Last week I posted up a sound clip of the boys from Young Men Society with their latest rework track. Today they just dropped the video to it filmed from the iconic Anzac bridge in Sydney. Check out the clip below and Like their page!

The boys from Young Men Society, Josh, Nate and Andi are back at it again with a Jhene Aiko rework of her track ‘The Worst’. Although the self written song by Aiko was surrounded with doubts of it’s success when she first released, it still managed to come out with the Centric Award at the 2014 BET Awards.
Check out the track below which is also available for free download, with the classic YMS sound, currently on my playlist. Looking forward to more releases from these guys!
Some more local talent with some new releases, although I don’t know if we should refer to Serg as local talent as he’s being working with a whole bunch of artists form the states for years. Now I don’t know if we should refer to him as an upcoming, local artist because I know for a fact he’s been an undercover achiever working colabs, producing beats and mixing down a heap of tracks for other artists who some of you may be very familiar with. I first met Serg, or as some people may know him from his past alias Don Dolla, at clubs gigs atleast 5-6 years ago.. I also did a photoshoot for him for the clubs which I vaguely remember!
Anyway, his latest track is with Shade Sheist, who you may know familiarly from the famous Westcoast anthem ‘Where I Wanna Be’ feat. Daz and Kurrupt.
Sergio features on the track with the talk box work he’s famous for and has kept the true westcoast feel with this track. Check it out!
The homie Lazy J just dropped the music video to his latest track ‘Flexin’ featuring Young Men Society, and within 3 days since it’s release it’s already hits 4,500 views on YouTube and is already getting airplay on The Edge 96.1 and New Zealand radio! Check out the clip below.

For those following my Instagram or DJ Xcentrik Facebook Fanpage, you would’ve seen me post a photo of what’s said to be one of the Top 10 buildings in the world, dubbed ‘The Living Mall’ that is the all new Central Park Sydney.
Sydney’s New Downtown. Live, work and shop at Central Park, Sydney’s new downtown destination where a global collaboration of architects and artists have created an exciting urban village.
Central Park has been built, designed and engineered by only the World’s Best which explains why it is one of the top ‘Skyscrapers’ in the world albeit it’s minimal levels. Not to mention their extended high-speed WiFi throughout the precinct it’s quickly becoming a central hub, for young shoppers and uni students from surrounding campuses.
There are many high tech and environmentally friendly solutions that have been built around the building itself and its surroundings, many of which I’m still yet to get my head around, but Central Park is not just any ordinary Shopping Mall, but an all-new and quickly growing community-focused centre aiming to take you away from the hustle and bustle of the Sydney CBD.
With this, I’d like to officially and proudly announce that I’ve been approached by Central Park to come onboard and manage their music inhouse, ambience, as well as assist in driving this through their social media channels through various marketing campaigns and events. It’s a new role that’s been created and will be starting it all from scratch due to launch soon! I’ll be working closely with the team at Central Park to help get it all underway and get the community involved. I can assure you, there’ll be something for everyone, even if you’re not physically there!

A couple of weeks back, I entered a simple Facebook competition (those who follow me on Facebook would be aware) that was held by Store DJ in collaboration with UDG Gear to celebrate their Facebook page getting 20,000 Likes! Congrats guys!
All I had to do was explain in 25 words or less what I would buy and what I would do with it. A week later I received a call from the Store DJ HQ in Melbourne notifying me that I’ve won the runners up prize! This was a big excitement for me as the last time I won any sort of prize was in primary school when I won a Gameboy (which I still have to this day) at the School Fete!
So I’m not gonna tell you what my winning answer was, my inner mind screams out CHEEESEEEE but what I can do is tell you what I won!
Thanks to UDG Gear I won,
UDG Laptop Stand valued at $179.95
UDG Creater 120 CD Tank Case valued at $95.00
UDG Creator Wheeled MIDI Controller Case 22inch valued at $339.00
That’s a whopping total of $613.95 of FREE gear! Now just like you all, I’m a sucker for freebies, but as grateful as I am to have won all this, I have to be honest and admit that unfortunately I have no use for these prizes.
1. I’ve already got 3 laptop stands that all do their job well enough and barely get a chance to use them as it is.
2. I don’t use CDs at all (I carry a few backup mixtapes and Serato Control CDs totaling maximum 5-6 CDs that fit easily in my DJ backpack)
3. My Pioneer DDJ SX is way too big for the roller bag and I already have Pioneer hardcase for this.
So, yes these are all useless to me. I called up the Store DJ reps who advised me they can’t be exchanged for store credit as it was actually promo products given by UDG Gear. What to do? Straight to eBay and Gumtree it was, and although the Laptop stand sold quite quickly there’s barely been any interest in the CD Wallet and Controller bag, so if anyone reading this is interested in some brand new UDG gear at a bargain price, let me know! Perhaps if I hold onto the bag long enough I’ll put a video review together for those interested in purchasing.
