DJ Setlist: San Fran, Summer Sounds on the Balcony, Saturday, December 28, 2019

I was back at the San Fran for my annual summer BBQ/balcony session – a chance to fill the crates with all sorts and see what happens. Start slow and drifty, maybe get a dancefloor, maybe play some emo-singers and power-ballads, 80s cheese and 90s hip-hop sleaze…anything goes. So here’s what went:

DJ Setlist: San Fran, Spines Dreamboat Album Release, Saturday, November 23, 2019

Great to be there on the decks in-between sets for another album release by the Spines. (Here’s where you go to buy/hear the new album by the way). A couple of years ago I played the tunes in and around the show when they released their Epidural album. And now it was time to launch […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 a

DJ Setlist: The Golden Dawn, 5-8pm Shift, Friday, September 8

It’s always lovely to be back at The Golden Dawn and playing some records – as I was just the other day, on Friday night, early shift – 5pm-8pm, setting up the evening, sending off the afternoon. I decided I’d try to play all 7s. And that was generally what happened. A couple of newer […]

Playlist: Spines Album Release Party (DJ Set)

Recently the Spines released their new album Epidural (excellent) and I was on hand to play some tunes in between the bands that night. It was a great night, a good fun set and so I wanted to share it. Perfect for the start – or end – of your Friday or Saturday night I […]

Playlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women In Music (DJ Set)

Last week I played a bunch of records in a bar, only songs by or featuring women. I’d done it earlier in the year and it was time for another run. A pretty cool set of songs I reckon. So I decided to share them with you just as I did with the earlier DJ […]

Playlist: She-Bop (DJ Set)

Earlier in the year I played a DJ set called She-Bop – it was simple really, just play a bunch of tunes by or featuring women. It was a great night – from slow, low-key beginnings to a big, long, loud party… Well, I’m doing it all again with She-Bop 2 so thought I’d share the […]

DJ Setlist: San Fran presents “The Greatest Music In The World”, San Fran, Friday, March 24, 2017

I had this idea that the “Greatest Music In The World” was all the soul, funk and R’n’B, maybe a little touch of blues and jazz – if I could only listen to that for the rest of my life I’d be happy. Turns out it makes for a decent setlist too I reckon. It […]
