MR GLASS @ TONIC IN MARCH....

Here's a couple of bang on gigs Mr Glass is playing at Tonic in the Cross. This Friday I'm playing with Slim from UK's Good Groove Records "SLY PLAYERS"

On Saturday 27th, Gian is hosting a well overdue "Strictly 45" Soul & Funk night.

SAMPLED with MR THING from UK

Stop the press... Mr Glass is sharing the decks with Mr Thing from the UK this Friday. Check out his latest compilation offering on BBE. If that aint enough, Katalyst is also joining us fresh out of the studio after producing the super soul-fi Space Invadas project with Steve Spacek.

We've included Mr Things, The Portable Anorak mix below for your downloading pleasure. There's a mountainous plethora of dynamite funk breaks & left field soul. All cut, sliced & diced by the hands of Thing.

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:

SOUL CLAP: This Friday 21st Aug @ MELT. 8pm til 3am

This is the evening chapter of the Ali O Show fundraiser. Sydney's finest DJs dust off the soulful platters to raise a glass and a few bucks for Ali O's family.
The 20 dollar entry fee goes straight to Ali's partner Amy and their daughters.
Come and dig deep for the family of Ali Omar, a man who dug deep with his music and soulful contribution to Sydney's creative landscape.

I'll be dropping a shit load of fresh soul vinyl gold from my London cargo. (see above post and download ya good self a sample of what Iv got for you...

Mr Glass last Sydney tram, oops I mean jam.

Im off to UK & Europe for a month. This will me my last gig til' my return, come join me and Robin for White Revolver Bondi Jam this Sunday. It'll be good bye winter blues and hello European music festivals.

Thumbs up for these fresh gigs

Fark... Funkinc kicked on Saturday night and sucked in if you missed it. I will take this opportunity to make a big shout out to Frenzie & Simon Caldwell for their superb services. Robin & I played between the lads and then I bought the bacon on home with the last shift til 5am.
I have a couple of gigs to endorse coming up over the next few weeks: Niche productions presents
Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire@ Ruby Rabbit Friday 8th Feb,
With Mark Walton & a great bunch of locals. I will be on the top floor VIP bar, (DE NOM) banging out some choice soul funk cuts and bent boogie tunes for the champagne ladies & cashed up gents.



The second gig I give the good old double thumbs for is the Turntables on the Harbour gig. Yeah, you got it! Nickodemus from Turntables on the Hudson in New York is being returned to Sydney for another night of eclectic jazz beats and dance floor breaks to name but a few of the genres you may hear at this event. I saw him last time he was in Sydney and he ripped that shit up dude. He's a fav of my good mate Tom Thump in San Fran and they regularly cross the states to play at one another's gigs. If I hadn't been playing with J Boogie the same night in SF, I would have caught him there as well.
Sat 23rd Feb-Boat Party. Click on fler for more details
Those crazy Germans the Mo Horizons will also be on the bill. Sadly enough, we SoulShakers are not on the bill but do not let this discourage you from the best gig this town will have that weekend.

Listen to Nickodemus-Give The Drummer Some (Fort Knox 5 edit)

FUNKinc Australia Day

We have returned for 2008 with a monster line up. Simon Caldwell & Frenzie are joining Mr Glass & Robin Knight for a night of Savage Soul, Deep Disco & Bent Boogie to help us celebrate the birth of this great nation.
I've dropped a nice little party starter for you to sample. The band needs no introduction as you should all know them and this is one of their bigger dance floor tracks. Click below and get into a a touch of Crown Heights Affair with Say a Little Prayer for two. Its got the lot! A classic driving disco funk number with all the ingredients for a jumping dance floor. I reckon I'll drop this and a bunch more similar sounds next weekend.
I'll be back later today to tell you of my 2 weeks adventure up and down the coast, I found a couple of gems I've been after for sometime and will share the experience with you.
