IN THE BEGINNINGGGGGGG

Ok so here we go. The beginning of our remix history and what better place to start than at the very beginning.

Paper Scissors - We Don't Walk (Hey Now Remix)

This was our very first remix and first ever project we worked on as Hey Now. A very sentimental memory for us. This remix had a nice little run in the Sydney scene with both Bagraiders and Like Woah! playing it at FBI and We Love Sounds festivals, which was a huge moment for us. Ajax played it on FBI radio along with some very encouraging words. So encouraging infact....we moved on to our next remix.

Grafton Primary - I Can Cook (Hey Now Remix)

We remember seeing one of Grafton Primary's first ever gigs and we were in love instantly. They are such an epic good band. They turned out to be close friends in the future. This was featured on their online "Relativity" EP. We sampled The Who in this track...see if you can find it.

Pomomofo - Islands (Hey Now Remix)

Crazy cats from Sydney. We actually made their chorus our verse, their verse our bridge and so on. Completely turned it round. It's a fun little flighty track with a slightly deeper bridge. This was also featured on Pomomofo's "In Super VGA" EP.

Now the reason we posted all these 3 remixes together is because it was definately our solid first sound. We have evolved immensely since these remixes but we still feel they can stand up on their own. Alot of you have probably never heard these aswell so you might find a little gem that you didn't know we made.

We were also very young and innocent to the world back then....check it out....

Hansom and Rose DJing at Candys Apartment in Sydney which used to be our residency home for years. Hansom was baby faced and trim, but what the hell was Rose doing? A badly dyed black mullet?? Wow Rose.

Now for our first ever megamix....

The Gaywatch Megamix was also a huge thing for us, gaining us alot of attention which in turn gained us our first ever interstate gigs in Melbourne and Brisbane. Getting on a plane to DJ was such a crazy thing for us at the time!! Now we feel like we spend a large chunk of our lives in airports....the novelty has worn off.

We still love this megamix to this day and still think it's one of our most solid mixes we've ever done. It's a definite snapshot of what we sounded like when we started out and the type of sets we used to play. Have a listen....let us know what you think.

THE HEY NOW GAYWATCH MEGAMIX

Thanks for reading once again. More to come very soon :)

PS - Rose still has 3 gigs left over the Easter weekend on his mega cool Brisbane tour. Go say hi and tell him how bad that dyed black mullet used to look. (Rose is playing a secret set at Monastery on Easter Saturday night....but don't tell anyone)

Peace
Hey Now

A VERY WARM WELCOME

Hi there,

Welcome to the new Hey Now Blog. We figure most people that come on here will basically know who we are but in a nutshell we're a DJ/Production/Artistic Dance group from Sydney, Australia who play a hell of a lot of shows and make a hell of a lot of noise. Allow ourselves to introduce ourselves...

THE GODFATHER

The heart and soul of Hey Now. He was a popular scratch DJ back in the 80's. The Godfather owns you....you just don't know it yet.

DISC JOCKEY HANSOM

There is a reason we call him Hansom. LOOK AT THE GUY!!....absolutely to die for.

THE FAUCE

Our manager. This photo pretty much explains everything you need to know about The Fauce. Yep.....just another day in the office.

ROSE

Someone once described Rose as "A bitter and twisted old man with a black soul". We feel that's pretty accurate...

So the idea behind this blog is to bring you everything Hey Now related. You can find alot of our stuff on the interwebs but it's not always the easiest thing, especially when blogs disappear and the like. This will now be your one stop shop for all Hey Now business. From originals, remixes, mashups, megamixes, live sets, gig info and tour stories to guest spots from some of our close friends and naked photos of Hansom.

So let's kick this baby off with something that alot of people have been asking us about.

The Hey Now Rave was our first party we threw a couple months back at our spiritual home, Monastery Nightclub in Brisbane. This was seriously one of the craziest parties we've ever played at in our career. Here's the proof...

To announce the party we released our 4th megamix, The "Hey Now Rave" Megamix. 52 songs in 49 minutes. We received alot of nice press and responses on the mix, thanks everyone!! We also received alot of messages demanding the track listing. So finally....here is the track listing that you probably have already figured out by now!!
