Episodes
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic x Café del Mar (10th December, 2023)
December 22, 2023 01:31 - 1 hour - 227 MBAttic returned for a summer soirée at the iconic Café del Mar Sydney earlier this month—the balmy weekend was embraced by the sun-drenched ambience of Cockle Bay. As I like to do, I kicked off the afternoon's proceedings, offering a selection of Balearic-inspired flavours to set the mood and tone, in preparation for the more house-centric flavours to follow. (And they certainly did.) I really enjoyed packing and preparing this particular box—which required many a dig for hidden treasures f...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at Stanley's Block Party (October 2023)
November 16, 2023 04:34 - 1 hour - 140 MBFollowing recent sombre developments that our beloved Stanley Street Block Parties are no longer—cheers for that, local council!—we thought it appropriate to pay homage to the fantastic times enjoyed by all, by making available our recorded mix from last month. (We failed to realise it at the time, but it may be the very last Block Party gracing the sacred bitumen known at Stanley Street... at least, for the foreseeable future.) The Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I were handed a prime slot for t...
Brendan Clay - Live at Analogue Discogue at Rekodo Restaurant & Vinyl Bar, Sydney (23rd July, 2023)
August 02, 2023 01:12 - 1 hour - 159 MBAnalogue Discogue is an esteemed hi-fi, vinyl-only event hosted by house and disco aficionado, Norm De Plume. We were invited to join the line-up for its July event: a sun-kissed Sunday afternoon affair hosted at the exquisite, Japanese-inspired Rekōdo Restaurant & Vinyl Bar at Sydney's Barangaroo. Rekōdo's crystal-clear Klipsch sound system sounded expectedly immaculate right throughout the afternoon's proceedings: the clarity and warmth of the system provided an ambient yet immersive expe...
Brendan Clay - Live at Fazz's Birthday at Stanley's (25th March, 2023)
April 17, 2023 22:07 - 2 hours - 281 MBThe big dog, Andrew Fazzolari @andrewfazzolari, blew out an undisclosed number of candles in March and decided to celebrate the occasion with a good ol' fashioned Saturday shindig at Stanley's. The Fazz curated a hand-picked line-up of selectors for the special occasion and generously gifted me the first two hours of the balmy Autumn evening! I entered the venue at the tail-end of, shall we say, a "colourful" daytime takeover that was many hours—and countless beverages—deep, and was greeted...
Brendan Clay - Live at Stanley's (25th March, 2023)

Brendan Clay - Promo Mix for The D&M on Orbital Radio (2023)
April 03, 2023 01:25 - 57 minutes - 134 MBI'm throwing this one up from earlier in the year—a mix I compiled and delivered for 'The D&M', a weekly Friday morning radio show on (the now, sadly departed) Orbital Radio. So, as much as I set out to put together and promised a proper sub-100 BPM slow jam mix for Darcy, this one ended up very differently! I, admittedly, hadn't played too many sweaty, peak-time dance floor sets during 2022, yet, I continue to buy music to suit such an affair, and this mix was the perfect opportunity to sh...
Brendan Clay - Live at Stanley's (9th December, 2022)
December 14, 2022 22:22 - 1 hour - 178 MBThe Fazz and I returned to one of our favourite haunts—and a hidden local pleasure!—Stanley's on Stanley for an all-afternoon/all-night pre-Christmas affair. The entire venue was booked for an EOY shindig by the fine folk at Desk Space—a nearby co-working hub—who, I don't mind mentioning, had personally requested our services, having heard one of our @atticsydney mixes playing during a venue inspection. (Humble brag, sure, but hey, gotta take them where you can!) The seven-hour sesh flew b...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at No Place Like House ft. Art Of Tones (22nd July, 2022)
August 03, 2022 04:00 - 2 hours - 343 MBWe played our first club set under our Attic @atticsydney guise for a little over two years! (Hey, a pandemic might just do that.) For the occasion, we partnered with the fine folk at No Place Like House @noplacelikehouseaus, welcoming seasoned French house stalwart, Art of Tones @llorca, as part of his very first Australian tour. A great booking and an even better bloke! (And, geez, we'd missed the Civic Underground—our home away from home since Attic's inception.) We opened the evening...
