It was a little controversial and not well received by all. I heard quite a few complaints from women saying – “How can a man win a Dancehall Queen contest?”. However, the majority of the mob decided and Jose took home the much sort after Rum filled Watermelon and was crowned Dancehall Man Queen in our Dutty Dancing Contest.
All together this was an amazing night. The dancefloor stayed packed with bodies grinding the night away to the best of new and classic dancehall reggae hits. Shantan Wantan Ichiban, Basslines and Nick Toth throwing everything they had at the crowd.
Make sure you are back in late November for more tropical riddims and gringos talking patois. Booyakashaaaa!

Mixtape Mondays with the bros from Paper Plane Project. These dudes have just dropped a solid mix paying homage to the electric piano. The mix focuses on current international soul/jazz-infused hip hop and beats all made using their favourite instrument. I remember the first time PPP came through Stolen Records with hype brewing around their first album, since then they have continued to push and evolve their own unique sound, Finishing off a second instant classic album called Miles Apart. Which by the way you can cop on their bandcamp here MILES APART.

Chuuuunes: Listen: Heatwave – War Dance ft Serocee
This Mixtape Monday we rewind to Jeremy Sole’s mind blowing set from Coachella, wish i was there for this. The mix is a live recording so you can get your mind teleport on and pretend you had enough money to go. The mix like Sole’s production and influences cover’s so much ground, genre hopping and uncovering sounds from all corners of the globe with a unique chaos factor that seems to string everything together. Dude has impeccable taste and is a super tight dj. For me this mix was totally inspiring to see a dj spinning whatever the hell he wants and doing it so well. Get your global education class on with this live mix packed full of vibes.
Jeremy Sole- Live at Coachella
Here is a Cumbia inspired Whitney (R.I.P) dubplate from Sole.
Ta-Ku recently released a crunchy album that is definitely showing growth for the Perth based music producer. Have a listen at Hey Justin below, the track is all over the place yet still quite cohesive, going from sweeping synths to drumline loops without missing a beat. After checking that out, make sure to buy the whole thing over at taku.me. At fifty cents a track, it’s a lot of bang for your buck.
Ok so this Mixtape Monday is a history lesson, but it’s a fun histroy lesson that’s not actually that old. Today we’re revisiting one of the most hyped mixes of 2007, Ruckus Robotics The Music Machine Mix, which was awarded Solid Steels best mix of the Year in 07, which is pretty much the mixtape game equivalent to winning a Oscar. The mix itself goes everywhere from the Micky Mouse club to Bow Wow and the Avalanches to LCD soudsystem, all laced together with subtle cuts and playful samples to keep things fun and interesting. The mix is ripped from the Beat Oracle radio show on WCRS, so you will here some chit chat and history from Ruckus himself. Big Ups Beat Oracle for making this downloadable and available to the rest of the world. This mix won’t be for everyone, but for those who can appreciate a dj with serious skills and sense of humor, then this is for you. Ruckus Roboticus went on to release an insanely good album “Playing With Scratches” and continues to blow minds with mixtapes, originals, remixes and edits.
On the menu tonight a mix of latino cuisine, moombahton, trap and some good old fashioned 90’s hip hop when Naiki plays a set of classic East Coast hip hop in honour of Jeru The Damaja, Das Efx and Black Sheep – all touring soon.
