Off Beat at Workshop

November 30th, 2006 · No Comments

Wow, it’s been a little time between posts, finally the turntable has returned, but still has some little problems, she is old so I forgive her for having little quirks.

So much great music at the moment, I’m super impressed with the planet rock cover (I know it sounds bad) on breakout-music, seriously dope…. I was going to hunt down the 7” but now they’ve its been released on a 12” with an additional jazz mix. I think the jazz mix is my pick. Patiently waiting for my copy to arrive.

Check out sound snippets on their myspace page breakout music and the label site here. Apparently Mr. Confuse, Info & Kova had their musician mates play the cover and they meticulously resampled the tiny fragments into this stormer.

Dopeness, as is all the other releases on this label, lots of covers of funk classics and other oddities. This is defiantly one of my favorite labels at the moment.

I’m in Melbourne for a little holiday and am djing at a great little Sunday afternoon shindig called Off Beat at Workshop..

On Sunday December 3rd Workshop again will play host to an afternoon and evening of the finest in downtempo, IDM, ambient, 3/4 and world music sounds. In this sophomore iteration we introduce a couple of new styles to the mix - minimal and instrumental hip-hop.

Workshop is at 413 Elizabeth Street in downtown Melbourne, with access through the A’Beckett side entrance.

Get down with the get down

Ive been itching my to post the first podcast for weeks, patiently waiting for one of my turntable to be fixed.

Its heating up here in Sydney, everyone seems to be spending more time outside, days are longer and weekends are lazier. This mix really just mellows me out defiantly a great prelude to summer and the impending daylight savings, barbies and lazy weekends at the beach. If you cant make it to the east coast of Australia you can always check the vibe on this mix.

Includes tracks by Artifacts, PUTS, Sadat X, Pete Rock and CL smooth, Afu Ra, J Live and Rodney Rude among others.