Brendan Clay - Mental Health Mix (July 2022)
July 04, 2022 22:42 - 3 hours - 506 MBWhile it's one of the more dramatic titles I've associated with a new mix, it's not without good reason. The process of compiling and delivering this mix has worked wonders for my mental health over the last little while. For the last 20 years, music has served as my primary creative outlet, however; recent opportunities to indulge in the craft or completely immerse myself in a creative project haven't been as abundantly available nor really possible. (Most new parents or those working in ...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - S.A.S.H Lockdown Radio Mix (September 2020)
February 15, 2022 01:39 - 2 hours - 289 MBWatch the entire four-hour effort here: vimeo.com/459221923 --- Over the years, there are very few phone calls that we've enjoyed receiving more than those from Cris at @sashsundays. A large, red, circled calendar date typically follows the conversation, accompanied with resulting excitement in preparation for our next S.A.S.H date. Whether demanding a sweaty, pumping late-night/early-morning shift in The Den, the lower, slower, disco vibes in The Maze, or a sun-soaked warm-up effort at S...
DJs In The Distance 007: The Lockdown Sessions (February 2022)
January 25, 2022 01:23 - 1 hour - 173 MBAs the dreaded pandemic rolls on—and we quickly near the two-year point—we're due for another entry: Despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December 2020; 2021 had a bit to say about that! Accordingly, with no real end in sight, the series continues—now, the seventh entry. (The James Bond edition, if you will.) Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs...
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic presents Tilman at Cake Wines (17th March, 2019)
December 19, 2021 23:02 - 1 hour - 175 MBHere's one from the archives—a live mix that, for some reason, I've never made public. It was recorded during one of our Attic @atticsydney events for which we toured German house and disco maestro, Tilman @tilman. In contrast to our earlier events that stretched long into the early morning hours at the Civic Underground or Harpoon Harry; this event was a far more intimate, Sunday afternoon affair hosted at Cake Wines' Cellar Door—a beautiful venue which is now, unfortunately, no longer. D...
Brendan Clay - First Mix In The 404 Digs with Mia Listening On (November 2021)
November 29, 2021 07:02 - 1 hour - 148 MBMost DJ dads—particularly newer ones—will likely confirm that stealing an uninterrupted hour to yourself to throw a few tunes together becomes a bit of a rare treat. The wife and I have spent most of 2021 handling significant life changes: selling an apartment, buying another one, moving into said abode, bringing a brand new life into the world, settling into our new roles as (human) parents, and all the fun and challenge associated with that—all during a pandemic, no less. Accordingly, opp...
DJs In The Distance 006: The Lockdown Sessions (October 2021)
October 12, 2021 04:06 - 1 hour - 176 MBSo, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—perhaps soon, though?! In any case, despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! Accordingly, with no real end in sight—and hot on the trail of the fifth!—we decided to keep the dust off this format and serve up what is now the sixth entry. Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunit...
Gems From The Attic 002: A Collaboration (September 2021)
September 21, 2021 01:43 - 1 hour - 152 MBPromo Video: https://www.facebook.com/atticsydney/videos/564920698291514 It's that age-old, well-worn cliché: "music is the essence that brings us together". Well, cliché or not, it couldn't be more accurate in considering this offering. The last little period has not been without challenge: the dreaded lockdown—the second coming, as it were. We have been apart, away from the DJ booth, away from the dance floor, prevented from doing the thing we love: sharing our passion for the music for...
DJs In The Distance 005: The Lockdown Sessions (September 2021)
September 02, 2021 23:24 - 1 hour - 188 MBSo, we're not totally out of the woods on the pandemic front—not even close, it would seem. Despite believing we had probably delivered the final chapter of our 'Lockdown Sessions' series back in December; 2021 has since had a bit to say about that! With no real end in sight, we decided to blow the dust off this format and serve up the fifth entry. Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes. ...
Brendan Clay - Live at Altar Danceteria, Attic Sonic Selection (10th June, 2021)
June 17, 2021 09:04 - 58 minutes - 135 MBWe made a big return to Harpoon Harry last Thursday night, waving our Attic flag once more for its 'Altar Danceteria' series—a part of the Sydney Solstice winter celebration. It's probably without saying, but the ol' Harpoon holds a very special place in our hearts as we've created some pretty special memories over the years—during which we've welcomed the likes of Cody Currie, Bellaire and Ethyène to our fine shores!—as is evident by an abundance of offerings populating my Soundcloud accoun...
Andrew Fazzolari & Brendan Clay - Live at The Foxtrot (April 2021)
May 04, 2021 00:54 - 2 hours - 320 MBIt's been a long minute since we've published a mix—that isn't to say that we have spent the last year in hibernation, however. Indeed, we spent most of 2020 plying our trade at a toasty, over-the-bridge establishment called 'The Foxtrot', playing warming selections for a thirsty, seated crowd. When playing gigs at the ol' Fox, and of a similar dynamic in recent time, we've been promoting more slow-mo, lo-fi and hip-hop-oriented sounds—often steering clear of a repetitive 4x4 kick drum—regu...
