August 30, 2020It’s mostly tunes with summer related words in the title, but there are a few tracks I’ve put in simply because I remember hearing them in a field somewhere when the sun came up… Pure vibes here, recorded in early July off the back of the Solstice as part of the Seasons Change series. As our favourite DJ there’s not…
July 1, 2020The brutal realisation that I wouldn’t play most of my record collection again before I die prompted me to start doing All My Records. As the name suggests this is is me playing all my records by order that they’ve ended up in my shelves: left to right, top to bottom, how they’re currently sitting. Single deck show, one off…
June 21, 2020It’s been quiet here, and that’s probably been expected. There’s been sickness, job losses, the best and the worst of people discovered all over the globe and within our own backyards. I’m sure you’ll agree people much smarter than me have had much more relevant commentary to share as the world changes. For me personally, it’s been a pretty intense…
April 23, 2020Like so many great explorers before him Kamikaze aka Paul Ackroyd has been turning his thoughts to Space the last few years. Here he gives us ‘Cosmic Explorations’ across three hours. I love hearing his voice in full radio mode again, especially with the isolation we’re living through. Didn’t realise how much I’d missed it of late. This is…
March 20, 2020So much new music coming through to us right now. Off the back of Rollin’ With The 9s Paul Ackroyd aka Kamikaze brought a new concept to the table: The Equinox. This is Part 1 (in what will hopefully flower as another mini-series), his stunning contribution to the instant of time when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of…
March 16, 2020Remember earlier this year when we parred end of year themed lists and mixes? Well, like so many other standards across the record world, when done right there are exceptions to the rule. Each year, around this time, Jimmy Monsta Funk blesses with an epic collection of music from his vinyl purchases for the previous calendar year. To reiterate, this…
February 12, 2020Mincy done slayed this one. Guesting on Sgt. Pokes and N-Type’s monthly show Pirate Copy, she took the opportunity to showcase Australian producers exclusively in her mix. I first met Mincy about six years ago. Back then she hustled like crazy holding down a full-time job, working as one of Sydney’s top alt-photographers, producing zine’s and the like, and generally…
December 29, 2019Following on from Paul and myself’s offerings, Jimmy Monsta Funk gives us a stellar selection from his own stacks of wax, closing off Rollin’ With The 9s strong. Beginning in 1929 he manages to go across jazz, pop, funk, electronic, house and pirate radio. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, the dude is crazy deep with records.…
December 28, 2019If you missed yesterday’s post here’s where we’re at: end of year lists are dumb. Kamikaze, Monsta Funk and myself are instead using the bandwidth to pull records from previous decades ends. Hence Rollin’ With The 9s was born. This was originally going to be one mix tied together but given the fact that the mixes are designed to be…
December 27, 2019Instead of giving you yet another yearly roundup (let’s face it, no one cares about these except record stores pushing old stock, and most of them went out first week of December somehow) we’ve taken the end of 2019 as a chance to re-examine the final year of previous decades as well. Rollin’ With The 9s gives Kamikaze, Jimmy Monsta…
