Re: .AUdio on Proton: JAMES ZABIELA (Sept 16)

Thought I'd dish out a few of the quotes from the aftermath of the party JZ's set is from:

Wow. That set was top notch. How tight was his mixing and scratching - amazing to watch. Great.

a brilliant night.

that was by far the best set i've ever seen.... period

twas an awesome night, my legs are still trying to recover

he is the goods.

it was fucking crazy... best ever.

jz was fucking unreal! i was stunned the whole time at how sick he was, he played top notch shit!

I thought it was the best set this year (again by James) seconded closely by Hybrid...

Zabiela was awesome - don't think I stopped dancing - and he's restored my faith in progressive music.

good night I thought. best night I'd had in Canberra for ages.

You all rock & thanks for all the feedback & the great party. thanks for top night.... again - Jz

Oh... and did I mention RA gave the party 10/10? Superb review. Link is:

That mix was also recorded by me - and was also the first one that was released on mercuryserver.

Ahhh... memories!

[groffhibbitz]

can't wait for this zabiela mix, his lot33 mix from last year is classic!

If you're down this end, why not 1 up and come to a Sweetchilli and buy him the drinks

Re: .AUdio on Proton: JAMES ZABIELA (Sept 16)

Haha. Thanks mate.. it's agreed - the next round's on you!

Fear not - Justin & Piero will definitely be back. They're playing at Sasha's Involver tour in about 6 weeks, along with a warmup from Robbie Lowe - so maybe I can get something worked out for recording at that event. Word is that Sasha's not real keen on approving recordings for anything but festivals so that might count things out. But this little covert duck has a few tricks up his sleeve, so let's see what happens!

On another slant, as I type this I'm transferring Matthew Dekay's live set off DAT from last Saturday night. Everybody was thrilled at just how tight this guy is ...plenty of dancefloor devastation for fans of a more pumped up sound. Hopefully he gives the nod to release!

Grant, there's no need to tell us all how great your show is...we're all quite aware of the quality that you have brought us month in and month out :wink:

Now as for the supporting sets that you've played, now that's where the true surprising quality comes in. Some names I've heard of but not much of and others that I've been introduced to through your show (still enjoy that Justin & Piero show tremendously). Keep up the great work and next time I actually find myself over on your end of the world please LET me buy you at least a few drinks

Thanks for the infos man!

Re: .AUdio on Proton: JAMES ZABIELA (Sept 16)

Well, the scheduling for all Proton's shows are being re-evaluated because there's a whole stack of new programs coming on and from October there will someone doing a show after mine. Previously I was the last show of the day's fixed broadcast schedule, so I could run as long as I wanted to - and certainly took advantage of that!

Now - as usual - I'm pushing for an even better timeslot to maximise the listening audience. Here's hoping Sam can slip me that perfect spot.

[djway]

Damn man! Why are they cutting such a quality show!

Keep up the good work, regardless....it's defo appreciated world wide.

Re: .AUdio on Proton: JAMES ZABIELA (Sept 16)

Yeah, I don't seem to be able to 'win' with the stream rippers I'm afraid. As most of you will know - if I get the approval to release something afterwards, I always do. Unfortunately if I give that info up front then nobody actually listens to the program though!

Hey Jenks - those two promos either side of JZ are absolutely spot on for tech house lovers. The Switch & McGuyver one is really solid dancefloor style stuff, and the Sam McEwin set is more of a listener's choice... more twisted and based in minimal tech. I fucking love 'em both.

Proton has also changed my scheduling so as of next month I will no longer have these very long shows - I'll be limited to 3 hrs from here on in unfortunately. Catch the last of the super-extended .AUdio format while you can!
