2012-01-24T17:20:00.003+11:00

After 4 years of keeping it in tights at the Workshop every second Thursday, the TIGHT crew will be playing for the last time at the Workshop and what better night to do our last party than on Australia Day.

So for the closing party all the residents will be on board and ready to funk you up sideways. Dj's include Matt Radovich, Nam, Booshank and Mr George. The Tight residents will be playing everything from Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, Boogie, Electronica, Dub, Soul, Jazz and everything in-between. Of course entry will be FREE. Find us at The Workshop, level 1/ 413 Elizabeth st, Melbourne.

Rest assured that we are on the look out for a new venue to host TIGHT, so although there may be a brief hiatus, we will be back in our business socks shortly.

What's Happening?

2012-01-20T09:19:00.004+11:00

Once upon a time (late 90s) my life revolved around two simple things: techno, and beating my best mate at Mario Kart 64. During this period I amassed quite the collection of dark, European techno, and unfortunately these records very rarely see the light of day. This Saturday however I've been invited to DJ alongside afore mentioned Mario Kart rival and a whole truckload of Austrlia's 'heck no' jocks at 'Melbourne Techno Collective's Big Free Techno BBQ'. The party starts at 2pm at Miss Libertine. The first kransky will hit the grill at about 3pm.
Also happening on Saturday night is The Late Show at Revolver Upstairs, featuring the return of Spankie Hazard to the back-room. A true master of disaster, Spankie is sure to satisfy your late night fire-side discoco cravings. Grab these edits from his Soundcloud, and say thanks on Saturday night!

A DJ's DJ, he's had fingers in a host of club music pies over the last decade: producer, record seller, prolific mixtaper, co-founder of Hollertronix with Diplo and of the reknowned DJ messageboards now known as hollerboard.com and even a stint as MIA's tour DJ.

Backroom rolls from 8pm sampling disco, boogie, cutups, afro, house and the rest. Front room gets going from 1am with upfront club and bass sounds. Residents Ransom, Nick Thayer and Paz, guests Booshank, Danielsan, Junji Masayama & Disco Harry plus Boogs from 6.30am.

More fruits of my procrastination:
Paul Graham - She Likes Sharks by Paul Graham

Speaking of wasting time; I reached new levels this week. I've got a youtube rash that flares up during assignemnts and exam periods. This week while I was supposed to be writing an overdue essay but instead watching the pooptube I thought "I know, I'll block a handfull of URLs on my laptop, give someone else the password to unlock them, and tell them not to give me the password until I can prove I'd submitted my essay." I then spent the next 2 hours trying to sort that out. That's next-level task-avoidance.

Much what I'm doing right now: procrastinating by telling you how good I've become at procrastinating. God help me.

I previously thought it only possible to be simultaneously entertained and educated whilst watching porn; turns out I was wrong:

The riots last month in the UK prompted me to do some reasearch into the 1981 Brixton riots, and I found this great mixtape by Ian Grant aka I.G. Culture of Holy Roller Productions for the monthly Holy Roller Radio podcast. The mixtape works as an audio documentary/mixtape hybrid, the likes of which I've never heard before. Don't worry, you wont feel like you're learning anything. There's a new edition of podcast each month, so be sure to hit the subscribe button.

Go there now and get it for yourself. While you're there grab the excellent Manz At Work mixtapes. I did and I haven't looked back.

This week WMO DJs barge out of their caves 'elbows out' and make a mess of things all over place:

Thursday night you can catch Booshank alongside Mr George for Tight @ Workshop in the CBD for all your blue-eyed funk and dazzy jisco cravings.

Friday night Booshank is warming things up for Mr George from 8-10 at Horse Bazaar in the CBD.

Saturday night Booshank returns to Workshop for the monthly Werk party alongside Alexandra. The duo will be playing grubby drum machine records, featuring REAL electro. From there Booshank heads to Revolver for The Late Show, where he and the inseparable Junji Masayama & Disco Harry (pictured) take over the back room from 10pm 'til Boogs shows up (probably around 7). Meanwhile Jake Judd & Nikki Sarafian will be holding court across the road at 161 for their weekly '4am until Nikki passes out on the mixer' throwdown. Once again, if you haven't seen these two play recently don't miss your next opportunity.

As always Lucky Coq hosts the mighty South Side Hustle (now in it's 4th year!) on Sunday night with Paz, Booshank, and guests Junji & Harry from 7pm.

So now you know.

Midnight Marauders

2011-08-03T16:13:00.008+10:00

Jake Judd and Nikki Sarafian joined WHEEL ME OUT as contributors over two years ago, and what a mess it's been since. Every time I see a new post from Nikki I make myself a coffee, put on my reading glassess, and spend an hour editing and formatting his art-school inspired 'gonzo' approach to blogging. We're talking no capitalisation or punctuation, glaring grammatical errors, and border-line pornographic image choices. Strangely I don't mind mothering him through this stage.

