Selections For All Occasions—DJ Mixes by Brendan Clay

One from the archives: This is a promo mix that we thoughtfully compiled for Original Vibe @originalvibemusic in preparation for a subsequent event in Manly. 2017 was an incredible year for us—our very first behind the controls of @atticsydney, our new event and brand. The selections within this mix are equally reminiscent of this very special time for us: it's packed with front-of-box burners that dominated our playlists during the period that have since become anthemic. Take us back?!

Attic returned for a summer soirée at the iconic Café del Mar Sydney earlier this month—the balmy weekend was embraced by the sun-drenched ambience of Cockle Bay. As I like to do, I kicked off the afternoon's proceedings, offering a selection of Balearic-inspired flavours to set the mood and tone, in preparation for the more house-centric flavours to follow. (And they certainly did.) I really enjoyed packing and preparing this particular box—which required many a dig for hidden treasures from yesteryear!—and it came out about as well as I hoped it might! I hope it translates as such for you, potentially offering a tasty aural side dish for your Christmas/holiday preparations and celebrations!

Following recent sombre developments that our beloved Stanley Street Block Parties are no longer—cheers for that, local council!—we thought it appropriate to pay homage to the fantastic times enjoyed by all, by making available our recorded mix from last month. (We failed to realise it at the time, but it may be the very last Block Party gracing the sacred bitumen known at Stanley Street... at least, for the foreseeable future.) The Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I were handed a prime slot for the balmy October afternoon to do our Attic @atticsydney thing. Within the hour-long offering, you can expect our usual blend of fun, fruity, typically disco-skewed house music, with a few fruits from yesteryear thrown in. This is the result—hope you dig! @pole-jam-vinyl @d-phunq @nervous-records @retromigration @ravanellidiscoclub @kai-alce @user-576421441 @1codycurrie @toytonics @daveleezr @suddenmovesmusic @slothboogie @harold-heath @s-a-s-h-sundays

Analogue Discogue is an esteemed hi-fi, vinyl-only event hosted by house and disco aficionado, Norm De Plume. We were invited to join the line-up for its July event: a sun-kissed Sunday afternoon affair hosted at the exquisite, Japanese-inspired Rekōdo Restaurant & Vinyl Bar at Sydney's Barangaroo. Rekōdo's crystal-clear Klipsch sound system sounded expectedly immaculate right throughout the afternoon's proceedings: the clarity and warmth of the system provided an ambient yet immersive experience for diners and listeners, alike. It was an absolute pleasure. The Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I came prepared, armed and loaded with a couple of boxes of carefully-selected favourites—a concoction of newer burners and some favourites from yesteryear—and did our very best to fly the Attic flag proudly. Hope you enjoy! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Dino Soccio - 'Fred's Groove' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 02 : Sleazy McQueen & Vinyladdicted - 'Hot To Trot' (Original Mix) [Kolour Limited] 03 : Buzz Compass - 'Your World' (Original Mix) [Whiskey Disco] 04 : Closed Paradise - 'Cindy Goes To A Party' (Original Mix) [Lovedancing] 05 : Unknown Artist - 'Love In The Night' (Original Mix) [Ltd, W/Lbl] 06 : Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - 'Slo-Fusion' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 07 : Scruscru - 'Love Fusion' (Original Mix) [Ltd, W/Lbl] 08 : Jimmy Rouge - 'Rounders' (Original Mix) [Orange Tree Edits] 09 : Luvless - 'Down With You Baby' (Original Mix) [Tsuba] 10 : Mint Jams - 'Club Members Only' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 11 : Chevals - 'Layover' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 12 : Loveface - 'Smoke Chronic' (Original Mix) [Loveface Music] 13 : Late Nite Tuff Guy - 'Go For That' (Original Mix) [Tuff Cut] @norm-de-plume, @atticsydney, @dinosoccio, @razor-n-tape, @sleazymcqueen, @kolour_ltd, @buzzcompass, @whiskeydiscomusic, @ltdwlbl, @dave-allison, @editorial-records, @scruscru, @jimmyrouge, @orangetreeedits, @luvless, @tsuba, @betterlistenrecords, @chevalsmusic, @loveface, @late-nite-tuff-guy

The big dog, Andrew Fazzolari @andrewfazzolari, blew out an undisclosed number of candles in March and decided to celebrate the occasion with a good ol' fashioned Saturday shindig at Stanley's. The Fazz curated a hand-picked line-up of selectors for the special occasion and generously gifted me the first two hours of the balmy Autumn evening! I entered the venue at the tail-end of, shall we say, a "colourful" daytime takeover that was many hours—and countless beverages—deep, and was greeted by an intriguing soundtrack of popular radio-played bangers from the start of the century; 'Ms. Jackson' and 'Teenage Dirtbag', notably. At its conclusion, we were afforded a few sought-after moments of serenity while the Technics were rolled out and added to the booth. I was afforded the opportunity to allow the dust—and, indeed, serotonin!—to settle, and re-set things with some lower, slower groovers, just as intended. I prepared a bespoke "crate" of selections filled with some of the birthday boy's personal favourites and guilty pleasures, along with others I thought he might enjoy. I believe I hit the brief and was pretty pleased with the result. Most importantly, The Fazz seemed to enjoy himself right through 'till the call for last drinks. In any case, I hope you enjoy it, too. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Dave Allison - 'The Way Is Heart' (Original Mix) [Kinjo Music] 02 : Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee - 'Sweet Love' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 03 : Ben Sun - 'The Answer' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 04 : Late Nite Tuff Guy - 'My Sugar Is Gone' (LNTG Edit) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 05 : Coutel - 'This Is Love' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 06 : Letherette - 'Fresh & Clean' (Original Mix) [Wulf] 07 : Tony T. - 'The Feeling' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 08 : Admin - 'Halo' (Original Mix) [CDR] 09 : Crazy P. - 'Last Knockers' (Original Mix) [Paper Recordings] 10 : Magic Source - 'Genius Of Love' (Original Mix) [Favorite Recordings] 11 : Clive From Accounts - 'It's Not That I Don't Care' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 12 : 78 Edits - 'Come On Baby' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 13 : DJ Snatch - 'All Night Long' (Original Mix) [CDR] 14 : Simply Red - 'Sunrise' (Original Mix) [Universal] 15 : Scruscru - 'Love Fusion' (Original Mix) [Ltd, W/Lbl] 16 : Ash Reynolds - 'Falling Back' (Original Mix) [Slightly Transformed] 17 : Ethyène ft.

I'm throwing this one up from earlier in the year—a mix I compiled and delivered for 'The D&M', a weekly Friday morning radio show on (the now, sadly departed) Orbital Radio. So, as much as I set out to put together and promised a proper sub-100 BPM slow jam mix for Darcy, this one ended up very differently! I, admittedly, hadn't played too many sweaty, peak-time dance floor sets during 2022, yet, I continue to buy music to suit such an affair, and this mix was the perfect opportunity to showcase a handful of them! The mix kicks off with some deep grooves and builds up to some higher-energy burners and features some of my favourite artists and labels at the moment, including Retromigration, Jesse Bru, Cassettes For Kids, Clive From Accounts and Intr0beatz. Hope you dig! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Clive From Accounts - 'Gravitate' (Original Mix) [Dirt Crew Recordings] 02 : Retromigration - 'Arranciata' (Original Mix) [Last Year At Marienbad] 03 : Soul Wun - 'Thank You, St. Germain' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 04 : Intr0beatz - 'Move With Me' (Original Mix) [Selections] 05 : A.J.

