JC EDIT's Back!
We haven't heard all that much from JC lately, but here's a post that proves Tiger Woods 2010 doesn't stop the Brisbane young gun smashing out killer tunes! He's just dropped over his latest remix work, a jacked-up renovation job done on South African young gun Schenk's latest tune 'Stereo Image'. It gives you that signature sound you've probably been missing a bit lately and shows all the progression and knowledge the Brisbane local has gained from his extensive discography.

Adam Bozzetto Says Hi (October)
I am just about to end my 6 week stay in the US. Just a quick thanks to LA house music legend Wally Callerio for having me stay the last week, showing me one of Tiger Wood’s houses, and taking me to the shooting range so I could shoot a .357 Magnum. You didn’t need to chant USA, USA, USA while we were there thought? Anyway here are a couple of the musical related highlights of the last 6 weeks.
San Francisco was awesome. James Amato and the crew organized a gig with Green Velvet and Mark Farina which was amazing. I wanted to run off with Green Velvets CD as a souvenir...hahaha. I was thinking maybe he won't notice if I don’t give it back to him after I took it out of the CD player. It was amazing that you could have two such big names playing at the same time on different stages at a gig of only about 1000 people. One guy who was also booked to play the gig was Sticky K. He couldn’t make it in the end but I heard his new Crookers remix the other day and it’s killer!
This was my song of the tour. I think I have played this song at every gig. It’s not so new so you might already have it. I am still getting a lot of use out of it!

Something Different
Well, now it's time for something a little different.
If your; (a) struggling to get through the week, (b) lounging around in the sun, (c) looking for a bit of a change or (d) trying to cap your internet quota to get back at your shit of a brother - we suggest you try this. As the title reads loud and clear, consider this some new age electronic, dub reggae. It's from a man by the name of Manolo Escobar, but you might know him as Mnolo.
Half El Salvadoran, half Nicaraguan, Mnolo has opened up my eyes to just how far electronic sounds have become commenplace. The two tunes featured below make up a small segment of Mnolo's new electronica-infused experimental reggae album 'Irie'. Out on 'Collage Records', the album filters a number of his life interests and provides an offering well beyond my semi-habitial music playlists. Drawing inspiration from his prominent hiphop background, love of all things dub and his passion for Jamaica, he stirs the pot in quite a different way to many of the artists we feature on here. I'll confirm this electro-dub-reggae sound won't be taking over my I-pod, but it definitaly won't be leaving it any time soon. See what you make of the final product and if its something that sparks an interest, buy the album right here.

Oh Shit! Tha Illest
Kicking things of with the original, it has that disco vibe and is filthed up a touch with some sweet lyrics. I think this sorta sound is getting pushed just right at the moment, making this the pick of the lot for me. Night Drugs said it all when they called it their 'Serious Remix', with a heavy electro charger suitable for a sweaty 3am request. Joman chooses a similar path but tones down the tempo and provides a jacked up electro house number, while DJ Vanish goes down a progressive house route but keeps the funk of the original prominent. If you like what you hear below, you can grab the EP here, and here (part 2). Just as importantly, don't forget to enjoy the music and thank Oh Shit! and Velcro City Records for a quality release.

Accelerator EP
Since then the crew have been hard at work, bumping and grinding, pushing and pulling, snapping and tapping. They promise us they don't even have long lunch breaks and are never late to work or early to leave. Well, we now believe them. After seeing NSR002, or in a more reader friendly context, Twisted Grooves 'Accelerator EP', it's evident the crew behind Nu Style Records have been hard at work artist searching of late. Due out on October 19th, Twisted Groove has served up an absolute banger of a tune to set the tone for the EP. Smashing out an awesome summer breakdown and a drop that signals any party fiends overdrive, the original cut the work out for the producers assigned remix duties. In the end, The Funk Out, Mini K, Rob Perry and TD & Stitch came through with the goods, making the EP a must have for that's dirty, heavy house lovers. Check the samples courtesy of Nu Style Records, jump the links and buy the darn thing come October 19th!

