Listen "MFSA070: Westside"
Episode Synopsis
Last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to play some house music for a housewarming party celebrating the newly expanded home of two very good friends. Located in the inner west, this groovy pad was once two separate residences, which through some creative design work now works as a beautiful single home.
The party was fantastic, and the setup superlative, from the lamb on a spit through to the top range Pioneer hardware set up in the DJ booth. As a get together it was one we had been looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. From a musical perspective I had a chance to play exactly the set I wanted, from early afternoon trip hop through to some rather large late evening tunes. It was also a chance to make new friends, and to share a booth with two solid blokes across ten plus hours.
In DJing as in life, good preparation is key. This mix was recorded the weekend previously, as a test run through many of the songs I hoped I would be playing at the housewarming. It represents a fairly accurate snapshot of the set I played once the sun went down, the crowd moved indoors, and the lighting rig came out.
