What up family!! Been a great couple of weeks, rocking the O-week parties, meeting lots of new, VERY hip RadMon inductees, supporting BLUEJUICE (!) and gearing up for a big year. Just found out I'll be hosting a show: THE REEL-ISTS with Mike "Mikekay" Katz & Dan "Paradox" Gale, so expect to hear more from me...Oh and playing a particularly extended set at the Launch Party on Thursday with Galapagoose, good dancey shit to get down to.

For now, this is the high-rotation stuff...

I Need A Dollar by Aloe Blacc

What up Radio Monash, past, present and future members! New year gearing up, thought I’d check in and catch up, after a good 8 months since my last post...

In short - went to Eastern Europe, got fall-down drunk for a lot of it, haggled with street merchants for old cassettes of Turkish psychedelic folk music, wrote some new music at any piano or keyboard I could find (props to my hostel in Antwerp for supplying a baby grand in my room!), got back to London for a few weeks of hardcore record digging, eventually crashed back home with a head full of new sounds, which you’ll probably hear about in the next few paragraph.

Hello Radmon! How i’ve missed you.

I’m not at uni this semester - doing a record with my band & then running away overseas for a few months - so this might be my final communication with y’all for a while.

So here’s some tasty stuff to get you through the springtime...

Lee Fields & The Expressions - My World

Hallo peoples, hope those looming exams aren't getting you down too much. If, like me, they are, here's some choice new music you should wrap your cold ears around...

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Dark Night of the Soul

Hellooo!

If you've followed my last few posts, you'd know that I've been hyping the hell out of Melbourne boy Daniel Merriweather and his latest yet-to-be-released album.

RCRDLBL, an MP3 netlabel are hosting a remix competition for Dan's first single "Change, featuring Wale" and I had a bit of time to muck around with the stems on the weekend. Now it's uploaded and I have the chance to get recognised by both Merriweather and his musical partner in crime Mark Ronson, if my remix is deemed popular enough...

So check it out, give it a spin, support local musos and producers!
