More Dept. Remixes For Free Download
Step into the PhDJ corner as he keeps us up to date with what's new and what's news......
OK, so my Dept. partner in crime Black Anthony and I have been working on the Walter Meego track called 'Forever' and we weren't sure whether to go for a downtempo smacky remix or to go upbeat and party. So we did both.
Last week you heard 'Forever Dept. 6am Mix'. This week prepare to hear the 'Dept. 2am Mix'. It's way more party!! It's currently in my Myspace music player but you can also download it from the 'Downloads' section of www.myspace.com/welovephdj which is just below the music player.
I've also put up the Dept. remixes of Sparkadia's 'Too Much To Do' and the Dukes of Windsor track 'It's A War'. You can download them all from there. And keep a lookout for a remix of Yacht and Pop Levi coming your way soon.
I played at Floorspace last Saturday and it was mega fun!! I'm playing again this Saturday at Kings Cross Hotel. I have been known to melt faces at times, so best to come prepared wearing a welding mask. Don't say I didn't warn you!!!
Have fun, play safe!!!

New PhDJ + Dept. Remixes Available For Free Dowload
PhDJ has been running around like a madnut, getting up to much mayhem, ever since his return from conquering the UK. He dropped us a line today from the studio to fill us in on what he's actually been up to....
Hey punks. Sorry I haven't had a chance to post any blogs for a while. I still have to tell you all about Japan and Fuji Rock Festival and give you a wrap of the UK trip. Since I got back to Australia I have been busy making music. Black Anthony and I have a studio together and we have been holed up making DEPT. remixes of cool international acts like YACHT and WALTER MEEGO. Go to the download section of my Myspace www.myspace.com/welovephdj to get a copy of the DEPT. '6am' mix of WALTER MEEGO's track 'Forever'. WALTER MEEGO are a US act and they recently toured the USA with The Presets.
I've also posted up a couple of my own mashups as well. One is a classic I did a while back which features ‘New Noise' by REFUSED mashed with ‘Bootylicious' by DESTINY'S CHILD. This one's been a favourite and for ages I've had dudes (yes, mainly dudes) hassling me for a copy of it so I figured I'd post it up. And there's also a new one which is a remash (somewhere between a remix and a mash up) of Bluejuice's Vitriol vox and cut up organ line, with the bass line from the MSTRKRFT remix of The Metric's 'I Fought The War', plus loads of my own beats in there. Enjoy!!!
Lots of Love, PhDJ
Oh and PS: I'm playing at the launch of Boundary Sounds' new club night Floorspace at the newly renovated Kings Cross Hotel. The place is awesome. There are heaps of levels and the club is on levels 3 and 4. It's gritty guitars downstairs and party jams upstairs. Theres even lasers and a smoke machine in the lift. No shit!! I'm gonna be one of the residents in the party jams room so you get to see me get all dancey on yo ass!!! Plus my mates E.L.F, Johnny Rad, Bad Ezzy, Vivienne Kingswood, 2onajoyride and loads more are playing!!!

in the UK at the moment.
The past couple of weeks he has been touring around with SPARKADIA and they have amongst others hit Glastonbury and O2 Wireless festivals where they have rubbed shoulders with HOT CHIP, IAN BROWN and BORIS BECKER.

Free DJ AM Party at Club 77 Next Tues 3rd June
PhDJ & Kato Present DJ AM at Club 77.... and it's FREE!
Los Angeles-based superstar DJ to the Superstars DJ AM (you know, the guy who was engaged to Nicole Ritchie, dated Mandy Moore, owns a little club called LAX) is in town for a social visit and he wanted a party. So who did he ask to throw a party for him and his hombres?? Two of Sydney's most notorious party-throwers of course - the compadres of party PhDJ and Kato.
Kato and PhDJ have invited some of their best buddies to man and woman the decks as warm up to the Sneaker Freaker DJ AM himself (did you know that he owns over 600 pairs of Nikes?? You do now!!). Club 77 on Tuesday June 3 will see DJ AM, Kato, PhDJ, Tha Fizz, Sleater Brockman, Vivienne Kingswood and Bad Ezzy hit the decks at Club 77 for a free. Yeah man, we said FREE! This will be the hipster party to end all hipster parties!!! Come on, there's nothing on Tuesdays, so if this mofo isn't packed then PhDJ will actually eat his original 1993 Chicago Bulls cap!

PhDJ On The Road Again...
The touring & partying continues...
PhDJ is out and about touring again this week. On Thursday he is playing at Canberra's newest indie club called ‘Cooler Than Carnaby', which is at PJ O'Reilly's in the city. Then on Friday he joins his buddies from bluejuice and The Paper Scissors on stage at Transit Bar in Canberra as well. Then the following morning they all get on that smelly tour bus and drive to Melbourne to play at the East Brunswick Club and after that they hit the official after-party where PhDJ will be spinning and grinning at Weekender at Ding Dong Lounge.
Phew! Got all that?
