October 20th @ Bedroom Nightclub! Goldcoast

As most of you know … 1. im a HUGE fan of Dj AM and 2. im horrible at writing things in these situations… but my man Matt Gc got the words so right that i thought i would just take his blog post.

“This sucks, majorly. AM was the first, possibly only, rockstar DJ. He created the  ’anything goes, cross genre mash up’ sets. He was a talented turntabilist, commanding reportedly up to $35, 000 a gig. And he did it all whilst boning hot hollywood celeberities. What a hero.

Without AM, we may never have had the balls to try cross-genre mash-ups.. So here’s to AM;  We here award you the title of The Real Rock N Rolla.”

his final tweet was
“”New york, new york. Big city of dreams, but everything in new york aint always what it seems.”

Earlier in the week i caught up with Jesse Kuch from timeOut to do a little interview. Check it out

Hey, Angelo, Tell me a bit about how Stomp The Nard started?

Basically, when the first Stomp the Nard kicked off it was just a chance for me to DJ, Montaj to MC and a few mates to dance on the Esplanade. But we got such a huge turnout for the first event that we decided to really take it seriously. I personally feel like there is a huge hip-hop and urban community in Cairns and that it needs an event like Stomp to show everyone how positive culture can be. Behind the scenes, it was me putting the majority of the event together and Montaj helping with MC’ing. Away from Stomp were all one big family.

How is the Cairns hip-hop and dance scene at the moment? Is it healthy?

The scene is purely amazing. I’m originally from Melbourne, but I’ve lived in Cairns for just over five years now and to me, this place has a bigger scene than Melbourne does. I mean you got ThreeSixFive crew, who deserve a major shout out, they even got into the top 100 in So You Think You Can Dance. Then there’s Stylin Techniques, AMAJ, Evident Supercrew and heaps more.

Which crews are taking part in this instalment of Stomp The Nard? Any dancers in particular we should look out for?

Honestly, there are too many to mention in one interview. But for a change this time around we will be giving out some awesome trophies for things like Most Memorable Dancer, Best Crowd Reaction, etc. My favourite from every Stomp has to be Mini Me, the dude has some serious skill and every year comes out with fresh moves. For those who don’t know who he is, check out the stomp website for some memorable moments.

Anything you’d like to say to the punters before this weekend’s show?

Definitely. I can’t stress this enough … show up early! Everyone who’s been to a Stomp knows how quickly the seats get filled and we do our best to accommodate everyone, but it is a case of first in, best dressed. Also don’t forget, anyone can come and battle on the day and there are some awesome prizes up for grabs including an Xbox 360 signed by The Pussycat Dolls.

The whole interview can be seen @ Cairns.com.au