The Fazz and I returned to one of our favourite haunts—and a hidden local pleasure!—Stanley's on Stanley for an all-afternoon/all-night pre-Christmas affair. The entire venue was booked for an EOY shindig by the fine folk at Desk Space—a nearby co-working hub—who, I don't mind mentioning, had personally requested our services, having heard one of our @atticsydney mixes playing during a venue inspection. (Humble brag, sure, but hey, gotta take them where you can!) The seven-hour sesh flew by in the blink of an eye, and we had a blast playing for the wonderfully receptive crowd who stuck with us right 'till close. Here is the opening hour, beginning at five o'clock. It's an understandably laidback affair, setting the scene for all that was to come! (And it definitely did.) Hope you enjoy some forgotten favourites of yesteryear, washed down with the usual abundance of lower, slower, groove-laden jams! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : HNNY - 'Hej' (Original Mix) [HNNY] 02 : Queen - 'Cool Cat' (Original Mix) [EMI] 03 : Sticky Fingers - 'How To Fly' (Original Mix) [Sureshaker Music] 04 : Jenevieve - 'Baby Powder' (Original Mix) [CDR] 05 : Thundercat - 'Them Changes' (Original Mix) [Brainfeeder] 06 : Planty Herbs - 'Thank You' (Original Mix) [Intimate Friends] 07 : Lightfoot - 'Digital Wallpaper' (Original Mix) [Dust Collectors] 08 : InI & Pete Rock - 'Think Twice' (Original Mix) [VinDig] 09 : Letherette - 'After 8' (Original Mix) [Wulf] 10 : Saine - 'Casual' (Original Mix) [Fools & Fables Recordings] 11 : Dave Allison - 'Cocktail Blue' (Original) [Kinjo Music] 12 : Ben Sun - 'The Answer' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 13 : Those Guys From Athens - 'Burnin' Up' (Original Mix) [Too Slow To Disco] 14 : Fantasy Love Affair - 'How Can I Forget' (Original Mix) [Chopshop] 15 : Linda Clifford - 'Never Gonna Stop' (DJ "S" Remix) [Too Slow To Disco] 16 : Poolside ft.

We played our first club set under our Attic @atticsydney guise for a little over two years! (Hey, a pandemic might just do that.) For the occasion, we partnered with the fine folk at No Place Like House @noplacelikehouseaus, welcoming seasoned French house stalwart, Art of Tones @llorca, as part of his very first Australian tour. A great booking and an even better bloke! (And, geez, we'd missed the Civic Underground—our home away from home since Attic's inception.) We opened the evening and were gifted a deliciously lengthy two-and-a-half set to get things underway. We kicked off with our signature warm-up fodder and built things up on the housey tip as the room began filling up and feet started moving en masse! Within you'll hear originals, remixes and releases from a selection of our favourites, including Junktion @junktionmusic, Local Talk @localtalk, Tropical Disco Records @tropicaldiscorecords, I Gemin @i-gemin, SlothBoogie @slothboogie, Jehan @jehaan, Sondrio @sondrio, Hotmood @hotmood, Sune @emilsunesson, Scruscru @scruscru, Never Dull @neverdullmusic, Dam Swindle @damswindle, Ed Wizard @dave-allison, Dan Kye @dankyemusic, Felipe Gordon @felipe-gordon, Kevin Over @kevin-over, Demuir @djdemuir and Tilman @tilman—to name just a few! We hope you dig this one! We've had another taste and you can bet that there is plenty more to come in the near future! ;)

While it's one of the more dramatic titles I've associated with a new mix, it's not without good reason. The process of compiling and delivering this mix has worked wonders for my mental health over the last little while. For the last 20 years, music has served as my primary creative outlet, however; recent opportunities to indulge in the craft or completely immerse myself in a creative project haven't been as abundantly available nor really possible. (Most new parents or those working in high-pressure professional endeavours might share the same insight.) So I did a thing. Indeed, my first thing in a little while... Put simply, this was me, pinching available pockets of time, throwing on some music and pressing record while doing so. There was little rhyme nor reason to its execution, rather than embracing an opportunity to process some newer purchases or indulgently enjoying a worn favourite. (My Ecler Nuo 5 being a notable addition into the latter category.) I completed this over a number of weekends—on some days, I contributed only half an hour; on others, a little longer—picking up from exactly the point I had finished during the previous window. It's raw, honest, largely unedited—though, I obviously had to join each session recording—and it's all me, doing something I genuinely enjoy and have done for some time. I hope this translates into a reasonable journey for you, the listener—I'll continue to enjoy it nonetheless. --- : Tracklisting: ...was a little too long for Soundcloud—43 tunes might do that! You can find it here: https://www.brendanclay.com/brendan-clay-mental-health-mix-july-2022/ Within, you'll hear originals, remixes and releases from the likes of: @apparel-wax, @mostlycozy, @shallnotfade, @retromigration, @aterralrecords, @idan_hana, @harrywolfman, @nervous-records, @aribald, @max-graef, @scruscru, @ltdwlbl, @felipe-gordon, @razor-n-tape, @slices-of-life-records, @dj-steaw, @s0undstream, @soulphiction-aka-jackmate, @brawther, @silat-beksi, @jesse-bru, @clivefromaccounts, @groovencediscs, @slothboogie and @janeret. (Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like the whole hog!)

Watch the entire four-hour effort here: vimeo.com/459221923 --- Over the years, there are very few phone calls that we've enjoyed receiving more than those from Cris at @sashsundays. A large, red, circled calendar date typically follows the conversation, accompanied with resulting excitement in preparation for our next S.A.S.H date. Whether demanding a sweaty, pumping late-night/early-morning shift in The Den, the lower, slower, disco vibes in The Maze, or a sun-soaked warm-up effort at S.A.S.H By Day; bookings at S.A.S.H quickly become personal highlights and are always, always subject for excitement. While the pandemic nears its two-year mark and there has been very little joy outside of a few brief pockets of dancing, we were offered a unique opportunity in the interim: We were—quite literally—handed the keys to the kingdom for the purpose of throwing down another edition of S.A.S.H's Lockdown Radio series. (And what a sweet space to spend an afternoon, it must be stated!) We approached this as an opportunity to build our own theoretical S.A.S.H By Day composition—albeit, a condensed rendition of four hours—beginning with melodic, deeper vibes as a "warm-up", and running through deeper house, dashes of disco, with some top-drawer signature S.A.S.H-esque chuggers towards its conclusion. Two parts Attic, two parts S.A.S.H, and plenty in-between. While you're no doubt spoilt for choice with DJ mix content online nowadays; we hope that this offering will quench your thirst for all things S.A.S.H in your lounge room or office, in preparation for a time we're all back together again on the (real) dance floor before too long. And how sweet that will be. P.S. The first hour is available here: https://soundcloud.com/themshift/brendan-clay-sash-lockdown-radio-mix-13th-september-2020

