Europoptrash

Last weekend was the first Chill out party I have ever play @ in Australia and it went over a treat (even if I do say myself). It was called SUBMERGE and I'd like to thank the organizers for allowing me to D J there.
Thanks Brian ! Thanks Beck ! When this party happens again next year make sure you get along to it. It's Lush.
All right now!
If you work in the Melbourne CBD ya gotta come down and check out this new club. It's called Europoptrash and it's a very groovy, arty and cosie little venue in China Town. (18 Corrs lane).
Check out the link over there >
It starts around 5pm and goes threw to about 1am (for now) . They are getting a later licence soon.
This is something funky and fun lots of retro 80's dance. In no way is it the cosmic adventure I try to create when playing electronic stuff out doors.
So the name of the night is KICK OFF. We want you to kick off you're weekend with a fun funky party vibe.

CHILL OUT


This weekend I am playing @ a Chill Festival called SUBMERGE. This is the festivals second year in production and it is held in the beautiful Hidden Valley Angahook State Forest Victoria at the Opoeia Eco Arts Retreat.
Chill out or Ambient festivals have been happening in Europe for the past 10 to 20 years. My electronic outfit LumuKanda played at a couple of these type events in the mid 90's in Belgian and Holland. Australia however has taken a little while to catch on (just like hip hop). This festival to my knowledge is the first Chill Festival in Australia and I am very happy to be a part of it. I'm sure it will grow and morph into something wonderful.
I'm D Jing around 11-30am to 1-00pm Sunday and then performing with Miles of Dub as Electric bbq (chillset) 5-30pm to 7-00pm.
If ya make it down come say Hi.

by the way Superpuss has nothing to do with this party. He just wanted his picture on the net.

Back In Melbourne.


I've been back in Melbourne for a few weeks now. It was so good to get out of town for a while and a pleasure to be a part of the EXODUS feztival.There's a pic of me over there in the green cap. Thanks Mr Richards and Domo Tekeshi and the Wompacific crew. If you want to see some fantastic pics and read some reviews of the Exodus party go to Oztrance review threads or the Exodus site. (There should be links over there on the right.)
The C A T club has been cancelled unto further notice. Why? I lost the venue. Another night was offered but it conflicts with to many other things so I think I'll just let it slide for a while or unto I can find another venue to hold the night at. I will for sure let you know about the next C A T club.
Last Saturday (5th) We did the Electric bbq thing at The Retreat Hotel on Brunswick St. It was a very rancho relaxo stylie. This is the 2nd time Electric bbq has played @ this gig. I don't know alot about it. I think the day is called ALIVE and it's put on by the Lukes of Melbourne. It happens in the beer garden and I think it's $5 to get in? Goes from about 3pm to about 9pm I think? I got a phone call the night before (friday night) telling me we was playing there. Next time we play there hopefully they will give me more notice so I can let you all know about it. The day is a fantastic concept all live electronic in a beer garden in Brunswick. Nice.
