Sounds of Seduction nightclub 2000

The legendary Sounds of Seduction, a full hour of fun and funky weird ass music video…

Perhaps the most exotic and exciting night in Sydney’s history is Sounds of Seduction. Hosted by Jay Katz and Miss Death, it plays the broadest range of music imaginable.

On the release of the now very collectable Sounds of Seduction CD, I did a Channel V special on the Club in 2000.

You will meet the guests, the hosts, the go go dancers and the wildest selection of music inner city Sydney experienced for decades.

AND let me know if you are planning to enjoy Sunday afternoon upstairs at the Darlo Bar, Kings Cross for Viva La Vinyl.

Because I’ll be there…

Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special

 Hordern Dance Party Special with Maynard from Hordern Pavilion Dance Party Special. Maynard

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.

DJ Paul Holden returns for Jack The House 2

DJ Paul Holden has been working for 36 years as a DJ across Australia. He was behind the Bacchanalia parties during the Dance Party years of 1988-92, which are the sounds that he’ll be playing at Jack The House 2 this Friday night at The Sly Fox in Sydney.

Sitting on his rooftop in Sydney, Paul Holden elaborates on what he’ll be playing in his set and what still excites him about being a DJ. AND about the satin tracksuit outfit that is his secret weapon for this weekend.

Everything Starts With An E

Maynard & DJ Geoff (the shopkeeper) dig into the dark but enlightened times of 88-94, the Hordern Pavillion dance party years in Sydney and reveal another lost classic. Was the E stronger? It would explain the fashion at Raves. This episode we start the E Quiz sensation Are You Peakin’, Like We’re Peakin’

The Hitman

Travel back to a time without temperance. The early 90s when Geoff The Shopkeeper & Maynard were in the middle of The Hordern Pavillion dance party scene. These stories will stir memories or serve as a warning to others. 1993 brought us The Hitman from AB Logic. It may sound like a car alarm now, but it was everywhere the hip dance crowd and their drugs were in 93.