DJs In The Distance 004: The Lockdown Sessions (December 2020)
December 30, 2020 05:36 - 1 hour - 219 MBHere it is: the final chapter... probably. With a few months delay between the second and third effort; we challenged ourselves to finish the final edition before the end of the year, which meant completing two in a month—and hey, we made it! So, for (perhaps) the final time; here is the write-up and context of this little project, completed during a particularly challenging year for most: Normally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, b...
DJs In The Distance 003: The Lockdown Sessions (December 2020)
December 07, 2020 21:52 - 1 hour - 178 MBNormally, we'd collectively circle a date and eagerly await our next opportunity to catch up—beers, banter, laughs, and of course, the tunes. In this current climate/during this challenging period; said opportunities haven't afforded themselves, so we've been forced to get a little creative with regard to a platform for sharing and consuming music together... and flexing our creative muscles in the process. Enter 'The Lockdown Sessions'. DJs In The Distance. Now, the third edition. We've ...

Brendan Clay - Friday Night Mix (10th May, 2013)
August 23, 2020 23:20 - 50 minutes - 117 MBDuring a recent effort to audit and clean-out some contents of my iMac storage; I stumbled upon an especially non-specific, innocuously titled mix, 'Friday Night Mix (10th May, 2013)'. I'd speculate that this mix was unlikely the subject of any sort of meticulous planning, nor prepared with any sort of intention of public distribution wider than my living room. Whatever the case, I have absolutely zero recollection of it, and it was probably nothing more adventurous nor significant than me ...
Brendan Clay - Reminiscence Mix 002 (Trance Edition)
August 10, 2020 22:58 - 2 hours - 406 MBIf the last few months spent in and out of isolation have offered anything at all; it has been an opportunity to reconnect with older, largely forgotten favourites of years bygone. In that spirit, I jumped on the Facebook Live airwaves with a swag full of trance favourites a treasured era of around ~1999–2007 and—not unexpectedly—was quickly booted due to the ol' copyright detection algorithm. (Cheers, Zuck!) In any case, I managed to record the entire three hours, and here it is. Admitte...

Claymation - Live Breaks Mix (3rd November, 2005)
April 15, 2020 03:31 - 2 hours - 113 MBThis mix is ripped from the old, dusty archives. Indeed, it will blow out 15 candles later this year. I stumbled upon it when trawling through some older storage space and flicked it on because, well, why not? It's very much of the nu-skool breaks variety and gets quite tough and pretty filthy towards its conclusion. This was Claymation—a duo I formed with long-time collaborator and great mate, Gav "Bassboy" Smith. I remember heading down to the studio—rather, the basement laundry—on a l...
Brendan Clay - Live at Cafe del Mar (22nd February, 2020)
March 23, 2020 04:07 - 3 hours - 419 MBA lot can change in a month... While I recorded and delivered this particular set at Café del Mar in Sydney almost exactly a month ago; it feels considerably longer than that. Since this short space of time, there is a collective feeling—to me a least—that we've lost a lot our innocence... on both, a local and global level. At the time, I can recall considering the current COVID-19/coronavirus situation as nothing more than an afterthought, a conversational filler, a punchline. There were...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at S.A.S.H. (12th January, 2020)
January 15, 2020 01:03 - 1 hour - 277 MBThe Fazz @andrewfazzolari and I were kindly asked to open proceedings at S*A*S*H By Day on Sunday afternoon just passed. Despite it appearing to be a smoky—and later, a rainy—affair in its early stages; the show must go on... and it certainly did. We kicked off on the lower, slower, deeper tip, throwing on a selection of sub-110 BPM burners, setting the stage—and warming the floor—for Sondrio, Mo'funk and later... Black Loops! Within this couple-of-hour-long offering, you'll hear a range o...
Brendan Clay - Live at S.A.S.H. (10th November, 2019)
December 05, 2019 21:48 - 58 minutes - 138 MBThe dust has settled on the last few busy weeks, and I'm finally making my recent solo S*A*S*H mix available—a deeper, warm-up effort in The Den, right before The Fazz and I took things big for the last couple of hours. (You can grab that one here: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/andrew-fazzolari-brendan-clay-live-at-sash-10th-november-2019) In delivering this one; I tried to focus on building and maintaining a groove; keeping the room "warm" during the earlier hours, readying it for...
