BC/DC RECORD FAIR BRISBANE 2010 (ROUND 2 ) (THE REVIEW)

by Sleeping Monk on Aug.03, 2010, under ALLIES

So, as i mentioned before, i headed up to Brisvegas for the BC/DC Record Fair (ROUND 2 ) to chill with my bro Geoff Blunted (Look out for a Blunted Stylus/Sleeping Monk album coming soon).

Geoff is a pioneer in the local Hip Hop scene starting on the solo tip with the highly acclaimed “Hepetitus” instrumental album. His exceptional production skills were noticed & he became a member of one Australia’s most successful outfits known as the Resin Dogs.

Geoff is a hardcore vinyl collector & a good friend. It’s been years since i’ve been to Brisbane, so Geoff took me down to the infamous record fair to meet his partners in crime.

(Old Man Coalition: DJ Sheep (Bulletproof Crates), Hams (Hype magazine), Sleeping Monk & The 3rd Ocular (Frequency Unknown)

These guys up here i’ve known for a long time. The infamous DJ Sheep has been in the game for about as long as i have. Formally the Australian rep for the U.S. classic magazine “The Bomb”, DJ Sheep has steadily established himself as one of the world’s most respected crate diggers. 

Hams is one of the world’s most respected graffiti artists & all round nice guy. As one of the pioneers of the now defunct classic magazine “Hype Mgazine, Hams is still deadly with a can. Respect to the old school.

Also featured in this pic is my brother from another mother The 3rd Ocular (formely known as Loud’crous). Back in the days, The 3rd Ocular & I had a crew called “Frequency Unknown” We dropped an EP in 1998 but have been down since school. It always good to catch with old peeps. Anyways, let’s get back to the record fair.

(DJ Damage (The Optimen), DJ Sheep & Hams chillin at the BC/DC Record fair)

(Geoff Blunted & DJ Damage (The Optimen) )

( Matty Fresh was in the building)

(Peeps was there early to dig in those crates)

(More crate diggers in the building)

(Lots of Vinyl & a dope venue!)

 

Props to the Brisvegas crew for their hospitality & keep your eyes open for a Sydney version coming soon.