As the dreaded pandemic rolls on—and we quickly near the two-year point—we're due for another entry: Despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December 2020; 2021 had a bit to say about that! Accordingly, with no real end in sight, the series continues—now, the seventh entry. (The James Bond edition, if you will.) Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes. During this current—now prolonged!—period, said opportunities haven't afforded themselves, and we've been forced to get a little creative with regard to a platform for sharing and consuming music together, flexing our creative muscles in the process. Re-enter 'The Lockdown Sessions'. DJs In The Distance. Resuming operating for the seventh edition. We've once again mixed up the order to keep things interesting. If you're unfamiliar, it's a DJ take on "pass the parcel"... in the best way possible. Play four tracks and pass it on. Four more, and on she goes. Without any specific plan nor objective in mind; just four of your favourites—newer, older, a guilty pleasure, a cherished favourite, or something experimental. Whatever you please—it's your stanza. This is the result: a (hopefully) cohesive 80-odd minutes of music from four mates. Four like-minded individuals. Compiled and mixed indulgently within our respective abodes. We hope you continue to enjoy it as much... --- : Tracklisting: : Brendan Clay: 01 : Jesse Futerman - 'Eyes Open' (Original Mix) [SOBO] 02 : Carlo - 'Despues De Nunca' (Original Mix) [Honey Butter Records] 03 : Simple Request - 'Blurred Winds' (Original Mix) [Groovence Records] 04 : Soul Wun - 'Lily Flower (Adele)' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] : James MacGregor: 05 : Spring Reason - 'Venera' (Groove Tools Remix) [Luna The Cat] 06 : Cesar Del Rio & Angel Mora - 'Beautiful Dawn' (Original Mix) [I Records] 07 : Julian le Play - 'Tausend bunte Träume' (Vincenzo Remix Instrumental) [Universal Music] 08 : Greymatter - 'Tisno' (Original Mix) [Unique Uncut] : Ryzi: 09 : DJ Seinfeld - 'Through That Feeling' (Original Mix) [Young Ethics] 10 : Spencer Brown & Qrion - 'Rainy April' (Original Mix) [Anjunadeep] 11 : Eelke Kleijn - 'Control' (Extended Mix) [Oscillations] 12 : São Miguel ft.

Here's one from the archives—a live mix that, for some reason, I've never made public. It was recorded during one of our Attic @atticsydney events for which we toured German house and disco maestro, Tilman @tilman. In contrast to our earlier events that stretched long into the early morning hours at the Civic Underground or Harpoon Harry; this event was a far more intimate, Sunday afternoon affair hosted at Cake Wines' Cellar Door—a beautiful venue which is now, unfortunately, no longer. Despite the unseasonal March rain, the venue's Funktion One system sounded immaculate on the day, assisted by the house Rane MP2015 rotary mixer—also very much enjoyed by the jocks on the line-up. Of course, the free-flowing selection of natural wines kept all in attendance fueled and cheery right throughout, as expected. This particular offering was an early-ish, warm-up effort from me, featuring selections that tickled me at the time that, in my humble opinion at least, still stand up reasonably well today. It's mainly on the disco edit tip for the most part, there is plenty of vinyl included, and it also drifts into more deeper, melodic and breakbeat B-side territory, too—mimicking the melancholic cloud cover outside, perhaps. (I'll let you be the judge.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one, if nothing else! Hope you and your families have a wonderful—and safe—Christmas and new year holiday period. Catch you on the other side, no doubt. x P.S. Tilman also published his set from later in the evening—during which, a couple of Attic residents also joined him!—which is available here: https://soundcloud.com/tilman/tilman-attic-sydney-march-17th-2019?in=themshift/sets/attic --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Andres - 'Pluck Away' (Original Mix) [La Vida] 02 : Ethyène - 'Lost In Thought' (Original Mix) [Kyoku Records] 03 : Soulphiction - 'Welcome To My Limited Capabilities' (Original Mix) [Soul Imago] 04 : The Posse - 'S.A.M.'

Most DJ dads—particularly newer ones—will likely confirm that stealing an uninterrupted hour to yourself to throw a few tunes together becomes a bit of a rare treat. The wife and I have spent most of 2021 handling significant life changes: selling an apartment, buying another one, moving into said abode, bringing a brand new life into the world, settling into our new roles as (human) parents, and all the fun and challenge associated with that—all during a pandemic, no less. Accordingly, opportunities to lock oneself away for a gluttonous hour of music have not presented in abundance. Well, I was lucky enough to do just that last week! It was my first proper mix in our new digs, overlooking leafy Carlingford, and certainly the first since welcoming little Mia into the world. (She didn't offer much in the way of a reaction at the time, but there's still time—I'll keep working on her!) This is an hour of music, somewhat hastily thrown together, without any meticulous planning, rhyme, nor reason. Included are a few newer burners that were previously untouched and unplayed, along with some largely forgotten—and, indeed, recently relocated—gems on vinyl from yesteryear. In short, if I thought it might sound reasonable at the time, it went on. If you fancy a listen, you'll hear efforts from Sune @emilsunesson, Tilman @tilman, Retromigration @retromigration, Finnebassen @finnebassen, Session Victim @sessionvictim, Clive From Accounts @clivefromaccounts and Felipe Gordon @felipe-gordon, to name a few. Hope you dig!

So, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—perhaps soon, though?! In any case, despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! Accordingly, with no real end in sight—and hot on the trail of the fifth!—we decided to keep the dust off this format and serve up what is now the sixth entry. Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes.

Promo Video: https://www.facebook.com/atticsydney/videos/564920698291514 It's that age-old, well-worn cliché: "music is the essence that brings us together". Well, cliché or not, it couldn't be more accurate in considering this offering. The last little period has not been without challenge: the dreaded lockdown—the second coming, as it were. We have been apart, away from the DJ booth, away from the dance floor, prevented from doing the thing we love: sharing our passion for the music for which we dig deep. Very deep. In the spirit of breaking through these challenges, we've grouped together and constructed the second part of this little project: a concoction of sound, delivered by a selection of five like-minded individuals, separated by circumstance. What we have here is, in essence, a DJ mix—a few clicks over an hour in length. Five DJs, three tracks a pop—one kicks off; the next joins... then the next... and the next. Burners, killers, fillers, fresh cuts and perhaps forgotten Gems from the Attic—all delivered in one cohesive package. It's us—Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari—and we have, once again, placed ourselves in esteemed, incredibly talented company with this effort: Gary Ward, Mark Cameron and Sim Maree are all highly-accomplished technicians and loyal supporters of our brand, who have graced our DJ booths with their presence at various times since Attic's inception in 2017. We'd love very much to enjoy those opportunities again soon! (For now, we have this.) @andrewfazzolari @gary-ward @sim_maree Make no mistake... this is a very Attic effort. If you're still reading, it's probably time to press play. We hope you enjoy! Gems From The Attic 002: A Collaboration (September 2021)

So, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—not even close, it would seem. Despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! With no real end in sight, we decided to blow the dust off this format and serve up the fifth entry. Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes. During this current—now prolonged!—period, said opportunities haven't afforded themselves and we've been forced to get a little creative with regard to a platform for sharing and consuming music together, flexing our creative muscles in the process.

