It was six years ago, to this very day, that I set out to change the world. With my brand spanking new Blogger account I was going to take a stand against all the wrongdoings across the globe and fight for what I knew in my heart was right. Starving children would be fed, polar ice caps would stop shrinking, our Earth would be led those noble and true and Web 2.0 savvy. Such was the power of The Banger. With every speaker in every club in every country pumping in unison at 130bpm, singing the siren song of murdered [...]
Heysuuuuuup. How's everyone doing? Happy new year I guess. Just a pinch of news for Sydney folks - will be putting on a Disco Delicious night some time in May after a solid four years of procrastination. I don't have a date yet, so just keep the entire month free. Birthdays, weddings, whatever: make sure they're all priority number two. So it's been a little while, sorry about that. For ages and ages I've been planning to put together a jazz-focused Delishcast but never got around to properly preparing it. Had a few [...]
Hey chaps - welcome back to the most reliable, most punctual, most dependable blog on the internet. Sorry, spellcheck is telling me I should be capitalising the I in Internet. Your wish is my command, oh supreme network overlord. Finally another Delishcast is for your enjoyment/contentment/mild disappointment. This initially came from a playlist I made for a friend a while back, but I've replaced most of the stuff that's already been used here on DD. Not all, but most. Basically it was intended as one big billboard promoting some of my favourite people and labels from [...]
It's been a while in the making, but finally the debut Sleep D record is ready for the world (They've had a digital release on Audio Parallax beforehand mind ). The young duo are some of the fresher faces in the Melbourne scene with only a handful of tracks to date, but much like their local counterparts, age is nothing but a number. The quality emanating from every element is yet another refreshing insight in to the rich Melbourne club culture, which recently caught the eyes of music web [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, sincere apologies for the extended absence! I hope you'll all find it in your Christmas-spirit-filled hearts to forgive me. I've been consumed with trying to get this last Delishcast of the year done and now that I've finally reached the finishing post I'm pretty content with it. This is something I've wanted to do for a really long time. I suppose it's fairly personal and it might not be to everybody's tastes, but psychedelic music has always been something I've loved very deeply and dudes like Psychemagik have made me become excited about [...]
Sorry for the radio silence pals, been pretty sick the past couple of weeks. My fingers aren't full of many words so I'll be brief. The new Ruf Kutz record is awesome. Quiroga rules. Local legend Jonti's album (on Stones Throw!) is totally amazing, you need to hit that. DYWTRT is my fave DC LaRue track, alwayssss. Cool, hope you like this.

Back to the lazy mixed bag playlist format which I like best :) some cool new stuff, some cool old stuff, some nostalgic classics. I've had a massive Luke Vibert revival of late and can't stop listening to his records, it's just exquisite electronic music. The Sleep D remix is one of my favourite tracks in a long time, enjoy that one. 40 Thieves' new remix is an absolute corker, though I'm still undecided about the original track. It's all good stuff.

I've finally got off my ass and done a proper DJ mix to showcase a few of the super rad deep sounds coming out of Melbourne at the moment as well as some old faves I've neglected for a long time. I couldn't think of a better way to kick things off than with a couple of Lewie Day productions - the biggest of the big wigs from the past couple of years in Melbourne's deep house scene. From there, there's some stuff from Victorian dudes Weekend Express, Fantastic Man and Sleep D who are all currently killing it. [...]
Sorry for all the neglect lately folks but I've got a pretty spicy Delishcast to make up for it. Real happy with this one, plenty of jazz and funk flying around. Kicking off with a Doobies track played at the wrong speed which I totally reckon sounds like it's been covered by MJ. Also some Herbie - saw him at the Opera House last week and he's been hogging my dreams since so I can't really leave him out. Have a laugh with the Hackney Colliery Band's Toto cover which is actually pretty brilliant. Also I've been waiting to work [...]
