A Yacht Club DJs Australian Tour 2014 has been announced as the mash-up maestros prepare to drop a brand new mixtape.
Australia’s favourite culture jammers, Yacht Club DJs have allowed the nation’s dancefloors to lay dormant for too long, allowing ‘mash’ to become the potato variety.
That changes this April, when the Ballarat-bred party-starters release the fifth in their infamous mixtape series, Oddity Number 5, along with an East Coast run of dates to go along with it.
It follows the duo’s stint through the UK and US last year; personally invited by Grammy Award winners Mumford & Sons to join them on their Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers, alongside Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, HAIM, The Walkmen and The Vaccines.
After winning international hearts, and no doubt a few brewskies along the way, Yacht Club DJs busied themselves back home, working on their very first original EP. Recorded at Red Door Studio with Woody Annison (Dune Rats, Children Collide and Hunting Grounds), the EP is set for release later this year.
Whether in ‘da club, on ‘da bus, or at your great grand mamma’s retirement home, Yacht Club DJs sure know how to bring the party, with their mixtape mantle already hosting Kleptomania, Demons of Gymnastics, They Mostly Come At Night and ‘Find Me A Macchiato Pronto’, which “literally has it all; from genre to era,” as our Tone Deaf reviewer enthused.
Their latest mixtape instalment, Oddity Number 5 will hit the interwebs next month, a free download brimming with Yacht Club’s fearless repertoire spanning 60s blues, 90s pop, Disney soundtracks, death metal and anything – and everything – in between.
Keep your eyes and pointers to the online world for Oddity Number 5′s release, but you only need to point your peepers below for access to tickets to Yacht Club DJs Oddity Number 5 Tour.
Playing with special guests at venues up and down the coastal border, don’t miss your chance to catch the mash-up maestro’s ever-energetic live show – think of the entire spectrum of musical history thrown into a time machine, brazenly stirred, and exploded onto the crowd in a sweaty mess of recognisable hooks and hits.
It’s nothing short of glorious.
