Salutations from the east side. Here is the latest offering. His name is Joyride. He’s a bit of a man about town. Fingers in pies. Etc. He DJs for Spit Syndicate, performs with The Tongue, feats on every second hip hop song in Sydney and now has his own band called Joyride and the Accidents. I like it very much but I'm not sure what genre to call it? He says “neo soul”. What a wanker.

Check it on Soundcloud here. Also, that is not him in the photo above.

yep today is another one. *excited friday spiel*

melbourne kid cassian seems to have popped up from nowhere.. at first i thought he was the cassian from snob scrilla and csk ok fame, but after listening to some tracks, i knew he couldnt be.. no lo-fi/rough bedroom bangers here - think warm slap-bass-driven funk.. think slick friday soundtrack..

Damn Arms - Destination (Cassian Remix)

jason tyler recently sent us this song recently which definitely grinds and bangs with the best of them.. although i really strongly dislike most sorts of hip hop in electronic music, these vocals actually match the song really well. except for the 'chi-town! chi-town! chicago!' chant. that could have easily been left out.

Jason Tyler - Heartbeats

in other djing related news, good blouse friends sosueme are playing at splendour this weekend. seriously epic news. word on the street is that they were (naturally) pretty excited when they got the call up.
so excited that they went ahead and made a mixtape for their long journey up there.
for people like me who are stuck at home, this mix might be able to act as a sort of teleport machine.. we might not actually be there, but by listening to it we can easily imagine what it would be like.

Sosueme In The Grass Mix by Joyride and Hansom

not working? damn.

in less epic news, me and mandu from electrorash are spinning some sikkk tracks down at soho in the cross tonight.. if youre out and about come down and say hi!

Dear Joyride,

In the last year you have firmly planted yourself on my Sydney DJ radar. I think this is because you play good songs – always some bangers but always some party songs and some old school hip hop. You’ve mastered the indie house party vibe. It might also be because you have size 18 feet and you know when to play Dreadlock Holiday and when not to. These are all excellent qualities in a DJ. I also think your rework of Urthboy is so icily chilled and your remix of Horrowshow is gnarly and dubsteppy. You do good things for Aussie hip hop. You are a good man. And that pic of you with two midget Joyride’s on either shoulder… This is cool and, if replicated in real life, could be a new cutting edge way of delivering a DJ set/performance and possibly outdo Bertie Blackman's sneaker set at Parklife. Just some thoughts.

Love,

Rachel


Urthboy - Hellsong (Joyride Remix)

Horrowshow - Choose None (Joyride Remix)


Joyride plays every Friday at sosueme and lots of other places… And listen out for his angelic voice on Horrowshow’s upcoming album as well as shit from Urthboy and Spit Syndicate.
