GYFO SUMMER UPDATE

.
Spent last weekend streaming Subsonic music festival up on the New South Wales coast with the OnlineClubber cats and was left with a great impression of the local EDM scene.
Big love for Kid Kodiak, Timmus and A Guy Called Gerald, I will be watching these guys a little more closely from now on.
On the international side, Max Cooper blew my fuc%ing mind and Anna Leevia laid down some really sweet deep house during her 8am – 10am set that has inspired me in a few ways. The crowd was diverse enough to keep me entertained during the times I just could not dance anymore. Mark this bad boy in your calendars or diary’s for next year….. 7th/8th/9th December 2012.

The GYFO show is still alive at Onlineclubber.com from 9-11pm (GMT + 10) Fridays.

STEPH… YEAH?

“Born Stephan Brosnan in St Kilda, Melbourne, music featured heavily in Steph’s childhood with his father playing lead guitar for Australian music icon’s Paul Kelly and Ian Rilen who were great family friends and often shared babysitting duties during which he and the other “80′s Rock and Roll babies” would keep each other company during jam sessions that subconsciously influenced his musical tastes from an early age.

Steph Yeah first started “DJ’ing” back in 2004 after a stint producing Trip Hop in Melbourne with good friend and local St Kilda artist Heinz Simpson got the creative (musical) juices flowing.

Finding that he enjoyed the technicality of the production side of things a little more than just spinning CD’s or Vinyl, Steph moved towards digital DJ software very early on and has now perfected his setup so as to bring the best of both live performance, production and DJ’ing into one dynamic “anything goes” approach to his live sets.

He has a varied portfolio of international venues he has played at, including Amsterdam’s BC12, Winston Kingdom, Het Schuim and Korsakoff. In the UK he has hit the decks at Belushi’s in Brighton and in Melbourne he has performed at The Lounge, Base, Piccolo Bar, The Loft and Sousoul. Steph likes to use a mixture of loops and samples from many different artists and genre’s in his (and his alter ego “Edburg”) sets, he takes inspiration from such musical heavyweights as Kraftwerk, Underworld and Richie Hawtin. Steph aspires to take his DJ’ing all over the world and is working on a new live set up involving vocals and live keys.

Now working out of the creative heartbeat of Prarhran that is Rival Revolution Studios, SYEAH can quite often be found going back to back with Royce Watson and Craig James, as well as Matt Tako, Jimi Who, Bastiann V and Alexon Ramoss. Steph hosts “The GYFO Show” on www.onlineclubber.com on a Friday night from 9-11pm (GMT+10)…he and Royce are sure to get your weekend warmed up for you!”

The goodness that is Edburg

Edburg

Edburg

 

 

 

At his birth, Edburg’s mother was reputedly frightened that her infant’s mind was so large and oddly formatted. Though the size of his mind appeared to be less remarkable as he grew older, it’s evident from photographs of Edburg that his mind has been proportionately large for his world throughout his existence, a trait regarded as “non conformist” in large-minded individuals with no related disease or cognitive deficits.

 

Another more relative aspect of Edburg’s childhood is the fact that he danced much later than the average child. Edburg claims that he did not begin dancing until the age of three and only did so hesitantly, even beyond the age of nine. Because of Edburg’s late dance development and his later childhood tendency to ignore any music in school that bored him — instead focusing intensely only on what interested him — some observers at the time suggested that he might be “retarded,” such as one of the Edburg’s neighbours. This latter observation was not the only time in his life that controversial labels and pathology would be applied to Edburg.

 

 

Edburg is many things…..

Tennis is not one of them!
