In case you don’t know already, Scattermusic will be presenting the one and only Douster this Saturday (here) and well, we’re super exited. If I had a coin for every time someone sung praises for Douster on this blog then I’d be a rich MF so I’ll resist going there for now, just know that this party will be off the hook! While we all gear up for this one i’ll be doing a live tropical themed mix on Kiss Fm from 1-2pm tomorrow (Australian eastern standard time). Expect a hefty chunk from Douster’s back cataloge as well as a handful of random, soon to be released tracks from our own Scattermusic label. follow the link below to the station website where you can listen online.
Well we just produced our own festival last week with the full help and support of the Espy. Now its time to rock someone elses. So chuffed about this one. Scatterblog Soundsytem has just been asked to headline the dj’s on the sat night at pretty much our favourite music festival in the country. For those of you not familiar Golden Planes is the little bro to Meredith Music Fest. Both share the same venue and orginisational team, and both are always at the forefront of music culture. I did the same set in ‘07 for MMF and had pretty much the time of my life cant wait to share the stage this time with my boys. Im not sure what the deal is with tix for this one but it sells out every year to the point where u need to get on a ballot the year before. Check this years line-up here.
We will be rocking a crazy show with all 5 of the Scatterblog acts (Slap & Dash, Scattermish, Mu-Gen, Mat Cant & Lewis Cancut) playing together for 3 hrs. We have many a surprise up our sleeves including props, dancers, sets and all sorts of bat shit crazy stuff………….. Can u say EPIC!!!!!
I was going through some pics on my computer today and found the stage plot we sent through to the festival. Its piss funny, it looks like my 8yo niece drew it or som’n, spelling mistakes and all, but you can blame me for that one. As you can see we will be pumping some heavy duty sonic sound with all that gear on the night.
Just thought I would share the pic along with a cheeky edit of the new Hollertronix Party Squad “Pull Up” (buy here) I did a few months back. Not much done to the original except some more hype added and a few cut ups in the second drop. Plus I also attached theShaun D “Mad Drums” joint on the tail of it for shows, you know, so i can bump straight into another blend.. It was made in like an hour so no hating on the lameness aight!
The other two international guests to be featured tomorrow at Scatterfest are NASA and Mowgli – 1 has featured at an Scatterblog party earlier in the year, and the other has been a Scatterblog favourite since close to when we started out.
NASA’s debut album “The Spirit Of Apollo” got all kindsa heads turning (i think they were also most talked about act of 2009 on hypem?), featuring a whole range of big name vocalists. Their live show is filled with cut up and remashed music and visuals, some space costumes and accessories and a whole lotta hype – producing a huge individualistic and exciting show.
Mowgli on the other hand has been some1 who’s music Scatterblog has been in love with since wayback when. His style has been ever evolving and he now really leads the market with his label Deadfish and their midget house sound.
Both of their shows will be explosive for totally different reasons. TONITE YO!
So there’s a last minute double double ticket giveaway! So i’ll make em easy.
For one double pass, just answer what Mowgli’s alias is.
For another, name 6 people that featured on NASA’s Spirit Of Apollo album.
Only one double pass per person.

First in best dressed…
As for the tunes, check this super dutch remix of NASA’s Whatchadoin by Alvaro…
Shit Robot is like one of those ever elusive characters in dance music but maybe thats just due to a lack of online content, hard to tell sometimes you know. The history I remember hearing is that Marcus Lambkin (SR) originally worked in punk circles until James Murphy lent him a bunch of old drum machines and let him figure it out. While that’s probably fiction, it would explain the raw dancefloor sound sounds he’s become associated with over the years (rockers make notoriously great dj’s such as Edu-K and Dave Nada). It’d probably be more accurate for me to just say Marcus met James while running club nights in New York and well, the rest is DFA history. ‘Wrong Galaxy‘, his first record going back a few years, blew minds with it’s mix of rough drums and loud arpeggiated synths but it was this remix of Kaos‘s Panopeeps that first put him on my radar (buy). If I had a nightclub based on a disused space station drifting through distant galaxies that’d be my soundtrack. Here’s a little something else he sent through for us to anticipation up his upcoming Scatterfest appearance. It’s his burning remix of ‘No Time’ by Juan Maclean, get it while it’s hot.
