Five places to download DJ Mixes online
- DJ Greg J: LA DJ who does great mixes of US hip hop with occasional mainstream stuff. Released every couple of months.
- Bang Gang DJs podcast: a group of Sydney DJs including Ajax who do crazy electro mixes. Site not suitable for work.
- The Avalanches Mixes: this site hasn’t been updated in so long it is ridiculous but there is some great existing stuff on there including the top notch Some People mix.
- Beatonic: another site that hasn’t been updated that recently, but again, some exciting mixes already posted, quite breaksy.
- DJ Nick Toth: has some great reggae mixes available including Summertime mix and RnB vs House mix.

I loved Satay Club!! You should try their Indonesian Fried Rice!
If you like Indonesian Food, try to go to Dapur Bali at the Hawken Drive, St. Lucia.. =)
Glad you like it. Thanks for the suggestion. I live and work in the city so I don’t venture out St Lucia way that often but I will definitely make the effort now!
I went to St Lucia tonight but it looks like Dapur Bali has closed down. There’s a hairdressing salon there now.
From one Brisbanite to another: Happy New Year to you and your family!
