Updated Thursday 7th Decemeber, 2006
Where the frick did December come from?!? Stay tuned as we gently (completely?) rework this site for summer 2006 / 2007.
Nut shell - updates to Myspace, a new gallery (just need to scan / upload all those photos) my blog and more. Giant summer ahead - some regular shows, some special shows and some just plain HUGE shows.
Sapphire has been nothing short of completely rammed every Saturday and my recent slot at Cottesloe was a slammer. Oh yeah - Wei-Shen is bacl with more electro-booty house at Sapphire this Saturday. And I might just take it easy this NYE (I seem to have worked every one for the last 10 years!) and prepare for the mother of all after parties on January 1st. Then again there might be a secret invite only show on NYE - we'll see. Plus there's another belter planned for Geisha in January and talks of some mighty big festival support slots. Summers here and I've a sack of sublime house slammers!
More updates shortly team...
February 2006
Having a great technical catch-up day after a blissful 7 hours sleep! :
- Am now a contributor for local street press Base.Ad writing for the genre page House WorX. I'll be hassling all you DJs soon for interviews and the like. Don't forget to check out their radio station Base.FM on 107.9 (Perth)
- Spent 3 days at Club Capricorn for the annual staff party - wickedly silly fun. Sunburn for everybody!
- Wei-Shen Mak is visiting Perth and we've locked him in for a set at Sapphire
- Confirmed us hosting the official TwoTribes after party - get ready for a belter
- We say Bass Voyagé (kinda like Bon Voyage) to fellow DJ Max Landy on March 11th as he readies himself to depart our shores
- Some major developments in the pipeline for expanding our empire (*bwhahahahahaha*)
- DigiDesign officially suck in my book. Upgraded to OS X "Tiger" to discover ProTools LE 6.4 (mBox) no longer works. And the stand alone CoreAudio driver bombs every time. Grrrrr...
Older news...
- Looks like ARIA is running me as the "DJ" of the week - sweet!
- Plenty of updates to the Sapphire website and photo gallery including a look at life in the DJ booth
- Some people / promoters are printing my name wrong. Please list it as Anton Lord not DJ Anton.
- Some promotional agencies / record labels STILL have my old address in their database. Please drop me an e-mail and I'll send you the new address [I'd prefer not to list it here]
- I'm still chasing after a Yamaha 01V for the studio (which continues to get upgrades slowly)
- Stay tuned for another big Sunday @ Geisha on the Queens Birthday long weekend (Sunday)
- Adam Kelly & I have had to part ways with GrooveFM - we were just not getting the support we needed. The upside is we get more time for our own production projects. Our old shows might be made available if demand is high enough.
- Been playing the odd guest set with Max Landy at BaseFM. Check it (and the chat room is always fun).
- Working on a remix (hopefully as part of a forthcoming nationwide promo release package) with Joby. Must really spend more time on that!
- Nicolas Vautier and his partner Rachel are dropping in this week to lay down some vocals for their own track. Nico has just been signed to Prog City - well done!
Cheers, Anton.
