It was great to see local funk crew Kwerkshoppe do their quirky thing live at the Arts Centre last night (they're on again this Thursday if you missed them!). Of course two of this crew, Otto and Grant, have their fingers in many different musical pies such as Bowser, Rubber Johnson, and No Siesta. Start exploring their musical output at http://www.myspace.com/kwerkshoppe and go from there! A close associate and collaborator with these guys is James Canning from Respect Music (http://www.myspace.com/respectmusiccomau) who is currently taking the slow boat back from the Miami Music Conference, having secured some new deals for his talented roster of local artists. Nice work mate!
Cheers, Adam

Butterscorch, the relatively new "side" project of mine, has a couple of tracks released today thru a groovy Italian label, Pizzico Records (http://www.myspace.com/pizzicorecords). You can find them along with an unbelievably funky remix by Enzo Ponzio on Beatport, Kompakt, and Juno portals. Also there's a new track up on my Spyspace player called "Need Another One?" - some may remember a very similar track from my live sets. I finally got round to mixing it! Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/adiscoatemybaby
Cheers, Adam

Pop over to my space (http://www.myspace.com/adiscoatemybaby) sometime to hear my new remix of a classic Brisbane band. Railroad Gin released "A Matter Of Time" in 1974, and the album was recently remastered for CD. I remixed the title track -
hope you like it!
Kisses, Adam

There's a new track up on the myspace player to download and enjoy. Called "A Pair Of Eights", it's sort of spaghetti-western done with 808 and 303... er, possibly.
Cheers, Adam

Thanks to Nicole Foote from JJJ network - tonight she's featuring an hour from a recent live recording on her show "The Club". Starts at 1am.
Cheers, Adam

Thor's put up the mastered recording of the recent live set, available for free download from the music page. The "tasters" from this set I've had on MySpace have had a great response, so check them out there before you download if you want. The tracklist is at my blogspace.
Cheers, Adam

Well it seems pretty quiet round here, doesn't it, but that's when you find the real work gets done!! (er.. theoretically!) I just learnt (from Ewan Pearson's myspace) that Lee Hazlewood passed away last month. One of his classic songs with Nancy Sinatra (Some Velvet Morning) has haunted me for many years, and every so often I'll have a stab at updating it - no joy so far! Anyway, I've been busy recording and mixing some tracks for a new outfit called Butterscorch - rather bent and still rough-and-ready but promising, check out the demos via (http://www.myspace.com/butterscorch) myspace. Also, I'm mastering the last live set which many people approached me about, interested in getting a copy of the recording. Some cuts from this set are now playing on the myspace player.
Cheers, Adam

My next gig will be at Elsewhere on Friday June 8th. I am "so excite", because I've got lots of mental stuff put together (and taken apart again!) from right across the dance music spectrum, including of course versions of my recent remixes and a couple of dokthor tracks. I have still yet to persuade Thor to get up and do some vocals though! As always, the team at Elsewhere will ensure a great vibe, so come along if you're in town that night. In the meantime, check out my new DJ tools page http://www.adambaby.com/dj_tools.html to download those new remixes,
Cheers, Adam

There's a great Melbourne band by the name of Plug-In City. I've remixed their track "Broke On A Wheel" and you can hear it over at the myspace page. The club version is coming soon on my DJ Tools page.
Adam

Well there has been lots of good stuff coming out of the studio recently. Check out the dokthor myspace page for a start! Getting loads of attention!Thanks to Adam from Death Of A Disco Dancer (Tues night, Kiss FM Melbourne) and Alex from Dektek Records/Clubbersradio.com for featuring my music on their shows in recent weeks. The "Mad Love" remix is also getting played on FBI Sydney and JJJ!!
Cheers, Adam

Belated seasons greetings all - I've been underground for the silly season! Got some new dokthor tracks up on the myspace page, and continuing work on the artist album for A.D.A.M.BABY! Managed to do a couple of remixes also, of tracks by The Infadels and cool aussie band Belles Will Ring. Those tracks and the club stuff I'm working on will be available from a new page coming soon to this site, called DJ tools. I'll also be taking requests from working DJs that need a track remixed for their sets, and these will also become available eventually.
Adam

I'm currently working on some new tracks for adambaby, and also as part of dokthor. Both these projects have sold their souls to Rupert Murdoch, and so are now represented on Myspace, where you will be able to hear some works-in-progress and download finished mixes. Check out www.myspace.com/adiscoatemybaby www.myspace.com/dokthor
Drop by and say hello soon!
Adam