We made a big return to Harpoon Harry last Thursday night, waving our Attic flag once more for its 'Altar Danceteria' series—a part of the Sydney Solstice winter celebration. It's probably without saying, but the ol' Harpoon holds a very special place in our hearts as we've created some pretty special memories over the years—during which we've welcomed the likes of Cody Currie, Bellaire and Ethyène to our fine shores!—as is evident by an abundance of offerings populating my Soundcloud account. School night or not, we packed the bags and boxes for an evening of tunes, and this particular mix is the opening hour(ish) of the night played by yours truly. I kicked things off low and deep—just as we like to!—steering clear of the typical 4x4 selections often heard a little later! This is very much a "warm-up", and I hope it does the job for you, too. The slo-mo flavours included are illustrative of a style I've really tried to evolve and develop over the last year or so, and something that has become a personal passion. The tracks are often very short, lack a "DJ friendly" comfort taken for granted with a lot of house music, but do offer some "interesting" opportunities for on-the-fly transitions and mixing—it's quite raw and it's honest. Nevertheless, it definitely keeps things interesting... and me on my toes! Within, you'll hear originals and remixes from the likes of Saine @saine, Queen (yep!), Retromigration @retromigration, Inkswell, Boryn @boryn, E-Live @elivebeats and DJ Steef, to name just a handful. Thanks very much to Sim Maree for joining us for the evening, too—she played the house down with a super-fresh disco set and is someone you're likely to see popping up all over Sydney soon! Hope you like! x

It's been a long minute since we've published a mix—that isn't to say that we have spent the last year in hibernation, however. Indeed, we spent most of 2020 plying our trade at a toasty, over-the-bridge establishment called 'The Foxtrot', playing warming selections for a thirsty, seated crowd. When playing gigs at the ol' Fox, and of a similar dynamic in recent time, we've been promoting more slow-mo, lo-fi and hip-hop-oriented sounds—often steering clear of a repetitive 4x4 kick drum—regularly flipping over to a cool, relatively unknown B-side and exercising the depths of our collections in the process. This is one example that we really quite enjoyed, recorded live, opening the night at The Foxtrot, and we thought it best to share here. Within, you'll hear originals, remixes and releases from the likes of Eend (Sondrio), E. Live, Sable Blanc, Outkast, Waxtefacts, Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee, Drake, Editorial Records and Evren Furtuna to name a few! We hope you enjoy, all the same! x

Here it is: the final chapter... probably. With a few months delay between the second and third effort; we challenged ourselves to finish the final edition before the end of the year, which meant completing two in a month—and hey, we made it! So, for (perhaps) the final time; here is the write-up and context of this little project, completed during a particularly challenging year for most: Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes.

Watch the entire four-hour effort here: https://vimeo.com/459221923 --- There are few phone calls we enjoy receiving more than those from Cris at @sashsundays. A large, red, circled calendar date typically follows the conversation, accompanied with resulting excitement in preparation for our next S.A.S.H date. Whether demanding a sweaty, pumping late-night/early-morning shift in The Den, the lower, slower, disco vibes in The Maze, or a sun-soaked warm-up effort at S.A.S.H By Day; bookings at S.A.S.H quickly become personal highlights and are always, always subject for excitement. Well, we received this very call a couple of months back which came with a comforting indication: "once we're back; you're back." With the ever-evolving situation that we call 2020; we have little doubt that the call came with an expectation that we'd be "back" in the saddle by now. While that's not (yet) to be; we were offered a unique opportunity in the interim: Back in September, we were—quite literally—handed the keys to the kingdom by Marley for the purpose of throwing down another edition of S.A.S.H's Sunday stanza for its Lockdown Radio series. (And what a sweet space to spend an afternoon, it must be stated!) We approached this as an opportunity to build our own theoretical S.A.S.H By Day composition—albeit, a condensed rendition of four hours—beginning with melodic, deeper vibes as a "warm-up", and running through deeper house, dashes of disco, with some top-drawer signature S.A.S.H-esque chuggers towards its conclusion. Two parts Attic, two parts S.A.S.H, and plenty in-between. This particular hour is the very first—more of a warm-up effort containing a selection of more off-the-grid, Attic-flavoured tunes from a line-up of "usual suspects". While you're no doubt spoilt for choice with DJ mix content online nowadays; we hope that this offering will quench your thirst for all things S.A.S.H in your lounge room or office, in preparation for a time we're all back together on the (real) dance floor before too long. And how sweet that will be. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Jesse Bru - 'Day Tripper' (Original Mix) [Kreattones Records] 02 : Meowsn - 'Y' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 03 : Carlo - 'Paco Buyo' (Original Mix) [Una Vida De Barrio] 04 : Sune - 'Fikapaus' (Original Mix) [Let's Play House] 05 : Peer Du - 'For Those' (Original Mix) [Haws] 06 : Loz Goddard - 'Peaches' (Original Mix) [Outplay] 07 : Folamour - 'Tribute To My Barber' (Laurence Guy Remix) [Kyoku Records] 08 : Roger Gerressen - 'Capturing Diversity' (Original Mix) [Yoyaku] 09 : Jad & The - 'Pollock Street Blues' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 10 : thatmanmonkz - 'Got 2 Get 2' (Chris Duckenfield Ducktape Dub Edit) [Shadeleaf Music] 11 : DJ Counselling - 'Keep On Playing' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 12 : Sam Ruffillo - 'Surf Wave' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 13 : Fidde - 'I Wonder If You Know (Dreams)' (Original Mix) [CDR] 14 : Jehan - 'Marabou' (Original Mix) [Sundries Digital]

During a recent effort to audit and clean-out some contents of my iMac storage; I stumbled upon an especially non-specific, innocuously titled mix, 'Friday Night Mix (10th May, 2013)'. I'd speculate that this mix was unlikely the subject of any sort of meticulous planning, nor prepared with any sort of intention of public distribution wider than my living room. Whatever the case, I have absolutely zero recollection of it, and it was probably nothing more adventurous nor significant than me deciding to throw on a few tunes at the end of a working week over a couple of quiet beers, and deciding to press record in doing so. So, more than seven years later, I throw it on... what the hell? As self-indulgent as it may seem; in listening to this mix for the (second) first time; I'm transported back to simpler times of yesteryear and reminded of some wonderful music circulating during that period—some of which hasn't received much of a look from me in some time. The result? It's a melodic almost-hour-long selection of tunes likely an object of my affection at the time. It's (admittedly) a bit rough, but it's honest. I enjoyed it. Hope you might, too. Hope you're otherwise well and keeping your heads above water during this wild time of our loves we call 2020. Much love! x

If the last few months spent in and out of isolation have offered anything at all; it has been an opportunity to reconnect with older, largely forgotten favourites of years bygone. In that spirit, I jumped on the Facebook Live airwaves with a swag full of trance favourites a treasured era of around ~1999–2007 and—not unexpectedly—was quickly booted due to the ol' copyright detection algorithm. (Cheers, Zuck!) In any case, I managed to record the entire three hours, and here it is. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've dipped my toe into anything on the tip of "trance", however; the few hour-long session offered an opportunity to indulge selfishly in personal favourites, reflective of much simpler times. I've decided to blow off some dust and throw this one into my 'Reminiscence Mix'—following an earlier progressive house effort in 2010—as the shoe fits. I suspect I'll enjoy this one a few more times yet, and hope you do, too. Hope you're staying healthy and well, regardless. x P.S. This photo seemed a reasonable choice—taken during a set at a dear friend's 18th birthday party in 2003.

This mix is ripped from the old, dusty archives. Indeed, it will blow out 15 candles later this year. I stumbled upon it when trawling through some older storage space and flicked it on because, well, why not? It's very much of the nu-skool breaks variety and gets quite tough and pretty filthy towards its conclusion. This was Claymation—a duo I formed with long-time collaborator and great mate, Gav "Bassboy" Smith. I remember heading down to the studio—rather, the basement laundry—on a late spring evening in 2005, setting up our four-deck/two-mixer concoction and just letting it rip. (Wish we'd taken a photo of the carnage.) As was the case with such an arrangement; we did our best to get tunes cued up, ready, and in the mix as early as possible. The mixing is raw, ballsy, honest, risky at times, and doesn't take itself too seriously—as was fairly typical of breaks DJ sets of the time. Indeed, as refreshing as it is to hear; it begs the internal question of whether I play it too "safe" nowadays. Food for thought, perhaps. Unless I'm mistaken, this is likely 100% vinyl, or close to—another characteristic fairly common to the time. The usual suspects of the time are heavily featured—at least those that were regularly pulled from our boxes. If you fancy a trip down memory lane; go forth and (hopefully) enjoy. Failing that, perhaps I'll just continue to reminisce self-indulgently. :)

A lot can change in a month... While I recorded and delivered this particular set at Café del Mar in Sydney almost exactly a month ago; it feels considerably longer than that. Since this short space of time, there is a collective feeling—to me a least—that we've lost a lot our innocence... on both, a local and global level. At the time, I can recall considering the current COVID-19/coronavirus situation as nothing more than an afterthought, a conversational filler, a punchline. There were no suggestions of any lockdown, no cancelled events, no indefinite business closures. There was a palpable buzz in the air and people were out on the town enjoying a balmy, late-Summer evening. A lot can change in a month... While I, and many of my esteemed colleagues, have taken to the Facebook Live airwaves to deliver a positive message of music during the last week or so; I also hope that this particular offering may serve a similar purpose: an accompanying side-dish to your respective isolated, remote working or otherwise uncertain endeavours, perhaps. This isn't a typical set that you might hear me play in a club nor even as part of our Attic project. For that reason, I originally intended to keep this as a private offering only. All things considered, it feels right to share it out. It's an uplifting, disco-centric offering—full of big vocals and positive melodies. I had an enjoyable time throwing it together, and I hope it translates as such. I hope you enjoy it during these uncertain times and hope you're otherwise staying positive and healthy. Much love!

The Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I were kindly asked to open proceedings at S*A*S*H By Day on Sunday afternoon just passed. Despite it appearing to be a smoky—and later, a rainy—affair in its early stages; the show must go on... and it certainly did. We kicked off on the lower, slower, deeper tip, throwing on a selection of sub-110 BPM burners, setting the stage—and warming the floor—for Sondrio, Mo'funk and later... Black Loops! Within this couple-of-hour-long offering, you'll hear a range of selections from the likes of Tilman, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Frits Wentink, Harold Heath, Jehan and Admin, to name just a few. Many thanks, as always to Cris, Kerry and the S*A*S*H collective for keeping us in mind—as always, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We hope it warms your day/evening as it did on Sunday. Hope you enjoy as much! x --- : Tracklisting: On request—or when we hit a certain number of plays. Let's aim for, say, 500? ;)

The dust has settled on the last few busy weeks, and I'm finally making my recent solo S*A*S*H mix available—a deeper, warm-up effort in The Den, right before The Fazz and I took things big for the last couple of hours. (You can grab that one here: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/andrew-fazzolari-brendan-clay-live-at-sash-10th-november-2019) In delivering this one; I tried to focus on building and maintaining a groove; keeping the room "warm" during the earlier hours, readying it for what was to come. Within, you'll hear originals from the likes of Frits Wentink, Ari Bald, Luvless, Mangabey, on a selection of labels currently tickling my ears, SlothBoogie, Pulse Msc and Kyoku Records, to name a few. If this gets considerable love—shall we say, 500 plays?—or a palpable demand of requests; I'll throw up the tracklisting. 'till then, though, sit back and enjoy warming up!

Where do seven years go?! Seriously. I blew the dust off this particular mix recently... and was very happy that I did! In short, it's a promo mix that I knocked up for our radio show, 'The M Shift' as part of one of our SPOiLT DNB takeover shows. Admittedly, I've not followed drum 'n' bass a whole lot since this era, however; a lot of these liquid cuts still sound very fresh—to these ears at least!

It's not every day you have the opportunity to warm-up for your favourite artist... I was that lucky a few weeks back. We were fortunate to welcome Ethyène to our Attic fold as part of his very first Australian tour. Ethyène's sample-driven house and disco original tracks, remixes and edits have formed a significant part of our collections—and, indeed, our Attic sets!—over the last couple of years. As far as I'm concerned; it really doesn't get much better... Accordingly, this was a set that consumed a lot of thought, emotion, plenty of nerves and significant effort—it's one I hold dear. With the man himself listening intently just a few metres away and a dance-floor building; the stage was set at Harpoon Harry—and here is the result... She's a lower, slower, affair, with plenty of vinyl included. Hope you like it as much! ;) --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Volta - 'Goodnight Moon' (Original Mix) [Boogie Belgique] 02 : Guts - 'Freedom' (Original Mix) [Heavenly Sweetness] 03 : Matt Hughes - 'Looper Love' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 04 : Buzz Compass - 'Don't Never' (Original Mix) [Inhale Exhale Records] 05 : Patchworks - 'Batracien' (Original Mix) [Kolour Limited] 06 : I Gemin - 'It's About Trust' (Original Mix) [Pressed For Time] 07 : Secret Squirrel - '003B' (Original Mix) [Secret Squirrel] 08 : Gutinstinct - 'The Girl You Love' (Original Mix) [PNP] 09 : Harry Wolfman ft.

We've been pretty busy over the last couple of months—more bookings, more dates and subsequently, more recorded mixes! This is one that I really enjoyed putting together and executing. For context, Andrew and I had spent the afternoon cruising Sydney Harbour—literally!—supporting Bellaire at the debut Anchor Events event. That mix is actually available here: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/live_at_anchor_2019 After jumping off the cruise—again, in the literal sense—we set things up at Harpoon Harry for our Attic @atticsydney evening shindig, eagerly awaiting Bellaire's arrival... This was my warm-up effort—lower, slower, but maintaining some "funk" and the disco edge, and I hope you like it! A bunch of the usual suspects are included: Folamour, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Dirtytwo, etc. on some of our favourite labels, Moonrise Hill Material, Razor-N-Tape, Editorial Records, SlothBoogie, etc. Stay locked for more Attic action real soon, too! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Folamour - 'Whateva Sis' (Original Mix) [Make Believe Disco] 02 : Folamour - 'Night Of Desirable Objects' (Original Mix) [Moonrise Hill Material] 03 : Chaka Khan - 'What Cha' Gonna Do For Me' (Late Nite Tuff Guy Rework) [CDR] 04 : Dirtytwo - 'Ain't The Way' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 05 : Alicia Myers - 'I Want To Thank You' (DJ "S" Remix) [CDR] 06 : Matt Hughes - 'Shufflin'' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 07 : Dirtytwo - 'Found Love' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 08 : Unknown Artist - 'SIML' (Schenkelspreizer Edit) [Schenkelspreizer] 09 : Jehan - 'Jambalaya Avenue' (Original Mix) [Honey Butter Records] 10 : Joe Cleen - 'City Nights' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 11 : Unknown Artist - 'LC' (Schenkelspreizer Edit) [Schenkelspreizer] 12 : Soundstream - 'Makin' Love' (Original Mix) [Soundstream] 13 : Late Nite Tuff Guy - 'Get It Right' (Original Mix) [Tuff Cut] 14 : Pontchartrain - 'Nice 'N Slow' (Original Mix) [Whiskey Disco]

Here is our recent set, recorded live at our Attic event at The Flinders a few weeks back, on warm-up duties for Nachtbraker. Our intention was to get the bodies moving and booties shaking with more rolling, percussive selections from our collective boxes—these actually worked a treat, setting the scene nicely for the expected Nachtbraker destruction! ;) Hope you enjoy this one! @atticsydney @andrewfazzolari @nachtbraker @quartetseries --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Jesse Bru - 'Stay For A While' (Original Mix) [Pulse Msc] 02 : Lorca - 'No Chains On Me' (Original Mix) [Live Ones] 03 : Max Graef - 'No. 5' (Original Mix) [The Gym] 04 : Scissorwork - 'Kissing' (Original Mix) [Beats Of No Nation] 05 : Frits Wentink - 'Geese' (Original Mix) [Wolf Music Recordings] 06 : SlothBoogie - 'Acid Fantasy' (Original Mix) [SlothBoogie] 07 : Bas Roos - 'Midnight People' (Original Mix) [Exploited] 08 : Playin' 4 The City - 'Minor Track' (Original Mix) [Plastik People] 09 : Franck Roger - 'Ruffcut' (Original Mix) [Rutilance Recordings] 10 : James Pepper - 'Lover' (Black Loops Remix) [Neovinyl Recordings] 11 : Sebb Junior - 'Moving' (Original Mix) [La Vie d'Artiste Music] 12 : Loods - 'Around' (Original Mix) [Steel City Dance Discs] 13 : Hector Couto - 'Changes' (Original Mix) [Brise Records] 14 : Crookers ft.

Massive thanks to everyone who came down, packed out and partied with us at our Attic presents Cody Currie event. We enjoyed excellent, positive vibes right throughout the evening—from the deeper, disco warm-ups early on, all the way to the pumping dance floor burners during the early hours from Norm De Plume and Cody, himself! Special thanks also to Carly, Picnic Touring & Events and the team at Harpoon Harry for providing us with our playground for the evening! Here is my solo warm-up hour, filled with lower, slower selections that happen to be tickling me in all the right places—I hope they do the same for you, too! ;) Stay locked for more Attic action real soon!

We've been itching to get this one up and available since that glorious Sydney Saturday afternoon at Ivy Pool Club a couple of weeks back—and here it is! For context, we were asked to open up proceedings at the first 'Toast' event of the season and, despite the grim weather forecast; Mother Nature turned it on for all... so, we responded accordingly. "The Fazz" and I—unofficially waving the Attic flag—took the opportunity to play some of our lower, slower, funky burners and had an immensely enjoyable time in the process! Huge thanks to the Toast crew, and Christian Grande for the recommendation! Hope you dig this one! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Warren G. ft.

Well, here is a new mix from me: something compiled, executed and delivered, just because... Since we kicked off our Attic project last year; the vast majority of my DJ'ing has been centred around a housier, disco-centric sound—for which Attic is known—for both, our own events and other ad hoc DJ bookings in around town. Of course, we love our Attic sound, however; during this last little while—somewhat regrettably—I've not had much of an opportunity to sit back and relish in some other musical guilty pleasures. This particular line-up of deeper, melodic selections has allowed me to do just that. This is a very much an indulgent mix—let's make no mistake about that. Within, you'll hear some newer pieces; you'll hear some that I had stashed away for such an opportunity. Each track has moved me or has made me feel something. It's melodic, it's moody and if I've done my job correctly; you'll be taken on a journey for next 80 minutes or so. I really hope you dig this one. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Intro 02 : Bochum Welt - 'Azure' (Original Mix) [K7 Records] 03 : Flabaire - 'Sweet Spot' (Original Mix) [D.KO Records] 04 : Seb Wildblood - 'Nothing' (Original Mix) [Church] 05 : Nicholas & Nikki-O - 'Ancient Future' (Original Mix) [Shall Not Fade] 06 : Classixx - 'A Fax From The Beach' (Original Mix) [Innovative Leisure Records] 07 : P.C. - 'Spirit Feel' (Original Mix) [Church] 08 : Leon Revol - 'Far With A Van' (Original Mix) [Secret Reels] 09 : L.K. - 'Light Drama' (Original Mix) [Shall Not Fade] 10 : Genius Of Time - 'Kepler 186F' (Original Mix) [Aniara Recordings] 11 : David & Hjalti - 'Moods' (Original Mix) [Lagaffe Tales] 12 : Owain K. - 'New Horizon' (Original Mix) [Arthouse] 13 : Shur-I-Kan - 'Kermit's Lodge' (Original Mix) [Lazy Days Music] 14 : Terry Lee Brown Junior ft.

Here is a fresh new mix from us—and one that definitely gives us the warm and fuzzies! So, our 'Attic' brand as a whole, the music we push—and, indeed, Andrew and I as individual DJs—is often centred around music on the lower, slower, deeper, warm-up tip. That is a label we've always worn with pride. Well, in this instance, our good friend, Flynn—of 'Move 4 Mood' fame—was kind enough to book us for a "peak time" set at The Flinders, and, with that, an opportunity to exercise our tougher, uptempo selections; as such, we did just that! We were fortunate to enjoy a heaving, packed dance floor from start to finish, and we delivered a strong selection of suitable cuts—all while staying fairly true to our Attic sound. The crowd response was phenomenal and we had a wonderful time making it all happen—hence the "warm and fuzzies" mentioned above! ;) Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Coeo - 'Back In The Days' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 02 : Ari Bald - 'Moonshiner' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 03 : Johannes Albert - 'Beach Reach' (Original Mix) [Fine] 04 : Duccio LP - 'I Can Stay Without You' (Original Mix) [Blaq Numbers] 05 : Slamb - 'Getting Back (To Myself)' (Original Mix) [Infinite Pleasure] 06 : Joe Corti - 'Mr. Kuti' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 07 : Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax - 'Leave Me Alone' (Original Mix) [Robsoul Recordings] 08 : Adryiano - 'Nite Talk' (Original Mix) [Shall Not Fade] 09 : Bobby Analog - 'Dr. In The House' (Original Mix) [Body Fusion] 10 : Tell - 'Y'all Feel That Honey' (Paradise Mix) [Quartet Series] 11 : Black Loops - 'Higher' (Original Mix) [Neovinyl Recordings] 12 : Folamour - 'La Pierre Et Le Sabre' (Original Mix) [Tronic Session Records] 13 : The Timewriter - 'Pasodoble' (Kruse & Nuernberg Remix) [Streetlight] 14 : Bas Roos - 'Searchin'' (Original Mix) [Exploited] 15 : Sidney Charles - 'Jack On The Rocks' (Sante's 90s House Jam Remix) [Off Recordings] 16 : Souldynamic - 'Equatoriale' (Original Mix) [Tribe Records] 17 : Adryiano - 'Me And You And Her' (Original Mix) [Heist Recordings] 18 : Soul Reductions - 'Got 2 Be Loved' (Original Mix) [Take Away] 19 : Pierre Moritz - 'Eunuque Millionnaire' (Original Mix) [Shall Not Fade] 20 : Slamb - 'I Want Your' (Original Mix) [Blaq Numbers] 21 : Unknown - 'Track 3' [House Of Disco] 22 : Loose Change - 'Straight From The Heart' (Joey Negro Straight To The Groove Mix) [Z Records] 23 : Detroit Swindle - 'Just Not Norma' (Original Mix) [Heist Recordings] 24 : Knuckle G. - 'You Got Me' (Original Mix) [De La Groove] 25 : Folamour - 'Hearts Melting Into An Ocean' (Original Mix) [Kyoku Records] 26 : Speed Boat - 'Speed Tool 001' (Original Mix) [Nail Shop] 27 : Li'll Bo Tweak - 'Musics Hypnotising' (GhettoStep Mix) [Loungin' Recordings] 28 : Vaggio - 'Don't You Want Some More' (Original Mix) [Ovum Recordings] 29 : Midland - 'Double Feature' (Original Mix) [ReGraded] 30 : Brame & Hamo - 'Roy Keane' (Original Mix) [Brame & Hamo]

So, as the dust has settled on our recent Attic event headlined by Laurence Guy—our fourth instalment—I am making available my recorded set from the evening. I opened up shop for the first hour on this occasion, so, accordingly; this is very much a lower, slower effort—105 BPM upwards—though, in doing so, I did my best to retain a lot of the melodic elements that make up our "Attic sound". I really enjoyed putting this one together and kicking off the night in a method that I saw fit—and what an evening it turned out to be! I hope you enjoy this one, all the same. Comments and feedback—and if you really enjoy it, bookings—are always welcome! ;) 'till next time! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Voodoo Whiskey - 'Poolside' (Original Mix) [Midnight Riot] 02 : Atjazz - 'Open A Window' (Original Mix) [Atjazz Record Company] 03 : Shur-I-Kan - 'Remember' (Original Mix) [Dark Energy Recordings] 04 : Ben La Desh & Plan d'Aqua - 'Crackstate' (Original Mix) [Ism Recordings] 05 : Ethyène - 'Rains Over Occident' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 06 : Saine - 'You Can Count On Me' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 07 : Deephope - 'Transition' (Original Mix) [Deep Site Digital] 08 : Luvless - 'Down With You Baby' (Original Mix) [Tsuba] 09 : Kolja Gerstenberg - 'Mmmh Jaaazz' (Original Mix) [Smile For A While] 10 : Ethyène ft.

Here's a new mix courtesy of the Attic stable from Mr. Fazzolari @andrewfazzolari and myself—a warm-up effort on this occasion, recorded live from our recent takeover for 'Nights Like This!' at Goodbar in Sydney. We were handed the reigns of the upstairs bar for the entire evening, and we invited our new Melbournian friends, Milos and Jimmy from Kyoku Records @kyokurecords to join us! We all played in tandem for most of the night—and, not surprisingly, much fun was had!—and here is the first hour of the evening: very much on the deeper, low, slow tip; ideal for getting the night underway... the right way. Many thanks to Kiran, Scott and the Nights Like This! crew for the booking, and giving us the chance to do our thing! Plenty more to come from the night. Stay tuned! ;) --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Henry Wu - 'Yellow Brick' (Original Mix) [Rhythm Section International] 02 : Luvless - 'Away From Here' (Original Mix) [Rose Records] 03 : Ethyène - 'Playin' With Fire' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 04 : Fatnotronic & In Flagranti - 'Botoque' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 05 : Andy Hart - 'Keep On' (Original Mix) [Dikso Records] 06 : Ethyène - 'Shine On' (Original Mix) [Moonrise Hill Material] 07 : Ethyène ft.

We headed over to Manly last Friday evening to spread the Attic deeper disco vibes at Havana Beach Club for the 'Original Vibe' brand @originalvibemusic. We arrived, loaded with plenty of new weapons we were itching to play: new cuts from Folamour's @folamour new album—no surprises there obviously!—as well as Ari Bald @aribald, Cody Currie @1codycurrie, Ethyène @ethyene and Black Loops @blackloops. Despite the unseasonal rainy weather, there was a healthy turnout, who warmly danced the night away and rocked out to our tunes. Of course, we were also joined by an excellent all-star cast from Sydney's house and disco DJ community, too, with Mr. Ben Korbel @ben-korbel on headline duties, the Original Vibe Man himself, Jordan Waller @jordanmwaller and the highly-accomplished DJ/producer trio, Dulcet @dulcetsyd! Many thanks to Jordan and the Original Vibe Team. We had a highly enjoyable evening!

Here is my recorded set from last Sunday evening, closing up S*A*S*H By Day: the daytime stanza of the amazingly strong and ever-consistent weekly event. I played right after the day's headliner, Scottish house guru, Jasper James. The crowd—as is always the case with S*A*S*H—were extremely welcoming and certainly up-for-it, and lapped up the unseasonal warmer Sydney vibes with an abundance of smiles! This set contains some driving, melodic disco house vibes, some deeper house selections—some of which I've not enjoyed for a little while—and concludes on a faster, more pumping tip; a staple for the weekly event, really. Many thanks and much love to the S*A*S*H crew for the booking, the hospitality, and the warm and fuzzies—particularly Cris, for his full encouragement and belief that, hey, I can play a closing set! Much love to the regular S*A*S*H party people, too, who somehow make this Sunday shindig one of the strongest, most consistent events our fair city has ever seen! I had a whole lot of fun delivering this one, and hope that is also translated via the stream/download.

Here is the recording from my set last weekend at the Queen's Birthday long weekend edition of Foxlife, playing alongside Slyfox resident, Rabbit Taxi @rabbittaxi, Pip Dalton @pipsda and Öncüm Yılmaz @oncumyilmaz. I was handed the closing duties on this occasion—a fresh change and a little different from the warm-up set times to which I'm generally used to!—and played right through 'till morning, finishing at around six o'clock. This particular set features a combination of my preferred melodic, Attic-style disco-driven deep house, as well as some tougher, techier numbers and concludes on a floaty, uplifting note; just the way to bring in the morning for the weary heads on the dance floor! Really hope you dig this one!

Well, after a sizeable weekend, we can finally make available our recorded set from S*A*S*H By Day at Greenwood Hotel: Andrew Fazzolari—the other half of Attic—and I, opening the afternoon's proceedings. Of course, just two days before, we'd hosted our second Attic event—with Nachtbraker joining us as our very special guest—so it was fitting and incredibly enjoyable to share the bill with Maurits once again, in the wonderful sunny surroundings of North Sydney on a Sunday afternoon. This particular mix is a deeper, slower affair: 110–114 BPM melodic goodness; and a fairly decent insight into our musical ethos, and the sound we're pushing for our Attic brand—minus the disco flavours, of course. Massive thanks to the S*A*S*H crew for the opportunity, and the hospitality over the course of the afternoon. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and your brand is an absolute credit to our Sydney scene. So, with that, we hope you enjoy this one, wherever you find yourself on this Friday.

Here is my recorded set from my recent Peoples Club debut, playing upstairs in the bar from ten 'till midnight, last Friday night. The crowd — and, indeed, the bar staff — were incredibly receptive and seemed to be enjoying the musical offerings; as was I. I played a bunch of my current favourites, and snuck in a couple from a selection of Peoples Club @pplsclub favourites, too — Andy Hart, Axel Boman, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Lay-Far and Damiano von Erckert, to name just a few. Special thanks to the birthday boy, Davi @davidbangma and Nergal @u-khan for the booking consideration, too. I had a blast playing for you guys, and your 'People', and I really hope that translates through this mix, too. So, with that, I hope you enjoy this one! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Mike Steva ft.

