Proper Website and some remixes coming in November..

As it says in the title i'll finally be opening my own website in November. The 22nd Nov will be the official opening ceremony, thats my birthday! My plan is to have a little remix package i can offer for exclusive digital download, available through my new website via my bandcamp page. That's the only place you'll be able to download the tracks. I just wanted to do a little something special for all the great fans who support what i do...

I'm currently working on a new album, although i have no idea what direction i'm heading just yet i'm getting there. So far i've made some dubstep, hip hop, 'wonky'(i still hate the term), and general electronic beats stuff, stay tuned for more info..

Also in good news my recent album 'Freedom of Thought' should be available in New Zealand in the coming months. I've been trying to get this album distributed out here as thats where i'm living right now. Thanks to Border's and Delicious music who've been helping..

right time to get back to the music, im just creating a little something right now! 

HOLLA 

for now i'll leave you with this, it's a link to a bangin' tune by Mike Slott on xlr8r website, the tune came out last year but is featured on the new mary ann hobbs compilation..

Music for the radio....

bono estente, 

If your reading this for the first time i'll keep this real simple. i do a radio show on RDU 98.5 fm in Christchurch, New Zealand. I play all sorts of electronic music, hip hop and it's related forms. not only do i have my own show which is the friday drive show 16.00-19.00 every friday, i help out a little putting music forward to add to the RDU playlist. 

if your're from NZ you'll know this already but for everyone else the RDU playlist is not your run of the mill commercial radio shambles, they support independant music like no other station i can think of. You won't find many major label music being played, unless it's the shizzle. 

In a nutshell if you're releasing music and have good quality mp3's at least 320bit get in contact for possible playlist feature's. If you've just got an exclusive track/remix still get in touch, if i like it i'll play it even if we don's add it to the playlist. It's worth having a press release handy to send also. just so we can add the artists details to the database, which i work on every week. 

enough said i think, i usually record portions of my show so people get the idea, recently i've had lots of interviews to host so i've not uploaded a show for a few weeks, browse the radio shows section here to check some out. 

send me a message for more info!!! 

adios

DIZZ 1 show Christchurch 30th Oct 2009...



This should be a great gig! DIZZ 1 has got beats! this will be a night of foward thinking Hip Hop, Dubstep and Future beats.. I'm paticularly excited about this cause i was wanting to get involved in a night showcasing this style of music for the last few months. Time and music just got the better of me. 

Anyway people should come out and support, this is the freshest music coming out right now and needs to be heard in Christchurch and the whole of NZ. If people represent the chances of more nights happening increases and there is some great music/artists that could potentially come over for shows.. 

i'll be down there spinning some tunes, and i've been putting aside some bangers to play that night. For more info check the facebook page below and remember to listen to my friday drive show on rdu 16.00-19.00 for lots more details..


here's some DIZZ 1...

Decknology and new Foreign Beggars Album..

Been a busy week or 2 party people, but some updates for ya..

First up let me say congrats to Marty J who won the RDU DJ competition Decknology 2009. This is the DJ competition run by the radio station i do my friday drive show. i judged a couple of heats, hosted twice, including the grand final and a great time was had by all. All the DJ's did there thing, respect to Psymon Barnet who put an outstanding set together of multi genre goodness, Kristal brought some Technoey style music, not my genre but he was dope, and Danimal did the business too. 

Last years winner DJ Insomniac defended his title again dropping a multi genre set and was unlucky not to retain the title. But that said Marty J i'd seen twice in the competition and smashed it up both times, again he dropped a great selection of DnB, looked so comfortable/excited every time he played he deserved the win. 

I dont host anything other than my radio show but maybe you'll see me out there again as i had a lot of fun! 

Big up to Foreign Beggars for sending me there new album, it's due out Oct sometime, and it's got some heat on there i can't front. i'll def be supporting through my show. Make sure you get a listen to the new material, highlights are the tracks produced by 2tall feat Kashmere and Jehst, Guilty Simpson's feature. Actually i think this is there best album to date, good work fella's. 

here's a quick peek of the track feat Kashmere/jehst produced by DJ 2tall..
