Paradise Lost: Midnight Sun

Last night I had a vision.

We were in this beautiful warehouse.

It was filled with people, dancing and smiling UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN.

There was a guy in a lobster suit and a bear wearing a fez and lots of fruit. And the music... I've never heard music like that before. I asked who was playing and a voice said "Mikey Miutante, Brut33, DJ Silvio, James Bucknell, Harry Sounds and James Weirick".

Someone passed me a flyer, it read:

Twenty Four Hour Lover

Ooh baby.... The Twenty four hour lover is keeping with my recent mix formats. All cuts are taken from 7" originals with the pace picking up with disco funk & boogie gems. No pilfered, stolen or acquired digital downloads here bro, and no cd or compilation prostitution. Its just two turntables and a one take mix of 45s, so its a little rusty in places cos' I had a few wines & cant be fucked starting again. None the less all the booty shakers are of the same vibe and a nice indication of the sound we're gunna to lay out for you this Sunday.

Dont freak out, I aint no purist chin stroker, any format is cool in my school. Its all about the music not the format. Buy, play, download it any way you can. I have thousands of digital files I'll manipulate into mixes and release on your ass someday soon.

NOEL BOOGIE in the Disco mix

PRODUCER / DJ / SCRATCH ARTIST
Noel Boogie - DJ par excellence, and amazing young Sydney based music producer. Noel recently toured Canada where he astounding audiences with his super-dextrous 4-deck set and creating dancefloor mayhem everywhere he went whilst dropping his own tracks in the mix. From Canada, Noel then went on a crate-digging expedition in NYC and Colombia and arrive home with a fresh booty of dusty grooves, some of which he has dropped in this tasty lil disco boogie mix.

In all NB's sets you'll be treated to a fine selection of funk, disco, afro beat, soul, hip hop, breaks, dub, IDM and oddities, all precision mixed, sliced, diced and cut with the skills of a turntable surgeon. Noel’s latest party trick is a solo set on 4 turntables, where he splits tracks into parts for exlusive live remixing, using the other 2 decks for scratching and sound effects. Noel Boogie is also a member of Silent Partner - expect to hear much, much more from this incredible talent.

Get more of Noel here at www.myspace.com/noelboogie or Catch him Sundays at Cream Tangerine's Sunday Best @ the Swiss Grand on Campbell Parade Bondi from 4pm til late.

In all it's original glory.....
For your listening pleasure.

DJ Frenzie's Tribute to Mel Cheren

“This was a really hard mix to put together. The reason being that Mel Cheren's back cataloge is just so huge, and I really wanted to cover the various styles represented by the 3 labels that he worked with.

Mel Cheren was known as the godfather of disco, and with good cause. Details of his involvement with the Paradise Garage, his pioneering DJ record pool, his ground breaking DJ Promo 12inches, and his various charity work for Aids victims can be found else where on the internet.
With this mix I tried to cover his time at Wand, Scepter, and of course Westend (whose tunes take up the majority of this mix).
There was still so much ground left to cover, such as the early hip hop work that Spyder D and DJ Divine produced, which to this day I still can't find - although I do give B Beat Classic a spin. (Any sellers get in touch!)
Mel continued releasing records through West End right up to present day, and there is a whole catalog of recent music that didn't make it into this mix, apart from the beautiful Leela James tune, which I hope may give a sense of what the label is producing in recent times.
I also made a conscious decision to include one side of the classic mastermix medley produced by Tony Humphries in 1982 - Simply because it is just so awesome, and really flies through some of the classics from West End that I didn't have time to play in their entirety.
So here it is - My take on one of the legends of dance music.
RIP Mel..”
Frenzie
