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.

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?

The answer is 2.37

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

Jailbait?

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.