We are way proud to kick off 2010 with the biggest party we have put together to date. The Espy and Scatterblog have gone all out on this one and all for $20. As you can see from the pic above we have mad internationals covering all types of genres, with NASA, Mowgli, Shit Robot and James Amato bringing the Space Rave . Then there is the locals. From the best dj in the country (Ajax), to the best “team dj’s” Melbourne and Sydney can provide (Slap n Dash and The Hump Day Project), to the hottest young talent in Australia . Everyone is booked on merit alone and not on how many mates u can put on your doorlist list, if ya know what i mean. More info, set times, special guests etc will be posted soon. You will all hear a bucket load more about this one. This party will be most boss!!!!!!
Rico Tubbs started with a boom, back in 2002 on Menu music when the debut 12″ p-funk inspired fartbass anthem “Flashlighter” was released. That opened the flood gates for steady flow of bassheavy party beats. Blending various genres of dance music and combining them under one big party banner of bass, some essential “Ricos Rave Juice” ingredients include: Fidget House, Speed Garage/Bassline, Baltimore, Indiedance/Electro, Olskool Rave & Dubstep.
With his DJing being nothing shy of awesome, Rico has received much accolade and applause at every turn. He was voted the best electronic music DJ in Finland for 2006 & 2007 and has played to massive crowds all over the globe.
OK so this is gonna be bananas!!! The new emperors of Thursday night debauchery HANGTIME, same dudes that have thrown mad parties of late presenting acts such as: La Roux, LMFAO, and Spinderella. Well, they have been way friggin nice and invited us, the infamous blog nerds and dance floor crushers SCATTERBLOG to deliver on some filth. This is going to be one mega fun co-lab, so come party-drink and dance with a fat chick this thursday at Ding Dong (addy above).
SET-TIMES
9-10: Dublin Aunts
10-11: Lewis Cancut
11-12: Mat Cant
12-1: Mu-Gen
1-close: Scattermish
I hear Dublin Aunts are gonna provide some freaky party disco shiz. We are gonna provide the ruckus via club, kuduro, funky, hip hop, grime and all things ghetto. I know Mat has made a cheeky edit of hip hop superstar Bangs he’s gonna drop, think Lewis will prob end up in hospital from some sort of tragic dagga incident, Scatters is most def gonna drink his weight in whiskey and well me,? I’m gonna spend the whole night rubbing myself as i just got a new velvet jumper.. POW!
Not gonna leave without giving up a track or two…… The Shaun-D joint is straight heat. First time I heard it I lost my shit, about a week later I was like “not sure”, then I lost my shit once more, so now I’m posting it before I think its “meh” again. It’s a bubbling-kuduro number with air horns, crazy synth and a dash of ze bula vox. Just download it! The Ghislain tune is hard arse dance hall-ragga. Wish I had more sets to play this kind of heat.
DJ Shaun D – Alien Spaceship (Teenage Wolf Baile Edit)(YSI)
Rob Threezy exploded onto the scene with his cut up, philly-club rave-anthem, “The Chase” which was featured on the Brick Bandits EP put out on Mad Decent. He’s a certified member of both Chicago’s Ghetto Division and the Infamous Brick Bandits crew, and at just 20 years of age Rob3 already has a host of forward-thinking dance music tracks on Mad Decent, Nightshifters, T&A Records, 2 Hype Records and has remixed the likes of Diplo, Blaqstarr, DJ Mujava, Jokers Of The Scene, Daniel Haaksman and AC Slater to name a few. Threezy also has upcoming material scheduled for Compost, Fools Gold and OMG Records. Into and producing so many great type of music, Rob3’s sets sound really exciting – the live show should be nothing short of gold.
The show will also mark the first official Scattermusic release of Mat Cant and Scattermish’s hyped up, horn fueled track, “Hornbo”. The release comes packed with remixes by Sticky K, Yacht Club, The Hump Day Project and Paz and has been getting dancefloor love all over.
The show will be a night to remember, with extra support coming from Slap & Dash, Lewis CanCut, Mat Cant, Scattermish and Mu-Gen. AND DAMN IT’S FREE ENTRY AGAIN!!! Goes 10pm-3am.
There will also be some dodgy physical copies of the digital only release. And hold tight for the digital release which will come out, along with our new website on Oct 20th!
