Neurotic Drum Band is John Selway and Elliot Taub. Their music has that playful, tongue in cheek sci – fi feel. Kitsch but also fresh Neurotic Erotic Adventure is an amazing 8 minute sonic journey.

Winston | No CommentsAfter a good friend of mine introduced me to Beats In Space a few years ago i have never looked back.

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.

Girl In The Blue Dress – taken with my Polaroid Square Shooter – Barcelona 2007
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.

The Juan MacLean are one of the greatest electronic acts of this decade – hands down. They are touring Australia again around New Year. As I said in the last interview I really want to hang with Juan. Probably his biggest achievement this year is remixing Sidwho?’s Bowie For President.
Winston: First off I would like to say how amazing I thought your show was last year with Cut Copy.
Juan MacLean: That was actually or first bit of touring that we did in almost 2 years – that was sort of the warm up for the album tour.
Winston: You were playing the theremin a lot is that something you still do?
Juan MacLean: I put it through a lot of delay and wah wah pedals sometimes on the record – live I play it quite a bit. It’s a hard thing to stay away from actually – I find myself playing it more than I should. I have been playing it since I was a teenager.
Winston: Are you still touring with the guys from Holy Ghost? Read the rest of this entry »

The finally installment of our chat with Agent 86 of amazing Lightspeed Recordings. They have recently put out 2 more singles since our first installment (great read if I do say so myself) – Go Chic Lightning by Bodie Lee and Acid Strings by Fromage. Checkout their launch party at Cuckoo Bar on the 12th of December.
Winston : How did hip hop eventually came into your music or was it all just music to you- irrespective of genre?
Agent 86: It is all just music to me. Hip hop has influence me more than any other form of music. Having said that hip hop is just one angle of my music. I play rock and disco – it is just music to me. I kinda have a certain sound that I like – and when I say sound I don’t mean a particular instrument or type of sound. It’s kind of like certain melodies and keys that I like. I guess in strange sort of way they all connect together even though they might be different genres Read the rest of this entry »

Prince of Persia AKA K-Von is one of Adelaide’s more compelling DJ’s. With his ubiquitous record bag of dusty vinyl gems he has toured Brazil with Nokia’s annual MobJam party, played the underground depths of Sydney’s infamous Club 77 aswell as our own Rocket Bar. Rather unsurprisingly his forray into production is equally as compelling with Williamsburg Get Down to This.
Prince of Persia – Williamsburg Get Down to This
He has also put together a mix that he describes as ‘2001 a Space Odyssey’ meets ‘Rumble in the Jungle’

The only live band I have seen this year that really impressed me was the Swiss – sorry everyone else. They are the coolest ever. I can’t put my finger on it but there is something more to them than just a trio super talented musicians letting loose. I think we are all waiting with baited breath for the their second EP out on Modular.
Triple J’s accolades are sure to be the first of many to come over the next few months for the new EP with tracks like Bubble Bath – available to stream on Triple J. Check out their interview aswell – Tony is pretty funny.
