Benny

Benny I am 18 years old. Started djing at 14 and going to clubs around age 11. BMP duties include: Getting beer for Simon at supperclub. Making sure Websta doesn't hold down all the conversation or start thinking he is too amazing. Clandestine meetings with Scott at the Big Macdonalds. Documentation of Ninja's party lifestyle. Arguments, visits to Detroit and the odd mix with Mick.

Roy Ayers hot or not

Roy Ayers hot or not

All the Ak based BMP members were in attendance for Jazz/Funk legend Roy Ayers’ gig on saturday night.  I don’t know if the others have much to say about it. 
 
Instead of a review here is a hot or not as I am at work and don’t have time.
Hot:
Nearly beating the ninja at ‘burnout 3: takedown’ [...]

Uk garage in the free jazz bean bag

Uk garage in the free jazz bean bag

So I headed up to BMP towers this weekend to record my Stinkfinger podcast which is now probably overdue. I was somewhat hesitant having let loose a large quantity of beanbag beans over Lelo’s record collection on my previous visit. This time I managed to spill (white!) wine over Websta’s uk garage collection [...]

Happy birthday

A quick post to say happy birthday to my sister Pip!
I am lucky enough to have a sister who loves good and interesting music. To celebrate here is Cecil Taylor!

Tomorrow I’m at supperclub again for the second week in a row, more house, techno and dubstep to warm up the evening.

Frustration and addiction

Frustration and addiction

These last 6 months have been frustrating as fuck for me! Saving, traveling, being broke, and having my records and turntables all packed away have combined to make it an extremely disjointed year in terms of record purchases.
This would be easier to bear if it wasn’t so easy to monitor all the great and [...]

A formative mix

A formative mix

While Websta’s update took us all back to the halcyon days of the late 80s my influential LP is somewhat less memory taxing, emerging in 2002. Not only that, it isn’t even an album, nope, it turns out an influential record for me is infact just another mix cd.
I’m not sure what you were [...]

It isn't house but it is a thing.

It isn’t house but it is a thing.

There are some things on in Auckland this weekend.
Tomorrow night (friday 15) I venture into the rain to play at the supperclub on Beresford square. I like supper - despite having a dodgy rep (thanks mainly to the antics of late morning up all night mentalist partygoers) it is generally a relaxed place where [...]

Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Live at Daikanyama Unit 11/7/08

Moritz Von Oswald Trio - Live at Daikanyama Unit 11/7/08

I feel like stinkfinger is sitting comfortably between the ramblings of a group of friends and a slightly more professional music blog - so I don’t have any problem with diverting immediately from the topic at hand and dialling back the night a few hours.
We start the night off at a resturant with some excellent [...]

A few words on my trip to Womb

A few words on my trip to Womb

So Saturday rolled around and it was my first chance to go out clubbing in Tokyo.
As I mentioned before Johnny D and Guido Schneider were to play, and I was pretty excited about the night. Daniel and I warmed up with some (actually pretty decent) burgers and wandered into the flashing lights and general [...]
