ITM surveys Australia's DJs; "would you play a Corey party?"
Created On January 17th, 2008 by i_have_ADD
No one really knows how much longer the Corey saga will last, although it doesn’t take a genius to predict his 15 minutes in the spotlight are probably nearing their end… The notorious Melbourne teenager, who grabbed headlines around the world after his weekend house party got a little out of hand (cue riot police, a helicopter and the dog squad arriving to disperse the 500 drunken teenagers), found himself inundated with offers to host his own parties this week.
Corey claimed to A Current Affair that someone in Brisbane was willing to pay him $2,000 to appear at their event, and promoters in Sydney and Melbourne declared they’d have him do under 18s parties, asserting he could make up to $10,000. As everyone knows the cornerstone of any good party is the music, so we thought it would be interesting to see what sort of DJs he’d be able to book. Over the past day we’ve undertaken a quick survey to find out whether some of Australia’s most notable talent would be willing to play a ‘Corey Party’.
Our pick of the names suggested for the proposed event would have to be ‘Corey presents SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT – All Day Mega Rave’, but of course we’re open to further submissions, so feel free to weigh in with your opinion in the comment box below. We’d also love to know what sort of tracks you think you’d hear at such a party… an electro-house remake of NWA’s ‘Fuck Tha Police’ perhaps?
Acid Jacks – Fuck yeah, Corey has already booked us for his parent’s anniversary. But we told him we won’t wear any faggy sunglasses.
Goodwill – I would probably play at a Corey event because I cut my teeth at house parties and even though he is a bit of a knob I think he is doing a good job of rinsing this for all it’s worth. I would open with Tiga’s ‘Sunglasses At Night’ and then go straight into ‘My Future’s So Bright I’ve Gotta Wear Shades’. Coxy [Carl Cox] lives down that way, so he could do a surprise set, during which time I’d get into some “biff”. All of this would be totally “SIk”. Is it at Corey’s house again? I’ll pay for their flights out of town and Coxy could take care of the cleaner’s bill. At the end of the night we could have a massive bonfire to burn all the fluoro that the kids were wearing, and Coxy and I could ride off into the sunrise on one of his motorbikes. What’s the date of this gig?
Bass Kleph – What do ya mean? I played the first one! Sure I’ll do the next one too, as long as this time we do it at Hook N Sling’s place, and fRew does the video diary.
Pocket, Poxymusic – Would I DJ at it? Sure… but only if I could touch his sunglasses. And maybe perhaps… later… play a set, just to his sunglasses. I’d also have to close with Bros ‘When Will I Be Famous’.
Bexta – Sure, that’s just what it’s all about, dodgy promoters. Always has been, always will be… we need more of them like a hole in the head!
Will Styles, Funktrust – Corey seems like the ultimate spoilt brat with an over-developed sense of self worth and delusionary aspirations towards grandeur. I’d love to play for him.
Ben Korbel – I’d consider playing for him if he provided me with my own Popemobile to DJ in; a vehicle/DJ booth that was riot proof and protected me from a potential stampede of sixteen year olds. Such a stamped might happen if I was unable to meet repeated requests to play the latest Sneaky tune.
Grant Smillie – The answer, in short, is no, I would not DJ for Corey. It’s all good to have a party, but at the end of the day we want to be there for the music, not for any other reason. It’s easy to throw a party, but it’s very hard to throw a good one that also looks out for everyone’s safety. Hope he cashes in soon, because his 5 minutes are surely ticking!
Tydi – Sure… Corey, if you’re reading this, I might consider it. I want three limos for me and my mates to and from the venue. You’re also going to need another helicopter as well. On arrival I need you to personally carry my tunes to the stage, and then fan me with palm leaves throughout my set. Do we have a deal?
Jeff Drake – Only if he could give me three words that rhyme with Corey. I do see a few problems though… Gatecrasher is already a club, he and his mates would be the security yet he’s scared of his parents, and I’m not sure I have the right pink doona to get in. Plus I don’t have any $10 servo sunnies. The biggest problem, though, is whether these kids would actually pay to go to a party. They could just walk around urinating on people’s lawns for free! The actual party would just be me and Corey locked inside waiting for the police to go away. So, no, not a fucking chance.
Ben Morris – No, because he wears fluoro.
Dopamine – I would love to play the next riot that Corey organises. Provided I’m supplied with body armour and I don’t have to take requests… to buy booze.
Derek {K} – Sure I’d DJ… if he pays back his parents the 20K then he can cough up top dollar, so he’s got something going on and I want in. He also has to take his glasses off at the party, and there’ll be no requests… of course!

hey I thought of two names for the event, future corey festival or messydayze. Burn the fluoro!!!
tabuckla1978 says...
isn't there anything else in the news worth reading? This guy is a wanker of generation WHY! At least some sour publicity for the "muzza type" instead of ravers for a change. Any DJ's that play for him, I certainly won't be supporting!

