Club Connoisseurs: Playlist Mon 8 Oct

Every Monday evening here in Auckland at Chapel Bar & Bistro, a handful of keen vinyl enthusiasts gather to share a corner of their record collections. It's called Club Connoisseurs, and it's been a labour of love for those involved; but not without real reward. Some of the DJs involved really mix up the styles and genres, so it can go in most any direction.

I played an all 7"s set tonight, and being that I kept the records in order after playing them, I thought I'd throw the setlist up here. What is a blog for if not shameless self-promotion and rampant egoism? Good, glad we're in agreement there. Here are the records.

'In The Pocket' with 90 & Jay "Fat Albert" Jeffrey (Pt. 3) aka "The Strictly 7" Vinyl Show"

It's always a pleasure (never a pressure) to welcome Jay "Fat Albert" Jeffrey into the studio - and never more so than when we lay down an all-7" vinyl selection, as we did at the end of July. You can listen back to the show here and peruse the playlist here. Enjoy. We certainly did.

Nice one...

Playlist: George FM 'All 45s Drive' Tue 3 Jan

There's been a little interest in the "All 45s" Drive Show from Tuesday evening on George FM, with a few folks asking if I could post a playlist up. Well, as it so happens... yes, I can. The afternoon developed into quite the epic when the following DJ cancelled at the last minute, meaning my 3hr Drive Show turned into a full-on 5hr extravaganza - of nothing but 7" vinyl records. No CDs. No USBs. No Serato. Not even any LPs or 12"s. Only 7" vinyl. For 5hrs. And I loved every minute of it...
