28.Feb.2010 ay caramba launch
AY CARAMBA MY HANGOVER IS GONE! a gigantic thanks to everyone that came down to the mercat & showed strong support for the launch of ay caramba on friday night! it was a success & everyone was looking like they had a good time.
our YOUNG GUN, cold youth, was super with his opening set for the night, very impressed & proud of our first young gun! swick was on next, pumping out banging tunes & getting the crowd up & dancing followed by our headliners congo tardis, who were great in their 2 hour set, pumping out tropical tunes & dancing with inflatable palm trees & beach balls, whilst they set off airhorns & whistle sounds to hype the crowd. mat cant sealed the deal with a set filled with tropical beats & a dash of hip hop & 90s flavour (he dropped vengaboys – ‘we like to party’ & mr president’s ‘coco jamboo’!)
our amazing photographer simon king captured happy snaps for the night too, will upload very soon!

23.Feb.2010 Congo Tardis #1 presents Edits #1
We are so excited to have the one and only Congo Tardis #1 as our very first headline act at the launch on Friday, and to make the night even more special Congo Tardis have gone and dropped there debut compilation CD “Edits #1″ with support from Northside Records and ourselves, Ay Caramba!
The proud presenters of tropical club music, Congo Tardis #1 crew digs into the their record collections and produces some clean, healthy and uplifting jams on this compilation to finish off the Melbourne summer with a bang.
A favorite dancehall riddem from CT#1 gets a big refix from Ms Butt, and in the process claiming it as an Aussie anthem. Lewis CanCut explores a congo disco great from the crates, and whips up a dubby disco jam of niceness. The Pharoah adds a little cut, duplicate and paste to an Ivory Coast / French jammer, aptly named Paris Tropical.
The big bonus comes from long time Congo Tardis friend Harmon, who drops a unique world edit (but is actually an original composition). Somewhere between afro beat and disco, inspired by a session at Revolver DJing between Ms Butt and Paz.
Northside Records is our affiliate for the hard copy CD version. NR is Melbourne’s staple for finding the rarities that don’t find their way onto beatport. Ask the guys for a promo copy.
We are helping CT#1 launch there product on at the launch night of Ay Caramba! on Friday 26th of February. Free versions of the CD are available to the first 20 people of the Congo Tardis conga line. Participation is a must. For those who are happy with a 320 MP3 check out the links via the CT#1 soundcloud page or right here.

18.Feb.2010 M.I.A has come back with power, POWER!
so if you didn’t already know, maya arulpragagasm (or better known to the world as M.I.A) found love, popped out a super-adorable baby & was out of the music spotlight for a short while.)
now, she’s back & she’s teamed up with two of the biggest names in the electronic music scene today, diplo & switch (also known as the insanely awesome major lazer) & a legend in the dancehall scene, (& one of my personal favourites) busy signal.
the track is called sound of siren which has an epic sound & “that pon de floor” snare, it’s a great tune & well worth a listen. if this is a taste of where M.I.A’s going i am intrigued for her album.
go listen & comments are more than welcome!

06.Feb.2010 larrie’s birthday!
so i figured now that we’ve got a blog up for the new night, i could dabble in a bit of shameless promoting (i guess you could say.)
i’m turning 24 (ugh cue the violins) BUT instead of sitting at home crying at how old i’m getting, i’m killing two birds with one stone & throwing myself a party on the launch night of AY CARAMBA! at the mercat downstairs.
check this nifty little flyer mat made up for me ( being the avid major lazer/mad decent/diplo fan i am)
