After the fun of DJing at FECKNO! in Bondi Junction, my girlfriend, friends and I made a spare of the moment decision to head into the city and go check out Josh Wink<\/strong> at Chinese Laundry, not knowing what flavour of techno\/house music he was going to play. Much thanks to Quest and his sexy new car.<\/p>\n Once Josh Wink<\/strong> started up we were very happy we’d made the effort. For the first hour and half he blended up a fantastic mix of funky, hypnotic, minimal, techno grooves, featuring lots of Alex Under sounds\/type-sounds. The cave\/room had space to groove and move, with the right amount of people to create a happening\/friendly vibe. I think a lot of the ‘usual’ type Laundry crowd don’t ‘get’ minimal, so they’re kept entertained by the party-house\/electro-house in the other room.<\/p>\n I didn’t get a good look at what Josh Wink<\/strong> was using to mix, but imagine he was using CDs with CDJ-1000s as there was a lot of looping going on. **<\/i><\/strong> He would often use a looped section of one track to bring in the next track over the top. He never really let tracks reach their break-downs, so the continuous beats\/grooves and hypnotic cycles of sounds had a great dance-floor intensity. It reminded me of the vibe Richie Hawtin<\/strong> created when he last played in Sydney, layering up loops of parts of tracks.<\/p>\n I only recognised a handful of tracks Josh Wink<\/strong> played\/looped, which is how I like it. Some train-spotting…<\/p>\n \nFriendly People (Alex Under)<\/strong> – Music Is Improper There were also some Jacek Sienkiewicz<\/strong>, Donnacha Costello<\/strong> sounding productions as well, I may be off the mark on those though.<\/p>\n We left as he started getting into more harder, louder, head-smashing, old-school techno\/acid sounds, heard a Hardfloor<\/strong> track amongst that. I think he was mixing up an old, banging Robert Armani<\/strong> track as we headed out.<\/p>\n Reports on ITM about ‘The Future Music Festval’ where Josh Wink<\/strong> played earlier during the day\/night, said he played a lot of old, well known, techno classics, and older tribal-techno. I’m glad we got to hear his minimal side.<\/p>\n A fun night out.<\/p>\n
