About Me

I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!OK, i've finally moved house, got my studio back (bigger & better than ever) and I still run Saturdays at Tonic Lounge. Yes, my friends this weekly Saturday night has never wavered it's music policy in over 4 years. Which is why this place packs out with fun loving soul individuals each and every week. It is still and has always been about original (rare/not so rare) soul/funk/latin/jazz/disco/afro/rare groove/reggae/hiphop which always makes this party bump in all the right places. "What about new music" I hear you say. Don't fret, new grooves are welcome as much as the old ones as long as they capture that same feeling. The night has been really successful over the years and not without the help of many local DJ's, chums and the odd guest both interstate and international. Regulars have and still include - Steve Allkins, Nick Toth, DJ Regal, The Boogie Monster, Noel Boogie, Simon Caldwell, Frenzie, Tom Tutton, Meem, Noodles, Mr Chad, and of course me ol mukka Mr Downtown Brown.G
