By way of preamble, I'll be spinning songs of science, fantasy, travel and liberty from 6 til screen-up. Saturday January the 27th ~ Jack Off emerges from another interval of pert performance pieces (hear Lewis Coleman's livewire bracket of last week here) ready to kick back and stew a few extended recordings from 3 til 5 on FBi.

Core-strengthening concepts for those heading out... Wednesday January the 17th ~ Swingin' at the Speakeasy is back at Palmer & Co.

Thursday January the 11th ~ Witness Wicked Little Letters writ large on a vast screen that rises out of the harbour down by the Botanic Gardens, as Sydney's Open Air Cinema manifests for another summer. I'll spin for several hours from 6, as the sun sinks and bats ascend. Friday January the 12th ~ If you were dreaming of joining infamous injured stars for the extravagant excesses of our Sham DJs NYE shindig at Dean and Nancy on 22 but missed out due to a lack of funds / mystical equipment, do not despair - my solo bracket there this weekend is accessible entirely free of charge. 9PM til 12.30AM. Saturday January the 13th ~ Jack Off is the penultimate stop on this week's itinerary. Tune in between 3 and 5 to discover exactly what kinda flash fare will air. Two polar opposites have been tossed up thus far: Alex Cameron and the Cosmic Psychos. I'd be stoked if we could welcome either back frankly. Time will tell! Directly afterwards I'll be quenching my thirst with the most unimaginably inventive cocktails conceivable at Maybe Sammy, all whilst somehow multi-tasking by deejaying at the very same time!

Thankfully the tasks at hand for me are free and aim to be elevating for all at this challenging time.

Then double up at The Trocadero Room as I follow DJ Soup with a midnight til 3 set of every music ever. Saturday January the 6th ~ Tune in to Jack Off between 3 and 5PM for a soothing suite of sonics that steer clear of the snipers and side-swipers whose ways are numbered. Break free of any siege mentality and make a leap of faith to join me at the debut public outing of the Sydney Festival's new Moonshine Bar, the site of this gargantuan Hi-Vis art installation by Michael Shaw at Pier 2/3, down in Dawes Point. Before Charlie Villas brings the bangers later, I'll spin 120 minutes of stunning summer songs at sundown - acknowledging the miracle of any of us having made it even this far, both together and alone. |
