September 27 @ Ambar in Perth, according to the street press here. You'd assume he'll be doing some east coast dates as well. More details to follow.
Bring along your copies of Confusion and get 'em signed. Or your old Rockers Revenge twelves.

D'you think he's gonna open all his sets with, erm, AC/DC again? 
Hmm... I'll be rather hoping for the Korma & Bones Confusion, that warped Good Vibrations or even his remix of, erm, Fleetwood Mac's Big Love.

My missus absolutely loves AC/DC. As a consequence, I'm a little too familiar with their back catalogue for my own liking....
Having said that, "You Shook Me All Night Long" fucking rocks!!!!
Why don't you pack up your gear and take the missus on a pilgrimage to West Australia, Olde Bleu? Bon Scott's grave is just twenty minutes away and then I can show you all the attractions of Perth. Not quite sure what we'll do after lunch though.

Can't thnk of anything better than spending time chez charge. However, keeping a 21 month old fidget pants under control for 18hrs on the plane? I think not! And he'd break all your stuff when he got there.
Arthur Baker was on 100 greatest men on VH1 yesterday, anyone know if any of the Order was on it as well??? i was unable to watch it all...
Got that Arfur's latest the other day.....Disc 2, the Old Skool disc is full of classics!!! And The Confusion recording in there is the best quality recording I have so far.....

You phillistine! can't you see it's the spinner of the disc and not the maker who is worth 10 grand an hour? DJ culture has always kind of passed me by. My dad could be DJing once i've had a pill, i really couldn't give a fuck. I've never understood that people go to 'see' DJ's, you go to see bands. I'm a big fan of the chems but when they did that DJing thing at Ally Pally in 98 every time they put a tune on they'd part their arms as if to make out they've done something spectacular and everyone went MAD. I watched for about 5 mins then went back to the bar, where they really do produce spectacular material!!!

It really does depend what type of music you are mixing. Some music lends itself very well to being mixed with other records and is specifically constructed with a 2/2 or 4/4 beat pattern for this very purpose, it all works in beats of 4,8,16,32 you see :) House, Trance and Drum&Bass are quite minimal forms of music and playing the records on their own isnt particually exciting after you've heard them half a dozen times! the interest comes by when you create new unique sounds by blending together beats,bass and synths creating additional polyphonic effects using the mixer and levels. What you are in effect doing is creating a live new form of music right their in front of the clubbers! Listen to DJ's Like Sasha,FatboySlim,Grooverider,Andy-C and they create a unique technical masterpiece with music everytime they perform.
Not to everyones tastes i agree, but when it is done properly and skillfully it is indeed an art.
