Bonerjams 3000
The good thing about my job is that I get to listen to more tracks and mixtapes than I can poke a stick at. Some are good, some are average and some are just plain shit. I was sent a mixtape from a guy from Norlunga named Benjamin Parton and it falls under none of the above categories, it's great! The tracklist makes me weak at the knees and it has clever use of samples throughout the mix.

OHMY! there's a new kid on the block!
I know what you are thinking . . . Here comes ANOTHER aspiring DJ/producer! I won’t deny that there is no shortage of Adelaidians competing for residency within the nightclub scene, but few of them come with the raw talent that Jase ‘OhMy’ Gulliver possesses.
When asked to best describe this 19 year olds style, one would use the words ‘heavy electro infused with hints of other genres such as garage, and Dutch inspired leads’. Jase idolises Kissy Sell Out and finds inspiration in artists such as Foamo, Herve, Mighty Fools, Dave Spoon and Mowgli.
While he hasn’t got a residency anywhere just yet, be prepared to hear big things from OhMy. He’s already performed at established clubs such as Mojo West and Marble Bar and possibilities of regular appearances at other renowned Adelaide nightclubs are on the cards.
In the meantime, Jase has been focusing on the production side of things. His first production, ‘All The Girls’, was completed in just a day and is a good indicator of just how successful this guy is going to be.
In conclusion, I say ‘watch this space’ when it comes to Jase ‘OhMy’ Gulliver, and remember that you read about him first on Pixel Chicken!
Check out ‘All The Girls’ and his May 2010 Mixtape on his SoundCloud site:

Sinead on Kingdom
For those of us who enjoy a blend of heavy bass-lines, R&B and garage-style tunes; Kingdom certainly hits the spot. After recently experiencing one of this Brooklyn bred producer’s sets at Lost and Found at Electric Circus last Friday night, I have become a massive fan.
Despite the small crowd and the change of usual venue from downstairs at Electric Circus to the more intimate setting of Limbo, there was no lack of energy or atmosphere. Lost and Found resident DJ, James ‘Brainss’ Marshall, pulled out all the stops in his set due largely to the fact that Kingdom is one of his favourite producers. Being a lover of all things dubstep, I was particularly impressed when Brainss finished his set with some funky dub and Kingdom kept the vibe going when it came his time to jump on the decks.
In smooth transition Kingdom progressed from the filthier to the groovier. His set was infused with the perfect blend of hip hop and garage to create a set with depth that made you want to crypt walk and get as low to the ground as possible. Highlights of the set included Kingdom’s own productions, Mind Reader and You Don’t Know Michelle.
I eagerly await Kingdom’s next performance in Adelaide and can only hope South Australian’s catch on to how truly brilliant this guy is.

Tiga Is Going Live
One of We Love Sounds biggest acts is going live. Tiga told In The Mix last week that he will be bringing a live element to his sets at this years We Love Sounds festivals using his Australian fans as lab rats for his new experimental ambitions. He says the reason behind his 'Turbo Planet Live Show' is because he feels he need to lift his game and keep up with producers who are no longer focusing on making records but touring. Tiga goes on to tell In The Mix, “Nobody is really confident about making money on records anymore, that part of the industry is either dead or dying. So that leaves people with a lot more urgency to tour, and that means there is more people touring and it’s a more competitive market place, so everyone has to offer a little bit more. That and there’s always a natural desire to try something new, especially if you’ve been doing this for as long as I have.”
So does this answer the question, where does the dance music industry go from here? The Bloody Beetroots are doing it with their 'Death Crew 77', 2ManyDjs are doing it, The Proxy and Kissy Sell Out are doing it, even our local heros Def Starr are planning to go live. I guess time will only tell. All I know for sure is that this years We Love Sounds festival is going to be something special.

An Addict Full Of Nonsense
Just some tracks from my personal collection that I thought needed to be shared. The First track is by Italian born producer Daniele Papini. If there is ever a gap in a DJ set that needs to be filled by bassline filth then Daniele Papini's 'Church of Nonsense' is the track to fill it. It has a minimal techno rift and a filtered bassline which keeps twisting up as it gets more intense.
Mightyfools, A Dutch duo (Andy Samin and Jelle Keizer) who me randomly in a club have since then achieved many great things. They are known for their highly energetic DJ sets and Banging originals. 'Addict' is a great track which has a House inspired build-up with a hard Fidget style drop.
