A good friend and producer Jamie Paton from Cage & Aviary introduced me to Arthur Russell a couple years ago. I had no idea who he was although I had heard “Is It All Over My Face” on the dance floor a bit; I was completely unaware of AR. I remember listening to “Wild Combination” almost in disbelief. It felt like i had found a Guru, there’s something deeply moving about AR’s lyrics that touched me instantly. The demo style recording is something i have always loved, after all, recording and catching the music in its raw spontaneous form is thrilling for both the listener and the maker. First Thought Best Thought. I clicked onto iTunes and purchased his entire catalogue in one sitting. ( I realise it doesn’t have the same romance as blowing the dust off an old 12 in a store but i needed him pronto…. )
I have spent the past couple years falling deeper and deeper in love with Arthur Russell’s music. It seems to transcend a time period and is so nourishing to one who is in need. His voice hugs the centre of your heart, the cello rocking the very core of your spirit. His history is nothing short of amazing and i feel like a better person to have his music in my life.
It may take time for it to unfold, perhaps a lifetime, but once it does, you’ll wonder how you survived with out hearing his love lullaby’s and meditative mantras.

After a good friend of mine introduced me to Beats In Space a few years ago i have never looked back. Its been the ultimate source of knowledge and select listening for the Disco Genre. Tim Sweeney is one of the most important people in the industry in this day and age and it was an absolute honour to be invited to do a mix for his New York City radio show. 2010 here we come.

First Time At The Beach – taken with my Polaroid Square Shooter – Adelaide 2008
Changing my life when i was at a party once, the humble Polaroid. I am by no means a pro, rather i enjoy being a short distance from making photography my profession, for it allows me to conduct myself with a little naivety towards the art. There’s a lot to be said about capturing the stillness of time, all the time.

With my bass; Pride & Joy being stolen last night from my car i have chosen this time to reflect on why i worked day and night to buy those four strings of joy. Bernard Edwards from Chic changed my life, let him change yours. CHIC – Chic Cheer (Bernard Edwards 1984 remix)
