To quote Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons “Oh what a night.” After having such a fantastic time playing DiscoBee/DiscoTech back in ANZAC weekend I was super stoked and totally honoured to be asked to play the GAAAATEZOOONE at Winter Solstice Ōtepoti || Dunedin 2025. Apparently in previous years GAAAATEZOOONE was a smallish renegade kind of vibe in a small gazebo but this year they upgraded it to a massive stage roughly the size of a horse float and a much boosted soundsystem and it was sooo much fun. The crowd was amazing, friendly, upbeat and up for a good time and I was super stoked to be able to help them with that. Mad props to Jack, Albany & Robyn, ShowerCap, Vanessa, Matt Hatt, Jimmy, Hanna, Anna, Chris Boyd, Ruby, Miro, everyone who came up to me over the night who said “hi” and all the rest of the party peeps that I may have forgotten. You made my night super special and it was a great way to celebrate my birthday week. Arohanui, CG0 xox. Tracklist Artist - Song * Justice - Generator * Robyn - Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do * Gregori Klosman - Funk It * The Presets - No Fun * Fatboy Slim - Everybody Needs A 303 * Man From Mantis– Digitalis * Crash//G0thic & DJ Pink Dino - Hey BB (Exclusive) * Charli xcx - Speed Drive * D12 - Purple Pills (Walker & Royce Edit) * Lynks - Pedestrian At Best * Uffie, Pharrell Williams - ADD SUV (feat.

On the Friday night of the April 2025 edition of DiscoTech a.k.a. DiscoBee I had the honour of playing the 9 PM set. The crowd at the festival was super lovely, chill and friendly; and despite not being a home crowd I received many kind words about my tunes. So if you like ElectroClash, Disco, House, Glitch, BootyBass, Indie Rock, Grunge, Psyche Rock, self deprecating lyrics and everything in between make sure you give us a good listen. Peace out homie! CG0.
On Friday, 7th March 2025, I had the absolute honour to open Hide Club in Otautahi, Aotearoa for Audiofreq, presented by Rinsed and HDR. It was a long time between club sets so I was super psyched to play some hard, loud, cheeky techno! Enjoy!! Peace, Crash.

