DEEJAY
Mr Shit is a disc-jockey for the ages - a broad-caster and eclectic specialist renowned for his detailed, site-specific sets of stirring sound.
His collection spans all era's and genres of recorded music - CD's, vinyl and even shellac gets a spin (he possesses the world’s only 3-armed, hand-made, dual turntable on which to play his hundreds of classic 78s) and he is widely respected as Sydney's finest wedding DJ.
Perhaps that's why this year's Splendour in the Grass saw fit to book the man to play not only the secret, feral, late-night, laminate-only, Tackle Shack - but also to marry those low-order lurkers with high society in his role as the sole selector at the proper peoples' Gold VIP Bar all weekend. Schizo Shit, my friends! Here, then, is what it sounded like as the first night's hangovers melted away under the peach sunset of day two - simply Splendid!

For a taste of the other side - the raucous 50s, 60s and 70s sounds that whip any crowd into a delirious frenzy - here's a bracket Jack laid down on debut at Goodgod Smallclub. 'Twas a sultry summer eve and Sydney Festival's First Night. Tens of thousands had partied in the streets for free. Sweat dripped from the ceiling and things got completely and utterly Wild!
~ Jack is available for all manner of public and private functions ~
