The Surecut Kids

Credit goes out to my friend James for putting us onto this one. I never realized just how ‘hip hop’ soft drinks were until now!!

Holla, holla… and Hollaaaa! You know summertime is just around the corner when all the festivals start popping up! We played at this one last year and it was a really fun day. In fact so much fun that i got a little bit worked up and did a backflip off the stage! Bouncers didnt even seem to mind! (nice one!!)
This year they’ve added another stage and it’s looking like being a kickass day already Get your tickets sorted and we’ll see you there!

Oh and here’s our clip from last year – Caution: contains massive amounts of air-drumming and jumping! Good times!!

Vassuuuuuuup?!  Got a little nugget of goodness for you here if you are the type of person who likes your club tunes with a hint of hip hop. Bird Peterson has been giving away a free track per day over on his blog. There’s some oldies on there, some new joints, and there’s even some unreleased stuff… I had a sniff through and there seems to be a fair bit of slammin electro which isn’t massively my thing but still some of it was just too good to not download. But the real gems for me were these two…. I love a good club edit of a hip hop track so these had me foaming at the mouth.

‘The Jump Off’ is an amazing bassline remix of the classic Wu Tang Clan song. Guaranteed to tip the party into overdrive! And ‘Chuck The Deuce’ is catchy as hell and totally a great idea, but in my opinion the vocal gets a bit repetitive after a while so im working on a remix/edit now to try and take it even further. If it ends up turning out ok i’ll post it up here.

Anyways, get over to his blog and check out all the goodness!!

Oh! One last thing!! When you’re playing ‘Chuck The Deuce’ loudly and dancing around to it, may i suggest that you rap along with it but change the lyrics from “I got them diamonds in my mouth” to “I got vaginas in my mouth” ….. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

Yooooooooooooooo! Good evening to you! Ok so it’s that time of year when the teeth of winter are well and truly sunk in and you cant help but think about tropical holidays in warmer climates. As it turns out, Benji is going to just such a destination next week! We will have one last feature night together this Saturday at Fampire and then thats it until Parklife. Whoa! First time we’ve ever spent time apart! It’s gonna be crazy!! I’m gonna leave the toilet seat up and go on a riverboat gambling cruise etc hahaha!… Bada-bing!

Anyhoo, come wamp out with us at the top floor of Family this weekend – its always beyond crazy up there – and then we will see you for another world-ender at Parklife. Boomshalakalaka!

Our main man Cutloose AKA ‘Vampire Wookie’ AKA ‘Spirit-Fingers’ AKA ‘The Man With The Million Dollar Perm’ is back with another red hot mix. If you’re into your Glitch-hop, this one will have you jizzing lightning!  Cut has taken a real shining to this genre over the last few years, and in my opinion he is at the forefront of this particular sound in Australia (besides being a dab-hand at whatever other style he touches) so much so that he’s made a whole album of glitchy bangers which is soon to be released on D-Fault records. But for now check out this mix, if this doesn’t get you pulling the stinky-face i dont know what will!

Hey friends. If you live on the Gold Coast, you’ll no doubt know that this friday is a public holiday. That means your weekend starts on Thursday night and there’s no reason for you to miss out on the partyness thats about to happen.

We will be playing at Platinum’s 6th birthday party – its set to be HUGE! They’ve been kind enough to let us have our way with the ‘Pure Lounge’ which is the rad little side room. We plan to turn it upside down so get your ass there and let’s shake it down!

Happy weekend! And if you live in Mackay, this one’s for you. We are playing at Code nightclub’s 1st birthday. We had such a great time up there at the River Sessions festival recently that we jumped at the chance to get back up there and stink the place up. If you live up that way, it’s time you put on your comfy shoes and “leave it all on the dancefloor”. See you there!!

Even though its the teeth of winter, we still get a lot of really nice beach days here on the Gold Coast. And nothing goes with a beach day like reggae. So it’s been awesome timing that this mixtape was recently shown to me…

Last week we had the pleasure of playing a show after Mike Who & Dj Ability at Sydney’s Dust Tones. The night was heaps of fun and these guys absolutely smashed a 4 turntable hip hop set. Massive respect! Anyways, Mike Who has mixed this killer selection of reggae and dancehall, and i gotta tell ya – IT’S FIYAAAAAH!!!!  Wait for a sunny day, put this on your ghetto blaster and go sit on the beach with your friends. Boom!

Check out this dreamy tune by Catcall … i’ve been listening to it on loop for a week now. It’s awesome! And yeah, i said “dreamy”.

Check it out – A friend of ours recently used our song ‘80/20′ in this surf clip. Its a slick production too! Our song is from the 1:00 mark to 5:20…. Not the Baywatch theme at the start haha!

Hey friends, we made it home from Sydney in one piece and are now focusing on the next bunch of shows on the horizon. One in particular that is very exciting is Parklife! Definately one of our favourite days of the year, and it’s looking even better this year for us now that the venue has moved to the Gold Coast. The lineup is absolutely ridic, and we will be putting together a new 4 turntable & MPC set for the day. Looking forward to wamping out in the sunshine!! Boomshalakalaka!!

Hello friends. We are hitting the road once again tomorrow, feels like i just finished unpacking my bag and now im packing it again! Anyways, we have some awesome parties coming up. If you’re in Sydney you should come check these out…

First up is Dust Tones. If you havent been to a Dust Tones party before, its a weekly night at Beach Rd Hotel, Bondi. Its geared toward the Hip Hop, Dancehall, Dubstep end of things. We played one a while back and it was a ridiculously good night.

We will be running 4 decks and the MPC, and have prepared a whole bunch of new routines and tricks for the night. Its going to be a killer night and best of all its free!! We will be on from 10pm till midnight.

And then afterwards we will be racing over to play a set at Purple Sneakers. This will be more of an indie/party set and will no doubt be an extremely loose party, considering that PhDJ and Joyride are on the bill. Come get even sweatier than you could imagine with us! Hopefully this time nobody will break two mixers by spilling Jager on them… Im looking at YOU, PhDJ!

Hey friends! Got plans for this saturday? Cancel them and come to our night at Neverland! This is the second edition of our monthly party. The last one was an absolute world-ender! If you weren’t there or if you missed the photos, it’s just a straight up party. We will have the box of dress-ups again, and our mascot ‘Snatchy’ will be making another appearance. Oh and we’ve got a bunch of new tunes and cannot wait to party with our home-town people! See you there!!!

Oh and here’s a photo from last time that sums up the feel of the night…

…..And then on Friday night we will be playing an indie/party set at Purple Sneakers. We will also be trying to dodge PhDJ’s Jager-pistol, and shake-raping our boy M.I.T.  ..Needless to say, it’s gonna be loose.

Whattup, Melbournian friends! We are making the trek down to your beautiful city to cause some headaches. Come catch us on Thursday night when we play the Hang Time club night at Eurotrash. I’ve heard nothing but awesome things about this weekly night, and have really been looking forward to getting down there and shakin shit down! Its gonna be straight-up chaos. No half-stepping allowed!

Ps How awesome is their poster artwork!!