Well what a cracker of a gig at Elsewhere a couple of weeks ago! My thanks again to Benny, Sam, Audun and all the staff there for their efforts in publicity and putting it together. Thanks also to all those people dancing their asses off for two hours, a great vibe and great crew. The mp3 of the set can be downloaded here. To those of you who expressed interest in the new tracks I've been playing out recently, yes the next project is an artist album of diverse styles, and some of those will be included on it. I may put up some progress mixes on this site as they evolve, so keep in touch..
Adam

My next gig will be at Elsewhere Bar, Surfers Paradise on August 11, starts 11.30. Even more new songs and remixes are being prepared for this one, along with a few favourites. Just found out Pete Tong played "Dusty Windmills" on his show last month (BBC Radio One). Final master should be ready soon.
Adam

Thanks to Steve, Brendan, and all who helped rock the Empire last Friday night, what a blast! My 2 hour set can be downloaded (in 3 parts) here.
Adam

BootsInk / Engelstad Photography have finished the cover for the Dusty single - it just looks stunning! I'll be mastering it hopefully in the next few weeks. I heard that Sharif from JJJ gave it a spin a couple of weeks back - thanks mate!  I'm really looking forward to the next gig  at the Empire (middle bar) on Friday June 23rd, cos I've been busy in the studio recording some new tracks and mashing a few re-mixes of some recent Euro-electro. It's going to be electric disco old and new, maybe with a deeper house vibe towards the end I think. Hope you can make it!
Adam

A big shout out to everyone who was at last Friday's Elsewhere gig and my thanks to Sean, Sam and Audun. Good to see/meet some new people too. I'm very excited to announce my design team have outdone themselves yet again, with the cover for the ADAMBaby retrospective CD now completed. The album is called "All Twelve Inches" (and yes all sexual connotations are acknowledged) and contains all the previous vinyl releases plus the forthcoming single "Dusty Windmills". Distribution is still being finalised, but contact me here if you want to put in an early order.
Adam

It's looking like Friday April 28 will be the next gig at Elsewhere. It's co-inciding with a fashion parade so you have an excuse to dress up. Speaking of dressing up, the Wonderland theme party at Elsewhere last weekend was a huge success, despite certain people not getting in the swing of things and failing to wear a costume (yes, I got in trouble..)
Adam

.. is now available for download from the Music page in mp3 format. The tracklist and times will be embedded in the file. It turned out pretty well, the occasional dodgy vocal level but that's ok! Write in with your comments. Also check out Thor's shots from the night at the gallery page....
Adam

... for managing to keep control of live keys, bass, guitars and percussion while also mixing CDs at his gig last night at Platinum! It's great to see this sort of performance happening here, I'm looking forward to more of them.
Adam

Thanks to all those who came along last night to the gig, I really appreciate your support. The dancefloor was jammed for the two hours of the set, and I'm told there were no major sound or feedback issues with the vocals so I'm ecstatic. I finished off with two new tracks, remixes of the new Dusty Springfield song that will be available soon, and these seemed to be really well received (or maybe everyone was just smashed by this stage?). This set was recorded via my mixer (so the sound quality should be pretty good) and will be available as mp3 for download hopefully very soon. And of course Lowkey+Nude later went on to deliver a cool electro-glam set that rocked the house. My special thanks to Benny, Sam, Audun and all the staff at Elsewhere for looking after all of us and making it such a memorable evening (so much so that I'm having trouble remembering it, if you know what I mean!). Don't forget to check out Thor Engelstad's killer shots when they're uploaded here.

• 30 Jan 2006: Mixes for the new record just in!

Very exciting news - my new track, "Dusty Windmills", has new remixes by Gold Coast outfit Dokthor and Brisbane duo Lowkey+Nude. At this stage we're thinking of putting out a small run of promo 12" vinyls that will also contain another new track, "Goodbye Jeff" (my 'homage' to Jeff Buckley), so I guess that will make it a full-on tribute record!! What next? An album of Oasis cover versions? Now that gives me an idea.....
Adam .

• 5 Jan 2006: The Final Final Mix

It's turned out a happier New Year for me, because I've finished yet another mix attempt at "Dusty Windmills" (my mash up of a classic Dusty Springfield track from 1967) and finally I think I've nailed it! Hopefully you'll get to hear it soon. My design team are on the lookout for a cover shot... know any good windmills?
