@ Mad Racket, Marrickville Bowling Club: Marrickville Bowling Club by day – Pulsating, thumping, nightclub by night. Pokie machines at the back, DJ at the front, Marrickville Bowling Club is home to Mad Racket, featuring Sydney’s leading DJs of all things electro: Simon Caldwell, Ken Cloud and Jimmi James. It’s a quality event put on every month or so with a devout legion of regulars.

Saturday night saw Detroit artist Brendan M. Gillen, or Ectromorph take to the stage. The unusual feature of Mr. Gillen is the fact that he works from a laptop for his set, doing live editing (although for all we know he could have whacked on a CD be checking his email.) Working off a laptop gives him a lot more control and creative freedom, usually working from no less than four sources at a time. It was a solid set of tech-electro goodness with some breaks, deep house and even rock thrown in for good measure.
