Liberteen Ranch Wrap Up

©2005-2008 ~mnolte

What a fun night, tradehooks had a blast!

The night started with an awesome set from ?dj name here? whom played songs i never thought i would hear in Wollongong but whilst enjoying a gin or two i noticed that tradehooks was slightly out of place cos somebody failed to mention to us it was a "leather" theme, there was enough to start our own alt cattle farm. The night may have been an alty-fest but i didn't know it was compulsory alt attire to wear a leather jacket or Pea Coat. Also Raybens suck. I dont know how to spell it, but they really are gay. Get yourselves some AF1s and get with it.

Amy Meredith started with "Running" and lead singer Christian trying to hang himself with his mic lead, he failed luckily. Drums were a bit overpowering but that's what you get in a small area like Upstairs Castro's. They did their thing and everyone enjoyed it, i think they are only going to get more popular and loved in the future.

CSK OK were great, playing bloc party etc riffs on guitar during his set is awesome and takes some skill. We didn't stay for his whole set so haven't got all that much to say, other than i posted his track "Welcome" a while ago, and if you loved his stuff last night here it is again.

zshare: CSK OK - Welcome

Spook played his textbook Miami Horror remixes set downstairs, and we only stayed for 2 songs. He threw his arms around like he was doing shout outs to his homies when he dropped the Twelves remix of Im not Gonna Teach Your BF how To Dance.
Then there was ToeCutter.
Woah,

just woah.

I didn't think Wollongong could handle that many BPM's but everyone did fairly well. The look of confusion/amazement/disbelief/arousal was classic. From his Monolopy-guy moustache to his vocal fills in his tracks, i loved every second of his set. I don't know how many dj's take the time to explain how they have set up their equipment and tell everyone they have a second monitor cos their one on their laptop broke, but i think that is fuckin awesome. He was running ableton somehow, and had an SP 404 sampler and a Kaos effects unit. But IPS sound sucked balls, the speakers just couldnt handle wat toecutter was giving.
Someone should have told him he was holding the mic upside down for the second half of his set though.

When's the next Ranch? Can't wait.

Hendrik Mixtapes

Hendrik Chillin with Australia Hip Hop Superstar Anthony Mundine?

For those of you who are regular readers of tradehooks, you would have noticed some guy called Hendrik stirring the pot in pretty much every post he can get his hands on.

I personally believe he is a fuck and it is hurting me to actually to talk about him (jks)
But me and hendrik have a history, we used to play u11's Illawarra Rep Basketball together, and that crew is tight.

Hendrik also knows shit all about Hip Hop

But other than this he is a good guy, and turns out a half reasonable mixtape DJ at the same time. I have no idea what he uses to mix, but its put together well. He tells me for his latest mix he was drunk/high when he was putting it together. But me and Absentees had a listen last night and we thought it was tradehooks worthy.

I used M.I.A and Uffie as tags because he abuses both of them. Even though he tore on Uffie in every post on here she has been in.

Justice to produce RHCP new album.

What happens when you get a group of ex-heroin addict funksters and add the power of one of thebiggest names in french electro at the moment? You get Justice producing the next Red Hot Chilli Peppers album.

This info was dropped by electro's worst keeper of secrets, Mr Busy P, in an interview with Datatransmission, he also told us about daft punks new studio work a couple of months back.

 Can busy p keep any secrets at all?

 Would you let busy know about your sick remixes? 

 Does busy have a soul?

Sébastien Tellier at Eurovision 2008?

WTF? where have i been?
Sebastian Tellier was France's representative this year at Eurovision.
His song Divine is an amazing track, and his back catalogue is mindblowing (especially Sexuality, produced by Daft Punk's Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo), but he did not stand a chance against the unique musical stylings of Dunstin the Turkey Puppet the representative from Ireland.

zshare: Vicarious Bliss vs Sébastien Tellier - La Ritournelle (Reprise)

He finished in 19th, and the only countries who believed his music was half-decent were Iceland and Lithuania, big shout out to Reykjavik and Vilnius citys.

We love sounds 2008 Sydney

Well, its been a little while since this event, but there was things i saw in party pics that hurt my eyes. Im pissed i missed Oizo

Just coz you have lanyards, don't mean ur important, and gives you no right to wear Shudder Frames (and yes i meant to say shudder)


Give me your l33t shirts, but then the name of your hairdresser so i can punch them in the face


If u have curly hair, kinda fat, and black rimmed glasses, you are apparently cool coz u think u look like Jonah Hill.

