Flick the Switch...Now it's On!

Hi,

My name is Cameron aka Nathan Scott Phillips.
Here are some words, pictures and songs.

When Ben told me about his plan to start throwing parties again I knew I had to get involved. I'm not sure how I decided to start DJ-ing, but the two collided in a happy coincidence and I found myself playing at Now it's On! at Tings in Pretoria on the 2 May. I opened the party with a 2 hour set which was well received by a energetic crowd powered by a small core of dancing robots. I have subsequently done a mix of the songs that I played which you can download below (choose 160 for low bandwidth and 192 for high bandwidth).

Kidofdoom emerged from backstage painted silver and rocked the crowd into a digital frenzy. Sassquatch kept the electrons going before we had loads of fun playing head to head before ending off with Grandaddy's - Now it's On!


Now it's On!

A couple months later and I was playing at Flick the Switch at Back2Basix in Joburg. The party started off early, with Kodiac, Data Takashi and myself in the sun outside

and ended with No skippy No School, Haezer & Data Takashi under neon lights



surrounded by some hardcore robots

some were very hardcore


others not so hardcore


Some confused red bull fans tried to steal the girls away from the robots,


but the robots won the girls favour in the end.

even though some had to be captured and converted

Below are links to two more mixes that you can download. Namely Honey for Honnies & Bipolar Blues.
