With Special Guests

KALI (Picnic)

PERET MAKO (Room To Manouevre)

Marrickville Bowling & Recreation Club

Mad Racket once again rings in the New Year, this time with two of Sydney’s most respected DJs alongside the Racketeers.

Kali is no stranger to fans of quality dancing music in Sydney. She has built a solid reputation as one of Sydney’s leading forward-thinking DJs and with her Picnic company has toured a bucketload of amazing acts including Harvey, Andrew Weatherall and Darshan Jesrani.

Peret Mako returns to Racket ready to bust up the joint and take no prisoners. Beware!

Of course the Racketeers Four – Ken Cloud, Zootie, Jimmi James & Simon Caldwell – will be completing this stellar local lineup. Who needs over-rated international producer/DJs? Not us!

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.”

Mad Rackets 14th Birthday

WHERE: Marrickville Bowling Club, Sydney

WHEN:Saturday, October 27, 2012

Mad Racket is turning FOURTEEN and we’d love you to come along and celebrate with us! We’ve enlisted the help of possibly our favourite guest DJ, the Sheffield mixing machine Chris Duckenfield. As half of Swag, Chris has produced countless dance floor movers and deep gems. More recently, Chris has shifted his focus to making babies as well as more excellent tunes under a number of aliases, including Duckbeats, as well as running a boutique distribution service, All Ears. His DJ sets still set him apart fr
om most, ranging from deep slo-mo boogie to heavy house bass jams. He is simply one of the best out there, highly rated by those in the know.
A bunch of his mixes can be found here… http://soundcloud.com/chris-duckenfield
The four Birthday Boys - Jimmi James, Zootie, Ken Cloud and Simon Caldwell – will be there to cut the cake and play some crucial cuts on the one and only Bowl-O-Sonic rig.

Dress is sporting styles!
