Oh my lord, the Sex Tags experience is returning to Sydney: that being Norway’s brothers-in-armsDJ Fett BurgerandDJ Sotofettgoing back-to-back in an all-night throwdown.
If you saw the duo last time around (almost exactly a year to the day), then you’ll know this is not a gig to be missed. Not enough for you? Cap that with support from the UK’s Going Good founder Brian Not Brian and we have one of the shows of the year on our hands. It’s going down on Friday April 1, venue TBA. Stay tuned to facebook.com/70heavenly for further details.
Who’s been in the game for over 40 years and has amassed a collection of over 90,000 records? The original don from New York Danny Krivit, that’s who. And he’s coming back next month. Best known for his releases on 718 Sessions and Body and Soul, Krivit is a master in everything ranging from disco, boogie, soul, funk, garage, Afrobeat and more. Y’all can catch him on Sunday April 24. Again, the venue is being kept a secret for now. Bookmark facebook.com/soulofsydney for updates.
A few weeks ago I teased that a tour announcement from Mo Kolours[above] was on the horizon – and today I can happily confirm it. Since first emerging in 2011, the half-Mauritian, half-English producer known to his parents as Joseph Deenmamode has been garnering attention through a slew of EPs featuring low-slung MPC sounds interlaced with carefully curated spoken-word verses. Space out with the voodoo master behind the One-Handed Music imprint on Saturday April 2 at Oxford Art Factory.
It’s time to order shots and slur out ‘Happy Birthday’ to one of our favourite crews. This Sunday March 27 our mates over at S.A.S.H are turning five with a huge bash, featuring a host of internationals over two venues throughout the day. During the daytime it’s going down at the Greenwood Hotel headlined by Nico Stojan, while once the sun sets it’s time to head over to Home Nightclub with Sammy Dee, Sonja Moonear, DeWalta and Pepperpot. There’s a discount for fancy dress, so get in the spirit.
Tour rumours: Just sayin’, maybe we’ll see a return from the We Play House luminary and Berlin selector San Soda next month. Don’t be surprised if a staple from the Cómeme imprint visits soon, either.
Best releases this week: OK, not out just yet but goddamn, Omar-S has just announced the release of his latest LP suitably titled The Best. You can head to omarsdetroit.us to hear samples right now. It sounds luuuush. His first album in three years is dropping on Thursday March 31. Until then, I suggest spinning Buz Ludzha’s (AKA The Cyclist) Basslines For Life (on 100% Silk) and Antigone’s Saudade (Token).
