My first time playing records out of the house this year. And a great event – the fifth birthday for A Vinyl Affair: Wellington’s Record Fair. And though I had played records at a “A Vinyl Affair” event before it was my first time in a while and my first time ever playing some tunes at the Rogue […]Archive

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman, December 28, 2018
Most years between Christmas and New Year’s I do a wee DJ set at the San Fran, our way of letting the people know the bar’s open again in the lead up to Bill E’s New Year’s Eve extravaganza. It’s a low-key thing. Summer tunes. Usually “Kiwi BBQ” is the theme, this year I decided […]Archive

Summer Sounds with Simon Sweetman: DJ Set (Friday, Dec. 28, 2018)
When I’m in Wellington in-between Christmas and New Year’s – my favourite time to be in Wellington, the city is sleeping, it’s holiday-time – I play a DJ set up at the San Fran. I missed the chance last year due to being away for a long stretch, but often at this time of the […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Andy’s 40th, Verandah Bar, Saturday, February 17, 2018
Down to Christchurch overnight for a good mate’s 40th – and was doing the DJing too… A lot of 1980s and 1990s things, bit all over the shop, trying to find the various sweet spots… Hmm, here it is:Archive

Playlist: Funky Summer (Vol. 1)
It was meant to be a DJ set in the summer sun but the rain kicked in that afternoon, a storm, add to that it was the very start of the year and people were looking for any excuse not to be out, a thunderstorm being just perfect. So I played a bunch of tunes […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Funky Summer – The Best Music In The World, BBQ Edition, January 5, 2018, San Fran
Well it wasn’t BBQ weather. It was barely summer. And it wasn’t really funky – though I tried. It was pretty much just me and the bar-staff. It’s always a punt this time of year, and when the weather turned from sunshine to storm in the middle of the day that sealed the fate really. […]Archive

Funky Summer – The Best Music In The World – BBQ Edition, January 5, 2018, San Fran: DJ Set
I’m of the believe that “The Best Music In The World” is funk, soul and jazz. All of the hybrids, sub-genres and spinoffs too. That’s the music I love more than any other. And I’ve been building a kick-ass vinyl collection of Stax, Motown and old-school classics as well as some more modern hip-hop, soul-groove […]Archive

Playlist: Yet Another 80s Playlist
Time for another 80s playlist – so I call this one Yet Another 80s Playlist…and when I say “time for another 80s playlist” what I really mean is last weekend I DJ’d a corporate Christmas party with a 1980s theme. And so I’ve loaded all those tunes up into a playlist – it’s quite nice […]Archive

DJ Setlist: Intergen Christmas Party, Boat Shed, Wellington, Saturday, December 2, 2017
It was the Intergen Christmas Party – and an 80s theme, everyone looked great, the room was dressed up too, I was the DJ. An all-vinyl set, some background to start, a few bits between the band breaks and then aArchive
