That awkward New Zealandy sense of humour, you don’t know how to respond to. It is like having old DJ Ability in the studio again, when Home Brew Crew popped by. They have been totally killing it in New Zealand topping the charts with their new self titled double album. We talk. They rap. It was good. Catch Home Brew at the Civic Underground in Sydney tonight. Details right hurr!
In addition, Naiki pays tribute to the Beat Conducta with a sweet set of Madlib produced jams and the original samples. The genius behind projects like Madvillian, Jaylib, Yesterday’s New Quintet, Lootpack, Quasimoto, The Medicine Show and more. Catch him Friday at the Metro in Sydney supported by Egon and J Rocc… Deeets yo!
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.

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 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.
I hosted the DOOM show when he was out here not so long ago. We were told we had to clear the stage area when DOOM came, and we couldn’t look him in the eye or talk to him unless he talked to us. It was like he was Prince, but not nearly as famous.
I thought it would be really funny if I came out on stage earlier wearing a mask and pretend to be a DOOMPOSTER. So I went up to Oxford St and bought this feathery sequenced butterfly mask and came out on stage like “Yo this is DOOM, I lost my old mask in customs, this is my new look, son”. Don’t think anybody else found it that amusing.
Anyways, DJ Naiki plays a set of DOOM tracks mixed with the original samples. Listen for all that Madvillain, King Geedorah, Metal Face goodness.
Also we get raunchy with The Tongue. Talking about his new mixtape – Sex Tape.

Rappers. They love a verse, but so many of them get a little confused when that chorus bit comes along. When a few cuts aren’t going to do and you need a hit hook for your little rap song, then you would crack open the piggy bank, ask your mum for an advance on your pocket money, search through your couch for an extra G and give Nate Dogg a call.
We pay tribute to the G-Funk Crooner with a set of Nate Dogg Hits and the original samples – Mixed together by DJ Naiki.
We are also joined in the studio by Tuka, Nick Knowledge and Nick Lupi of Spit Syndicate for a freestyle rap session.
