You are invited to even more awesome stuff!

It's actually a bit too much; I've been busy since Monday crafting a huge post about everything that happened over last week. The second half of the Dune Rats tour was just great and I had the DJ set of my life at Sowing the Seeds and all this other awesome stuff happened in between all that. I'm working on a post that does it all justice but damn! It's just too much! Especially with trying to juggle actual work as well - it's taking ages! So I'm quickly jumping ahead, letting you know about what new adventures you can join me on over the next three days!

Tonight, Ri and I are trying something new with our regular Thursday night party, Hi5! This Thursday will mark the first Hi5 Lounge! The idea is, the last Hi5 of each month will be a free hang-out where Ri and I play whatever we want and get our friends in to come DJ with us. If you'd like to be one of those friends, grab some CDs, swing by Kitcheners tonight come kick out the jams with us!

Then on Friday, Eyes Like Mirrors are making our return to our favourite venue in the city, the awesome Bioscope Independent Cinema! This the the most perfect place for us to do our cinema-rock thing and what more we're return to the Bioscope as part of a fantastic lineup of bands. Expect all kinds of audio-visual magic from A Skyline on Fire and The Watermark High who we're supporting! Really can't wait for this one!

Then on Saturday, it's time for Untamed Youth! It's really no secret just how much love I have for these cross-city disco freakouts. That said, I am especially excited for this next episode because I'll be going head to head with Data Takashi, the CDJ-wizard that was my full time partner back when I started DJing in 2005! Beyond the Sassquatch vs Data Takashi reunion, the lineup for this episode of Untamed Youth is solid gold from start to finish. You'd be pretty foolish to miss this!

Well, that's what I'm looking forward to - hoping to let you know about last weeks awesomeness before all this hits. Fingers crossed that i can pull that off!

You are invited to Love is the Drug



This is so exciting, I'm not even sure where to start.

The sheer awesome-fest that is Disco de Moda is back and they are kicking off the year with a serious bang! For DDM's first show of the year, they're flying South Africa princes of synth-pop up country. That's right, Gateway Drugs are coming to Gauteng!!!

Since this will be the first time the band make their way up to Joburg, you'd be forgiven for not knowing Gateway Drugs. If this is the case I can not urge you strongly enough to head here and download the band's fantastic debut mini album. Also, if you missed it last year, here's their first music video:


Disco De Moda head-honcho Data Takashi has picked out a great lineup of supporting DJs, including the man himself as well as your humble narrator and friendly neighborhood Sassquatch! All in all, it's gonna make for an incredibly awesome night of disco dancing and synth-pop. For your own well-being, I can't stress enough how important it is that you make sure you're part of the fun!