Brendan Clay - The M Shift x SPOiLT DNB Mix (May 2012)
June 18, 2019 03:29 - 1 hour - 145 MBWhere do seven years go?! Seriously. I blew the dust off this particular mix recently... and was very happy that I did! In short, it's a promo mix that I knocked up for our radio show, 'The M Shift' as part of one of our SPOiLT DNB takeover shows. Admittedly, I've not followed drum 'n' bass a whole lot since this era, however; a lot of these liquid cuts still sound very fresh—to these ears at least! Hope you dig it! x --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Cutworks & Julia Marks - 'Clouds' (Origina...
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic presents Ethyène (11th May, 2019)
May 22, 2019 22:45 - 1 hour - 163 MBIt's not every day you have the opportunity to warm-up for your favourite artist... I was that lucky a few weeks back. We were fortunate to welcome Ethyène to our Attic fold as part of his very first Australian tour. Ethyène's sample-driven house and disco original tracks, remixes and edits have formed a significant part of our collections—and, indeed, our Attic sets!—over the last couple of years. As far as I'm concerned; it really doesn't get much better... Accordingly, this was a set ...
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic presents Bellaire (16th February, 2019)
March 24, 2019 21:30 - 1 hour - 134 MBWe've been pretty busy over the last couple of months—more bookings, more dates and subsequently, more recorded mixes! This is one that I really enjoyed putting together and executing. For context, Andrew and I had spent the afternoon cruising Sydney Harbour—literally!—supporting Bellaire at the debut Anchor Events event. That mix is actually available here: https://soundcloud.com/andrewfazzolari/live_at_anchor_2019 After jumping off the cruise—again, in the literal sense—we set things up...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at Attic presents Nachtbraker (2nd February, 2019)
March 04, 2019 22:08 - 2 hours - 223 MBHere is our recent set, recorded live at our Attic event at The Flinders a few weeks back, on warm-up duties for Nachtbraker. Our intention was to get the bodies moving and booties shaking with more rolling, percussive selections from our collective boxes—these actually worked a treat, setting the scene nicely for the expected Nachtbraker destruction! ;) Hope you enjoy this one! @atticsydney @andrewfazzolari @nachtbraker @quartetseries --- : Tracklisting: 01 : Jesse Bru - 'Stay For A Whi...
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic presents Cody Currie (7th December, 2018)
December 12, 2018 21:25 - 1 hour - 114 MBMassive thanks to everyone who came down, packed out and partied with us at our Attic presents Cody Currie event. We enjoyed excellent, positive vibes right throughout the evening—from the deeper, disco warm-ups early on, all the way to the pumping dance floor burners during the early hours from Norm De Plume and Cody, himself! Special thanks also to Carly, Picnic Touring & Events and the team at Harpoon Harry for providing us with our playground for the evening! Here is my solo warm-up ho...
Andrew Fazzolari & Brendan Clay - Live at Toast, Ivy Pool Club (29th September, 2018)
October 15, 2018 21:42 - 1 hour - 218 MBWe've been itching to get this one up and available since that glorious Sydney Saturday afternoon at Ivy Pool Club a couple of weeks back—and here it is! For context, we were asked to open up proceedings at the first 'Toast' event of the season and, despite the grim weather forecast; Mother Nature turned it on for all... so, we responded accordingly. "The Fazz" and I—unofficially waving the Attic flag—took the opportunity to play some of our lower, slower, funky burners and had an immensely...
Brendan Clay - Moods & Melodies (August 2018)
August 13, 2018 06:42 - 1 hour - 190 MBWell, here is a new mix from me: something compiled, executed and delivered, just because... Since we kicked off our Attic project last year; the vast majority of my DJ'ing has been centred around a housier, disco-centric sound—for which Attic is known—for both, our own events and other ad hoc DJ bookings in around town. Of course, we love our Attic sound, however; during this last little while—somewhat regrettably—I've not had much of an opportunity to sit back and relish in some other mus...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at The Flinders (2nd June, 2018)
June 19, 2018 04:27 - 2 hours - 329 MBHere is a fresh new mix from us—and one that definitely gives us the warm and fuzzies! So, our 'Attic' brand as a whole, the music we push—and, indeed, Andrew and I as individual DJs—is often centred around music on the lower, slower, deeper, warm-up tip. That is a label we've always worn with pride. Well, in this instance, our good friend, Flynn—of 'Move 4 Mood' fame—was kind enough to book us for a "peak time" set at The Flinders, and, with that, an opportunity to exercise our tougher, u...
