Kisschasy

I reminisce fondly about my primary school days when we used to play kiss chasey in the little kids yard and think that it was a lifetime ago. Then I think about the first time that I saw the band Kisschasy play and that too, seems like an eon ago. It's so strange to see that 4 years since I first saw the band live, these guys have grown and matured - from releasing 4 track EPs, to selling tens of thousands of albums across the country and beyond. Not only that but graduating from sell out shows at cosy stages like Enigma Bar and the Adelaide Uni Bar to their own show coming up soon at the generously sized Thebarton Theatre.

Defected In The House: Mixed By Gilles Peterson
Defected/ Stomp


The market has become saturated with house music compilations, causing a deterioration in the quality of releases - it has become a quantity over quality mentality. Fortunately, there are still labels that uphold the ethos of classic house music, with Defected at the forefront, and this is epitomised by their 'In The House' series that has seen house music luminaries such as Jay-J, Miguel Migs, Copyright, DJ Gregory, Masters At Work, and Dimitri From Paris headlining. However, in their boldest and most exciting project, Defected has enlisted arguably one the world's most respected music aficionados - Gilles Peterson - and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
