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 […]

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

Playlist: Vinyl Friday 1980s DJ Set (240611)

The other day I shared a playlist from when I DJ’d a set called “The Other 80s”. It’s an idea I’ve had a while and revisited a few times – but I think the first time I put it into any sort of shape (if you can call it that) was at the old (no […]

Playlist: The Other 80s (DJ Set)

I’ve had this idea in my head for year – and I’ve had a few goes at translating it – an eighties DJ set that doesn’t include all the obvious (“pop”) moments; so it has blues and jazz and it has some of the lesser known acts, or lesser known cuts from the bigger acts. […]

Playlist: Boomshack DJ Set (180611)

I just found a setlist from when I played some records before and after and between sets for Wellington’s old favourites, The Boomshack Band. These guys and girls would roll through so many great songs from the 1950s and 60s, rockabilly and rock’n’roll – one time they backed Wanda Jackson as a pick up band […]

Sweetman Podcast: Episode 63 – DJ Bill E

Welcome to episode 63 of Sweetman Podcast with support from our sponsors – T Leaf T and Yeastie Boys. We say goodbye and thankyou to L’Affare; they supplied me and the guests with coffee across the last year. And it was always a treat. But, speaking of treats we have a new sponsor, Le Petite […]

Playlist: A Good Night In

I played a bunch of records in a bar last week and decided, when I looked at the setlist that it would make for a good night in. Some people around, or on your own. Just a good bunch of songs; just perfect for a night in. So I made it up as a playlist.

DJ Setlist: A Pixies Party, Meow, Friday, March 10, 2017

The idea was to put on an evening that offered some music to those that missed out on the Pixies gig and doubled as a sort of after-party. It wasn’t busy. It was not successful. But I did get to play a bunch of tunes I love – and I reckon I put together a […]

DJ Setlist: Bowie’s Birthday Bash – Tribute to David Bowie on his 70th Birthday, San Fran, Sunday, January 8, 2017

Well, we paid tribute to David Bowie on his 70th Birthday in the only way we know how – just as last year we played a tribute show at the San Fran with various DJs so it was again. I played the opening afternoon set, and then a little blast a bit later on too…in-between […]

DJ Setlist: The Great Kiwi BBQ, San Fran, Thursday, December 29, 2016

Well, we do this every year or two – The Great Kiwi BBQ – I take some records down to the San Fran, all Kiwi music from all sorts of eras, fads, trends – and I play them in whatever order I feel like. And so it was last night, a good night and a […]

The Great Kiwi BBQ: DJ Set

I love this time of year – and I particularly love this time of year in Wellington. It’s quiet. And you can get a park anywhere, and no one is in a rush. In fact it’s almost a ghost-town, in the best possible way… Most years around this time I put on a Great Kiwi […]
