Songs for a One Night Stand.
Simon Caldwell has pushed two decades behind the wheels of steel, spinning everything from house, soul, funk, jazz, electro, hip-hop and techno. He's co-promoted one of Australia's longest running dance parties, Mad Racket, for the last 12 years; tuned thousands of people into underground electronic music on FBi 94.5FM; and played alongside the likes of Derrick May, Grace Jones and James Brown. Tomorrow night he's headlining Picnic's One Night Stand warehouse party, but it's sold out! For those who missed out on tickets, Simon's kindly put together a YouTube playlist. Thanks, Simon!
