remember december

                   compliments of Anicka Wintles fine phone photography

Ah what a weekend stereosonic has brought us, wrapped up nicely with tiesto playing silence, a big bottle of gatorade, glasses conceailing every parents nightmare, and a lovely few days of scatting out and reminiscing about the international acts that stole away many a brain cell. However now the cunning hunters are finally back to work after a well needed break, and will start once more to feel up your itunes with juicy new tracks.

This week we'll be presenting to you some cool new funky house, and a taste of the our latest collection of tracks to be played every saturday night at the newly refurbished havanna on oxfrod st. To check out the event copy and paste the following:

Fist up a song that has a great eighties psychedelic feel about, brilliant to blaze to.

Feel It All Around.mp3

Peace.

Louder than ure mum on scat day.

We haven't been posting as much as we should in recent weeks and for that we are sorry. But we have been scouring the web for some amazing dub beats, and as always we have found and now its time for us to deliver.

Enjoy some dub step.

 First up is another Amazing Flux Pavillion Remix, on a freestyler song called crack truely worth having a listen to.

Point of no return

While one half of the Cunning Hunters remains strolling around the deep summer nights of europe, the other half has returned. I must apoligise for the lack of blogging in recent weeks, however the likes of Amsterdam, Paris and London clubs have opened our eyes to whole new world of sounds. After returning a few days ago i have instantaneously transformed into an misanthropic monster, locked away in my room with a computer, keyboard, and recently purchased bleton. After DJ'ing for soo long, the Cunning Hunters have finally taken their next step and joined the rest of keyboard punishing comunity.

However for those readers who do not believe me, I have included a sample of one of many songs that has stolen my life away. Although it needs a lot of work, and is not yet worthy of a backroom of all backrooms it will have to do.. for now.

p.s. If you have tracks tucked away on a computer in your basement that you've never found the time to show someone, or simply wearn't man enough, please email the cunning hunters at thecunninghunters@gmail.com, and let you, help us, helping you.

Preview of one of the Cunning Hunters first tracks (hopefully to be fully released in the next few weeks)
drop out.mp3




and thankyou for staying tuned..

EUROPE. . . .

Ladies and Gentleman the Cunninghunter's are of to soak up the summer's sun in the northern hemisphere, so no posting till the later weeks of july.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

no doubt

There is no doubt in my mind that one of the following songs will send shivers down your spine. After a music filled relaxing weekend away, the cunning hunters have rummaged together a number of delectable new tracks in anticipation of our gig at 'le panic' situated in kings cross this coming Friday (the 18th). This will be the third time we have played this event, and look forward to smashing through some new deep, nasty, and deliciously spine tingling music. The below tracks will offer you a mix of old school and new school drum n bass and progressive/deep/hard house. The last track discovered by a friend of ours, will surely wheel your mouse over the rest of the songs we have to offer you today. enjoy!

good old school

Enjoy them people and remember to keep watching this space for your music needs.

You've got to be original, because if your like someone else, what do they need you for?

It seems to be that every day someone, somewhere, decides they want to become the next big DJ in the world. We have come to face the fact that it is getting easier and easier for pretty much anyone to accomplish due to technology i.e. better Mixers, CDJ's, Computer programs, MIDI controllers, EFX machines whatever you can think of its turning digital and getting easier thanks to technology.

So at the end of the day what the fuck separates us from the other's you ask?

Our own unique music collection and how we pull it all together in a set. It's pretty much as simple as that. We believe that we are begging to master this so in recognition of this fact here are some fan fucking tastic songs which everyone should have to enjoy: 

Organ Donor Extended Overhaul.mp3

Some Chords Vs. Let It Rock (Chuckie INOX Festival MashUp).mp3

Show One Love (Hardwell Bootleg).mp3
My Sanctuary (Original Mix).mp3
All This Night (Club Mix).mp3

..a time for tech

                                           (created by Sally Gottlieb)

Unlike education, Procrastination is a beautiful thing for the world of music. Itune's sits comfortably between your word document and that black and white website, and soon music has stolen your attention. That repetitious website on Australian history and politics has soon mistakenly turned into hype machine, and before you know it, new tracks are pouring into a play list labeled 'hectic new songs'. As uni winds downs, major essays wind up, and so the blogging begins. This week we decided its time show our viewers some long awaited tech. There is a lot of tech out there, ranging from the minimal sounds of Dubfire, to the more engineered sounds of our personal favorite Dusty Kid. Anyway, here's a list of tracks acquired through timeless blogging, and grand theft USB from friends computers (mainly Dom's):

