The City Rises #063 w/ Dan Beck

What a treat this week. First up I dropped a bunch of new tunes from the Finest Ego | New Zealand / Australian Beatmaker Compilation on Project Mooncircle. Not only does it showcase some ridiculously talented locals from the region, it’s also free! (Unless of course you want to grab the strictly limited cassette version). I could have easily played this whole comp for the first hour but your just going to have to grab a copy to hear it yourself.

I also squeezed in a tune from Declan Kelly aka Dream Kit from his forthcoming EP on Two Bright Lakes as well as the upcoming Inkswel on Boogie Bash. See, not everything comes out of LA!

Along with all the usual suspects you’d expect to hear on the show we also had Melbourne boy and Perth ex-pat Dan Beck in for a chat and a mix. Aside from being a really upstanding dude he threw down a really great and eclectic set that spanned about 20 years of music. Dan’s been DJ’ing a long time now and the breadth of his selection really showed this. Good to see him get his juke on!

The City Rises #053 w/ Tyson Ballard & Trus’me


Double the trouble this week, not one but two guests in the form of Adelaide’s Tyson ‘Bucking’ Ballard (Voyeurhythm Records) and the UK’s Trus’me (Prime Numbers). They treated us to some unreleased business as well as some classic tracks on the house tip. Tyson was in town for his Voyeurhythm party at Croft on Saturday. Speaking of parties, big shouts and happy birthday to Mr Declan Kelly, hitting 30 in style with a cracking warehouse party at Anytime Place in Brunswick. Post party I kicked things off in a hazy style with some downbeat business from FS Green, Ruckazoid and Machinedrum before moving into 4/4 territory as a warm up for the guests. Unfortunately some random fluff caused some grief on the new Shake remixes but you can be sure we’ll be caning those tracks for a while to come so it won’t be you’re only chance to hear them. See you next week!

The City Rises #051


Had in a guest DJ from around the traps in Melbourne, previously of Adelaide, Mr. Sammy Soda, who delivered an amazing mix of techno, minimal wave, progressive, psychedelic jazz, ambient electronic and kraut sounds, I was quite blown away. Top Quality. You can catch him DJ’ing on less of an abstract tip at the Croft Institute.

Also dropped some awesome new cuts from Shigeto (check his amazing live drumming), FS Green & Full Crate (mixes), LA beatmaker Juj (part of LA’s Weddit Collective alongside Shlohmo and others), the stunning new single from James Blake collaborator Airhead, the first new Farben in seven years and the new single from Alfabet, a collaboration between Amsterdam’s Tom Trago and Steven De Peven (of Rednose Distrikt fame).

The City Rises #047 w/ Simon Winkler


Martin L in the seat this week after a short jaunt in Japan. Loaded up with super hot jams from the likes of Perth producer Ta-Ku plus goodness from Melbournes Inkswel, Maxmillion Dunbar, Teebs, Letherette, James Blake, 2562, Northworks, Jneiro Jarel and Hidden Hawaii (next level $hit right there).

Then as an extra special treat Melbournes Simon Winkler graced us with his selection skills for the second hour. Simon co-hosts Breaking and Entering on RRR on a Monday evening (4-7pm) but the later time slot really let him get abstract and drop some super exclusive jams. Essential listening from one of Melbournes finest.
