Hi guys,

Just a heads up for a night I'm playing at later this month featuring Adelaide's very own DJ Phat Controller, before he heads off to Sydney and Melbourne for the next leg of the tour.

Me personally, will be playing what I normally do at echo, so expect some nice prog trance flavoured with tech influences!

Here's the official press release for you to peruse at your own leisure...

‘HIGH in PHAT’
DJ PHAT CONTROLLER LIVE Australian Tour ‘06


Starting out from humble 'Pub' gigs, PHAT CONTROLLERS uncompromising passion for 'Stand and Deliver' DJ’ing, has taken him to 'Main Stage' events across the country.
PHAT CONTROLLER delivers tough beats in an emotionally charged set of the latest Hard Trance from around the globe and in an Australian first; incorporates a live percussion injection of Tribal Beats to accentuate the layers of rhythm and sound.

The power and energy PHAT CONTROLLER previously used from behind the Drum Kit is now set to explode beyond the DJ console. The infusion of ‘LIVE’ beats and today’s electronica captivate and stir the surrounding environment to a new level of appreciation for Dance Music!

The end result is a spine tingling deluge of sounds to alert the senses.

Experience the power of PHAT CONTROLLER in a surrounding that can only be described as Pure Class…

The Winstons Bar, 192 Pirie Street in the City.


Phat beats kick off at 10pm until very late with special support from DJ’s Brendon, Rocket and Matt Parker (aka Logik)

FREE ENTRY all night plus Happy Hours 10-11 and 1-2 with outstanding drink specials including, Base Spirits $3 Coopers Schooners $2 Wine and Bubbly $3.

I'm guessing that this is gonna be held at the Winstons Bar??

I don't think i'll go, only due to the fact that I've worked at the Winstons Bar before and don't think too much of the guys that run the joint. I didn't quit with a very positive view on the staff there, and made it well known to them. Then I got em in shit with my agency for trying to employ promo girls 016_lol.gif

But for you Aaron...I may consider (if Casey comes with me after work) 006_grin.gif

Good on you. Not enough people (young girls in particular) speak up about that sort of stuff. Ya can't hire promo girls thru a promo agency as a cheap, lazy way of seeking out girls for employment.

Put an ad in the advertiser you cheap lazy bastards! (not directed at the staff at winston's bar, I've never heard of the place. Just a general comment)

You think I'm gone
But when you wake
There'll be no light
I am the darkness
In your dreams at night
There's no Escape

Have you ever heard the sound, With your head in the ground, And you are affraid to say, animal go away.
That's the sound of your brain crackin'

turned out to be a decent night, phatt controllers set was awesome and it was good to see the ravers (all 8 or so of us) cutting it fine on the dance floor. all the regulars could do was stand back, as we showed them how it was done 001_smile.gif