Brendan Clay - Live at Attic presents Laurence Guy (10th March, 2018)
March 19, 2018 22:51 - 1 hour - 142 MBSo, as the dust has settled on our recent Attic event headlined by Laurence Guy—our fourth instalment—I am making available my recorded set from the evening. I opened up shop for the first hour on this occasion, so, accordingly; this is very much a lower, slower effort—105 BPM upwards—though, in doing so, I did my best to retain a lot of the melodic elements that make up our "Attic sound". I really enjoyed putting this one together and kicking off the night in a method that I saw fit—and wh...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at Nights Like This! (14th October, 2017)
November 06, 2017 03:23 - 1 hour - 146 MBHere's a new mix courtesy of the Attic stable from Mr. Fazzolari @andrewfazzolari and myself—a warm-up effort on this occasion, recorded live from our recent takeover for 'Nights Like This!' at Goodbar in Sydney. We were handed the reigns of the upstairs bar for the entire evening, and we invited our new Melbournian friends, Milos and Jimmy from Kyoku Records @kyokurecords to join us! We all played in tandem for most of the night—and, not surprisingly, much fun was had!—and here is the firs...
Brendan Clay & Andrew Fazzolari - Live at Original Vibe, Havana Beach (20th October, 2017)
October 23, 2017 08:27 - 1 hour - 217 MBWe headed over to Manly last Friday evening to spread the Attic deeper disco vibes at Havana Beach Club for the 'Original Vibe' brand @originalvibemusic. We arrived, loaded with plenty of new weapons we were itching to play: new cuts from Folamour's @folamour new album—no surprises there obviously!—as well as Ari Bald @aribald, Cody Currie @1codycurrie, Ethyène @ethyene and Black Loops @blackloops. Despite the unseasonal rainy weather, there was a healthy turnout, who warmly danced the nigh...
Brendan Clay - Live at S.A.S.H. (23rd July, 2017)
July 28, 2017 07:40 - 1 hour - 271 MBHere is my recorded set from last Sunday evening, closing up S*A*S*H By Day: the daytime stanza of the amazingly strong and ever-consistent weekly event. I played right after the day's headliner, Scottish house guru, Jasper James. The crowd—as is always the case with S*A*S*H—were extremely welcoming and certainly up-for-it, and lapped up the unseasonal warmer Sydney vibes with an abundance of smiles! This set contains some driving, melodic disco house vibes, some deeper house selections—so...
Brendan Clay - Live at Foxlife (10th June, 2017)
June 16, 2017 05:05 - 2 hours - 405 MBHere is the recording from my set last weekend at the Queen's Birthday long weekend edition of Foxlife, playing alongside Slyfox resident, Rabbit Taxi @rabbittaxi, Pip Dalton @pipsda and Öncüm Yılmaz @oncumyilmaz. I was handed the closing duties on this occasion—a fresh change and a little different from the warm-up set times to which I'm generally used to!—and played right through 'till morning, finishing at around six o'clock. This particular set features a combination of my preferred mel...
Andrew Fazzolari & Brendan Clay - Live at S.A.S.H. (7th May, 2017)
May 11, 2017 22:35 - 2 hours - 220 MBWell, after a sizeable weekend, we can finally make available our recorded set from S*A*S*H By Day at Greenwood Hotel: Andrew Fazzolari—the other half of Attic—and I, opening the afternoon's proceedings. Of course, just two days before, we'd hosted our second Attic event—with Nachtbraker joining us as our very special guest—so it was fitting and incredibly enjoyable to share the bill with Maurits once again, in the wonderful sunny surroundings of North Sydney on a Sunday afternoon. This par...
Brendan Clay - Live at Peoples Club (21st April, 2017)
April 26, 2017 13:30 - 2 hours - 227 MBHere is my recorded set from my recent Peoples Club debut, playing upstairs in the bar from ten 'till midnight, last Friday night. The crowd — and, indeed, the bar staff — were incredibly receptive and seemed to be enjoying the musical offerings; as was I. I played a bunch of my current favourites, and snuck in a couple from a selection of Peoples Club @pplsclub favourites, too — Andy Hart, Axel Boman, Fouk, Nachtbraker, Lay-Far and Damiano von Erckert, to name just a few. Special thanks t...
Brendan Clay - Live at Apollo Arcade, Vinyl Only (11th March, 2017)
March 17, 2017 06:51 - 1 hour - 216 MBHere is my set from Apollo Arcade at Secret Garden Bar in Enmore, from a few weeks back. This was an incredibly enjoyable set, and a wonderful opportunity to play a complete, two-hour, vinyl only set! I've just managed to compile the tracklisting for this one — which you'll appreciate takes a little longer for such a set! — and, for what it's worth, I generally try and buy vinyl-only releases, too, so there might be some gems in here that might not otherwise be available.
