Matthew ‘Bushwacka’ Benjamim distanced himself aggressively from the breaks scene he was once so closely tied with this week. [more]
Undeterred by stern warnings of record temperatures, the crowds gather early on the first day of Playground Weekender. [more]
Allegation: That the accused long-respected maestro conducted mood-altering and mind-enhancing experiments on eager punters. Far-reaching effects of these experiments have yet to be assessed. [more]
Espionage, intrigue and white fluffy things. Plus an ice-melting, regime-busting lineup and much free vodka. Naturally! The Smirnoff Experience parties may be no more than cleverly choreographed publicity stunts… but what impressive stunts they are! [more]
“Greetings, and welcome to the Smirnoff Experience.” This sounds ordinary enough, but coming from a man wearing heavy makeup, a garish striped suit and a big stupid grin lent a touch of vaudeville to a night that begun with more than a bit of mystery [more]
The global journey of the Smirnoff Experience snuck into Brisbane on Sunday night for a select few loyal Smirnoff customers, and others who painlessly searched for tickets just for the chance to be involved in the hype. [more]
What does 40+ degree heat, dusty dirty Albert Park, high speed expensive cars and great quality dance music all have in common? Usually not much, but at the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix, all these forces combine to create one awesome event. [more]
Too often festivals are a fleeting exchange. Not so with Playground Weekender, a festival that’s more slowburn romance than throwaway fling. [more]
The *Playground Weekender* was one of the hot tickets on my festival calendar, with a smokingly eclectic musical lineup and the chance to experience the whole European festival vibe - the event was set over three days in beautiful outdoor surrounds. [more]
It had been some time since I'd been to Sounds on Sunday, so heading there last Sunday, immediately after the 20/20 cricket at North Sydney Oval made perfect sense. Regrettably, everyone had the same idea, and on arriving we were greeted with a queue of no less than 30 metres. [more]
Sun Electric rolls into town for the New Years day bash featuring 10 Sui, Infusion, General Midi, Tom Middleton and Spectrum. [more]
Good Vibrations was a rarity in that it had big names in all their respective scene's, all played good sets, and they were all very different from the last. Hopefully this will be a sign of things to come of Vibes' new incarnation. [more]
The Greenwood has always been an excellent daytime venue - and with the help of Tom Middleton, Andy Smith and a host of local favourites, Sounds on NYD was virtually guaranteed to go off. [more]
Tom Middleton; what a master! A down to earth guy who's more than willing to chat and joke with both male and female punters. [more]
All in all, this was a great night. The crowd ebbed and flowed a bit around the venue as different sets came on, but there were always enough people for a great atmosphere without being too packed. [more]
Fabric NYE....'nuff said! [more]
Good Vibrations 2004 was excellent. I've never really been into live performances (although - I haven't exactly been to many), but seeing Moloko proved to me just how much more exciting it is to see a live performance that it is so stand around and watch a DJ. Nice one. [more]
Good Vibrations: we'd seen the line up, read the blurb and made our plans. Did it live up to the hyperbole? In many respects - yes it did. [more]
The Australia Day Weekend is always a big one, and this years was no exception with the Good Vibrations Festival rolling into town to take place at the Botanic Gardens River Stage. [more]
This fortnight we’ve got one of the most varied collections of music for you to wrap your ears around, with techno, house, minimal, dubstep and breaks all getting a run. [more]
Tom Middleton - One More Tune
Master Middleton drops a double CD mix album covering two decades of hand raising tunes, with Middleton’s magic touch leaving us with a sense of modernised dance melding with some of the old-skool. [more]
Tom Middleton - Lifetracks
Tom Middleton is quite possibly one of the world's greatest chillout and deep house artists, and his artist album 'Lifetracks' is the perfect example of this man’s incredible ability to produce the pure essence of musical brilliance. [more]
The 3D concept is, as it sounds, about three dimensions: the music that a DJ would tend to play in a live setting; examples of his studio work; and selections of chill-out or ‘back to mine’ type music. Three dimensions of recommended listening! [more]
Tom Middleton is a magician. No DJ on the planet today can transcend genre and era as seamlessly as this man. A bold statement to be sure. [more]
Over a friendship spanning fifteen years, the names Tom Middleton and Mark Pritchard have become synonymous with the quality and innovative music they've produced. [more]
Tom Middleton's obsession with offbeat covers shone through in his excellent 2004 mix album The Trip. As an extension to this, Middleton has reportedly been sifting through web pages, forums, and chat rooms in order to source the best and worst cover versions released. [more]
... the key to The Trip's strength is that while there is a heavy handed splattering of variety and quirkiness here, Tom Middleton manages to blend and program these tracks with a certain elegance leading to near perfect timing enabling each track to shine brightly. [more]
