Doc Daneeka:
It’s not common for an artist based in Wales to become the toast of underground music, but Doc Daneeka is just that. With releases on Ramp, Fabric, PTN & Well Rounded in the bag, Doc Daneeka has started his own boutique label, Ten Thousand Yen, releasing other fresh artists like xxxy, Julio Bashmore as well as his own unique material. Bookings all around Europe at the end of last year solidified Doc Daneeka’s energetic DJ sets as one of the most sought after performances by clubs all around the world.

Nick Hook:
Heavily responsible for the grimy techno-soul of NYC’s Cubic Zirconia and the greasy bass of Drop The Lime’s live show, DJ and producer Nick Hook has been “twisting knobs” (self-description) for a minute now. He is no stranger to the dark underbelly of late night clubs, having played in some of the finest temples of boom the world over. His unique strain of acid-fried basslines and vintage drum machines have kept him in demand amongst a smorgasbord of musicians, as he is currently working with El-P of Company Flow and L-Vis 1990 of Night Slugs. He also has red hair, which is a plus in our books.

Jillionaire:
Universe schooled, Caribbean made, the Jillionaire is a DJ like no other. He has previously teamed up with M.I.A, Switch, Major Lazer and can currently be found representing Diplo’s record label, Mad Decent. Combined with his energetic onstage presence and versatile sound, he hypnotizes jillions across the globe.

Red Rum Touring & Cassette Nine Present.

THE MAGICIAN (KITSUNE/BELGIUM)

His background is shrouded in mystery, his powers are supernatural and his reputation is whispered about among men.

He goes by different names, but folks just call him The Magician.

Hailing from the ever popular and fashionable Kitsune label, the Magician has proved with his stellar productions that he is at the forefront of modern disco at this present time.

On Thursday the 24th of November The Magician is here for the first time in New Zealand to put you under his spell and make you dance like there is no tomorrow. So come get lost in a purple haze, transfixed in a flurry of white doves. As he will make party goers float through a disco heaven and takes them around the house on a magic carpet ride.

Saturday, October 15 at 10:00pm - October 16 at 6:00am

Cassette Nine

This weekend Razzle Stack returns with some special international guests and a stellar lineup of local ladies!

From Sydney we have MC Kween G + Bad Ezzy with support from MayaVanya, Bridge, R.I.A, Pizza Cat & your host M-Tron.

In The Man Cave we have Safari Boy DJing and Outfit Theatre Company celebrating the wrap of their rad show Love After Dark.

MC Kween G and DJ Bad Ezzy are the newest duo on the musical block. Already established in their own rights as members of KillaQueenz & Hoops the ladies have joined forces to create something new and exciting in club land.

Between them they have the experience of supporting the likes of Public Enemy, Dizzee Rascal, Salt N Pepa, Wu-Tang Clan, Diplo, Kelis, Lady Gaga, The Presets, Yolanda Be Cool, Rye Rye, South Rakkas Crew, Tha Alkaholiks, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Lucky Dube and many more as well as gracing the stages of countless festivals including Good Vibes, BDO, Groovin’ The Moo, Splendour, Parklife, Falls, We Love Sounds and Laneway Festival.

DJ Bad Ezzy is renowned for throwing down mind blowing sets that journey through dancehall, Hip Hop, bashment, tropical house, UK funky, dubstep, garage, club bangers, heavy bass jams and everything in between. She has a knack for picking future sounds and a reputation for leaving a trail of blisters on the dance floor.

As an MC, Kween G’s focus is potent content and flawless delivery and style. Kween G makes music that excites, entertains, and enlightens her listeners, but most of all she makes music to “move ya behind to”. Her work ethic and commitment to her craft is admirable, but it is her fighting spirit, courage and humility that has earned her respect across Australia.

2011 promises to be a big year for these talented ladies - make sure you don’t miss this event.

Proud Mary w/Street Chant (NZ) @ 4:20

Scream Walk by Street Chant

Proud Mary w/Street Chant/Cat Venom/MtronBomb/VISTOREY/Tom Tom/Dyson

Friday, September 17 at 9:00pm - September 18 at 12:00am

4:20, 373 K'RD, Newton, Auckland

More Info    Proud Mary is back with her fourth installment presenting Street Chant with Cat Venom, Mtron Bomb, VISTOREY, Tom Tom and Dyson on Friday 17th September, 4:20 K’rd, Auckland.

Street Chant has toured New Zealand with their spiritual antecedents The 3Ds, and were hand-picked to play around Australia with The Dead Weather, while watching every song they released top the b.Net charts.

Street Chant is signed to Arch Hill records - home to their predecessors (The Clean) and their brothers (fellow travellers Surf City, who they’ve shared stages and beers with). Their debut album Means was recorded by legendary producer Bob Frisbee (Shaft, Nothing at All) in 2009, and was released in New Zealand on August 10 ahead of two national tours and a trip to the United States in October.

Cat Venom keep with the punk ideals of old; take something, mess it up, deliver it without caring who cares. In this case, taking the gothic elements (nee: personal loves) of Bauhaus and The Cure but melding it with shades of Robots In Disguise and the devil-may-care attitudes of strong female artists of a bygone age – Lydia Lunch, Exene Cervenka and Siouxie Sioux

Mtron has been a radio and club DJ for years playing alongside some of the finest musical talent from around the globe including Audion, DJ Sega, Yukesk, !!!, Bag Raiders, The Teenagers, Ajax, Villains, Horse Meat Disco, Slap'n'Dash and Ladyhawke.

VISTOREY has been fluttering about the airwaves and local hot spots for the last few years. Just like the urban description, VISTOREY will have you forgo all sleep to spend time with her. Expect girl Pop meets Punk Rock fused together with Italo Disco.

DJ TOM TOM and DYSON are back with the music simply described as perfection. It's Dyson's birthday too so we are making this night extra special.

Proud Mary is a club night for people who enjoy fresh, exciting, pumping tunes. Expect a showcase of some of Australasia's hottest musical talent with people from all walks of life.

Leave your hang ups at the door…Proud Mary’s here for the night.

Shots Of The Day – A Colourful Guy and MTron Bomb @ Be Club!

Hi all,

Featured above and below is a shot of myself and a friend, MTron Bomb, taken after the Derrick May gig at Be Club on last Thursday night/Friday morning.

Personally, I think the shot turned out so great that I just had to feature it.

I mean, really? I’m hot, she’s hot. What more could you ask for? ;)

Kind regards

P.S. I'm a nicer looking version of Eddie Murphy, or so I've been told, and Melissa is a nicer looking version of Annie Lennox, according to me! ;)

Shots Of The Day – MTron Bomb @ Proud Mary

Just some shots of a DJ friend of mine, MTron Bomb, taken during her set at Proud Mary.
