Jay Shepheard

So here is one from an all time favourite of mine, i think i last saw Jay Shepheard, maybe just over a year ago now play Spice Cellar and i have remembered it to be one of the most memorable nights in that place, he absolutely killed it. This weekend he has quite a busy schedule as he hits Sydney and Wollongong. Jay Shepheard is definitely hot right now on the house music front and is in popular demand with 3 shows to play this sunday, SPICE, S.A.S.H & PARKSIDE, Wollognong, 3 parties which i would consider to be the strongest event brands this state has to offer right now.

Where ever u are make sure u get to one of these solid events, or even get to all of them, ill be showing my face at 2 thats for sure.

Dean Relf - Elesdee (Original Mix)

Really impressed with this track from Dean Relf. These days you can spend hours in a session searching for new tracks to the point where everything starts to sound the same, thats when you know you need to give your ears a break. Today i was just reaching that point after listening to hours of mixes, playlists and Soundcloud streams when this track instantly caught my attention. I really couldn't believe that this track had been built by a Wollongong producer. 

One of six in Wollongongs most successful DJ collaboration - PARKSIDE, Dean Relf has been pinned to the unquestionabe list of stable reliable DJs, but Dean has not solely emerged into the industry though the work he does with Parkside, Dean has earnt the respect from numerous waves of electronic music enthusiasts in Australia's music industry over the last 6-10 years. Though his consistency, passion, and understanding of what djing actually is all about (The music, not the spotlight) he has managed to involve himself with some of those who are naturally moulding and directing the fashion of electronic dance music. 

Dean Relf has reinforced his ability throughout sydney by holding on to a residency at a club that some of us would consider Australia's number one underground house and tech music venue - SPICE CELLAR.

With out completely overdoing himself on the gig front deans name has been showing up on some top events proving that quality over quantity is really what matters to dean. Keep an eye out for this guy as he never fails to disappoint when he is in front of the mixer.

LONG WEEKEND IN THE GONG

What a weekend!!! Too many options for top music events. It was hard to head down the coast for the weekend knowing that i was going to miss Secret Societies Warehouse Party, heard it was a top night, but Wollongong ........ WOW i don't think i have herd such a high calibre of music in the gong for such a long time. 

Sunday night was the big one for me this weekend. I dropped by my old stomping ground, North gong pub to catch up with some old friends, was a good place to start the night, Jem Quinn was on the 1s and 2s spinning some nice indie/ nu disco infused with some deeper house and a few Party Jams towards the end of his set, this guy never disappoints. Jem's built his reputation as one of Wollongong's most versatile and reliable DJs, definitely a safe booking if your planing on running an event in the gong.






Now LAZE .... HOLY S*!T didn't these guys go all out on there sound system, i could have been on the beach and still felt like i was standing inside a speaker, it was so clear and had so much bottom end. and to walk into the brewery with Maceo Plex playing just made it even better. The boys set up on the outside terrace and had busted out the robe plasma lights along the railing as well wich just added to the atmosphere, definitely 10 out of 10 for the setup.

I then went to battle the line at the Illawarra Hotel where the Parkside DJs, Ben Ashton and Jack Fuller were were absolutely tearing up the dance floor. The line to get in was literally backed up to the doors of 151, i don't think I've ever seen a bigger line at that place. So much fun ..... So many good tunes ........ so many fist pumps, i literally forgot to drink. You could have been as sober as a priest and still loving life in that room. 








I took a few snaps of the boys on my i phone and a couple of videos and also heard a few killer tracks played that ill share with u guys as well.

Make sure you get your self down to either one of these parties next events. Big ups to the boys from LAZE and PARKSIDE for bringing absolute TUNES to the Gong!!
