If you love New Era caps as much as me, you’re in for a treat with their next collabo. Homegrown with a gangsta lean, the headwear giants team up with local legends Saint Side. Fronted by my mack daddy brothers X-Drift and Steve Duck, the fellas were given two colourways to reinterprete, throwing down a sweet ode to the DJ Quik classic ‘Dollar and Sense’. Dropping in a grey/red and black/red snapback, you can cop directly from the fellas at their pop up shop extravaganza in Melbourne’s CBD this Friday. All details are in the Facebook invite here.

Not content with dropping dope domeness on to the masses, the St Albans bretheren also have a stealth G-Shock to giveaway on the night! So mark your calendars for Friday 16th December and make your way to the Saint Side CBD PopUp Store, Level 2, 15 McKillop St (Above Up There Store) in Meltown. Oh did I mention I’ll be spinnnin’ some gangsta rap classics on the night? From 6-8pm followed by my DJ brother in arms A-Styles. Brought to you be the awesome Acclaim Magazine, New Era, Saint Side, Casio and Familia Brands. RECOGNIZE!!!

Your weekends are about to get a whole lot better this Summer with the epic introduction of 360 AGENCY’S WE – THE WEEKEND. Chock full of Australia’s finest dance and hip hop DJs, WE goes down at the newly refurbished SEVEN NIGHTCLUB in Albert Park. I’ll be spinnin’ at the launch, DEC 10th..so make sure you get down cos if you’ve seen the roster of artists on the 360 AGENCY books, you know you’re in for a cray cray time yo. Peep the video teaser HERE.

To counteract all the electronica and dance that will be bombarding Melbourne this weekend, CQ are throwing a MASSIVE RNB night at LIV tomoz (aka Friday). But don’t fret, there will be a little bit of house in the building thanks to Mark Pelligrini and Yeah Right DJs. I’ll be headlining from 11:30-12:30, so if you’re trawling the city or on your way to the strippers then make sure you make a detour to the bangin’ YO! MAFIA JAMS. All deets are in the flyer above!

It may be Monday, but that don’t mean the party stops just cos the weekend did! Going on eight gigs strong, tonight’s gig is one I’ve been looking forward to for the last month since I was booked. It’s about time Melbourne got a dope hip hop jamboree for the start of the week. It’s the best way to curb those Monday-itis feelins. And it doesn’t get better than this killer line up. I finally get to DJ with my favourite homie HANS DC (and on his birthday none-the-less) plus long time DJ buddy Mu-Gen and Australia’s number one turntabilist and good mate DEXTER. Yes, you heard right…DEXTER will be christening the night with his rad stylings of insane cuts! It’s all FREE too…add to that $2.50 pots and $5 vodkas, your hangover just carried over into the new week bitches!!! LAUNDRY BAR – 50 JOHNSTON ST, FITZROY 3065. Check the FACEBOOK EVENT for more.

This year I had the honour of rocking the NOVA100 Tent at the Tatts Cox Plate Moonee Valley Race Course. It was an incredible day fuelled with all you can eat goods and all you can drank cocktails. Needless to say, things got messy very quickly! On the ones and twos with me were the incredible BAG RAIDERS as well as the awesome Eddie Rinaldo – each of us rocking our own signature blend of party jams and dope bangers. Moonee Valley Racing just released the epic recap video featuring Hughsey and Kate plus a swag of horse race fans, which you can see AFTER THE JUMP.…mad times indeed!

Another killer event I’m stoked to be DJn on is the insane JAGUAR SKILLS show in Melbourne at the awesomely refurbished Laundry Bar. If you haven’t been down to the Johnston St spot since its takeover, this is the night to get down! With a crazy new stage area, dope new bar, loads of couches and killer dancefloor, you can come chill and listen or get your sweat on and dance til you cramp up in a spasm! If you love insane mash ups like you’ve never heard before, get down to the UK legend’s only Melbourne show this Saturday night. More deats at the FACEBOOK EVENT!

I’m totes honoured to be playing on this killer bill for the RMIT End Of Year Party! With Purple Sneakers, The Bad Cats and Smoking Toddlers all on board to bust out some killer mash ups for the uni kids, this is going to be HUUUUUUUUGE!!! And did I mention there’s free booze for those that get there early! Don’t forget to dress DOUBLE DENIM too….ridickness. Hit the FACEBOOK EVENT for ticket details etc etcs!

It’s finally arrived! The new brand spanking YO!MAFIA WEBSITE! A work in process for a long while now, I banded together with my fellow Sneaker Freaker brother Anthony Costa and together we designed an easy to navigate barrel of fun! On here you’ll find all my mixes, party snaps, gig dates (28 in November alone!), a concise bio on everything I’ve been doing the last 7-10 years in the DJ game, links to this blog, my G-Shock Blog, interviews with fellow DJs and musicians such as A-Trak, The Cool Kids, Busy P, Dizzee Rascal and more. There’s plenty to look at and check out, so I’ll be updating the site on the regular with all my new ish. This page will be for all my dope goings ons and news stuff, so keep checking back. I’ll be updating more frequently PROMISE! Bookmark it today!

Finally. And with no delay...FAVELA ROCK AUGUST pics are now live. Sorry for the hold up peeps but with a last minute trip to Japan to interview SWIZZ BEATZ and VERBAL on the cards, time is but of the essence. Alright, alright…I’m farkin’ lazy. No excuses…check it all out after the jump and make sure to head down SEPT 24th for FAVELA ROCK SEPT SIZZURP.

This past weekend I was honoured to be asked to spin at the after party for Channel 10′s Program Launch shin dig in Sydney. I guess I really made some peeps get loose at The Logies to be invited back…and after rocking The Offspring Wrap Party a couple of months back, something tells me someone at Ch 10 loves me. And I gotta say, I luuuuuuuuurve me Ch 10. The guys not only have the best programs on TV in my humble opinion (and I seriously don’t watch the tube much anymore), they know how to get dooooooooown! I rocked the party with two of Sydney’s finest female DJs Bambalam and Elly K, and together we all busted out 15 minute sets over the course of three hours. I spotted more than a few familiar faces, and it was dope to have Mrs Sarah Murdoch tower over the crowd to get my attention and say hey. We’d had a quick convo at The Logies and her husband and herself have personally invited me to DJ at their Aids Charity Dinner in October – something to definitely look forward to. I saw the chick that won Masterchef (I’d watched the last episode only, as I was DJn every night it was on). Asher Keddie and I gave props…..it was great to see her again after she personally requested me as their DJ for The Offspring Wrap Party. But enough name dropping – the Moet was on tap as were the immaculate horses doovers! All decked at the incredible Simmer On The Bay, it was definitely a night to remember…check out some more Instagram peeps after the jump….

Those Moet bottles never stopped poppin!