What an atrociously brief summer, I'm still convinced somebody fucked up the calendars this year and a couple of months got skipped. But as short as it was, it was also pretty awesome, and I'd like to pay tribute to the best season around with a specially dedicated Delishcast that ties together all the thangs that got me moist over the hot months. Special mention has to go to Harvey's visit to Aus which made it extra special - there are a couple of sarcastic classics in here for that reason. Things are still keeping pretty warm [...]
A quick heads up first - our Midnight Savari release is coming out digitally tomorrow (i think iTunes might be on Monday) with remixes by The C90s , Cosmonaut and Softwar . If you're one of those peeps who likes 0s and 1s better than wobbles in wax then hit it up! Mr. Erol Alkan has been spinning Rimshots to death which is real cool. Check out The C90s bright and bubbly funky-synth facelift of Pinisi: Midnight Savari - Pinisi (The C90s Remix) [ buy ] Now [...]
There was way too much stuff I wanted to include in the top list of 2010 but couldn't... Maybe I should have extended it to a top 20 but that's too much to write about for a lazy lout like me. So instead here's a Delishcast issue of most of the things that just missed out on sneaking into the big 10. The Arthur's Landing record is just gorgeous, absolutely essential listening. The Elegante Orchestra track came out in December last year so I couldn't officially put it in the top 10 - if I could it [...]
IT'S A PARTIE, YESSS! Very proud to be able to spam you internet peoples with buy links to our first 12" release by the megatronically hyperawesome Midnight Savari ! We're completely stoked with the release and how everything turned out, and hopefully the disco-grooving public will feel the same. If you haven't heard anything from the EP yet it's up to stream on SoundCloud - clickity click the widget gadget below: Midnight Savari - Pinisi (DSR002) by [...]
Did a bit of revisiting of some of my favourite blogs out there and luckily found that Disco Delicious are now making podcasts! My favourite disco blog out there has now got mixes for your dull journeys to work! Sweetness! Oooh and this is one of the reasons why its my favourite: Lou Reed - Walk On The Wildside (Holtoug Bootleg) Download : Delishcast 001 Get [...]
Hay folks - so I'm going to give this podcast business a go for a bit. The format is going to be super loose... For this one I just picked up records sitting on the floor that seemed like nice things to listen to. Sometimes it'll be proper DJ mixes, maybe sometimes I'll get some guests to do my work for me. When I find a microphone I'll add some jabbering about the music in case anybody is listening. Anyway subscribe in iTunes or whatever other crazy podcast thingy you use and we'll see if it's a good idea after [...]
Mylo has been rocking me hard with his remix to Freemform Five's No More Conversations . The track holds that very traditional ' Mylo ' type electro-funk groove that's so good. Then combine it with the original catchy pop and vocal samples to create an edgy all-round twist. As a ' bonus ', I have also included some of my favourite throwbacks because he hasn't really hit this site before. If I'm lucky, one of these may have escaped you over the past few years and this will give you a chance to re-listen to it. [...]
so my week in melbs is coming to a close.. my legs are sore, my eyes are heavy and my head is throbbing. so much fun. and i still have tonight and tomorrow night to go. yikes. i felt like propping myself up on some beats from the tech-house end of town today, but seeing as though my music is still located in sydney, that mission was destined to fail. instead, i had to "settle" for these next two mixes which i must say soothed my hungover ears and even got my weary toes tapping (as much as [...]
Where to begin with this hansom young man, besides having one of the radest blogs around which sits at over 1500 readers, and was one of my main influences into getting into blogging, he also is an established DJ, who blew me away when I first heard him because he played on vinyls as well as Cdjs . Well slowly but surely he is taking the next step, to production, starting out with some pretty amazing mash ups! A lot of people out there have a problem with mash ups, they view it as an [...]
Well my internet is capped at the moment so this will just be a scraping together of whatever I've already got - searching for music in this state is pure agony. It's put me in an extremely impatient mood so I'm just going to fly through these with minimal effort. Soz. This really doesn't need any caption attached. It's as classic as songs come and it's a Terje edit so it sounds fantastic in a club or in your car or on a boat or on an elephant or anywhere on the planet. The end. [...]
