As you might know, I’ve been writing for Scene Magazine’s Tech Files section for about 6 months know. If you haven’t heard of Scene Magazine then you probably don’t live in Brisbane, Australia! Scene Mag is the local street press of my hometown Brisbane. They’ve got a gig guide, music and cd reviews, interviews with artists that are in town and other general happenings around Brisvagas. The Tech Files section is all about reviewing new DJ gear but I also do some articles with general DJing and production tips and tricks and occasionally interview producers and DJs about their favorite gear and what not.
I thought I would start posting up links to the online copies of the mag as they come out so you guys have a chance to read! In a few weeks time we are doing a big special on the Pioneer CDJ2000 with DJ J-Red (Australian DMC Champion) so stay tuned!
In the meantime, check out Issue 764 where Scene Mag interviews me on Page 21 back in October 09.
Yes its looking pretty schmick-o now if I might say so myself! I’ve popped in the new Soundcloud player to replace my old dodgy flash one I had going. Also I added some nice icon links to my other pages like Twitter and Facebook so you can easily navigate it and I added an Upcoming Events section. Here you can checkout all the dates I’m playing at, what time and where all with google calendar. Neat huh?
Yes I know I’ve been on Soundcloud for ages but I really haven’t been using it until now. So in case you’re not already following me on Soundcloud, definitely get on it guys! Check the link.

Reviews
After the amazing success of Feature Funk Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 we are glad to introduce two new artists on Manmade. D*Funk a well known breakbeat producer from the South of England and an upcoming breaks producer Javier Morillas hailing from Granada, Spain. Again on this Record, Manmade the guys behind this project and Slynk the best producer coming out of Brisbane.
CMC & Silenta provide another marvelous addition for the dance floor. “Just A Little More” contains an old and fairly unknown sample from the 50’s, using the catchy vox, adding a phat bass-line and a mischievous bit of a ragga creating the feeling you expect from the mash up kings. Javier Morillas did an amazing old school anthem with everything you need to think “Don’t Stop The Groove”. Driving old school beats, incredible bass-line and perfectly arranged guitar, vocal and horn samples. This one will please any party crowd with no exception!
We’re proud to present Slynk’s disco-breaks tune “Miss Funky Fox” alongside D*Funk’s disco-hiphop-break-beat track. “Miss Funky Fox” lives up to its promise, ladies will be shaking their hips and getting downright funky. Once again Slynk comes up with a funky-disco tune without compromise. D*Funk accomplished a track that contains at least 4 different styles and fits it perfectly together, we had to listen twice to realize what he gave us! Big drum set and funky bass-line let “Feeling Funky” be a peak time favorite.
“Another great release! Javier Morillas is my pick of the bunch.” - Featurecast
“Miss Funky Fox is near perfect in its disco funk delivery.” - Funk Weapons
“I truly think that your track ‘Just A Little More’ and Javier Morillas’ one are bombs!!!” - DJ Prosper (East Records)
“Lovin’ all tracks on this release. Big ups guys, Manmade is becoming one of the best labels in the party funk world.” - Maelstrom (Labrock/Katorza/FR)
