Memories of Miss Memory

“What can be ascertained after a few mins of any GLK gig is a superhuman energy level that’s matched by extensive knowledge of old & new hiphop, psych rock, funk, soul, jazz, IDM, jungle, dubstep, and whatever hot-shit underground-club mutations are springing up tomorrow.” thestranger.com

Last time Gaslamp Killer came to Australia, he was a relative unknown. Yet he came and rocked Sydney so hard people were carrying on about it for months after. If you weren’t there for his last performance you are redeemed because he is back and he is ready to melt your face with a wall of bass!

GLK is part of the Low End Theory family, a league of pioneering beat heads including Ras G and Flying Lotus who put on a night every Wednesday in LA. They have a podcast that is totally worth listening to.

It’s gonna be big. See you there!

Oh yes, the lovely Headroom crew have asked me back to unleash some weird-ass hip hop madness on the unsuspecting crowd, and after a nice holiday in Berlin I am busting to play all the new tracks I have picked up, and perhaps even a few of my own

Hopefully the sound engineer at the civic hasn’t read my previous post otherwise i might be in trouble. Or maybe he’s been fired. Here’s hoping….

Tweak Laboratory closed its Bondi Junction doors this week after 7 years. The studio has been such a hit that since 2002 it has never advertised, and all work that comes through the door is from word of mouth.

The studio has always been very client focused. Each artist is unique and is treated as such. As well as serving some smaller corporate companies, it also has served as source of support for artists, including providing services in production, composition, recording and mixdown. A great list of credits have come through the door. One of the first was DJ Bonez in early 2003, when Paul Newcomb was engineering. Others include Australian composer Gavin Lockley, Single Gun Theory lead woman, Jacqui Hunt, spoken word artist Tom Jack of Hearts, JJJ unearthed winner Yunyu, multi-award winning composer Davood Tabrizi, virtuoso violinist Sophie Serafino, Australian electro label Southern Outpost, and dozens of local Sydney popular and underground artists who have enjoyed the personal touch, career consultation, referrals, and above all, the care they deserve when working to create, develop or finalise their musical creations.

Currently the studio is in transit, while i wander off to europe for a month, and with a bit of luck and a lot of construction, re-open in Darlinghurst early September.

Thanks to all my clients and musical friends for making Bondi Junction a safe haven for a boutique recording studio. See you all again really soon.
