Funky So and So...

About Me

I am a dj, photographer and the driver behind...
I have been djing, promoting and running my own parties since 1999. This has developed over the last few years into promotional design, event photography and the Weedhopper Productions website.My dj career has had many highlights including supporting the Stanton Warriors in Bangkok in 2005, 3 Tours of Thailand, playing at the massive Earthcore Festival in 2005 & 2007, holding a 5 month Saturday night residency at Bimbo Deluxe in Melbourne in 2005, my 2 year Saturday night residency for The Get Down in Melbourne and gigs for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the more recent Spanish Festival. At the moment I hold residencies at Murmur (2nd, 4th & 5th Saturday of the month) and Dirty Secrets (1st Saturday of the month). If you love your funk raw, uncooked, soulful, with latin handclaps and the occasional big disco hit, come check me out!!I love Thai food, funk music both old and new, latin boogaloo, old school hip hop, jazz and creative beatmakers and performers! Also can't get enough of the Bamboos, Cookin on 3 Burners, Sharon Jones, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Red Astaire, AGFA, Fort Knox Five and Funkadelic.I travel regularly, both to dj, relax, catch up with friends and photograph madly!My favourite place to visit is Chiang Mai, Thailand and I am a collector of funk records, run dmc tshirts and adidas sneakers!!Also love cars made in the 1960's!!Check this out, a Mr Lob Mix being used by Flexystudio on YouTube. Wicked poppin and lockin indeed...I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
