Arguably the most influential DJ in the genre’s of Hip Hop and Funk, the pioneer himself, Grandmaster Flash is coming to The Espy Friday January 6th. A demigod to so many many pro and aspiring DJ’s, the Grandmaster has influenced so much of Hip Hop music and culture and continues to do so to this very day.
How many rappers out there have a political science degree, have helped build an orphanage in Afghanistan, spent a year in jail as well as managed to sell about 300,000 records without using a record label? One, and if you haven’t heard of him, his name is Immortal Technique and he’s in town!
American house music god Ian Carey is set to grace the stages of Brisbane’s iconic venue The Met for a one time only show on the 6th of January 2012. With the buzz of New Years Eve and New Years Day slowly fading, January 6th is the perfect time to get your 2nd wind and keep the Summer hype going.
The irony of going to an Australia Day Eve event headlined by a couple of English DJ’s aside, if you are a fan of Electro, Breakbeat and Techno then you will be forgiven for celebrating Australia’s national day with Plump DJs at Villa Nightclub in the heart of Perth.
If the Mayan Calender has told us anything (and I think it has) New Years Day is the first day of the last year of the world, in which case, you need to make the best of everyday - and what better way to do it then with The Potbelleez, Havana Brown and The Stafford Brothers at the biggest hotel in Australia.
With Australia Day not to far away, your probably wondering how to combine your love of all thing clubbing, with patriotism towards your country… How do you do this? Well party under the sun poolside at one of Sydneys most well known venues, The Ivy Poolclub.
If you haven’t made plans for New Years Eve this weekend then it is time to really get your shit together!!! Sydney is renown for its NYE parties so if you haven’t made the call on where to be for it, we know just the place. Featuring Erick Morillo, Dimitri from Paris + Ian Carey, the Ivy is the place to be.
Returning to Australia for another round trip in February is Los Angeles native Ras G and The Afrikan Space program for 4 shows in major capital cities, delivering the experimental, healing and easy listening sounds that fans have become accustomed to since the early 90′s.
If anything says Australia Day more then tanned bodies drinking around a pool then I haven’t heard about it in the 27 years I’ve lived in this wide brown land. So in that spirit, Electric Playground in the heart of The Valley is the place to be for the Australia Day in Brisbane!!!
Taking advantage of every public holiday on the calender is something that if you aren’t doing, then your license as a seasoned clubber is revoked. With this in mind, Australia Day Eve, the 25th of Jan 2012 should be earmarked for a big one.
