Friday 7 November marks a special occassion at Honkytonks. Well known Sydney DJ Simon Caldwell returns with producer Mako for the Mixed Business tour, and an unprecedented seven hour challenge!
Mixed Business is a portable exhibition space for music and art, featuring 3 of Australia's finest, DJ Simon Caldwell, producer Mako and visual artist, Jay Ryves. It is a collaborative CD series that provides visual vehicle for modern artists to show their work outside the confines of a gallery space and allows DJ’s to work alongside producers to explore a timeless mix of music unhindered by the usual demands of being current or trendy, and with the fullness, direction and ‘complete’ sound of a produced album. Producer Mako brings something extra to the CD as the Master of Tiny Sounds – a creator of music so beautifully intricate and detailed that it instantly stands out as something unique in an age of beats-by-numbers, making this mix step beyond the usual compilation.
The new Mixed Business release is a seductive mix that brings together the funk of Edwin Starr, with the schmooze of Kenny Hawkes, the gospel of Nat Adderley, with the modern soul of Amp Fiddler with a whole lot of sonic exploration in between.
Catch Simon Caldwell and Mako tonight at Honkys. Entry is $10 on the door.
