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 the Shaun 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!

Lately I have been real busy in the studio with Scatters finishing off some new Slap & Dash production, including a remix for Edu K’s ep coming out through Scattermusic, also working on our new Slap & Dash 4 deck,  plus adding some more Mu remix love on Lewis Cancut’s ep which will surprise a whole bunch of cats. The boy is a little genius. This is the first and last time I’m going to post something up like its a blog diary, but i kinda wanna share. In my hiatus I did a whole bunch of production mixes and edits for fashion shows around the country. I get a fair bit of this work and its always fun as you get to explore the different shades of electronic music. It’s kinda shaping the way i see music now, dance music especially. I’m looking for a bit more than just a hook. I’m finding myself deep in the arrangements of music. Anyway blah fucking blah. To sum it up I’m using arrangements and samples from 60-70’s world records and adding them to modern electronica to make some pretty fun stuff. More for the listen than the play out, but I figure I would share what I have been doing to excuse my no-posting for the last couple of months. Also for the club heads is my 15min mix I did for a dj comp in Melbourne a little bit back. This is a live practice from the day before so excuse some mistakes. In the end I didn’t win. Ripped off i tellz ya.. Nah, well done to Spacey who did.

Mu-Gen Dhini RAFW ‘09 (DOWNLOAD)
No track list available for this one as its real short (like 5mins) and choc full of samples. Prob my favourite fashion mix I have made of late. The brief i worked with had key words like tribal and marching drums. The start of the show had a live marching band drummer playing along until the main drop where i sampled buraka. Was mad fun to work with  a live musician on a piece of work I’m really proud of.

Mu-Gen – Trimapee 09 (MFW) DOWNLOAD
This mix was so much fun to put together. I always do Trimapee’s show music and have a really good relationship with the guys who run it. They pretty much give a brief and let me run with what I want. This mix had a crazy brief, industrial, Arabic, historical and modern. WTF right? It took a bit of planning but i think I nailed it.

Mu-Gen – Absolute 15 djcomp (practice mix) DOWNLOAD
So I won this comp a couple of years ago and was pretty keen to do it again this year. This happened around the time of the Major Lazer album drop earlier this year so i thought with all the hype around I would do a Major Lazer inspired mix. The way I would describe this is Carnival rave party with a dash of surf rock…

Well very late announcement but we only just orginised this as a last minute gig with the cats over at Streetparty. All free and all very last minute but we have the guys from Classixx and also Neoteric tonight at eurotrash.

For those of you not in the know Classixx are a production crew from L.A. that have been released on comps like Kitsuni Maison and had their video “I’ll Get You” directed by Cobrasnake. They do the electro sound really well but will be playing a chill set I think tonight.

Neoteric is a cat from Canada who plays all kinds of party madness. I played with him last Saturday and was pretty much blown away by the dudes skills and selection. Which, I guess I should be considering he is A&R for Dubsided and also part of the Smoke & Mirrors colab with U-Tern.

Ill be paying in between the two with the streetparty dj’s holding down the rest of the club. Set times are below. What else can you do on a Tuesday for free except watch “All Saints”…. Yawn!

Thought I would give you a taste of Neoteric in the mix. This is his mad as fuck Australian and New Zealand Tour Mix CD. One word “Whoooaaaa”. Track list is in the comments.

Neoteric / 2009 Australian Tour Mix

And also another couple of little treats from Neoteric in the form of a two Smoke and Mirrors bangers. One is a remix of Tittsworths “WTF” and the other a crazy remix of Cypress Hills “Insane In the Brain”. If you aint already got them you aint partying hard enough.

Smoke & Mirrors / Insane

Tittsworth / WTF (Smoke Mirrors Remix)

Well its been roughly four and a bit years since i did my last proper dj mix. The mix was my entry for the Red Bull Academy and so much friggin work I thought I would never do another again. It took all my homies from here submitting mixes for the detboi gig promo we did a last week to finally get me off my ass and record something.

This time round I thought I would take the opposite approach and do a live “one take” kinda thing. Its not a simple mix by any means but its all me, all live. For your scratch nerds out there please take into consideration I had a broken arm at the time (excuses) but not joking.

Any way this mix is a pretty good representation of what I have been jamming in the clubs down here for the last six months or so. There’s some old mixes and some new ones, some exclusives, some oldies, but pretty much party town from start to finish.

I had a mad ass time doing it so stay tuned for some more in the future. I’m working on a “world minimal” as Scatters likes to call it, or UK Funky/Hyper-Bass mix as we speak. Should be recorded pretty soon.

With a hard “G” is titled so for those fuckers out there who keep saying my name wrong… Its “Moooo” like a cow. Then “Gen” with a hard “G“…

I often make little edits of tunes here and there too play out in the club’s. This is the most recent flip to be done. I have been meaning to finish the full version of the “We Got The Bass” joint off our album for like two weeks now. Things got crazy in the studio and I ended up working on this one late in the morning when I should have been doing other junk.
It’s a little mash between Diplo’s “Must be a devil”, MGMT’s “Time to pretend (diplo remix)” and L-Vis 1990’s remix of “Hey”. All credit goes to the artists who wrote the jams in the first place, I just cut and paste some stuff really with a few chops added for fun.

Toilet time edits are pretty self explanatory really. If you need to do a long #1 or short #2 when in the middle of your set, and cant afford to loose any of the dance floor…. That’s when its time to drop this sucker. Ill be adding more toilet times as often as I can.

So this is the second drop from the “Music For Hustlers Album” for ya’ll. Some are bootlegs, some are remixes and others are OG’s. The OG’s will be released here along with remixes from a bunch a talented cats from across the globe.

