So Melbourne kids:
You will be catching him either at Stereosonic (which is tommorow), at Meredith… or if you are like me, at a nice intimate setting here:-

A decade is a long time in dance music and aside from hosting his radio show, Tim has also completed various productions with a plethora of the most important NY peeps, toured the world as a DJ he even sold out the toff last time he played at THDF! so come down and help Tim celebrate one hell of an achievement, at one of the best nightspots melbourne has to offer. Tim will be playing for no less than 4 hours on the night, and yes we will be using the Bozak for that authentic NY loft party vibe & sound! support on the night from Melbournes fastest rising Dj duo Otologic & Andee Frost.

Whoah, talk about a break from blogging… Apologies my dearest readers for putting the smoke machine on low but now things are about to get heavy. JD is overseas (I think..?) for a tiny bit so I better put this party into full gear. Let’s cut to the chase:

Bang Gang’s and ex-Riot in Belgium big boy Beni released his killer track “Maximus” a while back on Kitsune, featuring Sam Sparro on the vox. A remixes EP also followed dropping late last month but the mix you are about to grab hasn’t been put out there in the interwebs so consider this an xxxclussiveee.

My homeboys Andee and Ooh Ee have been conjuring up storms left, right and center, producing two mixes for “Maximus” known as the Blue and Pink versions. You can pick up the RMX’s EP right now on Beatport where you can grab the available Pink Version but compared to its sister, the Blue version is more of a chilled house number, which screams sexyness. Oh so sexy.
MP3: Beni – Maximus (Andee & Ooh Ee Blue Version) [EXXXCLUSIVEE]

The two lads also did a mix and dub for the Presets track “Kicking & Screaming” which was out on Modular a while back. Nice acidy, housey techno. Should also note that the dub was on Tim Sweeney’s BIS Radio Show #482.

I’ve also been informed that Andee & Ooh Ee are indeed working on an EP that will be sometime out in the future. I wanted more info on this but all I got from Andee was “(it will sound like) rohypnohouse with a splash of acid topped off with with a little bit of tranny techno.”

Tim Sweeney…resident DJ for DFA Records and host of the popular Beats In Space radio show. It’s just been made public that Sweeney will be playing several dates down the east coast of Australia in October!!
