To the basement people. To the basement!

This song has overwhelmed my waking consciousness breached the tide walls of my sanity and has left goosebumps creeping up my spine everytime I hear his voice.

Gigs this week


Come check me out at my new sunday residency!
Every Sunday at The Bank!
The club Wednesdays
And shock horror at Moulin Rouge







Arriving on the scene earlier this year with their debut album Acolyte, you’d be forgiven for almost writing Delphic off. Looking at their track record, the Manchester three-piece had all the touchstones to present themselves as just another buzzed about UK group that wouldn’t manage to live up to its own hype. For starters their concoction of electro and brooding indie could be viewed as some opportunistic trend-jumping and there was their hook-ups with hipster-centric labels like Kitsune and Modular working both for and against the band.

Check out their new Phoenix remix.

This too; shall pass


The quote, in itself, is simple. The true wisdom to be found in its meaning is revealed in the story from which the quote originates. Whether it serves as a reminder or this is the first time you hear it....

King Solomon, feeling blue, asked his advisors to find him a ring he had once seen in a dream.
"When I feel satisfied I’m afraid that it won’t last. And when I don’t, I am afraid my sorrow will go on forever. Find me the ring that will ease my suffering." he demanded.
Solomon sent out all of his advisors, and eventually one of them met an old jeweller who carved into a simple gold band the inscription, "this too shall pass." When the king received his ring and read the inscription, his sorrows turned to joy and his joy to sorrows, and then both gave way to equanimity.

You see, the great King found himself unable to be content. He felt sorrow when he was happy, and sorrow when he was not, because he was unable to see his way forward. The ring served to cancel out his sorrow. By constantly having something to look forward to, he found himself content. What he previously thought was satisfaction was only a superficial feeling that was brought on by his great wealth, which was only temporary, thus his satisfaction could not last forever. True satisfaction could only be found when he recognised his wealth for what it was.

Life can be your ring. This too shall pass. Believe that, and you will have found your peace with the process of moving forward in life.

There is happiness to be found in realising that you are already happy.
Happy that you've finally allowed yourself to be happy.



Taking your clothes off is my new favourite thing to do!


Get off your High Horse baby; I don't need a ride tonight

We see the same old shows on the televison.
We pass the same shops on our streets.
We think to ourselves "I know this world; I know what it contains - and what it has to offer me."
We think there is very little we haven't encountered or experienced.
Your expectations are based on experiences that relate to your past. not your future.


I hold my head high. Walk Tall. Be proud.
I cannot let myself feel small or vulnerable or I will break.
My life is one big confidence trick. The trick is simply to have confidence.
If I pull everyday off with at least LOOKING like I have it together. Then I succeed.
I am burning the candle at both ends and can feel the heat.
To the male who grabs my attention for more than 3 minutes. I take my tophat off to you.

Fix your Agenda

Be drunk; always. Nothing else matters; this is my sole concern.
To ease the pain as time's dread burden weighs down upon your shoulders and crushes you to earth, you must be drunk with respite.
Drunk with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you please.
But, please, be drunk.

Munky Hustle.

As most of you know, my father brought me up on a very strict diet of house music and appreciation for beer.
The first record I ever owned was produced by Inland Knights. Instead of worshipping the Spice Girls, I was in absolute adoration with these boys and the originality of their music for most of my teenage years.
I was lucky enough to see them here in Sydney last year and I still have goosebumps just thinking about it.


Here they do a collabo with the pair of brothers (as in, having the same mother) known as Da Sunlounge on some White Label bootleg style shits. You'll know why this release had to go this route when you hear what they sampled...

I can't play this game forever; I will never really leave

I tell people i like things and holding hands.
Secretly, however, I doodle on my knickers with a sharpie; and eat crumpets in bed.
I adore the little affairs that reside my life.
I ove potential in humans.
I own a lot of leather and black lace.
I wish i could pout provocatively.
I like flesh coloured hosiery; but everyone tells me its a faux pas.




To get a rainbow; first you must have sunshine at the same time as rain.
Sometimes it is only when we face the worst we realise the best.
The power of my imagination is strong enough to turn my dreams into something real.
Unfortunately my current circumstances are not so accommodating and I am required to pick up the pace before I am ready.
I am feeling challenged as instability continues to plaque me.
I would prefer not to have to worry about which parts of my life may fall apart and what that might mean to me in my present position.
But I cannot enjoy the luxury of consistency now;
I must float downstream on the currents of change and observe how I react to these surroundings.
