DJ Mark Dynamix wondered who he was having to support him on Friday night at Jack The House 3 so he decided to interview me about the Madd Club and its lost history of making a mess.

Maynard & Madd Club play Jack The House 3
It’s a rare Madd Club show Friday night as The Madd Club and myself jump around and play the really retro tracks from EMF, KLF & RSF. Probably other stuff from the 90s that doesn’t have 3 letter abbreviations too. The Sly Fox in Enmore is the venue and we’ll be on about 10pm. Kate Monroe is after us and frankly she’s a bit nervous that we might break something, find out Friday night. I don’t think we’ll be doing this again anytime soon.

Maynard goes nuts in Kings Cross 2000
In October 2000 the Madd Club rocked the Frontier Nightclub in King Cross.
The Channel V cameras were there to record the wacky antics and end of the 20th century fashions for you all to enjoy.

With the very untimely passing of Prince, we revisit Bunga Bunga 23 in which Tim Ferguson settles once and for all the philosphical challenge through the ages.
Prince or Morrissey? And can you even have both?
Over to you Ferguson….

The charming and diminutive Katy Manning played Whovian companion Jo Grant 1971-1973 with Jon Pertwee as the third Doctor Who. Together they battled Daleks, Autons and giant evil green maggots from Wales. This interview is from Maynard breakfast show 1991. Katy’s favourite line of dialogue was:”look out Doctor! Here comes a big one.” A line that occurred in more than one episode. Katy Manning has promised a rematch interview on her next visit to Australia.
Look out indeed. Here comes a live one.
Warning: Katy Manning is a screamer.

Chris Dunn was one of the people behind Waterfront Records in Sydney, a legendary record shop and a record label that put out more than 170 releases between 1982 – 1997. The Hard Ons, Tumbleweed & Ratcat were the kind of sound that was favoured by Chris Dunn & Steven Stavrakis . Chris has just opened a vinyl record bar, The Edwards Shop in Newcastle West so he can hang out with his Mum more.
Enjoy this primer on Waterfront Records as Chris schools Maynard on running an indie record label in the 1980s and you can give Chris a visit to see what’s new on his shelves this week.
Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special

With the recent passing of DJ Paul Holden I was inspired to post the entire hour of a Special I did on Rewind on Channel V in 2001. Using footage originally shot at many dance parties by Charles Amsden in 1988 – 1990. I put some memorabilia and the clips of all the original house tracks. (although I know the Rozalla track is a remix, but we couldn’t find a broadcast version of the original Everybody’s Free at that time.)
Enjoy, the show is dedicated to DJ Paul Holden and everyone else who was there.

I had the pleasure to interview Mr Paul Holden and have him share some of his life in the DJ box and the dance floor.
He is no longer out there championing the cause of good grooves and vinyl.
Enjoy this time Paul Holden and myself spent on his rooftop, chatting about the feeling you get when THAT track is mixed in, among thousands, but you felt that Paul was maybe playing it just for you.
He is a part of our dance culture that many people who go to bed at 9pm might not understand, but WE were there and so was DJ Paul Holden.
Thank you for the interview Paul…
