SWEATY DAYZE

SUMMADAYZE ft The Chemical Brothers/ M.I.A/ Mark Ronson/ Fedde Le Grand and more
Paterson Stadium
Sunday, January 6, 2013

Given the baking hot day that was last Sunday, it was a blessing in disguise that crowd numbers weren’t huge at Summadayze as the last thing a sweaty body needed was rubbing up against another sweaty body. It also meant the chances of dehydration were kept to a minimum as bar queues... well, they didn’t really exist. It took a while to understand the layout of the festival given the movement of the event from Claremont Showground to Paterson Stadium in Subiaco and there was a sense of organised chaos as party revellers shuffled about inside the stadium trying to make sense of where each stage was located. The main stage, located on the stadium ground itself, drew the biggest crowd all day.

BOUNDARIES

WASO ft Paul Daniel/ DJ Zeke/ Andrew Nicholson
The Astor
Saturday, August 18, 2012

Boundaries is a very ‘new music’ kind of a word. Pushing boundaries is basically the job description for new music. Every work on the program for WASO’s Boundary concert, held at The Astor, is an Australian premier and though no piece was especially boundary pushing in the avant-garde sense, the program did an excellent job of introducing new music without alienating WASO’s core audience.

PUMPING PARK BEATS


Parklife ft Plan B/ Robyn/ The Presets/ Hermitude/ Chiddy Bang and more

Monday, October 1, 2012
Wellington Square

Anyone wandering the Perth streets around lunch time on Monday would have surely encountered countless shirtless dudes, random girls sobbing on the side of the road, crazy kids in full morph-suits, and possibly even a man carrying around his pet wooden duck - the Parklife punters were out in all their glory, and boy was it a great day for it.

GLITCH-RICH BEATS

JON WAYNE/ MONO POLY/ Maxwell Starks/ James Ireland/ {Move} DJs

Mojos
Saturday, August 11, 2012

It was a real treat for two seriously awesome artists from two really cool records labels to do a show together in Perth. The venue was a deviation from the usual space these type of electronic artists might find themselves when doing a Perth show but Mojos made a cozy fit for last Saturday night’s highly anticipated show.
