Still Buzzin!
After so many years of D J ing and making tunes I still get a buzz from it all.
For example...This week end I will be on 2 radio stations around the same time. Midnight Saturday. I will of corse be presenting my show Creative Alternative Techno on 106.7 FM Melbourne and then if you tune into the National Broadcaster J J J I'll on there aswell. Cool Hey?
So yeah after wining D J comps , touring Europe with my techno band ( Lumukanda), presenting my own radio show for over 10 years it is great to be able to still get a little buzz from it all.
The mix up on J J J is to promote the Earthdance party.
Hope to see you there.

Domcast #1
Hey, How are ya?
No I haven't been playing out much lately so nothing to write about as far as that kind of thing is concerned.
Radio has been good. C A T has had the occasional guest Announcer (thanks Even Carr and John Carew). I have been filling in on Amber Tripps show Slide out wide (Monday 9am-11am) and I just can't do both shows every week and I'd rather do Monday mornings at the mo' so that's why the guys have been filling in for me on Saturday nights.
All so I wanted to let you know that I'm going to start doing the occasional Podcast or as I like to call them Domcast. So Stuff that in ya pod and smoke it.(tek house mix up)
I've been wearing one of my other hats, that of engineer (and a tiny bit of production) and a remix for a very talented young Lady named Rachel Delany.
Hit her name and check out her Myspace page.
So now Summer is over and we slink into Autumn.
I love this time of the year.
This is my favorite part of my ride to my day job. Riding along the Merry Creek.
until next time
peace&power

A Wedding and A funeral.
Wow! What a crazy couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I was a best man for my very good friends Steve and Max. It was such a beautiful wedding as far as weddings go. Not to big not to small, just right. Well done guys. They are off on there honeymoon in Fiji.
Then a few days after that I had to speak at my Good old friend Angus's (D J Bribes) Funeral. It was a lovely service and HE would have loved the wake. There was people there that I hadn't seen in 20 years. It was amazing.

Rainbow after glow
Rainbow Serpent
This was my first Rainbow Festival in 4 years and I loved it. This is Allen. He drove me out there but then freaked out and took off back to Mebourne. Thanks mate. That's O K kind of to be expected.
My Job was engineering for the 6 hour electronic/organic expression session on Saturday night. This is when my ride flipped out and took off. It was such a mixed bag of emotions.
Some people loved it and some people disliked it.
I also D Jed off the lappy at Umaliciouses Coffee Tent.
This is Saint Fiona patron saint of coffee.
and the woman herself, Uma peaking threw the ganita machine. That was alot of fun and we really got a bit of a buzz going. It was so good to run into old friends.
Ah Michelle and The Blue Lama in fine form.
Kat & Marco the Prom King & Queen.
Bubba Andrew
Trucker or D J? You decide.
It was also very good to hang with some new Finnish Talent. I wonder if we will ever see Timo & Pasi back down here? This is Vishnudata & Haltia. Yes they rocked. The Finns never let us down.
Ah T R Storm.
It's always good to see Blue China Sky Thunder Monkey.
Yo Yo Yo Gumpy Gump & Fi in da place to be.
So many happy faces that I haven't seen in Years.
My camp and all I need. A Tent a laptop a midi controller and a few clothes.
Ah yes but how did I get home?
Thanks Nicola.

will work for food
I Know I know. I haven't been here for ages. You probably don't even check in on me anymore, I've been a bit slack I know. Almost 2 months wow.
I did mention in my last blog back in January that I had finally settled into my new studio and that's why I haven't been here. I been jammin man!
I think gig wise the best one in the last couple of months for me was The Maitreya Festival. The Cosmic Jam was brilliant! Thanks Krusty.
Another big change in my life has been taking on the position of category co-ordernator for the electronic and hip hop shows at my radio station. Finding fill ins, looking for new announcers, putting on a little fund raiser and putting a CD compilation together seem to be my main tasks. This could be fun? (More on that in a blog soon). I may need your help?
Also go check these ppl out. That's who I'm working for this weekend. The Fool's Gold Booty Challenge After Party.
Oh also I should mention that I'm not working full time at Arck anymore and am looking for full time work. Anyone? Anything?
ps I just like that pic.

07 Let's Go!
Well it's been a while since I've been here. Wow over a month. Well the roller-coaster of life continues. So much has happened since I was here last, I don't know where to start? O K first of all I should say HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best for 07 to you.
The Make Poverty History party was a great day in the park. The organizers really had there act together and the day just breezed by with chill beats and good company and no dramas. (Thanks Star) So this is what's been happening in my life.
Where I work during the day has moved to a new building in North Fitzroy. It's a very funky place and a lot better then where we use to be in North Melbourne. It's mixed zone so we can really crank the tunes and no complaints. Nice.
Then around the same time I moved house as well. The last place I lived in got sold on my birthday. The we had a month to get out. Yes it was a little stressful finding somewhere new. I now live a few streets away from where I was and it's a lot better house and I like it better then the last place. So then the next job was to get my studio set up again. Part of that job was waiting for my new MacBook Pro to turn up. I waited and waited. Then it turned up. I ran home and put the final piece of the puzzle together. When I booted it up everything looked cool until I started to try and install software. The Superdrive CD/DVD drive was NOT so Super. It was dead as a Dodo. I was Gutted.
Anyway 1 week later and my new machine arrives and @ the same time I picked up a brand new pair of Samson Rubicon monitors. I love me rubicons. I've never had a decent pair of self powered monitors. I've always monitored on top end Hi Fi stuff.
Then The NYE gig. Some friends from a far visited me and stayed the night. There was a Feller from the Shetland (Shetlin) Islands a young lady from Liverpool a lad from Ireland and of corse my American woman. I felt like I was in a different country. I played @ a gig on the other side of town. It was the best NYE gig I've had in at least 7 years. THANK YOU VOODOO CREW.
Now a week or so after all that the dust is starting to settle in my brain and it's time to start the new year.
All the best to YOU & YOUR CREW for 07.
