Let’s face it we are spoiling you. It was only 2 weeks ago that we had Woolfy, a month since we had Maurice Fulton and a month before that Greg Wilson at Adult Arts Club. This week we have Jacques Renault. I think his releases speak for themselves but it’s worth noting he has DJed at the Guggenheim Museum and was resident at an NYC club called Happy Endings,which I vote Sugar change its name to. His prolific body of work includes releases on Rvng Intl., Wurst Edits, Hole in The Sky, I’m A Cliche, Italians Do It Better and DFA.
Not many people allow themselves the extent of their full complexity. This is seen through-out most of us. It can be extremely fascinating when art and science fuse to create an insight into discovering that complexity.
Behind The Fold is a wonderful look at Origami and its application as a legitimate art form and science. The documentary walks you through an Israeli classroom teaching it too children to introduce geometry, it gives you a glimpse into the future of medicine,space and design. I love the French renegade folders in this doco and the idea of making your own paper for you to fold and make into something you could hang above your bed…..?? it’s appealing to me.
Greg Wilson recently graced the Adult Art Club with his extensive talent. From DJing at the Hacienda and Wigan Pier to being the first DJ to mix on television its safe to say the man is a legend in his own. He seems to be going from strength to strength on the remix front with several upcoming tracks from Goldfrapp, The XX and Florence and the Machine.

2 War – youngblood (livin’ in the streets) (cosmic boogie edit)

Our Brisbane based friend Youth has put together a new track which we at Adult Arts Club HQ think is pretty choice. It kind of has an In Flagranti cut up electro style mixed with camp 90s house – if you have any comprehension of quality you know this is an irresistible combination.
On our short but eventful stay in New York Last month we caught up with a few New York legends like Tim Sweeney, Jacques Renault and among them the Mr Brennan Green who was head deep in Chinatowns new release of Arthur’s Landing ( Arthur Russells original band mates ). We had a hit with him in the studio in Brooklyn where he showed us all the material. Fair to say i think the next release on Chinatown is gonna blow. Here’s them doing some freaky shit in a club with Nomi from Hercules & Love Affair.
Driller Jet Armstrong is one of this country’s founding disco kings. For decades he has championed a classic and contemporary disco sound. As a celebrated Daubist he has used his vantage point in the art community to build a reputation as a forward thinking operator in one of Australia’s premium bars Sugar Nightclub. I fondly remember being granted some sort of diplomatic immunity at the club as a young 20 year old and sharpened my axe in what i use to call the Church. It has been here, Sugar , where legends like Nicky Siano, Theo Parish, Brennan Green and close to every major disco/ house/techno Dj on the planet have received a true taste of what Australia has to offer ( more than roo’s and koala’s ).
Driller is a formidable Dj himself mixing, like a demon, everything from obtuse classics to super new releases, edits and test pressings. Later this year i think we may see Driller join the world circuit where i have every intention of joining him on his quest to bring the party to every major city on the planet.
To celebrate Driller becoming a contributor to the Adult Arts Club Blog We have a great series of mix’s to be podcast…… Ladies & Gents……. Mr Driller Jet Armstrong.