Jake on the other hand is my golden child. Last year he posted a mix titled 'The Adventures of Lord and Lady Gaga' in reference to the recent revelation that said pop-star is a hermaphrodite. Beautiful. This caused a major spike in blog traffic, so then he then dropped a deuce of 'Celebrity Edits' and included a handful of music and porno celebrities in the post. Sure enough, traffic = heavy flow. Things of course went back to normal after that, but it's the potential and initiative he displayed that I love him for.

Anyway, Jake And Nikki have worked their butts off for the last year making a name for themselves around Melbourne and the international webosphere. These efforts have come into fruition this winter: they're holding down residencies at 161 and The Windsor Castle, and are fielding requests to DJ at The Carlton Club, Revolver Upstairs, The Toff In Town, New Guernica, The Lounge, etc. Keep an eye on the gig guide on the right hand side of the page (which I update for them, like a doting parent) and make an effort to catch them play soon.

This Friday they play a special head lining guest spot at the weekly Midnight Midnight jam at New Guernica. I asked Nikki what the dance floor should expect and he replied 'mysterious oddballs and obvious oddities'. Obviously. No doubt they've whipped up some edits especially for the night too.

Cue incredibly intimidating bio...

P-A-Z

Paz is the master of fiesta to siesta, and the big daddy bear of the Tardis. As a Dj / producer for over 15 years, he always knows where it’s at. Paz has recently added Guarachero to the tons of tropical and tribal sounds in his bag and it is his current endeavor to drop tropical heat that has labeled him the “El Nino” of Australian clubs.

In Melbourne clubs and bars, Paz is known best in the cage of Revolver Upstairs and its famous Saturday night party ‘The Late Show’ keeping club music fun, original, cynical, healthy, retro and upfront. As a producer he can be heard bouncing club heat and remixes for T-Rek, Harmon, Inverto, Scattermish, Psyde Projects. Under the non-de-plumes like Pelako or Pharoah Zap you can hear disco edits, boom bap hip hop and even some Balearic downbeat.

Paz’s Business Music articles in SPA streetpress magazine are a streetwise music aficionado institution. They define new genres, dance moves and downloading you should be doing right now.

With many festivals and events under his belt, including Big Day Out, Vibes on a Summers Day, Halcyon Knights, 33 1/3 and Meredith Music Festival.

Paz has supported numerous international artists including Dj Krush (JPN), Scottie B (US), South Rakkas Crew (US), EDU K (SA), Fake Blood (UK), Sinden (UK), Metro Area (US), Tittsworth (US), Dj Craze (US), Freestylers (UK) as well as local talent like Architecure In Helsinki, Dexter, T-Rek, Phil Ransom, and Boogs.

Jake Judd - Sunshine Day by Jake Judd

Always & Forever

2011-06-27T19:25:00.007+10:00

I've been using Serato* alongside vinyl and CDs for a few years. To be honest I still feel conflicted about this move towards digital technology, and still cringe when labelled a 'laptop DJ'. However last weekend that left me wondering about the role of digital technology in today's DJ booths.

I arrived early to the gig to make sure I could set up with enough space, and that no nasty surprises would catch me out. Familiar mixer and plenty of room: set up will be a breeze. The DJ before me warned that he had technical issues through his set that he couldn't fix: one of the turntables was feeding-back and none of the usual remedies were effective. I started playing CDs and vinyl (avoiding the suspect turntable) while I set up Serato.

Anyone experienced with 'digital DJ systems' such as Serato or Traktor can probably relate a horror story about good times going bad: shitty CD players/turntables giving bad signal, damaged time-code media, and computer crashes all make laptop DJing a potential nightmare.

Once I'd set up Serato (no dramas there) I started to relax/drink and get the job done. I wasn't having the same feed-back problem as the previous DJ so I assumed it was down to something he was doing. My placement of the Serato hardware at this point wasn't ideal, so I tried moving it. As soon as I picked it up the suspect turntable started feeding-back. Put it down; feedback stops. It seems the Serato hardware was absorbing a vibration going through the table from the PA. The mere presence of a digital technolgy rectified a classic analog problem. Much laughter followed.

(Yes I realize a brick would have done the same job in this case, but who carries a brick?)

* For those at the back Serato is a hardware/software product that allows a DJ to stream audio from a computer, while controlling that computer with time-codes recorded onto vinyl/CD.

Friday 24th June at The Windsor castle

2011-06-22T17:35:00.006+10:00

This week we have SALVADOR playing the early set and then Jake and myself playing till close.

