The Jackster and Martin Jay... recovering together

When I arrived in Sydney a month ago I read a column on ITM by a guy called Jackster.

I dragged my fiancée with me and the rest is history. [more]

Long weekends, don't we all look forward to them? There is something about only working a 4 day week that makes life that little bit more bearable. Why I chose to spend the Queen's birthday celebrating in a strip club, well that's a question I don't want to ever have to answer to my mother. [more]
Two years have passed by, and in Sydney's fickle market this sure is quite an achievement for Kink - so congratulations to the whole crew! A hell of a night, and I for one am already looking forward to next year's third birthday. Will they get there? Without a doubt. [more]
There's nothing like the first night of a long weekend to get people to loosen their trousers and head out on the town. This Easter, the final Clean and Serene at the Burdekin was all the incentive most good, clean, house-lovin' folks needed to crank things up in a suitably carefree fashion. [more]

Whenever you hear the name Armand van Helden, for some reason you can't help but associate it with deep and funky basslines and kick ass house music. I sure as hell hoped that Armand van Helden would turn Home Nightclub upside down... and he did. [more]
It didn't matter to me that it was bloody cold, that it was a Friday after a long week at work and that I was wearing a nurse's uniform in the middle of Oxford Street. For the third year in a row Clean and Serene was being turned on its head and I for one was of a Dirty and Delirious mood. [more]

Still recovering from the previous Dirty and Delirious event held here at the Burdekin, the crew and I were expecting a more Angelic affair, were we ready to get clean and serene? Were we ever! [more]

Community Spirit - Geek Rock (Shamus & Jackster's Bondi Bitch Mix)
Basically, this is just a remix. It's mixed by a couple of Aussie deejays, and it's good - but nothing too special. The original mix is mashed up with the over use of catchy guitar riffs and the use of a break beat. [more]
