The Sharkslayer Australia Tour 2010 aka Heaps Of Fun -tour is over and we’re back home. Jetlag is a bitch but who cares, I slept 24h yesterday, which is about the same amount I slept in total during this tour. Thanks everybody, it was a pleasure, you know who you are! Be in touch homies… More pics and video after the hop.
That get love by us frequently. We just finished an on-the-road remix for Kill The Noise and will begin to work on one remix for Malente’s up-and-coming new label. The tour continues, today we’re off to Adelaide, the back to Sydney for a show at Candy’s apartment and so on… And hey Graeme, the Count & Sinden album is like a Jaxx album, I know where you coming from!
A day off from the Sharkslayer tour, finally some rest and food and a bath. The sleep deprivation was getting to me. Took a walk to to pier to catch some starfish (slimey) and get a coffee with the seagulls, bought a book. Pretty rainy and wintery down here I tell you. Anyway…
Here’s some 7 minutes of techno from way back when because on days like this you just feel like hearing deep techno on repeat. Jackin and thumpin, vocal chops, tight open hat, funky bass… You need to be of certain age to enjoy this.
Greetings from Melbourne, the Sharkslayer Australia takeover continues. We’ve had some crazy weird (and awesome) action here, from horse races to club fun. The Monastery at Brisbane was dope, so was the Academy at Canberra, and the Espy of course in Melbourne. Everybody’s been mad friendly and people really love music. We’re also happy that Neoteric came and we met him in Melbourne, also met the great guys of Scattermusic and Lucid. Here’s some pics, from vast wilderness to metropolitan flavours (no tourist pix included). Hope you all had fun at FLOW, I’ll go buy a hat because it’s cold!
Try this is your UK Funky sets to make em a bit more interesting:
Heaps. That’s what Australian say when they mean a lot. Been hearing that over and over which is kool. The Sharkslayer tour continues, today we’re in Canberra, Australia’s capital (would not believe it), in the smoothest hotel we’ve seen so far, 5 stars is how we do it. Last night we had a blast at The Monastery in Brisbane, somebody stole the other Serato control disc plus a catridge so we had to do the whole se on 1 turntable. It can be done it seems because things went down really well (like said, it’s not the audience’s fault if there technical ‘issues’). Let’s see the Academy in Canberra is, been hearing good things. No Kangaroo meat and no hugging koalas yet tho. HEAPS OF FUN!
Hello from the Sharkslayer Australian tour aka the land of no internet tour (I’m writing this at a local Mickey D’s at 7am and watching all the creatures of the night who have crawled out for breakfast… meth is one dangerous drug so kids remember to say no). It’s pretty cold down here (winter you know) but parties have been hot. We’ve had few gigs together with Mightyfools (they’re huge here) and Douster (with whom we share a common liking of The Dream, dope). Since arriving here here we’ve travelled from Perth to Sydney and now to Brisbane. In Perth we had a fun party at the Villa and Sydney was just awesome as we played Chinese Laundry, such a dope place and an amazing crowd. Tonight we’re supposed to slam it down and Brisbane’s best club, The Monastery so looking forward to that, but before the gig we got a horse race to attend to… Don’t know what’s up but let’s find out. Respect to all the dope people we’ve met so far, the take over continues as DJ Neoteric and Beataucue are about to join us on this tour now.
Hey, what’s up? We left with DJ Pushups to the Sharkslayer Australian / New Zealand tour on Tuesday, made a 25 hours travelling but finally arrived to Perth 02:00 at night. Looks like a pretty decent place, we’ll update some nice footage and tour stories as we get everything in order here. Nights: +6 degrees. Days: +20 degress.
Hey friend, we’re leaving for the Sharkslayer Australian tour today. Touring with us there will be such great guys as Neoteric, Mightyfools, Beataucue plus some others.

Just back from Oslo at the airport with Tane Lee, waiting to catch Tensnake and Catchdubs as they arrive…. Yesterday in Oslo at the Oslo Live festival was messy fun, big up Patski Love & Chris Stallion of the Juicy crew. Festival line-up was also nice, everyone from Drop The Lime, DJ Harvey, Bun B, A-Trak, Pantha Du Prince, U-Tern, Crystal Castles etc we’re there so pretty much action. Now Tane is off to Turku Modern festival while I’ll take Catchdini to Club YK for some Helsinki heat. See you there.
Here’s one of the high moments of last night, oddly enough.
Had to say that last night at Club Colors in Gothenburg was one of the funnest gigs in a long time. Colors is dope, boogie, disco, rap & good club music rules the night (we did drop some dubstep hits in the last half an hour tho). Mayer Hawthorne also delivered a solid live performance on the night and is a lovable guy just like his music. Looking forward to the next gig there with our man DJ Dainja (shouts also to Gothenburg homies Supreme & Embee of Looptroop Rockers fame). Posting here a golden tune from yesterday, I’m wondering why I haven’t shared this earlier.
Top Billin dj team + many other Finns are off to China now for a ‘dance music explosion’ in the east. Should be interesting, although some Shanghai clubs have got that different but quite right vibe… Last time in China we got kicked out of the club btw.
We’re just on our way back home with J-Laini from the Top Billin west coast tour, got stuck on London due to some ash clouds (again), so it’s becoming an extended week. Airport hotel ain’t that nice either but who cares right now.. Beginning of the week was about raves, but the end of the week turned out to be a more disco/club music oriented thing, thanks to our homie Thee Mike B (pictured with Shmoozie) who’s an excellent host and such a great guy (watch his Camo Ufos remixes out on Sinden’s Grizzly & Top Billin soon). Had good quality burgers at In-N-Out, Fatburger, big sushi lunches, cans of Tecate, pool partied at Beverly Hills and all that good you can do while out in west coast. Only actors we saw we’re the guys from Sons Of Anarchy tho… It was also dope to meet and hang out with Jason Them Jeans (tallest dj we’ve ever seen), Dan Oh, Nate Day (of Camo Ufo’s), Paul Devro, Ninjasonik, Franki Chan, Acidgirls, Glenjamm, so many great and talented guys. See you soon, we miss you already.
More LA action… Flight was a long one, need to make this worthwhile and playing with 2 of the most dopest guys, Mike B and Paul Devro definitely makes it that.