This drop is a un-official remix from Lewis, Scatters and myself (Mu-Gen). This track had more changes than any thing else I have worked on. It went through the hands of all three of us and morphed into something completely different each time. Scatters started it off as a bugged out electro swing joint, Lewis flipped it into some ghetto drum shit, and I got to work on it last, adding the other stuff like vocals and what not. Bass lines, speeds, arrangements and pretty much everything else was flipped on each exchange. I did not hear scatters original version until i finished the track. I nearly wet my pants at the difference.

Anyway it’s our own Scatterblog remix on the Killa Queenz Bitches number. When the promo of this release came our way via Ooh-ee it had the acca attached. “Bingo I’m using it”. The girls are so on point at the moment. I have always loved their work and it seems that after a whole bunch of time they are getting the attention both locally and worldwide that they deserve. The recent Bitches release on Sweat It Out saw a whole bunch of crazy remixes by the creme de la creme of electronic producers both here and O.S. My fav was either the Zombie Disco Squad or Ooh-Ee versions which are both getting high rotation in all our sets.

The release is available online through beatport right now. Go here if you wanna get hold of some of the hyped up tunes I’m talking about. Also on beatport is the rest of the Sweat It Out catalogue. Bout time we had local shit killing it world wide.

Well for anyone who was there thank you, for the people that were not, you missed out big time. Last Saturday was pretty much one of the most rad gigs I have ever been a part of.

The party started at around ten with Lewis Cancut (aka Bobby Sock Girl) opening things up. The little fella walked out, threw his hands in the air, yelled some abuse at the crowd, then proceeded to play one crazy as fuck world/hip hop set. I play at the ESPY a lot and have never seen that many people getting down to the first dj, pretty much as soon as he started. Kudos Lewis, Kudos.

The venue just kept filling up more and more as Mat Cant & Paz hyped the dance floor. Both dudes know how to kill a party (in the good sense of the word). Mat was on his b’more, party town vibe making people sweat, whilst Paz tore up the world/club joints to a salivating crowd. I have never had so many people ask me “what’s that track?” before, as they did when Paz was doing his thing.

Next up was Scattermish and I (Mu-Gen) doing the Slap & Dash thing. By this stage the ESPY was full at a little over 1000 people. We have been working on this 4 deck mash up set for about 8 months now and have just recently updated it. It was pretty much the first time we have nailed it from start to finish (soooo chuffed). Which ain’t easy to do when you mix around 130 joints in about 60 min’s. For the last 15 min’s of the Slap & Dash set Angie & Keaton Bale from Digital Manges hit the mic’s…… EPIC……. This is where shit hit boiling point. I don’t think anyone expected a debut performance like that. Manges Rule. The show was stepped up a notch at this point with our good friend, and booty dancer extrodanair Zoe, who killed it on the stage during the Manges set (you can see just how hard she is working in the pic underneath). It’s always nice when you walk off the stage and you have someone like Edu K say “Whoa, I ain’t seen anything like that in 5yrs..”

Which brings us to the final act, EDU K. What happens when you add an out of control wild crowd with a bat shit crazy Brazilian? Toooo much fun that’s what. Edu K is the bomb. He was punching the air, rolling round on the ground playing air guitar, letting women from the audience scratch the decks with their titties. Anything to make the party wild. The dude played a pretty heavy fidget/zombie rave set that was making people get stoopid. Def the highlight of my night was when Hunt from 1fish 2 fish fame attempted a stage dive to no success. SPLAT.

Again thanks to the 1000 or so people that turned up to support us on this one. Believe me, we have many more parties planned for the near future. And if the first two parties are anything to go by, they are only gonna keep getting bigger, better and more wild.

All pics were taken by Simon King. Thanks a buch dude…….

Well it’s about time I got going on this blog. Its my first post so go easy on me. First up we are about to go crazy with the Scatterblog thingy so keep tuned for constant posting by Paz, Scatters and myself.
I’m going to start things off with some news about our new night “COKE ON A NIPPLE” in Melbs. It’s the first in a bunch of “Scatterblog Presents” nights we will be hosting to try and push the good sh!t on you all. This time around its on the hip hop tip, but don’t be mistaken, it’s less of the bogan bbq and more of the futuristic hipster hop/Ghetto hype bounce. All Scatterblog contributors are on the bill with special guest Lewis Cancut. Next month will be wonder boy and latest mix burn contributor Matt Can’t..
To get a feel for the night I have added a little mix I did a while ago for a fashion parade and a couple of other little diddies that are right on point for what we want to push on this night. Paz posted my Toddler T track last week when he was not meant to (thanks 2 Lewis) so I’m posting his Nick Catchdubs remix this week… Ahaha paybacks a bitch!.. Also the long awaited “SLAP & DASH” 4 deck stupidness will be up next week. Stay tuned!

Here comes the heat:

This mix in its form here is basically a 15 min electronic hip hop mix. Since then alot has changed and in its current form it has been turned into a full 1 hour show with live vocals by D-Fro (Scatterfro Fame).. We are still in the process of recording it for the summer festival season but will have the complete jive up for download soon..

Don’t know much about this except Paz was keeping to himself until now… Muahahah!

Dandi Wind / Adolescent (Nick Catchdubs Remix) (zshare)
Dandi Wind / Adolescent (Nick Catchdubs Remix) (YSI)

This ain’t the newest of tunes but a great example of 150bpm ghetto hype.. Exactly the type of part tune I cant get enough of right now… It starts off as a synthy slow hip hop burner that gradual morphs into a full ghetto tech style slammer.. We used this in our 4 deck set as a change up track… So get down on this looked over heat!