Get 'Nu Skooled'
I started producing when I was 15, I was really involved in the hip hop scene, so I bought a sampler and a keyboard and I had lot of fun doin beats that basically never came out of my bedroom...
Then I did d'n'b for few years and that lasted till I was around 24. Strangely now I don't like it anymore, it makes me anxious....too fast...
But I owe a lot to d'n'b, it's a very difficult music to produce, that forced myself to increase my production skills...
Now it's a couple of years I'm doin house, and I love it, I always loved it to be honest.....I still produce hip hop beats sometime and I wish I have more time to put some more energies into it, I always wanted to do a downtempo album, even just instrumental, smth that you listen when you chill on the sofa. One day I'll do it...
Video Killed The Radio Star?
The use of visual form along with music is something so effective, few have mastered it. Clips in today's industry are strangled by extensive costs and time limitations and therefore few pursue the visual form to the same extent they pursued the creation of the music. To many artists, it simply isn't about the video, but for others, it's the exact opposite. To some artists, it's capturing the visual execution of a track (you know.. those sweaty crowds going 'knutz'?) that's important. In many ways, I find it helps us understand (or imagine) what we can't. Whoever has ever witnessed a Daft Punk clip will know that a tune can extend far beyond what it originally intended to be.
To those that express their musical imaginations to us to such an enjoyable extent where it doesn't have to make sense, we applaud you. To people who make videos that are just aesthetically amazing, we thank you. You make these 5 minute music tunes that are already a delight; truley worthy.
Moe.The Fresh - La Fraiche
click pic for info !
Brisbane's newest club night 'La Fraiche' serves as a justification that it hasn't all been done. Walking into the Brisbane valley precinct for their debut night on October 16th, it seems the crews fresh threads and creative minds are set on giving Brisbane punters more than they are set to expect, something Fridgejet can personally vouch for.

Adventures With Wongo :: Volume #2
House was born in 1971 with the mother merry Joseph Raggamuffin. The father Joseph Merry Raggabottom spent a lot of time in the discotheques trying to understand what a kick drum was. He was more then happy to work it out himself without the help of people like Larry Leven and Derrick May. You see all those sorta guys were doing their own thing, and I think house has also forgot them too.
Anyway, Mr Raggabottom used to get off tap and sit in a chair by himself for strenuous hours trying to work out what the kick drum was. Until one day at east, when he had an idea. This wasnt any ordinary idea keep in mind, but by doing so he had worked out the infamous kick drum sound :) yewwwww! With his fist in a hollow wall he kept punching holes to a 123 bpm tap, further advancing that to a speedy 138bpm and in turn, creating Techno! After moving to Detroit and and meeting the likes of Matthew Ladgrove and Adam Bozzetto, he figure out how much this scene was being abused. Matt and Adam were not very happy about this, so they also took it upon themselves to create a drum beat from punching holes in hollow walls. This started a world craze for 'holechno' or 'holouse'.
Finally, and after many years, Adam and Matt and Merry and Joseph died along with 'holouse' and 'holechno', as people started listening to 'ol Larry again.
Hope this has served as an insight to the likes of a salesman - Word,
Wongo.
A Black Candy Diary: Chapter 2
Since the mass popularization of modern dance music over the past 4 to 5 years, we have been part of a unique and evolving industry that now dominates radio stations, car stereos and is epitomized by mass festivals selling out in minutes. It has become a culture, an attitude spawn from the new idea’s that were lurking around every corner four or so years ago, from bizarre yet familiar sounds and icons like Ed Banger, Dim Mak and Daft Punk touring the globe and opening the kids eyes to the fact that electronic music is not about quick rave or trance but about the party itself. Virgin ears around the world popped their cherries to the likes of Boys Noize' first album 'OI OI OI', a plethora of beautifully destroyed and dirty sounds linked with a precise beat that created a master piece out of a junkyard. Indeed this grew and grew out of it’s status with each new kid that joined the wave of electronica.
As of late, it is this flourishing prosperity that seems to have outgrown itself. I hear kids say “it’s all been done” but that is not what is meant. It seems that in the modern day, the compass has been winding around and around, constantly looking for that new sub genre to be spawn. Will the formula be changed by a few pioneering personalities in the same fashion of it's origin? Will the collaboration of big heavyweights such as MAJOR LAZER and DUCK SAUCE be the answer? Will new events be stripped back to the simple ideology of being cool and fun be re-introduced? Not the massive over-use of “cool acts” to pull crowds. Or will something new all together come through as everything can never be done, and our little minds cannot even comprehend the amount of different noises that can be heard! From computers, machines, instruments, nature, instruments that haven’t even been invented yet! Where is it heading and who will stand out amongst masses to give us something new?
