A beautiful instrumental back from the discodemons.net days. a bit of long one but great to drive or chill to
Default 80s montage included. Plenty of digging to be done online and on hard drives for these classic from over 10 years ago

bookmark_borderLil Wayne Playlist
I am first to admit I was not a fan of Lil Wayne to start with. maybe his best was yet to come. 20 years ago Pablo from work gave me the hot tip and my good friend Neil was always telling me about this song called John (still not my fave sorry). Later on Camo and Curtis were pumping “Steady Mobbin” one night. sick. Lil Wayne starting to skate was hilarious but he got decent, so i had to eat my words. He teamed up with Shane Heyl on “Hello” another great rap/rock mix which does not get enough attention. Get into it
bookmark_borderRush Junior High N.O.R.E Superthug Winny Hazle Bodyboarding
one of the most under rated VHS combos coming out in the early 2000s for booging videos. Rush Junior High and Transition combo. I think it was $30 from what I remember
music and surfing next level but failed to hit full potential due to a flooded market of quality videos. I rated it. i hope others in boog land feel the same
this clip features some vintage Dave Winchester. A far cry from his current NMD boards and dad duties. He was bright Custom X bat tail, fluro hydro techs, peak wetsuits and random hair dye jobs. this embodies clip my first viewing of watching winny surf at GOB and Aus Tour comps at Kiama Wedge. he was new to the scene and absolutely killing it, turning heads and putting old heads on notice
Jason Hazle aka Hazelhoff another ripper in this clip. Hazle has long departing the boog scene but a strong presence on the world tour. Rumoured to have won the lotto, involved in the art world and last seen driving off into the Vicco wilderness in his Hummer.
Here is the clip of this duo shredding and full clip of N.O.R.E’s Superthug

bookmark_borderGABS Sydney 2024 Beer Festival
Below is a few of the best of for myself as Gabs Sydney this year. My girlfriend Nicole and I try and go every year, but have had a break with the kids being too young. It was awesome to take our friends along for the evening session and show them a great time. Well the event and brands did that job
Games
The local boys from Seeker had the mini bball on with some good one hand left shots towards the end of the night. I beat my girlfriend to 10 but not 20 lol
Buckettys had pinball machines which included the Avengers and and Elton John one. Any free pinball is good right. Mini pool tables were a novelty as well. I did try their Smores beer with a marshmallow in it, very unique but not my style
Reckless had a game where you tossed a fake dog poo onto a board/hole. Won a free taster of Red so pretty stoked with that
Beers
With a mixtapes of beers including, XPAs, Reds and Pale ales. Below are the brands indulged in
Reckelss Brewing, Balter, Five Barrels, Curly Lewis, Prickly Pete, Bentstoke , Buckettys, Behemoth, Sundowner, Sailors Grave Brewing, Black Flag Brewing and Barons Brewing

Best Festival Beer
Number 72 on the Special Taps. Not usual type of beer but really enjoyed it
Your Mates Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta a while stout at 8%
The prominent presence of natural vanilla beans adds a delightful sweetness without overpowering the beer’s overall balance. Caramel and toffee notes from the malt provide a comforting sweetness, while a gentle touch of roasted malt imparts a subtle complexity. The interplay of malt sweetness and vanilla is harmoniously balanced, with just enough bitterness from the hops to provide a clean finish. The flavour also carries some burn from the alcohol, enriching the complexity and depth of the taste.

Food
While I didn’t indulge myself with any solid food. The chips aka Hooleys waves were off the chain. They gave unlimited samples and when they packed up for the night they left massive packets of their gear. Salt and Vinegar was the best.
Outside Gabs Sydney Food
Emperors Garden Bakery on Dixon St
You can’t go wrong with this place. Super squashed inside and standing room only. The BBQ Pork Rolls are the go to. Hefty in price at $4.90 they are worth their weight in gold. With the sweet bread and sweet pork meat combo. A must purchase for granddad looking after the kids at home
Make sure you check this event out, support the brands and get involved for next year’s it’s an awesome, well organized event with short beer lines haha

a bit too young to be involved in this action. would be sick if acts could still do this. a bit of sick techno for ya. love the midro
bookmark_borderGLC featuring John Legend – Pour Another Drink
Chicago town. I am sure there will be plenty of Kanye on this blog but we will keep it on the simmer for now
Originally from the song spaceship from Kanye’s first album “the college dropout”.
GLC stands out for me. Not to be confused with the Goldie Lookin Chain. His deep, clear tone makes you listen.
This track is from his only studio album, produced and featuring John Legend. GLC might be up the top. But definitely on my hit list
bookmark_borderItalo Disco!
I am not sure how this genre of music hit my radar. but me likey.
February 2014 saw Ken Lazlo – Hey, Hey Guy ran so hot on my Blackberry it caught on fire. By August 2018 on a trip to Port Douglas for a friend’s wedding Valerie Dore – The Night was cooling me down. Somewhere in between this clip was uploaded and it was magic. The random European nightclub with the camera pesting everyone up and great combo of songs.
For a while they removed this video and just had a random thumbnail, not sure why. It would have had double the views for sure
Other noteable mentions is Scotch – Discoband
bookmark_borderRAAVE TAPES – I Will Let You Down
Newish? From Newcastle? Yeah, almost, December 2022 is when the youtube clip was put up. 15th of April 2023 is when it hit my Shazam. The southbound trip home from work always produces the goods with Triple J. Windang Driving Range is usually when it kicks in. Tons of fun from this one. Clip is sick and I rate it. Struggling to get into thier other songs. But time will tell on that
The comment below nailed it with my thoughts. maybe a incy bit of Grafton Primary in there as well
bookmark_borderMetallica – Seek & Destroy
I must admit I was not a Metallica fan till my late teens. Subjected to Enter Sandman on RAGE and Year 7 school discos, it just wasn’t for me at the time, The Unforgiven II just made me more confused. Thanks to Macca and Digs for trying. Fast forward to my late teens Whiplash entered the scene used in moto and booging vids. It was fast and sick. The doco Some Kind of Monster hit it home for more and Frantic psyched me up. I can hear the Metallica fans sharpening thier pitch forks.
Fast forward to COVID times of YouTube Autoplay. This lands in my ears. It kind of reminds me of Dead Kennedys – Police Truck. Fonts of the album used for the logo this very website.
bookmark_borderSomething Corporate – Hurricane
Let’s go pop punk! from an epic boogin’ DVD from the Waldron Brothers, Chad and Kane. Focusing primarily in Hawaii the section has Crashy, H Dixon, Port Boys, Crowley, Buntos. Personally the piano solo in some Jono waves sells the song and section for me
