No one has noticed but I’ve disappeared. This fizzle makes it a more comfortable state, actually. Here’s one part of the last gigs I performed at, ‘Days Like This!‘

Such a great festival. So many heroes. All the Aussie supports were cut but for Simon and I… Quick, filler sets assigned, but damnnit, I tried to smack the back outta those decks in the time that I had. And I did. And now I’m spent. x

“I want to push DJing. I want it to be more than DJing, and also less than DJing. That’s why I’ve started implementing nearicles into my set. Nearicles are like almost miracles. You get close, but its not quite there. Its, its a nearicle!”

Anyway, that’s from my Al, who actually believes in me and is awesome enough to keep me laying hope eggs.

I play a bit of electronica tinged hip hop and speak a bit of Japanese so it was pretty appropriate to get to support my hero, DJ Krush! At my wedding in February, we walked down the aisle to Dj Krush’s “Final Home” (the piano mix) too so it made it pretty poetic, sorta, too.

Poor Krush was a bit stunned because his support rocked up, was a girl, spoke Japanese and told him enthusiastically about getting hitched to one of his songs, (in Japanese). He was bewildered but stoked. When one of the turntables buggered out, he was cool enough to let me use one of his for the remainder of the set too. After my set, he said my tunes were great, high-fived me and clapped me in front of the crowd. I still feel a little glowy…

He then pulled out an awesome set and was such a generous performer and truly the master. Thanks to Landspeed for making a dream come true. Now I just need to support Shadow and Tipper and my list is done!

From the lovely review from BMA:

“We arrived to find the lush sounds of ex-Canberran Bec Paton doing a warm-up set that, had it been louder, and she not a support DJ, would have been more than enough entertainment for one night. Her sublime mixing of records that would pose problems to the most talented of selectors formed a beat-laden, diverse, bass-y and beautiful introduction to the night – which was only slowed by quickly rectified turntable problems – and seemed like a tribute to all Krush is about: gorgeous sounds juxtaposed by drums-of-death.”

The bass manics from True Jungle Souljahs invited me back to Canberra to support Raiden, all the way from the UK and famous for his techno infused drum & bass. While this is not a style I really play, I managed to pull out a killer set of dubstep, grime, jungle and drum and bass. It was heaps of fun with MC Harlequin on the mic and a room full of up-for-it peeps.

I got a pretty awesome review from InTheMix for it too: “Confession #3: I enjoyed the next act more than the headliner. Maybe it was due to my complete lack of exposure to the mega-ultra-cool genre of dubstep before this moment, but Bec Paton’s set absolutely blew me away. Glitchy, bassy and just downright cool, I couldn’t help but get my ‘groove awn’ (sorry dancefloor) and was fixated for an hour in some kind of dubby, wacked-out hypnotic trance. All hail dubstep, the next genre to make you feel like the coolest mo-fo on the planet!”

Sick!