Kerry's Birthday Party

Kerry's Birthday Party

2023-06-1301:13:07

My good friend Kerry asked if I could play her birthday party. Fresh off a banger of a gig at Obie's I thought "hells yeah!". The brief was upbeat party vibes so I played the likes of Justice, Bowie, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Haiku Hands, Soulwax, Uffie, Duck Sauce, The Rapture as well as one of my own towards the end. Party on yo!
Last Saturday I had the honour of playing tunes at my very old friend Obie's 40th birthday party. We've known each other since youth group days in the mid-90s and in fact I started DJing youth group discos a couple years after that. We're both quite different people in many ways these days but we still know how to party 🫠 Little did I know it but James Curd was headlining! This makes it the second time that I've played support for him, what a night!! This set features the latest from Terr, a funky wee number from DMX Krew, a Bowie remix, Kyle Watson smashing a kick drum, an Armand Van Helden remix of Uffie, a classic from Phoenix as well as one of my very own tunes, Disco Brutus (F.L.O.). Enjoy xox
Remember surfing the World Wide Web, downloading your first MP3, illegal warehouse raves, reaching for the lasers, Smart Drinks, Jolt Cola, and who could forget the brown acid... DON'T TOUCH THE BROWN ACID. "Return To Cyberia" is a musical homage to Douglas Rushkoff's 1994 book "Cyberia, Life in the Trenches of Hyperspace". In it he pictured a psychedelically connected Earth via Rave culture, Gaia and The Internet. Today things look much different but we still might be able to... Return to Cyberia. This recording of "Return To Cyberia" is a live recording for radio of 100% original music written, produced, mixed and performed by Benet Hitchcock aka Dr Hitchcock. To book Dr Hitchcock to perform this live contact Benet on: Email: drh@starlifter.fm Signal / Mobile: on request Mastodon: https://hackers.town/@drh IG: https://www.instagram.com/starlifterfm/
Woop woop! On this show I played: Artist - Song Dr Hitchcock - Dark Lorde 8888 feat. Ben Johnson Phillipi - 9000 Red Axes - Some Lights Carl Cox & Fatboy Slim - Speed Trials on Acid feat. Dan Diamond (Riton Extended Mix) Tiga - Mind Dimension 2 - 2022 edit Unloved & Raven Violet - Turn of the Screw - Erol Alkan Rework Wet Leg - Too Late Now - Soulwax Remix LO'99 - Acid Worldwide - "XY" Remix Benjamin Fröhlich - Club Fantasy - DJ City Remix Channel Tres - Acid In My Blood Yazmine - Spell (Stullett Remix) Radiohead - Climbing Up The Walls (Zero 7 Mix)
After 25 years of DJing Dr Hitchcock, aka Benet Hitchcock, has released his first original song “Dark Lorde 8888”. A dark 303 acid bassline and spacious 808 drums drive the listener on, as melancholic keys from the Microfreak encourages them to look around. Before too long a distant voice shares what we’re really here to do. Dr Hitchcock describes his new track as a “Stumble-trip through the dark cyber valley on your way to the pixelated castle high up on the hill.” Over the years Dr Hitchcock has run indie dance club nights, such as the Mixtape Connection, launched underground Internet radio station 8K.NZ, programmed the airwaves for independent FM station RDU 98.5 and released the Ōtautahi (Christchurch) mix CD “This is NOT the Christchurch Sound – Vol. 1”. 2022 sees his first solo effort hitting the ones and zeros. The past seven years have been a little quiet on the music front due to his young family, but six months ago during preparation for the move from Ōtautahi to Narrm (Melbourne) he caught the synthesiser bug. “Dark Lorde 8888” is what he hopes will be the first of many songs to come. This is not the first time Dr H and Ben have played together. In 2007 they collaborated on the Electro Pussy Posse (EPP) track “Minor Enlightenment” which closed the “This is NOT the Christchurch Sound – Vol. 1” compilation. “Dark Lorde 8888 feat. Ben Johnson” by Dr Hitchcock is available on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and all the usual streaming platforms.
This is one of my first mixes since the big move to Naarm and is dedicated to Cuppo; a cute little cafe out the front of Brunswick West Workshop, a studio and co-working space. This set features songs mostly of a psychedelic groove and includes the likes of Tame Impala, Melody's Echo Chamber, Flyying Colours, Mod Con, Mermaidens, Jefferson Airplane, Bird Nest Roys, The Sundae Painters, Jeffrey Lewis & The Rain, The Seeds, The Lovin' Spoonful, Jimi Hendrix, Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, and David Bowie.
This set has a real sense of rhythm and groove. The start relies on sophistication and attitude with beats and pieces bridging the middle. Harder beats come on after that with a real feel of that mid 2000’s Electroclash vibe. Towards the end Prog makes itself felt and the whole set is book-ended with some big 90s house. Can ya dig!? Listen in for the ear candy!
Kia ora! In these mad crazy times what else can you do but make a happy wee song that tries to bring people together. We ask all to help Ukraine anyway they can: https://war.ukraine.ua/support-ukraine/ Aroha nui, DJ Daisy & Dr Hitchcock

In this my first DJ set for 2021 I'm continuing to play tunes in the same vibe as I did in 2020; there's plenty of Electro, House, Techno, Acid and Indie remixes.
Life begins at 40 so I celebrated my birthday in style at Smash Palace. Friends and whānau, new and old, braved the Ōtautahi cold for some funky beats, 80s steez and modern classics. Markj aka Mr Soundfood snuck in from Melbourne, Australia while the travel bubble was open and treated us to a truly Dr Hitchcock style set, Tom Cosm smashed the floor with some funky house and disco, Pinacolada Soundsystem brought the true 80s vibe to the night and I played what I usually do 😜; perks of being the birthday boy I guess.

Last Sunday I had a blast hanging with old friends and playing tunes at my 39th birthday party. The first half is rock, the second half electronic. It seems to be a bit of a trend at the mo.
