Except this month’s edition was graced by the presence of a very special – and very talented – guest.
All through the night, lucky party-goers were able to dance and groove to the beats of none other than Mr. Thing, from the legendary Scratch Perverts.
His incredible technical skills and his impeccable good taste in music rocked the 2nd floor, while on the 3rd floor lighter soul made for a more intimate groovy time.
*UPDATE*
Here’s Mr. Thing’s entire performance in excellent quality! Even better, it’s downloadable!
In other musical news this month, Pushin’ On’s Chunk prepared an excellent mix that rocked our socks off:
As if that weren’t enough music, here’s the little 8tracks playlist I prepared as a promo selection for Mr. Thing’s gig:
I’m going to be travelling around the South of France for a couple of weeks, so I probably won’t be able to post any updates.
But hopefully I’ll come back with lots of music, photos, and objects found along the way.
In the meantime here’s a little 8tracks playlist I prepared for my long flight.
I deliberately chose a lot of slower songs I’ve liked these past two weeks. Songs that for obvous reasons I couldn’t play at a live gig but that are particularly relevant to sky and cloud gazing while flying through the air.
The Training Shed, a discreet and unassuming bar in the middle of Labrador Nature Reserve, was taken over by some 400 people hungry for BBQ, music, graffiti, outdoor fun, and good times.
The music kept on blaring all through the night, from funky tunes to groovy live sets. I think we can safely say that the night was a success, since everyone ate, danced, and partied until nightfall. Most importantly, everyone asked us when was the next one planned for!
PS: Regular readers will know that I usually include photos of the event and of the venue, but last week after a particularly rowdy house party the external hard drive that housed ALL my photos and other precious documents stopped working.
I’m not too worried (yet!) since the drive does respond, it just seems to be stuck in some sort of loop. Hopefully the repairmen I found will be able to extract all my data and I’ll be able to recover the photos I took of the event.
In the meantime, here’s the cool flyers that were made, and I’ll add photos from other attendees as soon as I receive them.
It’s been a while since I posted anything, but fret not, that only means I was busy coming up with cool stuff to post.
I’ve just completed a mix for Pushin’ On, the first in a series of promo mixes we will be churning out on a monthly basis.
I originally wanted to feature some of the latest funky sounds I’ve discovered, but I realized that lately I’ve been mostly listening to jazzy hip-hop.
Here are some of the tunes that didn’t make the cut but that will definitely get some airplay at upcoming events:
Speaking of upcoming events, The Pushin’ On crew is teaming up with the Bamrah Bros to bring you the perfect Sunday activity: BBQ, outdoor fun, and music!
Mark your calendars and make sure you join us on Sunday July 17 at The Training Shed (Labrador Park)!
*UPDATE*
Here’s a little promotional 8tracks playlist I prepared for this kickass event:
Getting there:
Oh, and one last thing! If you hadn’t noticed, I now have a Twitter feed on my sidebar. That’s right, I finally had to give in and start using the damn thing. But for now it’s mostly work-related tweets, links to articles on tech, the web, etc.
And wouldn’t you know it, as soon as I get used to Twitter people start migrating to Google+…sigh…
Last week my Pushin’ On buddies and I played some tunes at Quintessentialy Singapore’s 3rd year anniversary bash.
People dressed up in 1920s-1930s gear, champagne and whisky free-flowed, jitterbug dancers danced all around the venue, and the swing band played some excellent tunes.
Shellsuit and I played some of our favourite big band/swing jazz tunes while people drank and danced.
I managed to find some of the photos a professional photographer took that night, as well as a video from Quintessentially’s 10 year anniversary in the US.
