Last Friday night was another great night. Brad had them coming down in droves at Cushion Lounge in Fitzroy St, St Kilda – dressed head to toe in their best gear.

Everyone seemed to get down on the well worn Cushion dance floor, busting a move to some new House, Dubstep and Top40 – but were also well at home when we ripped out some 90s dance classics.

We finished up and as we were leaving it was great to see everyone still having fun when Cushion Lounge opened up to the public later on that night.

We were extremely happy to be asked back by the good people at Eastern Health to play at their annual ball for the second year running. We had a great time again and were pleased to see everyone packing at the dancefloor to their favourite songs.

Held this year at Red Scooter, the function staff and venue were great. We’re definitely looking forward to their sound upgrades so we can play much louder next time!

Thanks for a great party everyone, maybe we’ll see you again next year!

Great night, great people, awesome music.

Back again at Windy Hill, we played some 80s, loads of 90s and finished off with a little top 40. There was a little something for everyone, and they showed it by getting on the dancefloor.

Winding down, the revellers kicked on and on the way out we had a lot of great compliments for the night. Thanks again guys!

Last Saturday saw us playing at yet another new venue, the Moonee Ponds Bowls club – and while it might be seen as a strange place for loud music, the lights over the greens made the views quite fantastic.
It was a night for the 90s and 00s with us playing as many Top40′s we could find between 1990 and 2011. Everyone was having a great time, and danced right until the very end (maybe even a bit after the end – but don’t tell anyone).
Straff had a great time behind the lens for the majority of the night – then got behind the decks to deliver a poppy journey through the 90s, which seemed to bring a smile to everyone – including the birthday girl – which was great!
Now we’re looking forward to taking a couple of weeks off (well, for me anyway) and are getting right back into it at the end of September.

Last Saturday night marked our first gig at Lilly pond in Keilor Rd. The venue was a nice, big hall-like space with plenty of room for the guys to get down and dance on the floor (which they did!). Our set was full of 90s (sometimes not-so) classics, and we played almost every type of music in our collection to keep everyone moving from start to finish.

Straff and I had a great night, with the venue staff being super friendly and helpful throughout the party. Anna’s 21st was a success, and with her friends turning out in droves and joining in all the festivities – it was really a great party to dj at.

Thanks Anna!

Man! What a weekend.

On Friday night we had Colleen’s 21st at Windy Hill, playing pretty much everything that’s new and good (I even got to drop in Skrillex’s remix of Cinema!) in music.

It was a really fun night, and it was great to see everyone having fun and packing out the dance floor. It’s always great to play at Windy Hill, they probably have the best view out of any venue we’ve played at (well maybe Eureka Tower just wins that one).

“thanks again for the other night! was really great” – Colleen

On Saturday we played at Tom’s 21st which took place at the Laurel Hotel, in Ascot Vale. This old pub turned groovy upstairs function room is another great place to play at. We’ve been here a couple of times and would love to come back and play some more – especially in summer, once they have their new outdoor deck and bar completed. It’s in the early stages of completion, but it already looks like it’s going to be a winner!

Tom’s party was full of great classics and dancing, with Straff at the controls for most of the night. This left me with the rare opportunity to scoop up the camera and take some shots of everyone enjoying themselves.

P.S. I would recommend the Parma and something from the tap for any weary Ascot Vale traveler, it really is a nice little pub.

It’s only Wednesday and I’m already pumped for the weekend! If you want to get in touch, you can email me daniel@justawesomemusic.com.au.
