The Dip! It’s your birthday!

Vodpod videos no longer available.


I will never forget The Dip’s Deep Fried Coca Cola Sundae. It tasted like a syrupy Coca-Cola doughnut and felt like that episode of The Simpsons when Milhouse and Bart have the all syrup super squishy bender.

“We are young, rich and full of sugar, what do we do?”.

“Let’s go crazy Broadway style”.

For a year now, Levins and Bianca have been selling tasty Roo Burgers with pine nut and beetroot amazingness, colourfully named Hot Dogs and wildly experimental desserts from The Dips home at Sydney’s Goodgod Small Club. To celebrate they held a Hot Wing eating contest and produced this Booty Bass Mix.

Better than what you thought, huh? These kids can really rap and sing and write songs. On Sunday folks gathered at Fraser Studios to watch young people as youthful as 14 perform songs that they have written with the aid of Heaps Decent facilitators at their Homebase workshops at Redfern Community Centre. Full of personality and so much talent, each performer contributed to a fantastic energy in the room. A delightful end to the week.

To find out more about Heaps Decent go hurrrr!

Heaps Decent’s Homebase Allstars: Tasha Lee Marshall, Fowl Murk & Medz


So I do some work for Heaps Decent. Can’t really call it work though. It is too much fun to fall into that category. Basically it is a project putting on music workshops with young people in schools, juvenile detention centres, isolated rural communities and other places with some really talented local and international producers.

Each week at Redfern Community Centre, Heaps Decent runs a drop in program called Homebase. Tasha Lee Marshall, Fowl Murk and Medz are some of the youngsters that attend these sessions. Above you can see them perform their song Kick It produced by Heaps Decent facilitator Joyride, and below is a track by 14 year old Lil Ryonez and Monica Winter.

This is a little taste of what you will witness if you come to the Heaps Decent showcase on tomorrow… details right hurrrr

Mike Who South America Podcast Vol 2 Chile

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.

Mixtape Mondays with Dj Moto

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.
