HAHA special intelligence forces have happened upon a band of native Mexicans over in the Mayan jungle who have advised us that our days may be numbered by an unknown force come the 21st of December.... so we decided that it was time to stand our ground in what could become an epic final fanfare into the ever so bright shine of the daylight hours for what will quite possibly be our longest warehouse soiree yet for our 'Apocalypse Now' 20TH WAREHOUSE PARTY!

For this extra special & momentous occasion we're bringing one of our all time favourite Australian General Extraordinaire's to Syd-City for an extra long late night lecture in sound, one that will most certainly go down in our history books.... 

THE HAHA SPECIAL FORCES BRIGADE are extremely excited, proud and quite honestly nearly wetting our pants to finally be bringing you the man, the legend....

Be sure to pack your BYO rations well & stay safely hidden away from direct line of sight with the enemy on route to the party Landing Zone.

Arrive and disperse silently and advise only your finest and most fearsome comrades of our impending battle against all the other boring, shitful, special moment-less nights out on all the other dance floors near you!

Tim Sweeney and Beats in Space
www.beatsinspace.net

The story of the man is synonymous with that of the radio show. Over the course of a decade, Sweeney has built Beats in Space into an iconic brand. In return, BIS has launched Sweeney’s career as one of New York’s most sought-after DJs.
It’s hard to believe that, ten years ago, Sweeney was an 18-year-old student at New York University, helming a little-known radio show on WNYU’s AM dial. The show started small, airing on an obscure frequency during the wee hours of the night. However, Sweeney understood the huge potential for a dance-music radio show broadcast from the heart of New York City. He envisioned a genre-breaking format, showcasing the best dance music—whether disco, new wave, Chicago house, minimal techno, Krautrock, funk and soul, or post-punk—found anywhere in the world, anytime in history. He took cues from groundbreaking disc jockeys like Detroit’s Electrifying Mojo, who thought nothing of following up Prince with a Kraftwerk or Depeche Mode record. Armed with this vision, Sweeney began pulling in heavy-hitting guest DJs on BIS, prompting WNYU’s producers to move him to the FM dial with increasingly prime timeslots. Sweeney quickly attracted a strong international following for the diverse range of artists and styles on his playlists. Guest artists who’ve appeared alongside him on the show range from avant-techno stylists Carl Craig and Superpitcher, to Australian turntablists the Avalanches, to Nordic disco producers Lindstrom and Prins Thomas.

Since launching BIS, Sweeney has dug deep into New York music circles. In the early days of BIS, he worked in the studio of hip-hop legend Steinski (of Double Dee & Steinski’s Lessons fame), absorbing as much as possible from the producer’s vast record collection. Later, Sweeney came aboard DFA Records, touring with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and pairing up with Tim Goldsworthy as the DJ duo T&T. His work with DFA led him to play the saxophone on the DFA remix of Radio 4′s “Dance to the Underground,” and to mix a DFA set for a 2003 Muzik magazine promo CD. He has released DFA Records’ Compilation # 2 (2004), the DFA Holiday Mix 2005, and A DFA Compilation for the Chanel Mobile Art New York Party (2008). Sweeney also collaborates with the Philadelphia-based RVNG label, recording the CD mix Purple Pills for Sleepless Nights in 2008. Until 2006, Sweeney worked as a soundtrack supervisor for Rockstar Games, scoring music for such mega-hit games as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Today, tens of thousands of listeners tune in to the Beats in Space broadcast in the Tri-State area, with thousands more all over the world listening in via live online streams, every Tuesday from 10:30pm to 1am. Fans download 175,000 archived shows from the BIS website (Beatsinspace.net) every month. Beats in Space remains the only dance-music radio show of its kind in New York, and one of the most instantly recognized in the world. And though Sweeney finds himself on an international flight nearly every weekend, he hasn’t lost sight of his initial passion. “Week in and week out, I’m still back in New York on Tuesday to record the show,” says Sweeney. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

STALLED

WHERE: One22, Sydney

WHEN: Friday, October 12, 2012

The word is out...

Dear Friends, Punters & Music Lovers alike,

It is a sad tale we must recount today, but where there is darkness there is light, and the sadness of this story is tinged with hope; hope that you, dear reader, can ignite.


It was a grave misfortune when one John Joseph Frederick Dean Dixon Jr stepped out of a cab one night unaware of the contents left behind, a misfortune that has proven to be a cruel and devastating loss. To his benefit four fellow vinyl Dj’s and friends come together for one night to replenish and help restore Dean’s loss - namely one black record bag containing sixty rare, signed and collectable vinyls, and one set of headphones.

We ask that you join us down at One22 Nightclub on the Friday 12th October to help restore not only a poor man’s faith, but also the faith in vinyl Dj’s worldwide; the faith that we will continue to peruse our love and will to play 12” records for the donation door entry price of $10.

All proceeds will go to John Joseph Frederick Dean Dixon Jr directly, who will most likely be in the same state as he was in when he lost his records in the first place.

From all at the Recovery Fund,
Eric, Dave, Dave, Magda & Simon.
