September! Dynamite-Disco All-Stars
Saturday 24th September sees another HIGH FIVE RECORDS & Broaden a new sound themed party.
I love these parties - from preparing the set to the night - they're always fun to play.The line-up:Matt Sutner
Corvair
Sassquatch
Data Takashi
Marc Latillahttp://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=164847570264274While I'm not a fan of garden variety compilation D-I-S-C-O, I appreciate that the genre broadly formed the basis for much
of todays dance music. There is this great book called LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE which offers
a pretty exhaustive history of disco and it's pioneering artists and DJs. It gave me plenty of tunes to track down and I've
found some really interesting oddities and surprises. What is fascinating is how much of the orginal disco has been sampled,
lifted or downright stolen - not just in the last 20 years but even within a couple of years of releases back in the 70s and early 80s. This is for me is the basis of a set - playing the original versions which will sound familiar to many without hauling out DANCING QUEEN et al
and mixing it up with some disco inspired newer stuff.Check out as an example Carol Williams - Love is you from 1977 which is better known as Groove Jet by Spiller from 1999. Nice but
to LOVE BOAT for me.This GRUM remix of Everything Everything's MY KZ, YR BF covers disco inspired newer stuff.As for rest, you'll have to come on Saturday! If the regular mixer is there I'll attempt to record the set on the night for a post.

Cover versions DJ set Sat 10 September 2011
An unusual DJ set coming up this Saturday (10th Sep 2011) in that it will be made up entirely of cover versions.
Not just any old covers...but specifically current indie/rock covers of mostly 80s tunes.I guess indie/rock 80s tunes that were themselves covers also count (I'm thinking TAINTED LOVE, SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO or
I WANT CANDY) although these are so entrenched I could play the originals and most people would think they were the covers...like one of
my REFORM! favourites HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE.This party is put together by the ROCKFORD folks and features the newly christened BATTLESHIP DJS (read their manifesto here:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Battleship-DJs/106736979432820?sk=info), DJ BLACK TO THE FUTURE and AMPIE OMO.
Ampie played played trombone for FUZIGISH (I think??) and also backed VIOLENT FEMMES when they played SA some years ago. He
currently plays in BOO! The party is at KITCHENERS CARVERY cnr Juta & De Beer str in Braamfontein. Doors open at 9pm with a R30 cover. Here is the FB event:
