Swerve Shows

Club Bumpers returns! Part 2 of new semi regular mix series curated by me, Rubio. A further collection of Street Soul, RnB, Northern Soul, New Jack Swing, early Hip Hop and other downtempo bits of fun produced in the 80's and 90's. Good for your weekend afternoons, or cruising around the beaches in the sunshine with the top down, wind in your hair, chillin' on the stoop, you know... however you want to enjoy it ❤️‍

For the last party of 2024 we thought it fitting to see out the year with a BANG. A B3B to be remembered, @RabbitTaxi, @oncumyilmaz and Rubio at the dials from 4-midnight. Beginning the session in true Rabbit Taxi style we decided on an ode to the inimitable Smokers Lounge series, starting slow, eclectic and psychedelic.

Part 4 of 4.

Part 3 of 4, the final stretch in the courtyard. Tempos and heart rates rising, well and truly in the groove and beginning to flex

Final set from our August Foray into Naarm's rooftop bars comes from the inimitable @personar1 b2b @magal_tm ❤️ Expect the lot as these two ride the waves of genres and seasons. The sky shifting before our eyes from the DJ booth of Rooftop Bar in typical Naarm fashion. It was light and airy, and dark and moody, a storm washed through for a spell, but the beats didn't stop, they simply evolved. Huge thank you to Per Sonar and Magál for stepping up to that plate and filling the space with sound. Please enjoy

To cap off our little trip down to Naarm in August, Myself and Cricket played a little b2b extendo set up at Rooftop Bar. It was a windy, rainy evening and we let the weather control the vibes. We threw down some power ballads, some deep groovers, and some minimal head nodders, some classic disco, some slinky UKG, you get the jist. It was a great time and I hope it comes across. As always, like and comment for and ID's or just to say Whasssssuuuuuuuup! xoxo Cosmic Boogie

Last but certainly not least on the decks at the takeover of Runner Up Rooftop was @nickspurwaydj bringing another beautifully measured, eclectic yet cohesive set of dance floor heaters from across the spectrum

Next up from the series of mixes from Runner Up Rooftop down in Naarm is me

@sabel-3 and myself got down to Cafe Fredas again back in August. We had a BLAST, as you can tell by this recording. Huge thank you to Cafe Freda's for having us around again ❤️ Can't wait for next time! As always comment for track ID's or to just say G'day, Cosmic Boogie

Way back in January I had the opportunity to play an hour of tear out, Hi NRG Disco for a friends Studio 54 themed birthday party. It was right up there with my favourite sets I've played all year. Those that know me know I have a real soft spot for Big Powerful Disco numbers so it should come as no surprise that I absolutely milked the opportunity to go all in on that energy. I love this music so much, I hope you do too! As always, comment for ID's xoxo Rubio

DJ / producer / founder of agency Electronic Music Life @jameslocksmith got down with us at our WIP Music x Freedom Sessions collabo party back in July for a real treat of a set. The multi hyphenate delivered a gorgeous set on the licorice discs to a packed courtyard over the course of his one and a half hours. Ducking and weaving through sounds from across the globe, keeping everyone in the place locked into the groove and hanging on his every move. It was a joy to watch as it will no doubt be a joy to listen to! Huge thank you to James Locksmith for the vibes, and we hope you enjoy! As always, comment for ID's or just to say G'day. xoxo Cosmic Boogie

Back in July we joined forces with WIP Music & Freedom Sessions to throw a proper house event in the Gladdy Courtyard. The vibes were sky high all day into night and Cricket laid the foundation with these superb and eclectic opening selections. Jumping from Latin to Afro to Disco to Soulful house over the course of her set, you can always trust Cricket to deliver the goods. Please enjoy the first 1.5h of the party as they occurred. Huge thanks to @sabel-3 as always for her time and skills ❤️‍

This is the start of new semi regular mix series curated by me, Rubio. A collection of Street Soul, RnB, Northern Soul, New Jack Swing, early Hip Hop and other downtempo bits of fun produced in the 80's and 90's. Good for your weekend afternoons, or cruising around the beaches in the sunshine with the top down, wind in your hair, chillin' on the stoop, you know... however you want to enjoy it ❤️‍

The fourth and final recording from our may party comes courtesy of me! Rubio. House classics, UKG warblers, bassline bumpers can be found throughout. This was a very eclectic set to play for a very lovely crowd. As always jump in for track ID's or just to say g'day! Cosmic Boogie

The funky brother from another mother @edavd got down with us for a groovy little evening back in May. The night was well and truly warmed which lent space to get a little more loose with the styles rolling through this set. Expect tech house, deep house, house house, bmore, booty bass, and more across the 2 hours. This set just roamed freely as I encourage you to in your listening

The super duper lovely @chloe-morgan-webster and @tombruce2 brought their inimitably good vibes through the Lord Gladstone back in May for Cosmic Boogie. It was a dreary old day, but these two party starters really brought the mood up with an excellent mix of classics, underground vibes, Australiana and pop hits. It was an absolute joy to witness, the smiles beaming off their faces as they ripped through their selections was enough to brighten your day. Now finally, I can share it with you. Huge thanks to Cleo and Tom Bruce for their time and infectious energy. As always, comment for any ID's and give the pair a follow if you're not already

A few months ago @sabel-3 and I got down to play an all nighter at Cafe Freda's. It was a lovely time, sound, vibe, staff, food and drink were all on point. We'll be doing it again all night on the 16th of August. Come say G'day ❤️‍

The inimitable Brother Nature blessed us with his sounds to open the day on a rainy Saturday back in May. The vibes were warm and lovely as we've come to expect from the nature boy. Downtempo deep cuts were the name of the game, keeping us cosy and relaxed in the space. Big big thanks to Brother Nature for the gorgeous curation. xoxo Cosmic Boogie

Oi Oi, been a minute since the April party but I've finally gotten around to publishing this recording of the licorice pizza connoisseur @jnr-5 rinsing jungle and footwork for the closing 2 hours of that party! The vibes were outrageous! A huge thankyou to JNR for lending his skills to the evening, and an extra thank you to AT81 for the surprise b2b at the end of the set. This set was meant to be a b2b between myself and JNR but it unfortunately didn't work out that way. Fittingly, I will be playing at JNR's night at Chinese Laundry on the 3rd of August. Pots and Pans in abundance ❤

Big Ting member and all around Sydney badman 99 Nissan Patrol stopped by in April to grace us with a bunch of uptempo, vibey, breaks and bass music. This set was all time! The energy in the courtyard was infectious. Don't take my word for it, check it out here. Complete with unreleased gems ❤️ Huge thanks to @99nissanpatrol for the times! Give him a follow, pop in a like and let us know what you think of the mix

Another one from the last Boog' this time from yours truly, throwing down a set of 90s hip house into bass music. This was a very considered set laying the foundation for breaks and bass lines early in the set. I had a great time playing it, I hope you enjoy listening to it! As always, Like and comment for traxxx and keep your eyes peeled for the next few over the weekend! xoxo Cosmic Boogie

Cricket has once again rolled through the Boog' with a set of down low heaters designed to make your hips wiggle and... I think she reached the mark once again! What more can be said about this collection of tunes? Always diverse, always adventurous, always stellar! Wrap your ears around the set and let @sabel-3 know what you think ❤️ Thank you soo much Cricket for throwing it down once again! Like and follow, comment for track ID's ❤️‍

First mix off the press from the April event comes from the opening DJ Öncüm Yılmaz. Delivering on the promise of a beautifully executed all vinyl opening set, i knew the vibes were in safe hands as soon as the needle hit that first record. It was a lovely experience, blends of unexpected treasures graced the courtyard, the perfect backdrop to a sunny afternoon. A HUGE thank you to @oncumyilmaz, give the man a like and a follow, check his socials, and as always, like and comment for track ID's. Stay tuned for more recordings over the next few weeks

Rounding out the recordings of last months Cosmic Boogie party, we have Cricket! Once again sending it for the solid 2 hours to close out the night. A vast and varied foray into 'the sounds that make us dance', Cricket blends and weaves through records and genres like water running down a mountain river. Always a good time

The one and only @EarnestJ rolled through the Boog' in March to show us how it's done. Laying down a scrumptious 2 hour journey of eclectic and vibrant wax selections. Hi Energy and infectious vibrations are on full show, all delivered with impeccable execution. Strap in and enjoy the ride. Give the man a follow and don't forget to comment for track ID's

March 8th we got back to the Lord Gladstone courtyard for a lovely evening of tunes. This set was the opening set, recorded from 6-8pm, sun setting, quiet drinks, catch ups with friends, lots of smiles and cheer in the air at the end of the working week. I played this set with heavy influence from Osunlade and Ron Trent who I'd seen play the weekend before, mixed with some Australiana and spiritual messages about the state of humankind with everything going on in the world. Tune in, bliss out, comment for ID's Stay tuned for recordings from the rest of the night from Cricket and Earnest J

On March 2nd, myself and Mark Cameron Jackson had the tremendous pleasure of playing a 7h set on the rooftop of the Burdekin Hotel on Sydney's Oxford st for their Mardi Gras viewing party. It was a great time! Spirits were high, vibes and drinks were flowing, big smiles all around. What a beautiful occasion and a gorgeous time it was. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did playing it. Peep the recording, comment for ID's and greet everyone with a smile.

The final set recording from the last Cosmic Boogie party is mine! I'm so pleased to be able to share this with you all. I had soo much fun playing this on the night and the vibes really translate in the recording. Great times, with great friends to great music. What more can you ask for! Lots of love to everyone who came through to the last party, hope to see you at the next one! ❤️

Last weekend we got back down to the familiar stomping grounds of the Lord Gladstone Courtyard for the first Cosmic Boogie of the new year. Sooo good to be back! Mr Roarke kindly graced us with 2 hours of GORGEOUS soulful house and disco to get us started. Throughout the recording you can expect beautiful blends, soothing rhythms and moments of energy perfectly distributed throughout the sound journey. Much respect to Mr Roarke for providing the vibes ❤

One night, 2 belated Birthdays, a decommissioned train tunnel, incredible production and a giant disco ball honestly made for one of the best parties I've been to in a long time. You may think me bias because I was Djing most of it but ask anyone who attended and they will tell you the same thing. Everything aligned perfectly for immaculate vibes the entire night. I was fortunate enough to be invited to contribute 4 hours of music for the night with my long term, very good friend @gilsun and the outcome was magical. Truly a new core memory. Unfortunately we were only able to salvage the last 1h45m of the set recording but it captures the high of the night perfectly. A huge thank you to Sandra and Pat for putting this incredible event on, it won't be forgotten any time soon!

Rubio (me) got down on June 3rd on duties to warm up to AHJU. Big eclectic tension building vibes throughout, slowly building the energy into a crescendo. This set was a real joy to play and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it. Keep your eyes peeled for AHJU's set in the next week

Next up in the series of recordings from the Cosmic Spill party at the beginning of June is a real energy booster. @toaka22 solo reppin' for the first hour and joined by @mondo1music for the second. Starting off warm and easy and building to serious heights

Next up on the listen back from Cosmic Spill is @misterroarke! Laying down 2 hours of beautiful afternoon Deep house classics in the courtyard. The sun was shining, the vibes were high, and Roarke was letting it roll to warm the party in ❤️‍

Let me start with a HUGE thank you to everyone who made it down to our party on the weekend. This round was a collaboration with the lovely boys from Soul Spill records @soulspillrec, they played the first 5 hours of the party. This is the first hour courtesy of Mondowun. Downtempo street soul and house to warm us in. Give the lad a follow @mondo1music, check the links on the page and hit him for track ID's

6 Years ago my good friend Tom Studdy and myself did an all night b2b at the now defunkt Play Bar. It was a big big night with big big vibes. I recently came across the recording and felt it fitting to release ahead of the 7h session I'll be doing down at Redfern Surf Club on the 5th of May. https://www.facebook.com/events/613933680635381/ When you've been in the game a while, you amass a serious quantity of recordings. Watch this space for more from the archive

We're fortunate enough to have the great, the talented, the lovely, the Australian Institution that is Garage Pressure coming down to play for us on April 1st at Cosmic Boogie. To celebrate Farj has done a very special radio show for us from Eastside FM full of new and old incredible 4x4 UKG. It's a fabulous mix that includes a voiceover tracklist (for those playing along at home) and We can't wait to hear them do it live for us in the Lord Gladstone courtyard. Big up lads! Huge vibes! See you there xx

We've been away for a bit and we've missed you. Over the last few months since our soiree in January we've been asking ourselves, in which direction does this party shift. We've found an answer. Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, here is the kind of sounds you can expect to hear from start to finish at the 2023 Cosmic Boogie events

In early September we were blessed to host Sofia Gonzalez for a 2h set in the main bar of The Lord Gladstone. It was a glorious ride through all the colours in the techno spectrum. Seamlessly rolling through sounds and textures, light and dark, dense and fluffy. It was a gorgeous set and we're thrilled to be able to share it with you here. A Huge huge thankyou to Sofia for lending her skills to the party. It was one to remember. Check her SC page below; https://soundcloud.com/nuuk3 XOXO Cosmic Boogie

Lachy MacNeill doesn't get out to play very often but when he does you really hope to be there. Ex full time Falcona DJ turned Buzz speaker hire facilitator is an absolute secret weapon and we're thrilled to have had him roll through to showcase his skills. This last outing was quite a set, weaving between soo many different styles and tempos like an old hand. It was an absolute treat. Thanks Lachy for coming to share your tastes with us. The vibes were very high indeed

Ey Ey Ey, it's the first recording to come out of our September party at the gladdy! This one, the opening set from our very lovely and very talented friend Iresh aka FLY WAVES. We've had her in before, she was soo good we had to get her back in, this time for a set of Hip Hop, Rnb, Rap and all those other lovely flavours that come with it. She delivered the perfect early afternoon vibe. FLY WAVES links: https://soundcloud.com/flywavesmusic https://www.facebook.com/FLYWAVESMUSIC https://www.instagram.com/irena_flywaves/

We were truly privileged to have Bocconcini come down to play for us at our August session. She absolutely delivered the goods with 2 hours of smooth and lovely tunes shifting tempos and styles seamlessly. The experienced FBI Radio host took us ok quite a journey in the courtyard and now, you can re-live the experience. Tune in and tune out. Enjoy the vibes

Ai Ai Ai, next up on the release from August 6th, our brother from another mother, the artist formerly known as Ya Boy Marvo, Brother Nature. Brother nature opened the proceedings that day and what a gorgeous collections of music he played. I (Rubio) can honestly say I've listened to this recording each morning since the day of the event. This mix flows beautifully, soulfully, naturally if you like... giving sunny courtyard afternoon vibes in any situation. A Huge huge thank you to Brother Nature for this contribution. Don't take my word for it, tune in, bliss out. warm into the weekend