Remember Muscles?? He released a new vid

Muscles has released his video for "The Lake" from his 2007 album Guns Babes and Lemonade. I'm not sure what the dealio with this is, i thought we all stopped listening to that album (if we ever were) as it was released September 07.
The vid is pretty cool though, have a look, its worth watching it once. Not much to say about the track though.

Muscles also has some thing going on with doing a few acoustic versions of tracks from Guns Babes. That would be cool, just to see what he can do. Check his site

Old Justice Track 2003

Okay, this morning I woke up, 2 hours probably too early, my body was telling me, Selecta, man give me some more. i couldn't, my room was brighter than old gregs minge, and it was heating up like the small camp oven it is.

i rolled over and saw my itouch, a great source of Wifi entertainment. i navigated my way to my favourite aggregator and found this gem

DLO - Digital Love

OMG CDJ's!

If you haven't heard about DLO here's what he has to say about himself...

"Back in 2001 some kid in Australia got sick of bad house music and boring parties. So he decided to start DJing. He figured the only way this would happen was to get together with his buddy Magic Happens, get some friends bands to play, buy some Chromeo and David Bowie records and make everyone dance til 7am."

He has toured Australia with peeps like the Klaxons, Cut Copy, Pnau, Van She and Midnight Juggernauts...damn.

DLO Myspace

He's got some sweet taste in music and sent me this track to post up.

mp3: DLO - Hold Message

PS. should i be asking lots of questions in this post?
would that be too much like HRO?
am i contradicting myself?

oh and did i mention you have to be there in paris to BUY them in person.

and if you like the shit, buy the shit

track links down

most of our tracks links will be down cos we got hated on by some higher authority. Hopefully have them all back up soon.

if you really wanted to listen to something and can't...blame coldplay

nightlife, nothing to blog about here

browsing some local recent party pics and then all of a sudden, i saw something that surprised me. OMG WTF TIESTO!?!?! it must be, orchestrating the crowd, standing above the decks like the messiah of tech house, nothing he can play can be wrong, playing exclusive unreleased trax he found when he was digging in tokyo earlier in the week?then i spoke to a well informed member of tradehooks skillz, to checkitout, and i was let down. turned out it was a shitty brotherly qld DJ duo who was playing at a pub with a new coat of paint. these 'DJs' who have been playing the same trax off sessions 3 and onelove mixtapes for the last 4 years. do these fggts no wat it's like to spend hours sneezing from the dust, going through thousands of vinyl, sometimes with no avail,for that chance to find that diamond, probs no.
At least they have a kute alt-AZN in the box (i know its not Aoki, but they couldnt afford him) , which reminded me of something our good friends at Hipster Runoff said a few weeks ago about AZNs

Do most AZNs try to be white people or black people?
Or are AZNs just being AZNs?
Or are we all just trying to be Agyness Deyn?

is that guy standing on the bar an MC? the last time i checked MCs wore fresh threads, not 'Fresh Jive'. wore custom AF1 trainers and knew what Kurtis Blow, Beastie Boys, Sugarhill Gang, Gang Starr, Public Enemy, Poets of Rhythm, meant to the game. and to be a real DJ do u have to wear tight black V-necks with dog tags, even though you have done no military service for our country. Real DJs dress like the boys below, shifty yet cool, have their own style, and people want to be just like them.
A real DJ stage needs the following things;
-at least 3 french guys
-someone signed by at least Ed Banger
-someone who has an album that has no letters in its' title, yet is a word
-some PU$IE, and some cleavage showing
-an alt-AZN
-Djs with cool vintage Ts
-steve aoki (this is the first party pic aoki has not been featured in, ever)
-DJs being humble

This is Justice, and busy P is on just to the left of the speaker. this is in Canberra, last year at Academy. Probably the 2nd biggest DJ duo in the world, after Daft Punk, do you see any of them ever stand on their desks, the answer is no. So, Stafford Bros, and all you other wanna-be-alt-DJs fuckin sit the fuck down

If your music is good enough you don't need to stand up there

Fuck you all,

Your Boi

Uffie. Nippley Party Pics Thursday.

Hate her of Love her... Uffie is a pretty bangin electro chick, she is basically the "female version of steve aoki" (selecta). Except that she is not a massive douche bag, nah Aoki is cool, but some party pics came to my attention thanks to the Alt-Bro's over at hipsterrunoff.

The pictures in question all depict uffie in a pink see-thru, outfit. Whilst not the most glamorous of fashion choices, as one blog puts it, "With nips that juicy, how can you not blog about them".

Check out all the nippley pics and other cool party pics here.
