It’s come to the end of 2013 – I can’t believe it’s December already – and everyone is starting to think about what they’re going to be doing or where they’ll be next year.
New Zealand born producer Amin Payne has had a massive year and yesterday he decided to top off a great 2013 with one last final gift to us all – a free download of his latest tune – a rework of J Dilla’s ‘Don’t Stop’.
For the second year running, join Condensed Milk at The Evelyn to celebrate the life and creations of J Dilla who brought us some pretty damn amazing and inspiring music throughout his lifetime.

I have to admit, I am super sad that ’25 Nights For Nujabes’ has come to and end.
Night 1 did not seem all that long ago, and yet here we are at the end with Night 25. Ta-ku has created such a beautiful series of songs dedicated to the late Nujabes, that I’m sure both will be remembered for a long time to come.
Ta’Ku’s 25 Nights project is worth of truly inspiring and magical moments.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
This next edition of the ‘After Dark Adventures’ is a pretty special one.
2012 has been a pretty crazy year for The 5 to 9 Life. Not only did I get to do some travelling, but I also was introduced to some new Australian talent – musicians, beatmakers, artists, writers, athletes, and the list goes on.
As a writer, I have been lucky enough to interview some of these people that I’ve been introduced to, and so I was very excited to have recently been given the opportunity to interview the talented Ta-ku.
