From a rave circa 1998
I was going through a box filled with old rave flyers from when I was a kid and I found this little gem! A two sided rant about the state of the electronic dance music scene 14 years ago.

Australian Tour Week 4 & Final May Giveaway
What a weekend, it all started last Wednesday at the launch party for The Dip (which you definitely should check out) after which I did a throwback hip hop set at The Flinders with my man Kato. Fun was had by all and lots of drinking definitely set the tone for the rest of the weekend.
Thursday I hit Onefiveone in Wollongong. I had no idea what to expect but it ended up being completely mental....
Australian Tour Week 3
This past Saturday saw the final show of the amazing Groovin the Moo festival tour. Every show sold completely out and each city was just as amazing as the next! Thanks to everyone who came out and rocked with us, it was a great experience.
Friday I played in Perth at Villa with my London-based buddy Mumdance. What an incredible night! Big up to Boomtick for being one of the best promoters...
Australian Tour Week 2
Weekend 2 of the tour was pretty much perfect. I love this country. Here’s a rundown.
Thursday night I returned to Adelaide to play a party called Almost Famous at Apple Bar. The club was packed and the drinks were flowing pretty endlessly resulting in an incredible fun and messy night! Check some photos here!
Next up was Maitland continuing the Groovin the Moo tour and I...

Canada weekend!
Last weekend I played 3 shows in Ontario, Canada. Guelph, Ottawa, and Toronto were all incredible nights. I absolutely love Canada, my maple syrup producing neighbor to the north. Thanks to everyone who came and made it so fun!
Check out this video from Ottawa:
Boys Noize - "Yeah" (AC Slater Bootleg Remix) Free...
One of my favorite tracks from 2010 was “Yeah” by the unstoppable Boys Noize. Such an epic and amazing track that I don’t think could be topped, but I needed a little more sub bass in it for my DJ sets so I did a little edit with a massive 808 kick drum and some more shuffly percussion.
You can check out my remix here for free.
And you can pick up the original version of...

Favorites of 2010
I’m a music lover but by no means would I call myself a music connoisseur. I’m so deeply ingrained in the dance music and DJ world, I’m often late on new bands and LPs. On top of that I’m not like John Cusack in High Fidelity - the type to make “Best Of” lists, as my brain doesn’t sort things that way. That said, here are five albums that I had in...

Video from Toronto
I played in Toronto last weekend with Crookers, L-Vis 1990 and Zed’s Dead. Double Standard Films put together a really exciting video from the night.
Right Now
During the first half of 2010 I was working on a new side project that ended up becoming a bit of an obsession. I teamed up with Atlanta based rapper Dell “o8o” Harris who used to be in the group T-Katz, with me making the music and he providing the voice and lyrics. Over 6 months between my DJ touring we ended up writing a whole album’s worth of material under the name AC &...

Calm Down Trilogy
Nearly 2 years ago I wrote a track called “Calm Down” with total joke recordings of my friend Udachi and myself talking nonsense. We put it on our Trouble & Bass Scion compilation and it ended up being really popular so I decided to make a follow up called Calm Down Part 2. The demand for its release was to high to ignore so I figured why not make it a trilogy and do Part 3. I...

AC Slater Australian Interview
When the Parklife 2010 Line up was announced, his name stood out for myself and many others. He may be the reason why you are even going to Parklife. The funky bass lines will be sure to have us all grooving down the Gold Coast. If you haven’t heard of AC Slater in the last 24 months you’ve been living under a rock!
