So about a month ago I discovered a super cool little vintage fashion store here in the suburb of Coolston. And I love it so much that I decided to make them a special rock 'n' roll "mixtape" I guess you could say. Big shout out to Apryl and the crew at the peppermint twist store thanks for being so rad and inclusive ✌️💥👩🏻‍🎤 Be sure to check them out on the corner of Ferry and Ensors Road in C...

A rad wee mix I made for my friend.

Hey beautiful humans, here’s the live recording of my set at my first birthday celebration. Mad props to Lummox, Galaxy Bar and all the lovely peeps that came down and had a boogie. Catch ya on the flipside, CG0 💥👩‍🎤😘🌈🦄

To quote Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons “Oh what a night.” After having such a fantastic time playing DiscoBee/DiscoTech back in ANZAC weekend I was super stoked and totally honoured to be asked to play the GAAAATEZOOONE at Winter Solstice Ōtepoti || Dunedin 2025. Apparently in previous years GAAAATEZOOONE was a smallish renegade kind of vibe in a small gazebo but this year they upgraded it to...

On the Friday night of the April 2025 edition of DiscoTech a.k.a. DiscoBee I had the honour of playing the 9 PM set. The crowd at the festival was super lovely, chill and friendly; and despite not being a home crowd I received many kind words about my tunes. So if you like ElectroClash, Disco, House, Glitch, BootyBass, Indie Rock, Grunge, Psyche Rock, self deprecating lyrics and everything in betw...

On Friday, 7th March 2025, I had the absolute honour to open Hide Club in Otautahi, Aotearoa for Audiofreq, presented by Rinsed and HDR. It was a long time between club sets so I was super psyched to play some hard, loud, cheeky techno! Enjoy!! Peace, Crash.

Dr Hitchcock - Drain U - Single Release Show - (Nirvana 'Drain You' Rework) by Dr Hitchcock

Check out my love letter to Nirvana with this rework of 'Drain You'." Mad props, love and respect to Kurt, Dave and Krist for making such amazing music. Your sound is an integral part of my life and for that I am incredibly grateful. Like what I do? Flick me some cash yo!! https://ko-fi.com/crashg0thic

My good friend Kerry asked if I could play her birthday party. Fresh off a banger of a gig at Obie's I thought "hells yeah!". The brief was upbeat party vibes so I played the likes of Justice, Bowie, Gameboy/Gamegirl, Haiku Hands, Soulwax, Uffie, Duck Sauce, The Rapture as well as one of my own towards the end. Party on yo!

Last Saturday I had the honour of playing tunes at my very old friend Obie's 40th birthday party. We've known each other since youth group days in the mid-90s and in fact I started DJing youth group discos a couple years after that. We're both quite different people in many ways these days but we still know how to party 🫠 Little did I know it but James Curd was headlining! This makes it the secon...

Remember surfing the World Wide Web, downloading your first MP3, illegal warehouse raves, reaching for the lasers, Smart Drinks, Jolt Cola, and who could forget the brown acid... DON'T TOUCH THE BROWN ACID. "Return To Cyberia" is a musical homage to Douglas Rushkoff's 1994 book "Cyberia, Life in the Trenches of Hyperspace". In it he pictured a psychedelically connected Earth via Rave culture, Gaia...

Woop woop! On this show I played: Artist - Song Dr Hitchcock - Dark Lorde 8888 feat. Ben Johnson Phillipi - 9000 Red Axes - Some Lights Carl Cox & Fatboy Slim - Speed Trials on Acid feat. Dan Diamond (Riton Extended Mix) Tiga - Mind Dimension 2 - 2022 edit Unloved & Raven Violet - Turn of the Screw - Erol Alkan Rework Wet Leg - Too Late Now - Soulwax Remix LO'99 - Acid Worldwide - "XY" Remix Benja...

After 25 years of DJing Dr Hitchcock, aka Benet Hitchcock, has released his first original song “Dark Lorde 8888”. A dark 303 acid bassline and spacious 808 drums drive the listener on, as melancholic keys from the Microfreak encourages them to look around. Before too long a distant voice shares what we’re really here to do. Dr Hitchcock describes his new track as a “Stumble-trip through the dark...

This is one of my first mixes since the big move to Naarm and is dedicated to Cuppo; a cute little cafe out the front of Brunswick West Workshop, a studio and co-working space. This set features songs mostly of a psychedelic groove and includes the likes of Tame Impala, Melody's Echo Chamber, Flyying Colours, Mod Con, Mermaidens, Jefferson Airplane, Bird Nest Roys, The Sundae Painters, Jeffrey Lew...

This set has a real sense of rhythm and groove. The start relies on sophistication and attitude with beats and pieces bridging the middle. Harder beats come on after that with a real feel of that mid 2000’s Electroclash vibe. Towards the end Prog makes itself felt and the whole set is book-ended with some big 90s house. Can ya dig!? Listen in for the ear candy!

Kia ora! In these mad crazy times what else can you do but make a happy wee song that tries to bring people together. We ask all to help Ukraine anyway they can: https://war.ukraine.ua/support-ukraine/ Aroha nui, DJ Daisy & Dr Hitchcock

In this my first DJ set for 2021 I'm continuing to play tunes in the same vibe as I did in 2020; there's plenty of Electro, House, Techno, Acid and Indie remixes.

Friends and whānau, new and old, braved the Ōtautahi cold for some funky beats, 80s steez and modern classics. Markj aka Mr Soundfood snuck in from Melbourne, Australia while the travel bubble was open and treated us to a truly Dr Hitchcock style set, Tom Cosm smashed the floor with some funky house and disco, Pinacolada Soundsystem brought the true 80s vibe to the night and I played what I usuall...

Life begins at 40 so I celebrated my birthday in style at Smash Palace. Friends and whānau, new and old, braved the Ōtautahi cold for some funky beats, 80s steez and modern classics. Markj aka Mr Soundfood snuck in from Melbourne, Australia while the travel bubble was open and treated us to a truly Dr Hitchcock style set, Tom Cosm smashed the floor with some funky house and disco, Pinacolada Sound...

Last Sunday I had a blast hanging with old friends and playing tunes at my 39th birthday party. The first half is rock, the second half electronic. It seems to be a bit of a trend at the mo.
