12th Planet, Jack Beats, Devlin & Ghostdad at Homebase
Monday the 9th of January saw the first day back for the weekly Heaps Decent Homebase at Redfern Community Centre in 2012. Starting off the year with more than a bang, we had not 1, not 2, but 5 international artists join us as guest facilitators. All the way from the USA were 12th Planet, Devlin & Ghostdad, and then hailing from the UK were 2 piece Jack Beats, all of whom happened to be in town for Fuzzy’s Field Day festival in The Domain on New Years Day. We were very appreciative that they took time out from their busy touring schedules to come down and spend a day in the studio and it was fantastic having them there!
Ghostdad immediately felt at home setting up camp as engineer in the main studio with Devlin. The two worked on a beat for Kut who then laid down a nice little rap over a trademark Devlin/Ghostdad beat.
Outside the studio, 12th Planet and Jack Beats pretty much became a beat making sweatshop, first busting out a killer beat for Tyrone, and then next Fowl Murk and Tama and then lastly one that featured Monica on the guitar!
With a pretty amazing beat in hand, Tyrone enlisted Levins the lyricist to help him start with a catchy hook talking about the summertime. Tyrone then sat down with me to record the hook, where we continued to build up the rest of the structure and even played around with singing some harmonies and adding other vocal layers. We played Jack Beats and 12th planet what we had come up with and they loved it, with 12th planet suggesting we record some add lib’s towards the end of the track – which we promptly proceeded to do!
Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Hugh worked on sampling some old school songs and recording guitar and vocals with Tashx, while Fowl Murk and Tama wowed our guests with their ability to write so quickly as the Terrible Twinz, and Henry showed everyone exactly how to record a verse in one take back inside the studio.
On top of all that Homebase headmaster Bozzetto found some brand new recruits from the Redfern Community Centre and gave them the opportunity to record and make music for their first time.
By the end of the session the music that was created was super impressive and everyone there is showing such amazing skill. Something else I really noticed that was great to see, was the general team player vibe and everyone’s ability to take direction and listen to the facilitators/guests. It makes such a difference when an artist can take on advice and try out different things in order to come up with the best results. Such a good atmosphere all in all.
Zensation Tea House
Some of you may not know it but there is an amazing authentic Oriental tea house in SURRY HILLS!!!
Zensation is run by (my gorgeous lady friend) Christina, stocking and serving the finest teas from around the globe located on Bourke Street Surry Hills (right near Cleveland St) . They serve traditional tea service and Yum Cha and also stock many authentic and artisan tea wares.
Why did I not think of this for Christmas present ideas!?
So, if you're looking for something different to do throughout this crappy rainy weather - or on a lovely sunny day as well - why not pop by and visit Christina for some tea and dumplings?!
Or just visit Christina cos she is a mega babe ;)

PLUTO PLUTO PLUTO
In all seriousness... PLUTO JONZE is one to watch.
You may have heard him recently getting played (deservedly) loads on Triple J - I have seen him live before only once and I cannot wait to catch him and his band again on this tour.
He's also not bad on the old eyes too right?
Ladies, check out this video below.
You're welcome.
How have I only just found this?!
Mrs Bishop doing a beautiful live over on fib radio.
Again, won't hurt the old eyes... or eyes for that matter.

SYDNEY FESTIVAL - TONIGHT
I am lucky enough to be playing after Nigerian-French artists Asa and Féfé at the Keystone Festval Bar this evening as part of Sydney Festival. If it's true what they say then I am in for a real treat... Asa has drawn comparisons to Erykah Badu with her smoke and honey voice and nod to 60s soul and Afro-beats and Fefe presents an explosive live show fusing elements of funk, soul, blues, rock and the odd ballad.
It's sold out (yew!) but luckily free from 11:30pm so anyone can join the party a little later on.
8.30pm: Asa
9.50pm: Fefe
11.00pm: Late Night at the Bar: Devola and Kristy Lee
