Edit (2/07/10)- The new art for facebook is up! Check out www.listn.to/djbricksta to have a peek. All the content is coming together nicely too. A post to follow on what’s on the new site in the coming weeks!
It’s time to make it official!
In Mid August I am heading to Europe, and I honestly don’t know when I will be back, though I am guessing it will be sometime in December.
2010 so far has been nothing short of phenomenal for me. I started the year with a residency at Academy which has allowed me to do a variety of gigs including headlining at the club twice and supporting some of my heroes in dance music. I also got to play at Warehouse and I can’t thank local promoters Kicks enough for the hard work they have put in to enable these opportunities for me.
Kicks however, are not the only people who have been a great source of encouragement, inspiration and for the most part, a big help getting the word out there (whether past or present). Big thanks to Dale Baldwin, Mark Lightfoot, Duncan & Chris @ Party By Jake, Max Smart @ Groove City, Deckhead, Keep/Real, Pretension, Kultrun, Chowderhawk, Peking Duk, Ryz @ Biscuits Crew, Amplidyne, DCDJ, Jim Medcraft, Shifty Business (BEST act in Canberra), Tim Galvin (for the bio!), Karton, Lachlan Nicholas, Ben Colin, Team_Wing, Staky, Sean Kelly, Offtapia and Jared Calnan.
The biggest thankyou must go to everyone who has been reading the blog, and the energy punters have been giving when I have been playing across Canberra. It’s been beyond fun, some nights this year I don’t think I’ll ever forget.
Production wise this year has been a step up like no other, with a heap of music coming your way soon. Before I go, my extremely short 3 track EP as Collar will be released through this blog. Whilst I am away a EP as The Sneak will be released and I will also be releasing a few DJ Mixes along the way.
My tracks Streets of London, M.H.I.A and my James Brown Bootleg got some blog attention, and I was lucky to have my release from last year, The Death Of Luke EP, featured on Mashable. It was amazing to continue to get positive feedback for that release almost 12 months after I put it out on my BandCamp page, many thanks to all who took the time to get in touch.
Obviously, when I leave is still a while away so this post will eventually be updated and a load of content will be up the day I leave. I’ll hopefully be working with a few people oversea’s on some tunes so hopefully they will come up as they are completed over there. There’s a few special things happening before I go so keep coming back for details of those next month.
