We are thrilled to announce the Text Book Music 006 launch party for 'If You’re Lost I’ll Be your Shadow' is almost here. This record was never intended for a wider audience nor a release, however a message received from Caroline Beynon, after a conversation with her siblings Paul and Melanie, chang...

"I feel like this composition is more than a coincidence or choice of song-writing. It's a communication with those we've loved and lost - a conversation if you will. At times moody and forlorn, but ultimately pretty and content. Certain parts just exhume an other-worldliness in the original and I think this and the entire package do as well.

Art with a meaning that is completely selfless is arguably the only true art."

I hope this resonates with you as it did me, Habersham

6 hour extended set from NYD

10/04/2013

I decided to do a 6 hr podcast when Nadja Lind asked me to do a podcast for her label Lucid Flow. It will be split into three parts and released in sections over the next few weeks. It has been one of the biggest artistic challenges I have ever encountered in my musical career to be honest, a solid 5 month process.

My goal was to showcase how I play, when I am given an extended set time length which really only happens when I DJ outside of my home city Melbourne. The challenge not only was to present a cohesive and well programmed set but to for it make sense if people only listen to it in sections as opposed to the full 6 hours which most many people will only listen to it in full for example on long drives or at home at an after party.... Also as it features ambient , electronica, world music, deep house, techno, breakbeat, and everything in between it really has been a challenge and extremely testing at times - but it has also been very rewarding.

I hope you guys like it. Big thanks must go to Rhonda, my fiancé, for being there for me throughout this challenge – I have enjoyed the experience. I also need to acknowledge all the artists - Habersham, Phil K, Luke Chable, Jay Tripwire, Chris Fortier, Delic, Kriece, Sasha, Muska, Altruism, Paul Beynon, KB, Mike Callander, Tornado Wallace and many others, who either wrote music especially for it, or gave me exclusive tracks for the mix....

Most of all, thanks to Nadja Lind for her patience its been a long time coming and Caroline Beynon for her support ☺ This is the Part 1, Part 2 & 3 coming soon - for a full track list and and interview pls visit
