By now, poxymusic is a name that should mean something to the club-going individual. The combined talents of two famous (in Sydney, anyway) DJ/producer dudes – Pocket and Ken Cloud – poxymusic has a long list of musical credits to its name and lots more still to come. With Pocket as the self-confessed tech-nerd-slash producer-and-DJ guy and Ken Cloud being the promoter-slash-DJ-and-producer guy, poxymusic are like the kings of remixes in Australia. They’ve done so much remixing, they practically own it.
Going back to the beginning, poxymusic – poxy to the cool people – released a reworking of La La Land by Green Velvet. Done in collaboration with breaks wiz Kid Kenobi, it not only caved in heads and dance floors all over the place, it won them the Best Remix gong at 2003’s Australian Dance Music Awards. Since then it’s been solid gold remixing all the way.
More recently they have begun work on their own original work, with the cheeky acid monster Our Break blowing up the airwaves around Australia and their new single She Bites devastating dance floors nation wide.
While the poxymusic project itself isn’t so long of tooth, if you rewind back to before the beginning, it seems there has always been Pocket and Ken Cloud. For over ten years now Pocket has been writing dance tunes (And The Winner Is… as Southend, for one) and playing electrifying live gigs and popping DJ sets when not tinkering in the studio. As for Ken, he started out DJing and promoting in Canberra before bringing the love to Sydney. Having managed Darlinghurst DJ institution Reachin’ Records (RIP) for some time and writing tunes as part of the Dillon Street Rangers, his main contribution to the dance scene these days, outside of poxy and being a dad, is Mad Racket. Seven years and still going strong, this monthly event is sought out by the most discerning and debauched music fiends around. Its list of past and present, local and international deejays reaches to the moon and back… as does the door list.
Flash-forward to today and poxymusic is on the brink of hugeness, both in Australia and overseas. Their remix tally is up past 40, they’ve done a mix CD for Ministry of Sound, and have been rocking their live shows all over the country – and still everyone wants more. In anticipation of this propulsion into musical stardom – the boys from Poxymusic are joining those habitual line steppers from ABC, Fibre Events and Neon Eletrik for a night of sexy, sleazy, dirty beats that, in true September form, won’t be able to be remembered. Come and see why these boys are top of the game on Saturday 15th of September @ Crown and Sceptre. $10 for members, $15 for general public.
