Top Notch Sets; Mattt & Tomas

Last month saw Top Notch rooftop party debut on the Home roof terrace with some very speical local and international guests. Luckily sydneylovestechno was there to record the action and I'll be releasing some of the sets over the next couple of weeks.

To kick things off with the first set post of 2010 below is a set from local duo Mattt and Tomas who played early in the afternoon. Dishing out their mixed style of funky, bassy tech-house and some lighter techno tunes for the afternoon the two young-guns have firmly established themselves in the techno DJ scene in Sydney, holding a residency at Chinese Laundry, where you can often catch Mattt on warmup/closing duties, as well as playing numerous times at Spice and Bunker. Perhaps one of more well known names in techno for their age group in Sydney, their sets are often grounded around more techno and house rhythms rather than prog-house like many of their older counterparts. A great set, stream it or download it below.

Next Top Notch is this Saturday the 9th of January, with Claud Von Stroke and a raft of local artists.

Top Notch Rooftop Party (with REBOOT & Emerson Todd)

Top Notch Rooftop party series continues with its second instalment, this time featuring ex Sydney man Emerson Todd visiting from Europa as well as one massive international who I can not name but will definitely surprise and delight many! Locals will include Robbie Lowe, Matt and Tomas, Trinity, Dave Stuart and more . As for the international I will say he is bit of the techno man-of-the-moment....

Q:For those who haven't heard of the Top Notch rooftop parties, explain a little about what inspired you to put them on and the location of the party.

The Sydney clubbing scene is very much all similar with its dark and dingy little clubs pumping out heavy tech house and techno, so we looked to create something a little different to spice up the Sydney clubbing culture. We wanted to put the focus on daytime entertainment with the main draw card being the sun. In essence we wanted to create a bit of the Ibiza daytime parties right here in Sydney. We have created a party like no one else's, having some of the best in Local and International Dj's in some of Sydney's hottest sun filled venue's.

Q:I hear there is a rather large international headlining alongside Emerson Todd, can we get the first scoop?

The International head liner with be released to the public on Monday 7th of December!

UPDATE: Reboot will be playing this Saturday for an afternoon set under the Sydney sun.

Q: Will there be more Top Notch parties in the future? And any hints as to who may be playing?

TOP NOTCH will be running once a month and will be having its residency at Home Rooftop for the foreseeable future. All monthly parties will feature massive international head liners alongside some of Australia's best local talent!
