Selections For All Occasions—DJ Mixes by Brendan Clay

I'm still smiling ear-to-ear following my set at S*A*S*H, this morning. I've played some really enjoyable gigs over the last couple of years, but this one, in particular, was incredibly special and will be held dear and remembered very fondly for some time indeed! A special thank you to Cris, Matt and Kerry for the booking: for having faith in me, to hand me a prime slot; and to the many happy fac...

Well, here is my recorded set from 'Sly Fridays' on Friday night — well, Saturday morning, to be precise — hosted at 'Slyfox' in Newtown. I played the closing set of the night: from 3 AM, right until closing time at six. Without too much of an idea of what I was going to play; I threw caution to the wind a bit and pulled out a selection of disco, house, some chunkier, deeper drum-driven stuff and...

Well, the dust has settled on what was a truly brilliant afternoon and again, that the rain proved absolutely no match for the positive vibes and energy that was S.A.S.H. — on this occasion, The Chapel Edition! I really enjoyed myself, playing a selection of my current favourites — as well as a few other selections from deeper in the box from yesteryear. Of course, it was made all the more pleasur...

Here is a new mix from me; another entry to my 'Main Room Live' series, and it's been a very, very long time between drinks — the first in the series, was a pumping tech. house effort back in 2010. In constructing this mix, I tried to encapsulate my ideal warm-up set for a theoretical evening. It's eleven o'clock, the opening set has concluded and the intention is to keep the dancefloor warm and c...

Whilst many members of our Sydney scene were revelling in the frivolities at Subsonic, I had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing at SLYFOX's weekly Saturday shindig, Foxlife! Supporting the insanely talented, YokoO (@yokoo) alongside Sydney stalwarts, Jordan Deck (@jordandeck) and Mark Craven (@markcraven), I opened up shop and warmed up the evening — just the way I like to do so — playing some de...

Happy new year! Here is the latest – and rather long overdue – addition to our Sound Of SPOiLT mix series. This mix demonstrates how our sound has morphed considerably since our inception four years ago. It's a very fun-filled disco-driven mix, perfect for supplementing your pool-side Summer afternoons! Hope you enjoy! ;) --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Popart ft. Baldwin Blaq - 'The Spell' (Miguel Campb...

Here is a new promo mix from me, replicating my recent set at Chinese Laundry, on Saturday, 1 November – supporting Subb-an (UK). The night followed immediately after the sold-out, highly-anticipated Garden Party featuring Sasha along with a fine selection of quality local support acts. Naturally, following an event of that nature, I tried to keep the tunes going in rhythmic style – and was blesse...

Here is my recent set at Crane Fridays - from Friday, 12 September – supporting homegrown progressive house legend, Luke Chable. The idea of this set – at least from my perspective – was to create a bridge between the more accessible, laid back Friday evening sounds usually heard at Crane on weekly basis, to the tougher sounds of progressive and tech, played by supporting act, Matt Clay, and Luke...

Behold! My set from S*A*S*H – from Sunday, 17 August – is now up and available... Naturally, I was absolutely stoked to have been asked to play at arguably Sydney's biggest weekly event, which boasted a star-studded local line-up and included the bookings of Alex Flatner, Sean Patrick and Nox. What's more, the S*A*S*H boys were been kind enough to give me a very generous three-hour set, opening th...

Here is my recent set at 'La Famiglia', from Saturday, 28th June, 2014. I warmed up the night with the opening set in the main room, alongside Sydney stalwarts James Fazzolari, Aboutjack, Shepz and Ben Ashton. La Famiglia is - quite clearly - the standout weekly event in Sydney for house and techno music, playing tunes to packed crowds every week! You can check it out every Saturday, at The Burdek...

Here is my latest promo mix, created under our 'Sequential' banner, a brand and night spearheaded by Ben Shields @djbenshields, Dave Rogers @dave-rogers-music and myself. After our successful launch night - featuring Chymera - last year, our fingers are itchy and we're looking ahead to our follow-up night. Find us on Facebook at http://www.sequentialsydney.com/ This mix was also featured on Andrew...

This mix is a recording from my opening set at our launch night for Sequential, in May 2013, featuring Chymera (Dirt Crew / Cocoon / Ovum), at The Civic Underground, Sydney. Was definitely one of the more enjoyable sets I've played - particularly over the Klipsch sound system at the Civic! Hope you like it, too! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Matthew Herbert - 'It's Only' (DJ Koze Remix) [Pampa Records]...

This is a live mix recording, completed at Square Bar - 389 Pitt Street, Sydney - during October 2013. The mix contains a lot of the current deep house and nu disco tunes of which are currently tickling my fancy. Hope you like it! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Arise - 'How I Like It' (Original Mix) [Fresh II Death Records] 02 : Lessovsky - 'Sinking Feeling' (Danke Remix) [Union Jack Records] 03 : Fabry...

Hope you enjoy! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Miguel Puente – ‘Baby Gurl’ (Original Mix) [Akbal Music] 02 : Miguel Puente & Bastard Love –...

I thought I'd start making the most of the new Soundcloud account options, by making available some of my favourite mixes from yesteryear. This is a little taste of some of my most cherished prog. and tech breaks tunes from over the years, completed sometime during 2009, if my memory serves me correctly. Hope you dig this one! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Nik Karagua ft. Legolath - 'Never' (Vandal Mix...

This is a direct recording from one of my recent gigs, playing SPOiLT Fridays at V Bar, in Sydney, on 22 June, 2012. The mix is taken from the earlier part of the evening, and contains a number of deeper selections - some older, some newer. Hope you enjoy! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Felix Cage ft. Lazarusman - 'Love Again' (Max Duke Remix) [Electronical Reeds] 02 : Claude VonStroke - 'Aundy' (DJ Ver...

This is a promo mix made available for SPOiLT's debut drum 'n' bass venture, hosted on on Saturday, 7 January, 2012, at V Bar. It's a short, sharp mix of a few tunes that I was digging at the time, and were likely dropped during the marathon five and a half hour set in the Cocktail Lounge. Hope you enjoy! --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Luca - 'Saint Bond' (Original Mix) [Hospital Records] 02 : Q-Project...

This is a "teaser" mix that I compiled in preparation for 'Plastic: Neon Tribe' - a gig for which I'm very lucky to be booked! I'll be playing on the evening alongside John Ferris, G-BANGA, Qu-Zen and Mark Craven (to name just a few). Hope you enjoy this offering!

This is a live mix, recorded at 'Sundaes' (Sweeney's) on Sunday, 28th March, 2011. Was very pleased with the crowd response - even despite the unfortunate weather! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did on the day! ;)

This is a mix completed a couple of years ago. Wanted to take the listeners on a bit of a journey through the progressive sounds that I'd been enjoying at that time, and also in years gone by - so naturally, expect a few classics in there for good measure. --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Herrmann & Kleine – ‘Leaving You Behind’ (Original Mix) [Morr Music] 02 : Ulrich Schnauss – ‘Nobody’s Home’ (Original...
