Patēa Music Club

In case you haven’t noticed we’ve both renamed and relocated to our new time slot, 11pm -1am Wednesdays. Suits us down to the bottom of our cotton socks. I wanna talk more about this but hey existence is pretty much (appropriately) death in Auckland, if you’re not sick or dying of cold count yourself lucky.

Anyway it’s awesome to be bringing you a new radio show,  we’ve got some amazing shows and guests of the coming months. Maybe its best I just update this post and explain more fully what we’re all about when getting out of bed becomes a more realistic prospect. So for now, enjoy our first two shows. (apologies if the tracklist isn’t perfect, I get a bit confused sometimes). We’ve got some great stuff coming up and great live guest mixes to bring you.

Yours

Brooke Bentham

Sorry I’ve been neglecting you wee bloggy. To make up for it here’s a collection of all the debris that has accumulated since I got back to NZ and neglected to post. Managing a radio station doesn’t always leave you heaps of time to post pictures of lolcats. You should check my twitter for that… (twitter.com/brookemitchell)

Also not many people know this but fleetfm has a Youtube favourites page that consistently blows my mind. Anyone can log in and add to it too! youtube.com/fleetfm

Anyway since I’ve been too lackadaisical to keep the frequently update this blog. I’d give you an asorted collection of musical debris of mine that has accumulated of the last few years without me noticing. It seems strange but listening through some of my old shows it doesn’t seem like me that plays this music, or I think, “It’s great but I don’t even remember that track.” Rather than be disconcerting, those are some of my favourite moments I think. Djing can be so all consuming that when things are going well you really get lost in what you are doing. Even though it’s really just you being a knobhead and banging a few tracks together. Anyway I realise I haven’t been enoying it enough lately. This won’t help, but here’s a collection of bits and pieces I really should’ve gotten round to posting up earlier, waaaaaaaaay earlier.

Here’s a Mix I did for as a present for my friends while I was in Belgium, appropriately titled the Christmas mix. This one’s pretty slick and feature alot of stuff that’s a bit more difficult to play in a live scenario.

This is one of my favourite ever Springfling shows, and one I did pretty early on in my radio show, recorded then lost. Then it got deleted and now I’m uploading it specially. I wont give a tracklist unless asked but it features some stuff like a Golden Axe edit that I completely forgot about and sounds really good here I think, and opens with one of my favourite ever tracks to this day. The first time I ever got a call to my show was some lovely person asking about this Maurice Fulton track. SO good.

This was a live set I did as a warm up for a recent Heaven + Paradise show. Warming up is hard, you gotta pace yourself and keep kinda low and sleazy. I think.

http://audio.substep.com/fleetfm/springfling050309.mp3

A bit diffent from the usual fare and a recent show I really like. Lotsa wierd stuff. No mixing, just some german industrial, afrobeat, disco funk and dancefloor oddities.

I’ll add more bits and pieces as they turn up.

Just incase anyone was wondering why it’s been particularly quiet round these parts. I’ve relocated for the next few months to enjoy the icy love of those european winters! It’s not without it’s perks though, this is what my neighborhood looks like.

My house is just of the street on the top left I guess. Anyway while I’m gone I’ll be leaving my show in the more than capable hands of Julia ( of Prince Diana / Liz ‘n Andy ) & Marie ( Pig Out ) << Support these bands!

So listen out for the show Thursdays From 11am - 1 pm. I’ll also be upping a ton of old shows I never got round to tracklisting as I get the time.

Just like the mars rover …

Finally a mix worthy of posting …

tokyo black star - innersequence
discemi - data sapiens (radio slave remix)
alton m - where my fathers danced (hot box mix)
designer music - problemz

house 2 house - hypnotize me

trentemoller & dj tom - an evening with bobi bros ( this might seem weird at first but i actually quite like this track in all its mashing together of old school deep and dub and peak hour ecstasy vocal cheesiness )
grace jones - nipple to the bottle

you might notice a large quantity of goofy house style scratching in the middle of the segment and a few of my even goofier attempts at it. i actually love house records that try and fit in a scratch, perhaps most famous (and goofily seen) of housemaster boyz house nation. the perfect antidote to all that turntablism business…

Somtimes things just aren’t going you’re way and you just gotta jam out for a bit… yeah… what a funny thing to say.

This is another weeks show. Unfortunately my laptop died forty minutes before the end of the show while recording, stupid forgetting the power supply ass self. One benefit of doing it this way though is not having to listen to me ramble on, you don’t wanna hear me talk about the government budget, trust me. Gotta put that politics degree to some use.
Anyway I think I’ll do a more formal introduction next time, but till then…

Make one of these totally dominate the other and you have a problem.
