Around the end of 1984 it all started for me at the Iconic club The Mars Bar for my first residency around the same time guys like HMC, Adrian Zac and many other legendary OGs were dominating the Adelaide nightlife scene.
HMC worked at Soul Man records where I first met him when I would go in and purchase the only imports you could find in Adelaide at that time. This was before Central Station records moved in upstairs in Adelaide Arcade establishing and cementing the brand that was to become our thriving underground scene in SA as we know it today.
My first 3 gigs in the mainstream straight world around 1991-1994 was support act for Dead or Alive at Heaven nightclub, A big Whare house party at an empty wharehouse on Adam street behind the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Another somewhere in Port Adelaide at some derelict wharehouse.
The other defining gig for me was with The Dirty House Crew who ran events promoting Juice records and the legendary HMC who was dominating the world with his techno sound from Adelaide. They ran dirty style themes it was then Promoter extrordinaire Toni Clarke asked me to run a “Lick” room based on my infamous “Lick” monthly parties at Club Freezer in the Hilton Hotel. DirtyHouse records produced many wild parties in the 90s it was this particular party “Intercourse” at St. paul’s nightclub for me I believe was the turning point that created a scene within a scene which brought open minded Gays and straights together to create an amazing open minded and gendered parties it was definitely Adelaide’s finest parts of clubbing history. it was a safe space to create, play safe and experiment with music and fashion.
Adelaide fashion in the 90s saw local labels such as Truck designs, Miss Gladys Symchoon, Central Station, Youthworks and Dorothy’s closet.
My inclusion to any of the mentioned above parties always stunned audiences with my infamous leather gear inspired by my heroes Joan Jett and Suzie Quatro a theme common with the girl DJ with the boys name.
I somehow in the right time in history became not only a pioneer of the Australian dance music culture but a trend setter, gender bender and one of the first to create gender equality and acceptance in South Australia. F#%*ing with people’s minds since the 80s and super proud of it!
Thank you for the memories! this jogged quite a few for me and I reckon I should use this as my opener for a book?

Im absolutely loving all the new house music that is coming out, particularly the Piano charged uplifting house grooves. OMG the old school house sounds over a tempo that is to die for. BIG DIVA VOCALS to add to the party and you have this MASSIVE MIX "Piano in my HOUSE" get your ears around this! House music if you hear it, you can't help but move to it!
When asked to play a House set at a party feat none other than HMC the godfather of Techno I was super excited to take up the challenge. Ive been waiting for the next generation of uplifting piano producers to come up with enough material for me to make up at least 2-3 hour sets of good quality House. FINALLY Ive found a cache of amazing new tracks to program for this set and create a new change in musical direction. With only 45 minute set, I was torn trying to find the right flava and tracks to set the tempo and have the "Famiglia" crowd screaming, dancing and begging for more. Here is the short list of tracks that made the cut I hope you enjoy the energy this mix brings "THIS is my HOUSE" going out to my FAMIGLIA!

It has been a few years since I have really liked buying new music nothing has really jumped out at me style wise for such a long time. Since leaving the resident club gigs its been hard to find a style that suits me. Fast forward to 2024 and the music that is being produced currently and available through great music download sites has sparked my interest again. The future sounds have been nailing the festival circuit with some EPIC productions and here on this mix is a few of my favourites. Im looking forward to playing a set at a club or festival soon.