"Salvador began DJing and collecting records in Los Angeles, California. In 2008 he moved to Melbourne in search of a new outlook on life. What he found was cheap drinks, nice people, and nothing but good times. Since his move to Melbourne he has played at Revolver, Toff in Town, St. Jerome’s, La Di Da, Sorry Grandma, and holds residencies at Match Bar, John, and TroughX. "

...and here's a remix I just finished that i will debut on friday:

Known for his festival sets (Rainbow Serpent, Pyramid Rock, Fusion Festival in Germany), Saturday night residency at New Guernica, DJing at pretty much every warehouse party north of the river and having supported acts such as Todd Terje, Aeroplane and Idjut Boys, we are real excited to hear what he will come up with this Friday.

Here's a recent mix of his:

Friday nights at The Windsor Castle

2011-06-02T19:34:00.012+10:00

Jake Judd and myself are playing freaky garage, psych-funk, controversial jazz-pop and 80's N.Y.C. tropical disco sounds at the Windsor Castle (89 Albert St, Windsor) every Friday night with some of our cool and talented friends from 8 - 1.

Each week I'll be posting info on who the guest of the week is as well as a special edit that worked wonders the week before.

To start things off...

CD Giveaway

2011-05-27T09:38:00.008+10:00

The Music From The Late Show CD launch jam at Revolver Upstairs a couple of weekends ago was just that: a fully fledged jam. Every artist I caught was in fine form, and I've never felt higher levels of bromance in the back-room DJ booth. Project curators Paz and Ransom played the perfect hosts for the night, making sure all involved in the compilation were watered and feeling appreciated. And by 6am I was certainly feeling both.

We gave away a bunch of CDs on the night, and up until now that was the only place un-affiliated regular jack-offs (like yourself) could get a copy. I stashed a few away however, and am offering one each to the next three people to subscribe to Wheel Me Out. Click on the 'Subscribe to posts' buttton the right, then email you postal address to paulbooshankgmailcom and I'll take care of the rest.

World Record Store Day - Sat 16th April

2011-04-14T17:42:00.005+10:00

On Saturday celebrate one of the great things about this stinky city called Melbourne - decent reord stores selling decent music. If you think these guys do it purely for the love, think again.

There's loads happening about the place; here's my picks of the bunch:

Wax Museum Records - Live music and DJs 11am - 5pm
Northside Records - The Firemen (aka The Bamboos) @ 2pm, Randa Khamis @ 4pm + Taco Truck
Polyester Records - Shitloads of special releases, live music & kids sporting iPhones
Missing Link - All manner of overdriven malarkey no doubt
Basement Discs - Crazy amounts of live music, and a Dave-Graney-&-friends-hosted quiz

If for whatever reason you read this and you don't live in Melbourne, get out and support your local vinyl-vendor. And no Bleep doesn't count as a record store, nor does Juno or any other digital flop-house.

Paradise loft are a record collecting/punting outfit currently situated in Adelaide, represented on the 1s and 2s by Music & Lights. I met these friendly chaps at a record fair over winter, and I made them promise me a mix to post on the blog. I could bang about how nice these guys are, and how they're down for above all else good music, but the write up they sent my says it better than I ever could, which I've posted in the comments.

Oliver (one half of Music & Lights) did all he could to include some vocal stylings on the mix, but unfortunately his mic was busted on the day. Next time tiger.

Look out for more from Paradise Loft and Music & Lights on WMO in the future.

It seems like every one of my DJ colleagues has made some sort of trip to the states in the last 12 months, and come back with stories of crates full of dollar records that would go for more than a tenner here in Melbourne. So what's a guy supposed to do? Do I not spend any money on records (or anything else) to get the airfare etc together, keep paying expensive Discogs freight, or keep getting scalped in stores? Answer: none of the above. It turns out that some amongst us have over the years amassed enormous hauls of wax, then gotten married and have decided to cash in on loved but unplayed vinyl. Buying from a collector has several benefits: they typically care for their records, will specialize in particular genres, and know their product enough to recommend bits you may have missed.

There's a couple of markets in Melbourne that are great for finding vinyl, but you'll probably end up seeing the same Barbra Streisand record 20 times before you find something interesting. There's always new stall holders at the weekly Sunday Camberwell market, so it's worth the early morning to have a look-see. Without a doubt though the best way to find good records in Melbourne is via Australian Record Fair. This site covers the various travelling record fairs currently opperating in Australia, so it makes for an indespensible vinyl-collection resource. The stalls at these larger fairs and markets seem to be run by more serious collectors, so you're almost garaunteed to find something intersting. These are guys who drive thousands of records halfway accross the country to set up shop for one day. That's love.

The next one of these vinyl orgies is happening at the end of October here in Melbourne, info here. See you there!