Here is my set from Apollo Arcade at Secret Garden Bar in Enmore, from a few weeks back. This was an incredibly enjoyable set, and a wonderful opportunity to play a complete, two-hour, vinyl only set! I've just managed to compile the tracklisting for this one — which you'll appreciate takes a little longer for such a set! — and, for what it's worth, I generally try and buy vinyl-only releases, too, so there might be some gems in here that might not otherwise be available. Big love and many thanks to Matty Connor for the booking, the beers and the chats! Hope you enjoy this one! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Baba Stiltz - 'Keep It Lit' (Original Mix) [The Trilogy Tapes] 02 : Fouk - 'Coconuts' (Original Mix) [Room With A View] 03 : Loz Goddard - 'It Will Come To Me' (Fouk Remix) [Outplay] 04 : Dorsi Plantar - 'Jass' (Original Mix) [Kyouku Records] 05 : Fouk - 'Gruff' (Original Mix) [House Of Disco Records] 06 : Pontchartrain - 'Every Man' (Original Mix) [Kolour Limited] 07 : Junktion - 'Sunny Side Up' (Original Mix) [Outplay] 08 : Soultronic & Kiu D. – ‘My Man’ (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 09 : Ponty Mython - 'House For Sale' (Original Mix) [Better Listen Records] 10 : Snacks - 'Matinee' (Original Mix) [House Of Disco Records] 11 : Coeo - 'Long Night Ahead' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Reserve] 12 : Labor Of Love - 'Feel The Flame' (Original Mix) [Labor Of Love Edits] 13 : Silk 86 - 'Vince Charming' (Original Mix) [Emotive] 14 : Body Music - 'Just One' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Reserve] 15 : Jack J. - 'Something (On My Mind)' (Original Mix) [Mood Hut] 16 : Kai Alce ft.

A massive thank you to the S.A.S.H crew for placing their trust in our Attic brand and inviting us to host The Maze at their incredible — and amazingly consistent — event. We had an absolute blast! Cris, Kerry, Matt, Jack and the crew: you really know how to make your artists and DJs feel valued and welcome. It's an absolute credit to you all. And with that, a big shout to all of those who listened and danced to our deeper disco flavours. I'm sure we'll be seeing you around the traps again soon! Here is the first part of the recording from our four-hour stint; the second is now available at: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/attic-hosts-the-maze-at-sash-12th-february-2017-part-two We played tunes and remixes from the likes of Finnebassen, Soul Minority, Fouk, Frits Wentink, Luvless, Late Nite Tuff Guy, Junktion, Daniel Leseman, Andy Hart, Black Loops, Earl Jeffers, Dr. Packer and DJ Koze, to name just a few. We hope you enjoy the mix! Until next time...

Well, what a truly magical night that was! We're truly pleased to have brought you our first — of hopefully, many — Attic events and will reflect on this one with big smiles for a long, long time! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us — there were positive vibes right throughout the place from start-to-finish, and everyone in attendance was incredibly complimentary. To see a project we've envisioned and carefully-crafted over some time — whilst throwing our blood and sweat into it in the process! — turn into something so wonderful leaves us with an enormous sense of satisfaction. Fittingly, everyone brought their 'A' game musically: To the Rabbit @rabbittaxi: mate, we couldn't have asked for anything more. You're a true gentleman of the scene. The opening set of any given night can present a tricky scenario and is absolutely critical, but you nailed it — even from the first sample, "No, I'm just some kind of sick idiot who's seen too many young men die..." Just superb! To Hans and Daniel @justsayfouk: Well, what can we say?! Everyone who witnessed the almost three-hour journey can attest that they were present for something very, very special, indeed. As well as being talented producers, it's refreshing to know that you're seasoned and highly-accomplished technicians behind the 1's and 2's. You took our guests on a melodic journey and they remained with you for the long haul and danced the night away. A special thanks also to Doris​, Maria​ and Mike for your contributions and assistance throughout the night. This is very much a family affair, and we couldn't have done it without you. A special mention to Andreas​, too! We'll also have some photos, video and music from the night coming very shortly, too, so keep your eyes peeled for that! So, with that, here is my recorded set from the evening. I played after Rabbit Taxi and right before Fouk. The crowd response was exceptional, and seeing it all build up in anticipation four our headline act was highly satisfying! We'll be back at it again very soon, so stay tuned for further announcements and dates! ;) Thanks again, everyone. It's been our absolute pleasure. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : U-Dee - Bald Spot Jam (Original Mix) [Delusions Of Grandeur] 02 : CTEPEO '57 - 'Kackwursthouse' (Original Mix) [Voyage Recordings] 03 : Rhode & Brown - 'Snabsnus' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 04 : Coeo - 'Pajama Stomp' (Original Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Records] 05 : Dan Kye - 'Change' (Original Mix) [Rhythm Section International] 06 : Matt Hughes - 'Biodigital Jazz' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 07 : Cassio Kohl - 'Hear Me' (Original Mix) [Futureboogie Recordings] 08 : Soultronic & Kiu D. - 'My Man' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 09 : Cody Currie - 'Apollo 11' (Original Mix) [Pusic Records] 10 : Pontchartrain - 'Get Over You' (Original Mix) [Whiskey Disco] 11 : Voodoo Whiskey - 'Blueberry Muffins' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 12 : Arturo Garces - 'Move You' (Original Mix) [Robsoul Recordings] 13 : Lux Experience - 'Your Luv' (Original Mix) [Masterworks Music] 14 : Brame & Hamo - 'Clockwerk' (Original Mix) [Splendor & Squalour] 15 : Bas Roos - 'Exotism' (Original Mix) [PIV Records] 16 : Black Loops - 'Sex' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 17 : Phil Weeks - 'She Can't Love You' (Instrumental) [Robsoul Recordings] 18 : Coeo - 'Back In The Days' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 19 : Urulu - 'Train To Nagoya' (Original Mix) [South Street]

Here is the recording from my recent set at S*A*S*H, closing The Den in the early hours of Monday morning! Massive shouts to the super-receptive crowd who danced right throughout — many of whom very likely kicking on from the 'Tell No Tales' festival from earlier in the day! I was able to play a wide range of tunes that are currently floating my boat: from my current 'Attic'-style cuts, some disco-infused house, concluding on more of a drum-driven tip. With that, special thanks must be paid to the S*A*S*H crew — particular Cris — for the booking consideration (and indeed, trust), once again. And certainly not to forget George (Mesan) who played an outstanding, warm set to open up the room and attract a "proper Den crowd". Really hope you like this one!

I'm still smiling ear-to-ear following my set at S*A*S*H, this morning. I've played some really enjoyable gigs over the last couple of years, but this one, in particular, was incredibly special and will be held dear and remembered very fondly for some time indeed! A special thank you to Cris, Matt and Kerry for the booking: for having faith in me, to hand me a prime slot; and to the many happy faces who danced, grooved and partied into the early hours in The Den with me! Fortunately, I happened to record the set — which comes complete with audio from the crowd — and it's now available to listen to and download. Really hope you enjoy this one — again, or for the first time — as much as I did! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Zhut & Kapote - 'So Damn Hot' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 02 : Laurence Guy - 'Wish I Knew' (Original Mix) [Church] 03 : Sunner Soul - 'Heavens Rhodes' (Original Mix) [Editorial Records] 04 : M.ono & Luvless - 'Luanda' (Original Mix) [O'RS] 05 : Coeo - 'Native Riddim' (Original Mix) [Toy Tonics] 06 : Session Victim - 'Never Forget' (Original Mix) [Delusions Of Grandeur] 07 : Kraak & Smaak ft.
