Without a plan to do anything other than enjoy the year, coming off a 3 month Australian tour, a studio relocation to a new Permacultural home & mix down several years backlog, 2018 has slipped under the radar in many ways.. So now that the Year of the Dog has done most of its damage, Lazy is happy to step out of his new Attic & get back to bringing his broken beats & bass lines to Soundsystem’s & Subwoofers in any number of possible places..
Reggae Carnival Market Day
In a week its off to where it all began, Sydney’s inner west, for the notorious Reggae Carnival that’s delivered the largest of days to put a smile on ya face that Sydney has ever seen! pack a couple of thousand people inna Yard & see what happens with this ‘Inner West Disco Machine’ driving the sound as epic as it looks with this either side of stage… With the heavy weight acts like Radikal Guru & Parly B alongside ForeignDub & 420 Sound, the lazy set to warm these guys up is about to bring a years worth of new flavours along with the dopest old favourites to the faces on the dancefloor.. There really couldn’t be a better welcome back to the stage environment for the vibe these events bring to the Dubwise community! Much respect to Foreign Dub & their instigation inna hood, its as vital as it is Ital… Jah Bless https://www.facebook.com/reggaecarnivalmarketday
Jungle Love Festival 2018
Takin a back step like the beginning of it all those years ago, Lazy will be back behind the Turntables & out in front of his ‘Subway Soundsystem’ running his usual antics as the Jungle Boogie stage takes Jungle Love Festival to not just a new location but new levels of world class producers to soak up over the weekend. This being the 4th year that our presence is required to provide sound & vibe for the infamous Jungle Boogie, its a pleasure to be seeing each year develop sonically & individually with the great crew that is our SEQLD Posse! This is one festival not to be missed! Get your tickets while they last, this edition is bound to be the best one yet! https://www.junglelovefestival.com.au/
2019….?
Well whats install for Almost Lazy in 2019? this is the inevitable question with its usual reply ‘i don’t know, you ask me…’ Musically there is a lot in stall with still a series of releases from the years past & 3 new projects that have almost been forgotten about in the year past lol.. what they are is as equally diverse as anything to date & yet nothing the same .. you can find them all here when the time comes… https://almostlazy.bandcamp.com/
there is talk of tours to NZ in Jan/Feb & further to UK/FR & maybe the USA in July-Sept if the world hasn’t fallen apart from political pole shifts by then haha…. nah but seriously… the odds are slim..
What we can hope is that our little family of epic visionaries can maintain our existence waking each day to the sounds of nature & tending the lush edible gardens we’ve created this year. With our existence on Solar Power & Rainwater, studio sessions are filled with the ethical quality that creates a new kind of Karma within the music itself. Add this to a years worth of inspiration that hasnt been translated into sonic form as yet, the poetic nature in the way Lazy writes his music is about to reach another level of unique… Stand by… Stand Fast
