Deckhead 2.0

The busiest men on Sweat It Out are back again! Act Yo Age have just dropped their fourth EP since the labels inception. Besides their own EPs that have been released they have also remixed such names as Malente, Larry Tee & Top Billin and have been featured on a shitload of various compilation CDs. Since the early days the guys style has evolved from the early baltimore inspired party jams, to a more tropical / party styles tech that has been taking the world by storm.

Not resting on their laurels the boys have already started working on two new tracks for a brand spanking new ep. Pablo Calamari (one half) has already released two individual EPs through Sweat It Out his debut I Bought My Wife On The Black Market and more recently the amazing disco house inspired Think About You EP.

Here is what Sweat It Out’s head honcho Ajax said about AYA’s latest release;

Act Yo Ages’ Song For Nona has been the most difficult track to blurb! Its like some molecular gastronomy fine dining thing, you know it tastes great but you are not really sure of the ingredients, nor which way to eat it. In a way its like a newly (de) constructed prawn cocktail, vaguely reminiscent of the 50s, 60’s but with a whole new flavour. Sure its deepish, but its swamped up conga – funk gone mad slicked down in brill creme in a tux! Smooth and creamy it can really only be described as crooner tech! Yes its been getting props from Renaissance Man and Sinden, who know how to do the ocean liner boogaloo! We are brilled up in the pants too, with Savage Skulls, The Bulgarian and Franki Chan getting in on the remix action!

So there it is, Act Yo Age’s fourth Studio EP! Today I have the original track for you plus a Savage Skulls remix, you should go support the release on Beatport and stay tuned for more Sweat It Out release’s.

If you are a Sydneysider you can catch the boys supporting Kingdom at United Colours on May 1st at THE BLACK BOATER (16 Wentworth Ave). [I will be doing a post on Saturday to talk about this party more]

If your a fan of this emerging genre or want to explore it more I highly recommend it, head over to moshtix to reserve your place.

When people think of Australian djs and producers people mainly think of cities on the East Coast, mainly Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane. There is one place which in recent times is starting to pull their act together and are slowly showing their worth, this place is (r)Adelaide. In the recent inthemix top 50 djs in Australia they had two entrants being Loot & Plunder as well as Def Starr, both are renowned throughout Adelaide for their live shows, amazing mixtapes and production work.

Adelaide also have one of the craziest Thursday night parties in the country called 8 Bit Kidz. Last Thursday the people behind the weekly Suprise! party at Moulin flew in Chris Spiers who is a resident at this party, as well as One Love Saturdays in Adelaide and he absolutely blew me away. His set was perfect for a Thursday party, a great mixture of crunk, mash ups, cheese and electro, he had the small crowd working up a sweat. I heard a few of his mash ups and decided that I needed to have them for my sets, and he was kind enough to share them with me to share with you guys. Keep up to date with his myspace for all his dates and latest tracks. www.myspace.com/djchrisspiers

Bonus round: On Deckhead 2.0 we haven’t heard much from fan favorite Benson, back on the old blog he would often supply us with some amazing remixes, including Dancin’ In the Moonlight, Ride Wit Me by Nelly and Everybody Get Up by 5ive to name a few. In recent times he has been busy working on official remixes for various artists and labels with his side project Brain Matters with Northie. Well here is a treat for you, he has remixed a track which was one of the main influences for me getting into electronic music!
