The Golden Dawn: DJ Set (Friday, September 8)

djAuckland – I will be making my first trip of the year to see you next Friday, September 8. And it’s been the thing to do the last couple of years, hook up a wee DJ set at Golden Dawn. So I’m doing it again…Friday, September 8 I’ll be on the 5-8pm shift, Ben Salter is playing inside later in the evening and The Dirty Stanky Funky DJs will be doing the outside spot in the late evening, so I’m the fluffer. I like that spot – it’s fun. Play some tunes, background/soundtrack to the after-work drinks. Nice.

This time, to try keep it interesting – for me, anyway – I’m going to attempt my first ever set with just 7s – singles, one or two EPs perhaps, but pretty much just the A-Side or the B-Side. I have a random case of singles – so we’ll see what happens (okay, I’ll chuck one or two LPs in case this ends up being an utterly terrible idea). It should be good though – music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s – oh god, that sounds like a classic hits promo! It’s unlikely what I’ll play will sound like a classic hits promo…september-8-2017

I do love playing records at the Golden Dawn. Great place, good atmosphere, great beer and food, good staff – a nice vibe.

I’ll do my best then to not kill all of that!

So, next Friday, 5-8pm join me for anything from Trini Lopez to Bill Direen and almost every point in-between…
