Cheap Thrills Music Festival 2010

Although usually a memorable and unforgettable experience, it’s no news to anyone that a music festival can prove to be quite the costly outing at times. For this very reason, Disco Entertainment alongside the support from Free Form Events, Fans, Nova 106.9, Getanightlife, Nightvision, Smirnoff, Toohey's, Time Off, Scene & Uber have worked together to bring you Brisbane’s own boutique music festival. The Cheap Thrills Music Festival is directed at providing an extremely affordable day event around nothing but friends and good company, without the frustration of constantly losing them. With the all star list of nationally acclaimed artists below, Cheap Thrills is already set to be a fantastic day of some inexpensive fun in the sun that will rock your socks off!

Fortunately for you guys, we are giving you the opportunity to win a DOUBLE PASS to the extravagant event with a competition. It’s quite simple, watch the Fuzzy Interview of Jack and Chris (Cheap Thrills Headliners: Bag Raiders) in the video below and send your answers of the question proceeding to fridge.jet@internode.on.net.

Don't Miss The Boat!

Jealousy aside, Late Night Addiction have a pretty damn good life. The premier management agency nurtures a host of Brisbane's top talent, evidently loves the studio and, has no problem throwing killer parties at Brisbane top-rate venues. You might remember their huge boat party or the crazy night LNA smashed out at Monastery Nightclub (feat The Cut), but rumors have it their latest venture is set to be the best damn one yet! If the poster hasn't already given it away, set the scene by hitting play on the Youtube video below  and consider it a mere snippet of what the energetic crowd will be exposed to come Sunday afternoon.

Yep, this Sunday LNA have decided to pack Goodwill, Baby Gee, Habebe and Danny T onto one crazy, decked-out boat, all of them screaming 'GET TOGETHER!!' at the top of their lungs. These four names alone question why you don't already have your ticket, but add a bunch of steller locals to the line-up, a live recording of the very popular Nightvision Podcast and weather that's as sexy as summer, your a fool if your not on that boat! We understand you probably don't have much time, so here's a convenience related asset from your friends at Fridgejet - A DIRECT LINK TO BUY TICKETS. Do it now before they sell out, don't get seasick and don't wait to hear about how fun it was Monday morning.

BIG!

LOOK!

Its finally out, and yes ... it's huge. Danny T's jackin' new EP 'Chico' is out now on Beatport featuring remixes by Malente, Tom Piper, The Hump Day Project and Baby Gee, Habebe, Benny Electric! Get it RIGHT HERE!

Here, There, Everywhere.

With a rise in the number of mixtapes, clips, samples and tunes (or attempted tunes) we've been sent lately, we've decided to layer out a summary for you. There's no logical order behind what we have done, but here's a cross-section of talent for you to pick willingly at. Be sure to click the links to find out more about the respective artist but more importantly, enjoy the tunes!

Trevor Loveys: (click here to find him on Beatport)
He's been in the game for ages, well known for producing top quality, stylish work. He doesn't really do any of that throw-away shit, so he's earned a fair amount of respect in the music community. Below is his remix of Bent's tune 'Always', we're he throws down an old school feel that goes down a treat. The remix is part of an EP (focused on remixes of older Bent tunes) hitting listings on August 17th. Check out the preview below, listed on Discobelle.

Wongo: (click here to find him on Beatport)
We all know the crazy lad from the Goldy, and surely most of you have caught wind of the party he's throwing at the Gold Coast (Ruby Tramp to be exact) under the banner 'Phunkers'. Anyway, he's doing a bunch of mixtape installments to show how jacked up the parties going to be and there pretty damn tasy. Check out our last post regarding the party (at this link) for more information and the 1st installment of the mixtape, or snap up the link below to get edition 2, just like he promised!

Danny T: (click here to find him on Beatport)
We've just gotta chat about Danny, especially after he smashed Monastery around on the Brisbane leg of his national 'Its Time To Jack' tour! He's amazing original effort 'Chico' is out on Beatport any day now, including remixes by Malente, Tom Piper, Baby Gee/Habebe/Benny Electric and The Hump Day Project. We featured a clip of the jackin' jazzy tune awhile ago, perfect for a taste test before you buy the real thing. Here's a repost - grab it then make it a ritual to check Beatport listings (at this link right HERE if you want) so you can snap up the real deal when it drops!

DisCrow:
Keeping in the trend of local punters, Gold Coast resident DJ Ryan Crowe, better known as Discrow, has been smashing out his heavy hitting party tunes in and around South East Queensland. He's also just dropped a new mixtape which he describes as having a bit of everything, from dubstep to electro and jazzy fidget - sure to keep you jiving. Check the tape out and jump on his page via that nice link on his name above.

Honorable Mention:
If it weren't for Trevor Loveys creeping into this post, we would have gone 100% home grown for the whole thing, but then again, 3:1 aren't bad ratios. To make them even better, here's a shout out to the lads from Stupid Fresh who've just thrown out 4 fresh pieces of work. Included are remixes for the likes of Rico Tubbs and Christian Balistrari on labels like Bombsquad, U&A and Rising Recordings. All the tunes can be heard on their Myspace page at the link below, a place where you can also find links to buy their music. DO IT!

Favoured Late Night Addictions

Oh... look what time of year it is.

We would be idiots if we sat here and explained that its currently voting season for the Annual Sony In The Mix Top 50, because let's face it, the spamming makes it pretty damn obvious. Never the less, many DJ's have worked their ass off since last year and deserve the recognition brought about by that final ITM ranking. Call us bias for bringing up a Brissy crew, but looking at whats going on under the Late Night Addiction (LNA) banner, we gotta' give them a shout out.

First up, Danny T has just kicked off his 'Time To Jack' tour (get tour dates here) and is on the back of a bunch of impressive releases while warming up for his latest bangin' EP, 'Chico', to hit the Beatport listings. He's also tearing up a bunch of weekly club nights alongside tonnes of international superstars, all while doing the LNA banner proud. Below is a 320 sample of none other than his latest effort, 'Chico', which should give you just enough to keep you going until the EP drops mid July.

Alongside Danny's jackin' talents, founder of LNA and Family resident Habebe has caused a stir in the Aria club charts with his colabrative remix of 'Teardrop' with Benny Electric sitting at #24 - providing a perfect sound for his big room house set's at the very popular, 'Saturday's @ Family'. Not to be outdone, Baby Gee (Currently #4 in ITM rankins) has sealed up a sweet year bangin' tunes to the masses every chance he can get, consistently stomping his authority in the Australian DJ scene. Furthermore, Bass Kleph's very popular Vacation Records have signed to release Toby / Zulu to get the Baby Gee love spread - due to hit charts in October! Below is a nice little LNA zip file with 2 clips of the tracks we've raved about here, consider it their present to you.
