Smoothers and Shakers

For those fridgejuicers that loom over the plenti-packed Brisbane scene, a delightful treat hits Barsoma's shores this Friday featuring none other than overseas American juggernaughts  — Holy Ghost! We haven't really gone into depth about Holy Ghost! here before, its rather been kept as something similar to well preserved sweet candy; like nougat, but rest assured, we'll give up our sweet toothed virginity to fill in the gaps in your musical cavities.

For a catch-up or rather, a nostalgic visit back to the past with Holy Ghost, we've included their two-part-two-disc mixtape featured on DFA earlier this winter. There's a lot of expect before you hit the DL, including sounds from In Flagranti, Phoenix, DJ Mehdi, Cut Copy, Van She and even the meshed sounds of the smooth skulled Moby. It doesn't come served without an amalgamated fist of full of remixed mayhem however. This one's also been rephased if you happened to nab the earlier released cassette version.

Next in line of our scrumcious confectionary is the mysterious maiden voyage of  Flight Facilities with nu-disco collab — Captain Earnest Bon-Huffington, Madame Francois de Lundenkopf, Esquire Winston Humphries III and Fred. We've been listening since their remix of Lowbrows 'Dream In The Desert' which induced an epic eight minute coma and further glued to our speakers with the super creamy 'Crave You' (if you don't think you have heard it, you have). Since landing, the crew has signed on their euro-synths, hypnotic basslines and occasional cowbell to Australian label - Bang Gang. We've included some of their tracks in case you were living under a rock while they flew overhead.

The ghosts have alternatively released their 'Static on the Wire' EP which concocts a very danceable slice of their synthetic disco pop funk whose velvety, silky and rather legitimate chorus will be sure to keep your skull busy for a day or two. Crisp low down-down bongo drums as well as a sexy story like guitar solo blur the lines between where the static on the wire finish or ends, so feel free to jump rope this one for hours on end. We promise you won’t get sick of it - ever.

It’s become a well known artefact the Brooklyn boys are the remix masters and quick visit to the Holy Ghost blog reveals an array of psychedelic sounds and other cheeky shenanigans. They've had a busy year on road hip-swaying and finger snapping with LCD Soundsystem and zig-zagging across their home turf with Chromeo, but thanks to those gentlemen chaps at Lick It, we get to jump on audible express to hear the porn and make the happy ending that is Holy Ghost! 

Whether you know neither of the two success stories, one over the other, or both - you need to listen very carefully from here on out...

EVERYONE LOVES CLASSIXX

This saturday Lick It Media presents dreamwave sensations Classixx to the realm of Barsoma Nightclub (event here!). You might know them because your obsessed, or perhaps because of their awesome remix of Phoenix's 'Listomania', but for whatever the reason - you can't miss this duo! To make the night just that little bit better, up and coming Brisbane legends 'Misere' will be jamming out as the top support act for what is arguably a steller synthed-out line up, something those 80's electro heads just cant miss. Think toned down bpm's and some really rad vocals and you've got your Saturday night pretty much planned. Check out the audible goodness below and avoid disappointment by grabbing some pre-sale tickets here, they are a steal!

Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back (Classixx Acapulco Nights Version)

Big, Black Friday

Danny T and Fingajigg - two good reasons to get to Monastery this friday the 13th!

Skip an introduction to this wild child, all you need to know is that Danny T will be dropping those wonky wobblers this friday night at Monastery for the best 'Black Friday' celebrations in town. Jump down in your scary attire, walk in for free and enjoy the cheap drinks all night. On top of all this, Ray Antonelli, JMAC and Habebe will be kicking their stuff on until the sun comes up. Sounds like a good night! 

Danny T - I Hate Sandcastles (Early 2009 Mixtape)

Event Page and Danny T Fan Page

Fingajigg (for those of you who don't know) started as two separate stories, each of equal value. Tim Plunkett showed his stuff at the Central DJ comp and took out honors, while his partner in crime Jason Haskell was over at Hotel LA blowing the roof of their comp. Turns out they were pretty good together, given that not long after the pair teamed up to become the duo that now holds residency in the depths of the dirtiest dungeon in town (and our favorite), Monastery Nightclub. Alongside names like Danny T and Killafornia, the boys work their stuff to their ever growing fan base, also keeping themselves busy by dropping in at Basement 388, Planet Nightclub and Barsoma. So know that you know, snap up the set and watch them do their shit live this friday at Monastery!