We got that Boom Boom (damn, does that mean i just quoted something from BEP recent!?) But like for reals, look at these two posters. And they’re only the beginning of the mayhem, akakaka plenty of more awesome names to come… DJ Benzi has such a huge list of mixtapes, and is known for his mad DJ prowess, and Foamo is constantly being heralded as the next big thing in house music, with a huge sound and big basslines. And yeah, again we bring em to you for free!! Can’t wait, see you there
UUMMMPPPHHH. Sega is like Genos’ in Philly, dont leave town without checking it.
Sega Saturday Night does not mean a 50 sack, Doritos and Sonic Hedge Hog. It is the almighty Dj Sega of Philladelphia PA, throwing down the 130 bpm club heat at the Espy. I went with Dj Ransom and Kicks 79 to see Sega at a Brick Bandits throw down last year. The whole show was amazing and we caught Joe and Sega the next night who were in the process of recording material for Guns Garcia.
Ok so its been a long time coming but Scatters and I are finally doing our first Sydney show as Slap & Dash tomoz night at Chinese Laundry. Its hosted byJam Musicand the Hump Day Project guys who im sure your all familiar with now seeing we post their joints all the time. We have been working on a whole new sound for the upcoming Scatterblog shows and this will be the first unveiling of our new style. So depending on how drunk we get it could go crazy or balls up.
The tune connected to this post is a Hump Day edit of a booty joint I gave them last time I was up there. Been meaning to post the original for ever and a bit but have kinda been keeping it close to me. Its a banging old school Miami tune by 24-K called “Dont go there”.
Check the poster above for details if your keen on party time!
After the huge success of their first party, which featured Proxy and Thomas Von Party, our good friends Stobe are back for their second show with another huge line up… Enter Jesse Rose, Oliver $ and Zombie Disco Squad. Jesse Rose we all know about by now – he’s been around as a big name in house music for quite a few years now, and has just released his debut full length, “What Do You Do If You Don’t?” (which this is the tour for). He was a big name in the beginning of the Fidget House movement, but he definitely walks with his own stride. You’ll be able to grab a free copy of his album with every ticket, if you’re not from melbs tho, be sure to grab it at beatport. Oliver $ just seems to be getting better at an exponential rate (i love using that word). Since 2007, his name has been all over, and his recent track, “What Ya Gonna Do” was a killer. He engineers for other artists (helps Jesse Rose too), so his production is tight, and his tracks show the traits. Zombie Disco Squad have been mentioned on the blog a few times over, as we’ve been fans of their Gutter Broadcast blog for ages. Their DJ show has always been much talked about, but it is there production that has really taken off as of late. They’ve had originals released on Made To Play, Dirtybird and Sound Pellengrino, along with a bunch of remixes on other labels. Look out for some tasty Baile Funk and Hip House influences.
ZDS have been good enuf to give us a couple of sick tek-sclusive-bootlegs to post up. Be sure to keep an eye out for these guys…
On top of all that, Stobe have given us 1 double pass to the show on the 22nd @ Billboard to give away!!All you have to do is be the first to comment telling us the name of Jesse Rose’s debut album that he’s here to tour. First one to reply gets the pass.
I just had to put up the flyers for these. we’re helping the espy put on two MASSIVE shows. DJ Sega (May 30th) is such a forward thinking force in club music, we’re all so into his stuff, it’s really exciting to have him play with us! All Scatterblog crew will be there and he’ll have some of his new cd with him too i hear!
The other bit of total hugeness is the Nasa and Dave Nada show (June 5th)!!! Nasa don’t really need much of an introduction as you’ve probably been seeing their tracks featuring everyone from Santigold to Tom Waits to The Wu-Tang Clan. This one is going to be full venue, with lots of crazy acts and everything. Nada has already made his name a staple diet in Oz from previous shows, and going by some of the live videos i’ve seen of Nasa it’s gonna be a wild show (yes they’ll have dancers with them). Again all Scatterblog crew in support!
On top of all that hype, i’ve been speaking to Zegon (1/2 of Nasa) and they’re into what we’re doing with our music and what not and have given us bits to remix their tracks!! So expect some shit hot Scatterblog remixes of Nasa before the drop!!!
We just realeased some giveaways via our Facebook promotion for the Detboi and Scatterblog event. Now we have free entry and USB promo package available to two lucky scatterblog participants who drop “Detboi bring us some Funky” into the comments column beneath this post.
