WAREHOUSE PARTY: Picnic One Night Stand ft CANYONS! July 14th!

by

PICNIC PRESENTS ONE NIGHT STAND FEAT. CANYONS

SATURDAY 14TH JULY
BYO WAREHOUSE LOCATION TBA
ADDRESS RELEASED THROUGH PICNICSTUFF.COM.AU
TICKETS $20 PRESALE THROUGH RESIDENT ADVISOR

Well we invited Simon Caldwell back for a second appearance at One Night Stand because he was so bloody exceptional the first time around, and we couldn’t resist doing the very same with Canyons after they utterly blew our minds at the warehouse last year. Quite seriously, it was one of the most amazing things we’ve ever witnessed.

In the time since then, the lads have dropped their stunning debut album, ‘Keep Your Dreams’, which the world received with open arms. They performed as a killer live act for the first time too, as if their musical credibility wasn’t high enough already. But although they’ve taken the live show on tour and delighted thousands (perhaps millions, or even billions!), back at the warehouse they’ll be doing what they’ve been doing so bloody well for years: exposing us to some ridiculous, impossible, magnificent records. They’re a truly unique force behind the decks and we’re pretty stoked to be having them back for an ALL NIGHT WOODSTOCK JAM.

Yes, the theme for this one is Woodstock. Come be carefree love-loving hippies with us and psych out to some mind melting music. We’re all one big happy dirty smokey family – minus the mud!

So this is how it happens: Canyons play from the moment the gates open (10pm) until the very end (??am) at a wonderful warehouse location which will be disclosed close to the party. It’s BYO, and you can snap up cheap presale tickets from Resident Advisor:

NYC DISCO, HOUSE EVENT: JOHN MORALES, Phil Toke, Gian Arpino, Alex Dimitriadis + Soul of Sydney DJ’s

by

Soul Of Sydney and Our House Sydney are blessed to present one of the legends (not used lightly) of New York Disco and an early pioneer of dance music production, remixing and DJ‘ing – John Morales.

John has been involved in the creation of hit DISCO records for the better part of 30 years with over 500 songs on his own, and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). Known in the industry as an innovator and chance taker, John has always welcomed the challenge of working with new artists and can lay claim to being one of the originators of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.

Having worked, remixed or edited everyone from Marvin Gaye, Inner Life, Jocelyn Brown, Fantastic Aleems, Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin, Evelyn Thomas, Fantastic Aleems, Brass Construction, War, Candi Staton, Loletta Holloway, First Choice, Salsoul Orchestra & Double Exposure just to name a few, expect John to give a FUNK & DISCO lesson covering 30+ years of the sound that shaped music as we know it today.

Local supports include Gian Arpino, Phil Toke, Alex Dimitriades, Phil Hudson & Soul of Sydney DJ’s

Special limited $15 presale tickets are available via email from either soulofsydney@gmail.com or ourhouse_sydney@optusnet.com.au. Also check out www.soulofsydney.org/blockparty for more ticket info.

JOHN MORALES

In 1975 while working as a DJ in local Bronx club, John Morales realised that he wanted to lengthen the duration of some of his records. Back then the duration of most records was 3 to 4 minutes, so by using his TEAC 71/2 and a box of razor blades, John started splicing tape for endless hours and became one the first DJ’s to create the ‘extended mix’ (or ‘remix’ in it’s original form). In doing so, he realised that he could achieve a similar outcome by cutting, slicing and taping parts from different recordings. This formed the basis for his acclaimed (deadly) medleys. John says “I can still see the 100’s of edits zoom by every-time I play the tape”. John Morales started to release some of his reel to reel edits, medleys and remixes to Acetate via the Sunshine Sound (a NYC studio where DJ’s could bring their reel to reel tapes and have acetate copies cut one at a time), so that he could play these tracks at clubs. Greg Carmichael gave him his first mixing job after hearing some of his Sunshine Acetate mixes and these first two official mixes made him famous: ‘Dance and Shake Your Tambourine‘ by ‘The Universal Robot Band‘ and the classic ‘I’m Caught Up” by Inner Life. However some of his early mixes and edits, even those officially released, were and remain uncredited and so might not appear in his discography! John has worked for numerous acts and has been involved in the creation of over 500 songs – both on his own and as part of John Morales & Sergio Munzibai (M & M Productions). John Morales can lay claim to being one of the most important figures in the creation of the extended mix, remix and re-edit concept.
