Starstruck 2

jetpilot — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 06:39:41 +0000

My next gig is an outdoor one in Wellington – come along! It’s another Wellington Dance Collective event and partly a fund raiser for the Pink Moa camp I was part of at Kiwiburn. The WDC was gracious enough to let the Pink Moa use their gear. Thanks WDC!

Held at secret location (check here on the day for site and directions), 1st March from 10pm, with Jetpilot, Helix, Rich D Rich, fiDJit and a guest DJ. $10 at the gate.

Summer Solstice

jetpilot — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:36:54 +0000

Summer solstice was fun times. Here’s a track list for those curious (there were a few people asking me about the tracks I played…). I got quite housey and progressive after a grungey electro start. Here’s a picture of me doing the moonwalk and pulling attractive faces:

KiwiBurn 2008

jetpilot — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 09:11:44 +0000

The first tier of KiwiBurn 2008 tickets went on sale several weeks ago. I only just realised I don’t have mine yet, so if you want to come to the New Zealand Burning Man regional event you should buy now and save yourself some cash!

I went this year and had a rocking time. This might have been partly because it was my first live gig, so it’ll always hold a special place in my heart

Get your tickets here!

Weird Pscience in review

jetpilot — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 08:24:35 +0000

Weird Pscience was yet another very special event put on by the Wellington Dance Collective and organised by the fantastic Wendy.

I played my set, and mixed genres up quite a lot. There was tech-house, electro, indie, and grungey distorted beats. The winning track, or the one that people made the most comments about was Hi Tack’s Let’s Dance:

Hi Tack – Let’s Dance (Radio edit) [ buy ]

Cosm entertained the crowd as he always does, and there were flasks full of coloured liquid and dry ice bubbling out of them. I can’t remember exactly what he played, but here is one of his latest tracks:

The Sluzziest of Fuzz [ praise be, it's free! ]

If you like it, go here and vote for it under RDU song of the year.

Zombie DJ AKA Helix played a really good psy-trance set, despite being sleep deprived.

A giant MDMA molecule hung from the ceiling and blessed us with happiness. The awesome thing about this is that a real chemist arranged for this and several other interesting molecules to be made.

Wendy, the head-honcho organiser, showing us how hooping is done with her psi-hoop.

So belated review, but it was an excellent gig. I fully recommend you try to attend a Wellington Dance Collective event if you get the chance! It’s all about the atmosphere (and music of course), and you’ll not find better.

Spring Equinox

jetpilot — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 08:30:44 +0000

Last weekend I went out to Bullock Creek in North Canterbury for Massive Production’s Spring Equinox outdoor dance party. I had fun dancing around, weather was good until about 2am when it started spitting, but it wasn’t unbearable, just resulted in some muddy pants.

I took video of both Tobiaz and Cosm playing:

Cosm and some mixes
Tobiaz and his Nitrate mix

Sorry for the darkness and less then great sound. I really should get a proper vid cam instead of using my ancient digital camera…

Today I just finished a new mix for submission to the Canaan Downs Festival over New Years Eve. Up round Nelson way. I haven’t been to a NYE festival before, despite wanting to for years, so I’m really looking forward to this. Hopefully the organisers will like my mix too, and extend an invitation my way.

Mixtape Sessions video

jetpilot — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 01:34:55 +0000

So I decided to record a bit of the Mixtapes Sessions show from 13th September:

A couple of the mixes were not so good, I blame space monkeys.
