Savvy Set List (none / 0) (#2)

Thanks to those dancing last night. Tunes I played at Savvy (in order);

Rockers Revenge - Walking On Sunshine (Hott 22 Rhodes Remix)
Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra - Mister Sinister (Faze Action Vocal Mix)
M.o.D - Moonshine (Latin Flava Mix)
Love Box - Love You More Everyday (Morten Trust Remix)
Regina's Sax Experience - Matt Caseli Caseli (Porn Mix)
Mojo Project - Tell Me Why (Kiki Navarro Funk Explosion Mix)
Andre Harris - Get Down Africa (Main Mix)
Inaya Day - Lift It Up (Foundation Mix)
Inaya Day - Nasty Girl (Riffs and Rays Remix)
Bon Garcon - Freek U (Haji & Emanuel Remix)
Axwell feat. Steve Edwards - Watch The Sunrise (Original HAHAHA mix)
Annette Taylor - Faith (Copyright Dub)
Shawn Christopher feat. Ron Carroll - You Can Make It:Part 2 (B's Preacher-Man Mix)

I enjoyed the set, started off pretty relaxed, moved into funky tunes on the jazz tip with Sax Experience and the Kiko Navarro tune...and then a triple girly play with Inaya and Bon Garcon... before testing out some newbies towards the end - and before you know it, 90 minutes is up. "Get Down Africa" probably wasn't too well placed, it's rather deep for the Saturday night crowd, but heck I love it. "Watch The Sunrise" was well recieved, that guitar just damn right down and funky, Axwell with another bomb. I'll be interested how the new Ron Carroll tune holds up, the preacher thing has been thrashed out a bit... and I'm still undecided if it's a bomb or will become annoying and whiny after a few weeks - we'll wait and see. Not the most articulate write up of the night, but I'm bloody hungover and tired.

Thanks also to the Vodka Bar (Moskva) faithful, who enjoyed those tunes and more. Personal highlight of the night was ripping out Deep Zone Project - Arrogance Lifestyle/Let's get down. That second breakdown when the violins kick in. Cripes buckle up kids.

Punkrok w Katherine Ellis - Get Dirty (Main Mix) also was well recieved, and Olav Basoski - Streets of Moscow (2005 Mix) with BOS on sax going head to head with the sax in the track was a sight to behold. Blew the roof off. Also on Olav's latest EP comes Promises, another huge tune well received.

See you all next week! Stay safe.

Ben James.

Hey bud, Thanks for all the contributions. I am sorry couldn't really stay for your set a Savvy. Sounda like you had fun. Tell you what- Vodka bar looks like one of the best clubs in Adelaide easy! Great new bar gives it serious depth. I can imagine the vibe in there on a busy night. On Friday there where, however, nuff visits by Adelaide 50.....hmmmm. Overcrowding?? Anyway, hope to catch you next Sat, might drop into Vodka after the show at Savvy this Sat night. Laters

Yeah there's a bit of attention lately...all under control as far as I know. The new bar does give a great new dimension, allows for some up close viewing of the DJ booth too, hopefully creating more interest in DJing in general...

Thanks to everyone who came in last night. The set was a mixed bag of goodies, with the mood changing quite a number of times throughout the 3 hours.

Thanks again to BOS for his fantastic efforts last night.

Tunes I enjoyed playing included:

Davidson Ospina - Chantos
Mojo Project - Tell Me Why (Kiki Navarro Funk Explosion Mix)
Annette Taylor - Faith (Copyright Dub)
Havanna Funk - Ya Salio (John Kano Dirty Havana Dub)
Bon Garcon - Freek U (Haji & Emanuel Remix)
Shawn Christopher feat. Ron Carroll - You Can Make It:Part 2 (B's Preacher-Man Mix)
Axwell feat. Steve Edwards - Watch The Sunrise (Original HAHAHA mix)
Chroma - Twilight (Emjay & Steviesole Baracus Mix)
Deep Zone Project - Arrogance Lifestyle / Let's get down now (We don't stop 'till we get enough) with `E-Samba' acapella chorus loop
Punkrok feat. Katherine Ellis - Get Dirty (Vocal Mix)
Olav Bosaski - African Dub

Top 3 of the night were
TJM - Small Circle Of Friends (DJ Prom's Stompin Peak Time Mix)
Grant Nelson - Je Suis Le Drogue (Jackin Dub Mix)
and most of all...
Richard F. & Ralphie Romance - Say What (R'nR's Filthy Preacher Mix)

Take care and see you all next week with a fresh batch of new tunes.

As long as you don't say 'play something good' or 'do you have any music we can dance to?' I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for coming in last week, this week will be a good old hoot - see you on the dance floor.

Well we didn't say hi....but you couldn't have missed us! We were right at the front on the dancefloor, the two tall chicks...blonde (Nicole) and brunette (me) :) If you didn't see us, you're blind :P

Yep I think I know the ones...the two girls with the cheeky smiles who kept checking me out and winking at me?

Seriously though - curly haired brunette with a taller straight haired blonde?

I'm glad you had prime position for what I believe was the closest I've ever come to a perfect set. I just don't know where to begin...who can forget the Peter Heller's Phela Vox remix of Everybody, into the original Everybody, then into TJM - Small Circle Of Friends (DJ Prom's Stompin Peak Time Mix). And for old times sake as a special Birthday request, the musicapella of Chase the Sun with the echo effect on BOS! I can't remember the last time I felt such energy in the room. Hands in the air people!

Futhermore, TimBOS (Sax) was absolutely on point Saturday night. When I came on at 2am, I resetted the mood, dropped the energy a fair bit, went a touch deeper, and sorted out who was there for the cheese and who was there for the new quality house. The energy built slow but steady over the first 4-5 tracks, and from then on it you could tell whom the discerning listeners were and that they were ready for some upfront house. Again many thanks to BOS for bringing some of those new deeper tracks alive...

I'll post the set list and more thoughts, but thanks again for coming and being an appreciative audience. I think you saw me at my best Saturday night - cutting, scratching, beat manipulating, jumping around and hand clapping!

I hope you enjoyed yourselves half as much as I did.