 Merdan-Taplak-Metisse-Kill-Frenzy-Remix.mp3

Not Fair (Style Of Eye Remix).mp3

a2_dusty_kid_-_cowboys.mp3

Moby-DiscoLies(TheDustyKidsFearsRemix).mp3
(old classic opening track) 

Dusty Kid - Lynchesque.mp3

059 Grindhouse (Dubfire Terror Plane.mp3

Dustin Zahn - Stranger To Stability (Len Faki Podium mix).mp3
(will make your balls drop if they haven't done so already) 

Style Of Eye - The Prophet.mp3

Mike Snow - Animal (Style Of Eye Remix)-Nicenoiz.pl.mp3
(mike snow is cool enough as it is,  but style of eye makes him just that little but cooler) 

14 To The Point.mp3

After listening to Above & Beyond's latest podcast (#321), next week will be devoted to trance - A world so unexplored by public acceptance. But we will make sure by the end of the blog you will be bowing down to the euphoric sounds that truly bring to question: sex or music?

Another night sneaking drinks behind the decks.

This time it was for a 21st at a very cool house in point piper. This was seen to us as a good chance to try out some newly acquired beats that were blasted through some truly monumental speakers.

These new tracks included some fresh funk and heavy house, with some really cool break downs. We have been trying to acquire a unique sound that is recognizable by the people and will continue to delve into unknown corners of the music world to bring you the finest beats that we can get our grubby, greedy, needy hands on in order to achieve this. :)

Overall the set went down a treat, without a hick up and the dissipated sways of the crowd provided us with affirmation of our new audible anthems.

But please let us know what you think:

02-DirtyBeats - Whats Happen.mp3

05-DirtyBeats - Alone In The Jungle (Tom Piper Remix).mp3

Cicada-One-Beat-Away-Arno-Cost-Remix.mp3

Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone (Francis Preve Remix).mp3

Yang - Original Club Mix.mp3

And why not throw in a few bonus drum n bass tracks for those who read as far:

04-sub_focus-last_jungle.mp3

Basement_Jaxx_Feat._Yo_Majesty_-_Twerk_(Sub_Focus_Remix).mp3

And yes bartlett we are the night and we put our honest efforts in to educate the public.

"I shall have the strongest on the menu, infact make it a double"

Music that listens to you.

Dubstep, dubstep, dubstep... Since 2005 this genre has subtly emerged from the shadows and crept into clubs, car stereos and our increasingly bulky cd wallet. And it keeps on getting better. Sure there is a lot of it, and some of its bound to creep down the wrong alley i.e. oxford art at some late sets but nonetheless there is some fucking cool stuff out there. We,The Cunning Hunters are into the cleaner dubstep (that still sounds like its been left in the sun for a week), with trancy peaks and progressive break downs.

Enough talk, here are some tracks that should blow your mind:

you used to hold me (nero remix).mp3

Sincere (Nero Remix) iLovEalekireland.blogspot.com.mp3

if your not into the above track, then you should not be listening to dubstep

Shock! (Nero Remix).mp3

walk right by you.m4a

innocence.mp3

The last song really will shake what ever is between your legs,
..and yes, nero is the man

So it is now April and the sun has sunk beneath the summer fun, but with autumn comes new music and this month has pleasured us with some great new drum and bass. With the help of a friend and hype machine, itunes has had a healthy diet of fast paced uplifting beats, that were just made to be played unnecessarily loud, even if that meant winding down those car windows and attempting to educate the public.

This first track comes from a guy named Mato Lenicky aka B complex from Slovakia, who has been sitting in his lab cooking up some pretty dope stuff since 1996. Anyway give this track a go:

B-Complex - Beautiful Lies

B-Complex_-_Beautiful_Lies.mp3

The second track is just as good, possibly better with its chilled acoustic intro which soon shoots into a fast paced version of cruel intentions and drum n basses first child. definitely worth a download, and makes a wicked car trip cruiser. if this is the London duo's credits, i would love to see the movie.

Chase and Status - End Credits

09-chase_and_status-end_credits.mp3



And last of all, a track that once dominated most every one of my play-lists is this classic track by Matt Harvey and Evan Short, better known as concord dawn. They make a variety cool D n B and are definitely worth checking out.

