Hottest 100 of ALL TIME...

Triple J Hottest 100 of all time ended on sunday... It has so many great artists in it. I'm going to leave you with a review on Triple J's website about the winning song.

The song that revolutionised music. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ began life as a Pixies pastiche and grew to embody the impotent rage of a generation. A tidal wave of incendiary riffs and Kurt’s coruscating rasp, it catapulted Nevermind to the top of charts around the world before ultimately becoming a millstone around the singer’s neck, often dropped from sets or performed discordantly.

Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna once spray-painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his wall following a conversation about anarchy and punk. Unbeknown to Cobain, she meant he reeked of then girlfriend Tobi Vail, who wore ‘Teen Spirit’ deodorant – a product aimed at American girls with sparkly teeth and purdy hair; not exactly Nirvana’s target audience…

With disquiet at their fame already gnawing at the band, they gave an interview on triple j that presenter Jen Oldershaw thought was so bad she almost deleted it. The band wound up their host, fired back monosyllabic answers, talked randomly about sex with Pavarotti and made armpit jokes while Kurt attacked a mic socket with scissors.

They offer up one prophetic insight. “Can you seeing yourself combusting in a couple of years?” Jen asked. “Um… Who cares?,” Kurt replies. He did, though: on April 8, ’94, the singer’s body was found. He’d taken a shotgun to his head. Rock ‘n roll history was changed, forever.

Dmassssssssssiiiiivvvvee!

Dave Cole AKA Dmassey, an underground experimental Brisbane music producer. It would be hard to comment on his style of music, because he listens and makes so many different genre's. As he is a Uni student, a lot of productions are left without release or even finished. I have been working with him ever since i met him and feel it is time to share some of his tunes. So Free Form's Blog will be here to help shoot his stuff out for people to listen!

Have a listen to his music, and keep an ear out in the future.

Recent Interview with DJ KAOS;


Hi Kaos, whats poppin' Dawg? ( Lodown Magazine, June 09 )

All good T, thanks! Just have a million things on my mind at the moment. Fuck, I just wanna go and board or something but I'm pretty much stuck here right now. It's cool though, my LP is edited and ready to go. Some singles coming out here and there. Yeah, when this is done I plan to spend my summertime in Portugal! My homeboy Tiago is out there, the beaches are beautiful, I'm gonna get stoked and surf all day! Eazy man, you're free this summer come out and join in the party...



Where have you been last night?

In the arms of a beautiful lady. Seriously, where are you spinning records these days? Well, I'm playing quite a lot around Europe right now. It's great 'cause the distance between cities is short. USA is different, it's crazy to fly from NYC to Cali in 6 hours or something to one gig and go back the next day with a crazy hangover. I'm glad to live in Europe. Berlin is good, great parties, late nites and all that. There are kids partying from Thursday till late Sunday without sleeping. Insane, I can't do that anymore...



What's the flavor of the month?

Good question, dude! Being able to be in Berlin and finish the record, thinking about titles and artwork, being creative about stuff like that... cruise my bike, since we had some beautiful spring days recently. This kind of stuff keeps my head free and positive. Hang with a nice lady! Make plans! Have fun!



What do you think of laptop DJs?

Gay stuff, not for me.



Would you call yourself old school?

Yes! Open minded old school! I'm ready for the music... I wanna hear more timeless sounds, there are too many short-lived things around. Some are already gone after one weekend, I dont like that... I don't wanna play music like this to the kids, they should know where it's coming from.



Which labels are you juggling with?

Well, right now my 12" "LOVE THE NITE AWAY" on Rong, DFA has just been released. And the reactions are pretty damn good! The "ITALIENS DO IT BETTER" Ep is also ready to go and will be released in June, under the name "MUCHO SWASH EP" (collab with dj partner Tiago/ resident at LUX club Lisboa). "REKIDS" will release another Kaos track called "HARD TO EARN" with an Killer "SHITROBOT dub mix", hopefully there will be promos in June! And the small but very stylish label Astrolab (home of Pilooski), just released " FLACO RYTHMO ". An unreleased mix I did for "CHK CHK CHK" !!! Yep, pretty busy ...the Lp will be out after the summer, but im still dealing with the labels. Lets see, everything looks pretty promising...



Tell me about writing music for the forthcoming album.

Well, I wrote the whole record in a place called Starnberg, that's near Munich. A beautiful place, nearby the Lake Starnberg. We worked in an old farmhouse. Then I moved all my shit back to Berlin to finish the recordings with Jochen Schmallbach ( producer of Tiefschwarz, M.A.N.D.Y etc ) He has mad skills when it comes to production, mixing and all that.



Taking Drugs?

Quit.



Talking Heads?

Every day.



Whats comin' up?

A beautiful LP.

If you would like any other information on KAOS head to DFA Records
