Just a quick reminder that Payday launches at Augusta House tonight. Big thanks as always to those of you who have been spreading the word, or who have at least been patient about me pitching it for the past couple of weeks. Hope to see you tonight!

Last night I finally locked myself away and recorded the demo set I’ve been promising in honour of Payday, which launches at Augusta House tomorrow night. The set clocks in at 49 minutes and 31 seconds, and you can download it in MP3 format. Many thanks to those of you who have been spreading the […]

Do you ever have one of those lazy, unproductive days where you decide to post something on your blog just so you can say you accomplished something that day that wasn’t a Portal achievement? Because I’m pretty sure I’m having one of those right now.

Don’t forget that Payday kicks off at Augusta House on Friday, 23 October 2009, just one week from tonight. Splattermonkey, Vijay, Dynamite Chris Wright and I will be spinning the best of of retro, pop, hip hop and soul, and we do hope you’ll join us. The flyers are printed, and there’s more information to […]

Today is Blog Action Day, and the theme for this year is climate change. So it seems like a good day to congratulate David Suzuki on winning the Right Livelihood Award, an honour known in some circles as the alternative Nobel Prize. Suzuki was selected due to “his massive contribution to raising awareness about the […]

The DJ roster for Payday has been confirmed! I’ll be joining Splattermonkey, Vijay and Dynamite Chris Wright at Augusta House on Friday, 23 October 2009, and it’s sure to be an awesome party. Stay tuned to this space and the link above for more information in the very near future, including the flyer and maybe […]