Concord Dawn - Morning Light
(computer refused to let me upload this)



Festival Season was kicked off with Future Music Festival 2010 which started and ended with a variety of cool new age progressive tech, uplifting euphoric trance, and rough drum n bass. My all time favourite artists Above and Beyond lived up to their name, while the likes of Sven Vath (who unfortunately ever only produced one cool track: Sven Vath - Spring Love), Dubfire and The Prodigy blasted pleasurable sound waves across the chaotic 40,000 people crowd. So be prepared for we love sounds and Creamfields as they should both be festivals worthy of the growing Sydney electronic music scene. I leave you with a video a guy named The Maneken, who has gone and taken dj'ing to the next level, leaving the rest of us with our tales stuck awkwardly between our legs:




(I urge all to take a good look at this)

A mix and some really, really good songs : )

They are here for your enjoyment, so please play them as loud as you possibly can!

Need To Feel Loved (Adam K & Soha Vocal Mix) - Reflekt

The Cunninghunters 1st song ! ! ! ! (it's pretty damn good)

Well ladies and gentleman what better way to start ones musical career by chopping, mashing, editing and crushing someone else's hard earned work?

We thought we might give it a go and here it is the 1st Cunninghunter's Remix.

Be Her At The Baltimore Love Parade (T.C.H. Remix).mp3

ANU OWEEK ! ! !

A trip down to Canberra for their annual toga party proved to be a very messy/enjoyable/interesting night. ANU put together a raging party full of Greek attires and alcohol suppliers, that both started and ended with a bang. Sound and lighting was again impeccable with lasers, smoke and more lights then you could poke a stick at streaming over the chaotic crowd, wrapped in sheets and spilt drinks.

Our conventional set from 9 till 12 took us through the usual genres, beginning with reasonably chilled progressive house and then quickly moving into the classic's once the crown had loomed.

Over 2000 people turned up to the event which was centered around our stage, making it impossible to escape the relentless crowd. This was our most satisfying gig to date. As the members of st Johns and Burgermans (not sure this is correct) college absolved their dignity and let loose on the dance floor we sat back and enjoyed the best view ANU had to offer.

As St Johns College theme song was Memories (the lrycis had even been written on posters within the building), David Guetta proved to be a big success. As per usual our final song was dancing in the moonlight by Toploader which always proves to be a popular and soppy final track. Below are a few of the songs that helped build up the crowd, and that we strongly recommend you download if you have not already done so:

Memories - David Guetta Feat. Kid Cudi

Dancing in the moonlight - Toploader

Because I Got High - Afroman

(la da da da dada da. . .)

Heartbreaker (Laidback Luke Remix) - MSTRKRT feat. John Legend

(never fails to go off)

Kidsos (Wippenberg Remix) - Sebastian Ingrosso

Wippenberg - Chakalaka

(very under rated track, with unbelievable progressive peak)

We are working towards turning the above songs into hyper links so they can be easily downloaded, and hope in the near future will make it to hype machine where our music will be easily accessible.

BlackBerry Schnitzel. . . . .

BlackBerry event that we played at on the 10th.

This event was held on cockatoo island, Sydney Harbour, and is the home of a number of old shipping warehouses. With a great sound system, and promising acoustics bouncing off the antinque machinery and modern lighting, the event proved to be very successful. 

A multiplicity of genres were punished throughout the night, enabling us to play an array of old/new school tracks. However a variety of progressive/mainstream house and old hip hop proved to be the most desirable music throughout the night. This included the likes of Cypress Hill, Adam K and Soho, Calvin Harris, Laidback Luke and Sebastian Ingrosso.

All in all a fantastic evening ! ! - the music selection was everywhere but in the end a few classics definitely got us through, including:

Jump Around - House of pain

Satisfaction vs. Be - Steve Angello vs. LBL

One More Time (Sebastian Leger Bootleg Remix) - Daft Punk

WARP 1.9 (Feat. Steve Aoki) - The Bloody Beetroots

. . .Till next time, The Cunning Hunters

IMMACULATE NEW BLOG.

Well what to say the world? It's actually quite weird writing to the universe as i am potentially doing right now, but having said that i would like to say hello and welcome to the ever-changing ever-immaculate state of eace that the Cunning Hunter's are always trying to portray to the world.

We will be posting up photos and songs that we play from gigs and events around Sydney and hopefully the world on this blog so why not subscribe it might just be interesting.

Feel free to visit us on facebook under the TheCunningHunters, where we have previously posted photos and events, or email us at thecunninghunters@gmail.com

With that I leave you with a quote, and hope that you will make the most of the music we have to share:
