Discos of your youth, just without the Bombers trying to steal your Reebok Pumps.
Big DJ line up playing 90s and 80s R&B/Hip Hop Hits. Plus there will be a running man competition where you can win this signed* photo of Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopez.
On top of that best dressed on the night wins this Hamper including West Coast Cooler and Passion Pop.
To get you warmed up here is a mix from DJ Yelo Magic…
