Where to find me

Obviously, I havent rocked the blogspot for a good long while now.

If you want to keep up with my DJing and other thoughts you should head on over to my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/radfather where I post my upcoming gigs, whatever rad releases I find, and other things of interest, like radio playlists and such.

You can get my ramblings from my brain by checking my twitter

http://www.twitter.com/glassandahalf

which, when I actually have battery on my phone, I am usually using to blather on about whatever.

If you want to hear me on the radio, I currently present and produce Overdrive on 2SER 107.3FM in Sydney every Monday from 1600 to 1800 Australian Eastern Time, it can also be found on the DAB+ digital band (look for 2SER - i think we are third!) or by going to http://2ser.com/stream and getting the (now better quality!) webstream

And finally, if you want random lols, I have a tumblr too - check it at

Finally, have my most recent mix... I dont know how long it will be online for, but check the sunday hip hop styles...

Ug Beats with Anthony Pappa, Friday April 3, Transit Bar, Canberra





when jemist was all like "we should try and get anthony pappa", I was down. The dude has rocked my world so many times that its only fitting that the day before the wedding of Ug Beats founder Brother Rhys, we get a man who definitely inspired the start of it all.

I will be playing early at this one, from 8pm dropping a killer set of old progressive house from my collection.

Its free entry, so you should get along early, coz it will pack out.

Supporting on the night is local god DJ Peekz, new kid on the block and llik llik llik resident Gabe Gilmour, and ug kiddies DFP and Miss Universe will battle it out before the pappa starts his proggy preaching...

Bowl Lotta Love - Sunday March 15, Petersham Bowling Club



I just got a call asking if I wanted to drop some records at this -- most certainly! A fundraiser for the two most awesome radio stations in Sydney -- my very own 2ser, and the rebel hipsters of Redfern, FBi... at Petersham Bowlo, the home of all those amazing Green Beats parties back back in the day.

Its a really rad spot, it should be a great day out, and my chance to mix it up with the Fbi djs is a bit of an awesome experience that I am really looking forward to :)

Come on down, have a roll, enjoy the bbq, and get to see what some of us radio presenters actually look like ;)

Break Beats Not Hearts, Saturday 14th of March



Amazingly this isn't a breaks night... Its an indie-pop-party explosion, at the Abercrombie with the best name ever.
EVER.

Its free entry, it features the awesome Vivienne Kingswood (aka the awesome dj that played that Arkana song that time) and I will be having a fair bit of fun playing rad rocking party music.
