Quick Reminder: Nosaj/TokiMonsta

Here's a quick reminder to everyone in Sydney who enjoys Hip-Hop beats, instrumentals or just good music in general. The famed Nosaj Thing and Tokimonsta will be playing in Sydney on the 22nd of July 2011! Which is just under a month away, I advise you to get tickets ASAP! I'll be ranting about it for the next few weeks until the days count down.

Tokimonsta is pretty sick live already! And with Nosaj that's like an L.A. Korean double damage!

Don't know Nosaj Thing or Tokimonsta?

And the famed KEXP live set by Nosaj Thing (Watch it in HD if you can!)

The intro samples OutKast's 'ATLiens' and creates this deep atmosphere... I'm pretty sure this would be one of the best sets to witness in my life.

Snap Snap Pop Pop!

Waited at home all day for these babies :)

Audio Technica ATH-AD700, they're so comfortable and the soundstage, highs and mids are completely amazing. Cannot wait for a Fiio E7 to power these babies a little more :)
Nosaj Thing, Debussy, GZA and a few other picks have made my ears melt on this cold winter's day. Burning these in will be one of the best things ever!



The weekend was pretty fun, I finally met my other Mother Diane and I spent the evening at Sneakerology enjoying Katalyst on the decks and omnomnoming on mini burgers. Met some old faces and saw some new, also talked to a girl from 'That Store' for a job opportunity in the city (Something I have needed in so long)

Got really drunk and passed out at the Gaelic. Thanks to Claudia for letting me lean on her :P

OFWGKTA - VIVID Live

Tyler and the boys put on a good show, would've been crazy if Earl was there but whatever. Good ole antics by Tyler (He farted in the microphone!) and Grace touched him! Wish I bum rushed the stage, lighting was cool too. Would do again.

DOOM's in the Room

Hmm been busy.

But DOOM was intense, he brought the vibe and kept it running from start to finish. I didn't want this one to end. The encore was coo.

Met Kimi-chan first time in like a year! Was good to catch up :)

I also went Plaster Painting. I love you grace :)

Lingering Tastes of Satisfaction

Grape Drank is like crack for me...

Cafe Ish. Very del-ISH :p

Edamame, Soft Shell Crab, Sweet Sake and very full stomachs!

Followed by Seekae and Mount Kimbie. Oh Mount Kimbie was disappointing :( although seekae are good as always :) Get their latest +Dome album!

And congratulations to Grace, Carolina, Claudia and William for graduating :)

I don't know if I'm dreaming anymore

All I know is that I'm falling, falling, falling.

Listening to James Blake, who's this new dub artist from England. Fresh out with his self titled LP, he's got a slow dub release that's reminiscent of a mix of a vocal trance mixed with dub chill. The equation leaves you with an amazing romantic lyrical trip. Definitely a great start to 2011, would go on the shelf alongside Washed Out or Toro Y Moi in my chillwave and chill dub hits.

Other musical good news is that I've locked DOOM tickets in March. Alongside DOOM is Mount Kimbie, who easily took album of 2010 in my books. I hit a rough patch when I found out tickets to his show at Good God was sold out, I was spewing when I realized this. The next day was spent panicking and figuring out what to do, so a friend suggested I see him in Melbourne. It would be an amazing idea since dizz1 and Lorn are also supporting but bad for me trying to save some cold hard funds. Luckily this story ends the next day when I find out from Grace that MK has a second show. Bought 3 tickets the second I found out, so now I shall see you readers at both events, DOOM and Mount Kimbie.

Recently been overcoming a cold and had an intense fever 1 week ago that I was pretty much sure I was clinically insane. I visited a few new places which were amazing and interesting. Did a photo job which made me love shooting once again. New contacts and new jobs are always fun.

Typing this off my iPad so I hope I'll come back and add some photos or something.
