Dr Hitchcock || Starlifter.FM Dr Hitchcock

Before Claire and I departed our beloved Narrm/Melbourne one of my best mates Markj aka Mr Soundfood organised a farewell party for us with me as the headliner! How could I refuse!!

This is how he described me in the lead up to the gig:
"Although he is from an inferior part of the Naki, he has still gone on to achieve some amazing things in the music industry. He’s one of the best radio presenters I’ve ever known, and it’s hard not to be annoying in that game. He played me an interview recently he did with a grumpy Goldie, and I was amazed at how well he handled it.
He’s one of my favourite DJs. He taught me that it’s ok to mash genres and be brave with your selections. He’s introduced me to so much good music over the years, especially in the electro/indie realms. Think DFA records, Soulwax, Chk Chk Chk, Mylo and Rex The Dog.
Over the last couple of years, Benet has been getting into his own productions, and I’ve been super impressed with how far he has come in such a short time.
He’s one of my best friends, I consider him family. I’m even the Lord Father of his beautiful daughters!
Sadly him and the Whanau are moving back to NZ next year, so I figured this would be a great way to musically honour him before they depart.
He’ll perform a hybrid DJ/live set, along with myself on the pots, pans and filters."

Check out my love letter to Nirvana with this rework of 'Drain You'."

Mad props, love and respect to Kurt, Dave and Krist for making such amazing music. Your sound is an integral part of my life and for that I am incredibly grateful.

Dive into the year 2323 with the enthralling new synthwave track, "Disco Brutus (F.L.O.)". This cybernetic symphony is the latest track from the future's favourite humanoid Panda, Dr Hitchcock. Imprisoned in a hexagonal TARDIS-like enclosure, he fills the void with his sassy synthesizer sounds. Thrilling listeners across dimensions, his latest creation fervently echoes the rhythmic pulse of a future lost yet fondly remembered!?

My good friend Kerry asked if I could play her birthday party. Fresh off a banger of a gig at Obie's I thought "hells yeah!". The brief was upbeat party vibes so I played the likes of Justice, Bowie, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Haiku Hands, Soulwax, Uffie, Duck Sauce, The Rapture as well as one of my own towards the end. Party on yo!

Last Saturday I had the honour of playing tunes at my very old friend Obie's 40th birthday party. We've known each other since youth group days in the mid-90s and in fact I started DJing youth group discos a couple years after that. We're both quite different people in many ways these days but we still know how to party 🫠 Little did I know it but James Curd was headlining! This makes it the second time that I've played support for him, what a night!!

This set features the latest from Terr, a funky wee number from DMX Krew, a Bowie remix, Kyle Watson smashing a kick drum, an Armand Van Helden remix of Uffie, a classic from Phoenix as well as one of my very own tunes, Disco Brutus (F.L.O.).

Enjoy xox
