LollyGag Promotions Presents : LLik LLik LLik's 1st Bday @ Transit Bar - Ft. Simon Caldwell (Mad Racket) & Ronnie Gordon (Freakshow Disco).

Well, its been exactly 1 year since we moved from humble beginnings at a little joint on northbourne ave to our new family @ Transit Bar, and what a year it has been!

We have seen the likes of Melbourne Techno don's Haul Music represent our night, the boys from Melbourne Techno Collective, Dan Block and his easter weekend visit that packed out the house, Gavin Keitel dropping 2 hours of booming beats that bought back all the oldies for a dance and two of the most respected international producers in techno : John Selway and Kazu Kimura, which we all know lifted the roof for the lovely supporters at our bar! We have had immense fun putting these parties on for you and we hope that you can join us for our first Bday Party @ Transit on Friday the 21st of August.

To headline the night we have Mad Racket extrodinaire - Simon Caldwell heading down from Sydney :
_______________________

Simon Caldwell is one of a handful of DJ's whose name adds a certain integrity to an event. Throughout the 15+ years he's been playing records to beer drinkers, bum shakers and radio listeners alike, he has managed to avoid the stifling 'style' classification so many other DJ's trap themselves into, keeping himself free to draw on his varied loves of deep, soulful house, techno, funk, jazz, electro, booty, hip hop and anything else which catches his ear.

Born and raised in Sydney, Simon began playing records in 1991 when he inherited the Funk Inc. show on 2-MBS FM from Paul Carroll, playing a mix of funk, jazz, soul, hip hop, house (and whatever) for over five years. During this time he also teamed up with Trevor Parkee for some small gigs, which soon led to a residency at the now legendary 'All Funked Up' night at The Bentley Bar alongside co-residents The Continental and Kid Dolphin. Over five or so years Simon held residencies on six out of the seven weeknights at the Bentley Bar. In this way he managed to showcase his diversity, switching from the retro flavours of 'All Funked Up' to the tribal/deep house sounds of Thursday's 'Cuba' with Seymour Butz and Nervous. Simon also began to play at the Funk Inc parties and various small events around town, always noted for bringing new flavours into the mix, dropping instrumental hip hop and future beats (before they came up with that wonderful term Trip Hop) into 70s funk and Afro beats.

As Simon's notoriety slowly spread, club promoters started to take notice. On a club dancefloor Simon could finally indulge his other musical passion * soulful house and techno - and it didn't take long before he was being booked, not only at clubs, but at larger events too. At first in back rooms, then in main rooms, Simon acquired a reputation for playing "The Morning Set", and began to develop shocking sleeping patterns. To the present day Simon has rocked the dancefloor of practically every venue and clubnight in Sydney, with notable residencies at Home on Saturday nights and The Chinese Laundry. He is regularly booked to play peak sets at some of Sydney's biggest house events and has pitched his skills alongside dozens of internationals, including Derrick Carter, Derrick May, Andy Weatherall, Mark Farina, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Q-Bert, DJ Godfather, Richie Hawtin, Kelli Hand, Frankie Knuckles, Gilles Peterson, Norman Jay, Thievery Corporation, James Lavelle, Ian Pooley, Luke Slater, Chris Duckenfield/Swag, Charles Webster, Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area), Steve Bug, Daft Punk, Recloose, Common Factor, Patrick Forge, Losoul, Stacey Pullen, Carl Craig, Rolando, Blake Baxter, Claude Young, Ectomorph, Dave Clarke, Russ Dewbury, Jamie Liddel, Kid Koala, Sharon Jones, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Public Enemy, James Brown, Grace Jones, Todd Terje, Jazzanova, Heiko Laux, Quarion, Daedelus and Ark. (And by ‘alongside’, we mean on the same stage, not tucked away at a tiny bar at the same festival or adjoining suburb).
