REFORM! turns 1
REFORM! is turning 1 this month. Hard to believe really...
So we're going to throw a big Saturday party on 13 Nov instead of our regular cosy Thursday party.
It'll be at the usual Kitchener's Carvery at Milner Park Hotel cnr DeBeer & Juta Str Braamfontein
from 9pm with a R20 cover charge.
There may even be cake...or shooters...or both.
As promised some months ago, here is the REFORM! DJ mix in two parts

REFORM! Thu Oct 14 + music connections post
Charles & I are back on Thursday for our pre-1st birthday party!
In real terms we've just started walking...but seriously, who would have though a couple of DJs playing the kind of way out stuff we play (for JHB anyway) would still be doing it after a year?
So that DJ mix I've been promising is going to be a birthday present. Check out the next post.
We're also planning a Saturday party for our 1st birthday for all the people where a Thursday night is difficult to attend. More with the next post.
This months music post is a little off the regular REFORM! hits fare.
I recently purchased the Thai Beat a Go-Go Vol.1 album. It's all 60's Thai garage bands doing covers and some original stuff all influenced by western garage and pop of the time.
Two stood out clearly as inspiration for other tracks:
Check out the intro of 'Kratae' and the start of Sonic Youth's 'Creme Brulee'. Uncanny!
Twin Peaks's 'Dance of the dream man' owes much to 'Phom Rak Khoon Tching Thing'
I'm off to get Vol,2 now

INDIEBLEEP sleeve
A little under a year ago, the idea for INDIEBLEEP came into being.
It finally sees a release in October 2010 after much chopping, changing and clearance denials.
The album was mixed live in one go (but the 6th take!) at home with a pair of CDJs borrowed from Charles Leonard and represents a typical set from the last year.
Although most DJ mix compilations are mixed beat perfect using software, I could not bring myself to even consider the option. It had to be authentic...read: not altogther perfect!
On a good night, beat mixing is an accident as it's not really a requirement for the music. Since moving on from Cellardoor in 2007, I've found that dancier music has become more prominent in my sets and it's become fun to try and mix properly.
My very first steps in DJing was at a gay club (ex HEAVEN which become THE DOORS) where I worked the lights. Andrew Wood, the resident DJ and person responsible for mixing the HIGH ENERGY compilations, taught me how to mix. It was all SL1200 turntables and vinyl in those days.
INDIEBLEEP was a word I made up to use on flyers to describe what I play at most parties - a combination of indie/alternative and dancey remixes. Depending on the crowd I play more or less of the dance.
This is the final tracklisting and running order:
| kidofdoom | Notare |
| The Horrors | Scarlet Fields |
| TV On The Radio | Staring at the sun (Diplo remix feat. afrika bambaataa) |
| Amanda Blank | Shame On Me (Yuksek Remix) |
| White Lies | Farewell To The Fairground (Rory Phillips White Horse Mix) |
| Headman | Dirt (The C90s Remix) |
| The Units | High Pressure Days (Rory Phillips Remix) |
| Vampire Weekend | The Kids Don't Stand A Chance (Chromeo Remix) |
| Passion Pit | To Kingdom Come (Grum Vocal Mix) |
| Friendly Fires | On Board |
| Santogold | L.E.S. Artistes (Ooh Ee Remix) |
| Wolfmother | White Feather (B U R N S Remix) |
| Digitalism | Pogo (Beni's Re Edit Re Work Re Mix +) |
| The Big Pink | Too Young To Love (Delorean Remix) |
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) |
| Desmond & The Tutus | Crazy Rebel (The Sound Remix) |
| Kele | Tenderoni |
| Two Door Cinema Club | I Can Talk (Radio Edit) |
| Kite In The Air | Stinger |
Although this is my 3rd compilation, It's the first one I've ever mixed
And yeah, I'm a bit of a Rory Phillips fan...
