Episode 289: c2eMusic at Night Safari - Carousel - March 2025

This mix is a recording from the set I played for Night Safari on March 22nd at Carousel in Sydney.Carousel is a relatively new club that recently got voted one of the top clubs in the world!!  It's somewhere I go regularly, the sound system alone cost $600k AUD!  Funktion one throughout, even in the bathroom they have a small Funktion One!It's been a dream of mine to play there ever since it opened.  The DJ Booth is so cool, elevated above the dancefloor, but surrounded by VIP.  The decks sit on a suspended table to reduce noise to the turntables.I was on warm up duty and so kicked things off to an empty club.I will come clean, some of the transitions in this mix make me wince.  I was aware of a couple I had to wrestle on the night, but the recording highlights a few more.  It's a shame because the tunes are superb.  But hey, shows that this cat does NOT use the Sync button.  I don't get to play this kind of music in Sydney very often unfortunately.As always these days I took the liberty of dropping my last two tracks towards the end of the mix.I'm looking forward to the next Night Safari, being able to play unrestricted.  The crowd are great too, there was such cool energy in the room all night.With the exception of the dodgy mixing in places I'm really proud of this set.  It was done on the fly and I love the warehouse sounding early tunes.  It reminds me of the good old days in the early 90s, getting into the club early.  Empty dancefloor, minimal NY style house beats.Thanks again Tolga for inviting me to play, can't wait to do it all over again.Tracklisting:1: Ralph Session - A Nod To MAW (GarcyNoise Remix)2: Detroit Swindle - Woman3: Cinthie - Maleficent4: Audio City Soul - Au Shonk5: Frits Wentink - About You6: Shur-I-Kan - The Fly7: Blazers - A Sidelong Glance8: Sonarpilot - Open House (Danny J Lewis Mix)9: Dub Striker - Falling Leaves (Murvin Sound Mix)10: Kyodai - Sex Affair (Main)11: Milton Jackson - 640012: Klaus Veen - Poison13: One & Done - Chum 14: Vincenzo Gerri - All I Need15: George Smeddles - Festival Track17: c2eMusic - London Knights (Orig Mix)18: Walter G - Omakla19: c2eMusic - Beautiful Persons20: Joeski, Hector Lavoe - Dia De Ayer (Extended) 21: Kerri Chandler - Bar A ThymEnjoy!