zealbee says...
This whole article should go in the hall of fame. It is an absolute classic. Except for Smillie, he didn't go along with the joke but I guess his music is the joke.
barkus says...
im a bit disapointed this story is still accessible considering he and his mates are up on child porn offences allegedly related to the party. if i'm wrong, give me my eggs to suck. otherwise pull the article

there is a movie called idiocracy... a guy gets frozen in time in a military experiment and ends up in the future. this future is a dumbed down version of the world, everyone's I.Q has dropped, the president is an ex-wwe wrestler. basically society is dumb as fuck and celebrates the mediocre. watching this corey shit happen along with people like paris hilton being looked up to tells me maybe a future like this is not that far off for real.
Hyperfunk says...
Hi guyz, i was the dj of corey's party. Was Rocking, And am looking foward to playing at he's next big one.
Deejay_Dynamic says...
Sure id DJ. You would expect to hear a remix of Twista's 'Celebrity Overnight' and Alice Coopers 'Billion Dollar Babies' going out to his underage mates.
ewokie says...
I especially love Ben Morris comment of "No, because he wears fluoro". Ben... your a great guy, and a great DJ... but this comment from the man who was resident at the biggest fluoro party in town??? (i.e Kink) ??????????
ewokie says...
very lol
omgROFL says...
the only reason this kid is famous is because of stupid articles like this. stop writing about him, arrest the kid, fine him with 2 years community services of 50 hours a week, send him to a boarding school on the Northern Territory and enlist him in the army what a fucken loser - get him out of the limelight

ewokie, i hear your parties are just as awesome
michaelcostin says...
ewokie - kink isn't a fluro party. never has been. might get a bit of cross over because that was the "trend" for a while, but for the most part kink's crowd has never been fluro. i think you'll find events like trashbags and all the festivals are the biggest fluro parties in town. for a guy who claims to know so much about the industry i thought that was obvious.
olt77 says...
yes i would love to DJ corey's party i would pull the needles off jam them down his throat pick up the table smack him over the head an play him the village people all night long from a tape play little self centered ass clown

Pocket and Will Styles have the best responses.
Adz_10 says...
Potentially the funiest article I have ever read... LOL "Provided I’m supplied with body armour and I don’t have to take requests… to buy booze."- Dopamine HAHAHAHAHAHA
ewokie says...
Goodfella... I dont make claims on anything, but everytime I went there... it had more flouro than any other club Id ever seen. Ben did leave for subservice and sweetchilli though, so you gotta give him credit for that.
dj_onanism says...
seriously - keep this sort of pfaffery in the forums, not on the front page where the herald sun can have a field day with context
aBeatPlease says...
corey is a fuk wit... nuff sed
Heath says...
what a waste of time survey - come on ITM where's your journalistic integrity. this muppet should be kept out of the news. why help perpetuate the idiocy of this loser.
roflcopter says...
deary me - relax people! It's a joke because it's a joke =) Yeah OK the chick who interviewed him initially should stop taking lessons from Anna Coren and stop trying to tell people to take a good hard look at themselves... who on earth could give a better answer to that than this kid? And remember that HE IS A KID! he is only 16 .. it's just hilarious. And good luck to him. Yes its his 15mins of fame, that he did not ask for and seems to be taking in his stride. Good on him. Man I respect him more than I respect Shane Warne and look how much publicity that moron gets. Funny shit gets publicity. let's just be proud we are Aussie; Kids have Awesome Parties that get them in Heaps of Shit.. and journalists sometimes look like dick-heads and the public gets all riled up with something to talk about. It's all good. nobody is bombing anything. Relax.
mckenna says...
ewokie you are a bigger muppet than corey.
Subservice says...
I must say I laughed pretty hard at Ben Korbel's, Dopamine's, Will Styles' and Ben Morris' comments, but I do have one question: WHY DOES ANYONE CARE? This kid is nothing but a spoilt brat who is loving the attention. He's like a little child throwing a tantrum - the more attention you give him, the louder he'll scream. Just ingore him and let him live his pathetic little life and one day he'll realise what a douche he is. Pandering to his ego is just making that day take longer to come.
alchops says...
montosory
James Corbett says...
Haha Love Bexta and Ben Morris' comments... couldn't agree more... Further more he's just a spoilt brat who thinks he is cool for what he is doing.. We have probably seen him on A Current Affair years ago when he was 5 running a muck and screaming at his mummy and daddy when he didn't get his own way. There's no way I'd DJ at his party, imagine all the tools that are friends with him? You gotta like the crowd you're playing to in my opinion.
the_pezman says...
lmao mr. drake, the kid is scared of his own shadow track listing would prolly go along the lines of some r. kelly, a "touch" of michael jackson then to close, "girls and boys" by blur
Adz_10 says...
LMAO funniest thing i have evaaaa heard!!! Dopamine topped it "Provided I’m supplied with body armour and I don’t have to take requests… to buy booze" LMAOO
Oli Fernandez says...
you should have asked the Stafford Brothers.

DOPAMINE YOU FUNNY C*NT!!! haahah your malarious!

Smillie "Hope he cashes in soon, because his 5 minutes are surely ticking!" - How ironic
elliottt says...
Mr {K}....... No requests? Because your musical repertoire is so much more sophisticated then the taste of Coreys crowd... ;)
