Kerry’s Birthday Party

Posted on by Dr Hitchcock

My good friend Kerry asked if I could play her birthday party. Fresh off a banger of a gig at Obie’s I thought “hells yeah!”. The brief was upbeat party vibes so I played the likes of Justice, Bowie, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Haiku Hands, Soulwax, Uffie, Duck Sauce, The Rapture as well as one of my own towards the end. Party on yo!

Start-Up 2022

Posted on by Dr Hitchcock
Artwork on this episode of the Starlifter.FM podcast titled "Start-Up 2022". It features album covers from some of the songs played during this electrnoic DJ set and has a dark theme with bright lines in the background.

2022 has been a huge year so far which makes it tricky to get around to creating a banging electronic DJ set. Me and my whānau moved from Ōtautahi | Christchurch, Aotearoa to Brunswick West, Naarm | Melbourne; and obviously world events have been mad crazy. So in between moving countries, dodging covid, unpacking boxes, finding new schools, settling in 2 young kids into a new city and culture I’ve still found time to work on a electronic DJ set.

So here it is! This set has a real sense of rhythm and groove. The start relies on sophistication and attitude with beats and pieces bridging the middle. Harder beats come on after that with a real feel of that mid 2000’s electroclash vibe. Towards the end prog makes itself felt and the whole set is book-ended with some big 90s house. Listen in for the ear candy!

This set features:

  • Raf – Self Control
  • FPU – Ocean Drive (Tiga’s White Linen Vox)
  • Charlotte Adigéry & BOLIS PUPUL – Ceci n’est pas un cliché
  • Jain – Makeba
  • Riton – Rinse & Repeat featuring Kah-Lo
  • Tube & Berger – Bierchen
  • Bleu Clair, Osvaldorio – False God
  • Anti Up – Concentrate
  • WhoMadeWho – Out The Door (Superdiscount remix)
  • ZZT – The Worm (Erol Alkan Extended Rework)
  • Fedele – Riot Revolte (DJ Hell Remix)
  • Shedbug – Pickup Sticks
  • Roza Terenzi – Elevate
  • Flora FM – Insist On Your (Brain Mix)
  • Dosem – Instead
  • The Matrix Resurrections – Neo and Trinity Theme (Johnny Klimek & Tom Tykwer Exomorph Remix)
  • Tom Cosm – Suzy AUM
  • Inner City – Good Life
  • The Chemical Brothers – Got To Keep On
