Nic Fanciulli..

From humble beginning in the town of Maidstone in Kent, UK whiz-kid and 2007 Grammy nominee Nic Fanciulli has quickly and firmly established himself as one of EDM’s key players and most revered talents worldwide. Renowned for his skills in both the DJ booth and the studio, he’s a veteran of multiple acclaimed mix compilations for Renaissance and Global Underground, while his co-productions (as both ‘Skylark’ and ‘Buick Project’ alongside Andy Chatterley) and solo works have regularly achieved ‘Essential new tune’ status and been hammered by the world’s leading tastemakers over the last few years.

His own label ‘Saved Records’ (which burst onto the scene in 2004) has played host to the likes of Zoo Brazil, Paolo Mojo, James Talk and Audiofly, and has earned a solid reputation as a steadfast seal of quality. With countless top shelf residencies to his credit and an international tour diary that reads like an airline pilot’s itinerary, Nic Fanciulli is a prodigious DJ and Producer who’s well on the way to achieving electronic music infamy long before many of those ten years his senior.

ICE CREAM MONDAY - Episode #12 (Yew!)

ICE CREAM MONDAY

‘Making life a little more delicious, one week at a time’

Today – The Magnum ‘Ego’

!!ICE CREAM -- THE SOUNDTRACK!!

Lets just get this straight - Normally this sort of thing wouldn’t fly here.
Ice Cream Monday is not about to get stale and start running repeats this year and having been to Magnum town just last week, it did seem a little soon to be coming back. But there’s just something about the Ego…..

The beauty here is really in its simplicity.

Think back to a time when Drumstick ruled the Ice Cream world…. The Magnum was around, but it was just chillin’ out doing its ‘vanilla on a stick’ thing….
Then came Ego….

The part of the mind responsible for the mediation of the conscious and unconscious and developing a persons sense of personal identity.

Do you think streets have psychoanalysts on their product development team?

Guest reviewing this week, the surly old man in training and tortured artist, Mr. Tim Snartt.
If you haven’t already, now would be a good time to hit play on the NYPC.

Nothing like a good underscore for Ice Cream reviewing!

“The Ego really is… just awesome.
It’s a delicate symphony, each well-crafted part from the milk chocolate outer shell to the vanilla backbone playing a subtle yet integral role in the overall experience.

Almost prince like, eating an Ego takes you to a place where you feel like the King of Spain”…..
At this point I believe Tim lost his mind and began to drift further into oblivion, however the overall understanding amidst the crazed rambling was positive.

The Ego really is the bomb – an escape for the everyman, a piece of timeless indulgence, and a cornerstone of the late night selections.

Next week will be a bit of Christmas special, and not in the VH1 Top10 before Two10 kinda way.
As always, keep the suggestions for the Delizia Summer Special custom flavour coming in – check their website out at DELIZIA

And in the spirit of sharing – hit this one up as well –
WOKINABOX - WIN A YEARS WORTH OF ICE CREAM!

if you win the year’s supply I’m taxing you a month though!

MC Gaff E!

Here's something fun, wild and weird that is well worth looking at! Welcome to MC Gaff E.....!

Our story begins when MC Gaff E escaped the semi-rural wonderland of Brisbane Australia to seek her fortune in the big sleazy world in 2006. Landing in London she met Peter Kirk (The Outlaws), who suggested she become his spandex wearing rude MC. Inspired by this fun idea , MC Gaff E recorded her first five tracks with Thomas Bullock (of Rub n Tug) in his studio in the woods upstate New York in 2007. From there, she began rapping around Sydney, gradually expanding her gigs all around Australia then taking her show all around the world. Upon her travels, she met and collaborated with Brazil's Edu K, Sydney club king Kid Kenobi, Germany dance punk duo Digitalism and most recently, the legendary Horse Meat Disco transvestites, Jonny Woo and his crew of colourful freaks.

Performing all over the festival circuit non stop for the past 2 years, MC Gaff E and her DJ Drugmoney, have played major festivals including Glastonbury, Big Day Out, Bestival, The Big Chill and (Amsterdam's) Valtifest. Also playing renowned parties such as Broken Hearts Club in Berlin, underground disco jams run by Ed Banger's Mickey Moonlight and History Clock's Nathan Wilkins and Modular parties in both New York and London supporting KIM (The Presets), Lady Gaga and other rising stars.

So now is the time MC Gaff E and Drugmoney have returned to Australia from their most amazing European summer tour yet to release their spectacular debut album “Slug Being Sexy” produced by Thomas Bullock (aka Tommy Knockers). The album is a tour de force of punk disco electro rap and available NOW on itunes. So go for it and embrace the weird and wonderfulness of what is known as MC Gaff E and DJ Drugmoney's trannylicious technicolour psychedelic circus.

You can catch MC Gaff E and her colourful band of freaks in Sydney at the Ksubi/Picnic New Years Party at Gilligans, Field Day and the Big Day Out.
