Steve Aoki came to South Africa… we went along to the JHB show on 3 April… it was so awesome!
Andrew Mohawk, T-Bone, Caryn Paryn and Number 1 and I all rolled through… we ran into old friends, we drank, we raved! Steve played some awesome tunes, some African tunes and some really weird tunes…
Photos after the jump!

So everyone that comes here knows that I’m really bad at doing the regular blog thing and I always have these “catch up” posts… Here is the latest one! I just trawled through some old photos I got off my camera and this is what I remembered… (read it after the jump!)
Tjoppies (a.k.a Nico) (right), Andrew MoHawk (left) and I (centre)… being badass (once again)!
Study, study, study, work, study, Bloemfontein (punk as fuck), driving home, study, study, study, study, study, work, players… that’s pretty much been my last couple of weeks. Test week at varsity is over, exams are around the corner, and I seem to have a work ethic. Weird.
Nearly There!
The drive to Bloemfontein on Saturday 3 October was about as exciting as the drive back to Pretoria on Sunday 4 October. Actually the drive back was more fun as we played some good ‘ol games of “I spy with my little eye” and some others I can’t remember off hand. The “festival” that we made the trip for was dusty, filled with punks and was actually everything I had hoped for. Nico and the team from Libery Valance rocked out… quickly, but rocked out none the less. Lungs filled with dust and drizzle, my homie MC was kind enough to “show us around” and took us to the Mystic Boer… hilarity ensued, pizza was eaten and smack was spoken. Good times.

The second grand thing that has happened to me has been a sudden new found love of Tom Collins’. Greatest drink ever! I mixed some up at T-Bones braai on Saturday. They were enjoyed, too much and no one took photos for you to see. As a consolation prize, I managed to take this great snap of a nasty bug that was running around that night.
Pretty gross!
I have also taken the liberty of sharing the Tom Collins recipe I got off of Wikipedia:
Tom Collins IBA Official Cocktail
Type: Mixed drink
Primary alcohol by volume: Gin
Served: On the rocks; poured over ice
Standard garnish: orange, cherry, or lime
Standard drinkware: Collins
IBA specified ingredients:
Preparation: Mix the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup in a tall glass with ice, top up with soda water, garnish and serve.
Drink it!
I’ve been eating loads of these awesome noodles. Go buy them, they rock. The Chinese shop where my tofu comes from sells them (Yat Kee Chinese Supermarket, Maroelana Centre, 27 Maroelana Street, Hazelwood). Add a little ginger to the mix as well for maximum awesomeness.
Thats all for now,
Rick Disco, over and out
^5!
dirtyoldman, Andrew Mohawk, Caryn Paryn and I
Dirtyoldman and I have been bringing the chop back to the clubs the last month, playing as the banging electro duo “dirtyoldDisco”! It has been totally awesome to see how our hard hitting style of electro gets the floor asking for more! I’ve put up some photos from the last three shows we played. Thanks to all the people that took them, you know who you are

I was reading my blog posts on this site today and I have to apologise for writing some really boring drivel that is really boring boring the old man is snoring. So I have ended that. Rad.
I got sick last week, throat infection or something and it was totally badass. I spent a few days in bed being lame and watching series and sleeping and taking photos of my dogs – they were hanging with me in my room.
I captured Abbie in the middle of a yawn… She looks badass here, but is actually really sweet.
I finally read Moxyland (it’s been on my shelf since my birthday in March) and I have to say that Lauren Beukes is one talented author(ess?)… go to Exclusive Books tomorrow and have a look at the book, read the back, want to buy it… and then go home and logon to Kalahari.net and save a lot of money and get it delivered to your house.
I watched some weird movies as well. Surveillance is directed by David Lynch’s daughter Jenny, ’nuff said – It’s violent and awesome. IMDB says it’s about: “An FBI agent tracks a serial killer with the help of three of his would-be victims – all of whom have wildly different stories to tell.”. It got a crap rating there, but I rickommend it. Tonight I watched Public Enemies with Kid Caryn… What an awesome film! It is shot incredibly well, has a great story, is about bank robbers and is based on a true story! WIN! Go watch it! If you don’t like it, your opinion is wrong.
I will be putting up some photo’s from the past few weeks worth of gigs that the dirtyoldDisco have played at sometime soon.
Stay tuned.
Rick Disco, Over and Out!

So it’s been a very eXtreme past few months with a lot of crazy busy things going down! So this is a “bring you up to date” post…
It’s been so quiet up in here because of a damn thing called university… it’s been keeping me so busy that there just hasn’t been enough time to do a lot of other things. I did get to build some cool electronic stuff for this project of ours, so it wasn’t too bad!
Woah! A wireless receiver!
Want to hear more? Rest after the jump!
