6/4/10 #2 STREETPARTY LIVE FROM SWICK’S GARAGE Hugh Waters, aka Streetparty, is our boss, so we have only nice things to say about him. He has kept me (Tranter) on his lineups since I started djing just over 5 years ago. And he has been booking Swick since he was young (he still is young). He has put on legendary parties and gone through about a million musical movements, from indie to indie-disco to indie-electro to electro to fidget to disco to dutch to afro to hip hop to bmore to EVERYTHING KNOWN TO HIPSTERS THE CITY OVER. So we asked Streetparty to play a little dj set of what he is digging right now. It ranges from Renaissance Man remixes, Afrojack bangers, Lil Wayne rapping over Black Eyed Peas, and finishes with one of the greatest and coolest bands ever, Murder City Devils. It is a dope mix that may educate you and if it doesnt then you are too cool for school. Tracklisting: 1. Yegelle Tezeta - Mulatu Astak 2.

28/3/10 #1 SWICK & TRANTER LIVE FROM SWICK’S GARAGE The following recording is 58 minutes and 47 seconds of live djing at the infamous Swick’s Garage. We plan to do more of these in the future and it is ultimately a representation of what we want to be allowed to play in clubs (we get away with it sometimes, but sometimes crowds are lame and wanna hear lame music). This mix does have some of the most exclusive sounds, and some that you can get at your fave blogs (i hear there is a machine that hypes, and that is where you could find a bunch of these, or you could buy them from your fave webstores like itunes and beatport and juno). It has some rad mixing and so not so rad mixing, and a lot of Tranter talking poo words. Its sure to get your party going off, more than your cousin who bought his own equipment and has never played outside of his bedroom. There will be cd versions of these available at an assortment of clubs that we play at. This downloadable version is a 160kbps mp3, but the cd version is 9833785981 kbps. So grab a cd version if your ears cant handle 160kbps. Tracklisting: 1. Luciano - Los Ninos De Fuera 2. Green Velvet Feat. Kid Sister - Everybody Wants 3. Riva Starr - Dance Me (Oliver $ Remix) 4.
