It finally seems like Sydney's entered Summer. To commemorate the good weather and sunshine vibes, I thought I'd upload an old mix. Perfect Summer is designed for putting on as you drive to the beach or relax on the sand with a cool pina colada.

It's probably one of the last mixes that I did on turntables with all original vinyl, back in 2007. You can even hear the crackle of dust under the needle in the opening refrains of Solar Stone's Seven Cities.

Anyway, download Perfect Summer (or stream it) and get out in the sun while it's still here!

1. Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Solaris Heights Mix)
2. Kings Of Tomorrow - Finally (Rulers Of The Deep Mix)
3. Orinoko - Island (Alternative Dub Mix)
4. Graham & Blades - Funky Summa
5. Plan B - #2
6. Nalin & Kane - Beach Ball (DJ Icey's "The Sea" Mix)

Opening Titles for Web Directions South 2011

Another year and another great Web Directions. Of course, for me, Web Directions isn't complete without frantic late-night coding sessions in aid of completing a madly inspired conference-related project.

Another year and another great Web Directions. Of course, for me, Web Directions isn't complete without frantic late-night coding sessions in aid of completing a madly inspired conference-related project.

Last year I created the Web Directions 2010 opening titles in 3 days from start to finish. This year I gave myself a little more time but made it no less ambitious by expanding the production onto 2 screens; thereby requiring it to run on two laptops simultaneously. (And stay in sync!)

With the number of things that could fall over – browsers crashing, projections being out of sync, people hating it – my nerves were ringing right up until I hit "play". Luckily it came off without a hitch, and you can see the results in the video of the performance below. (Or if your computer's feeling adventurous you can check it out in your browser.)

SlashGlobe: A 3D CSS experiment
27 July 2011 | 2 comments

See the neon-spinny-3D-globe experiment

The third dimension isn't my strong suit; I'm fine with pixels but not with voxels. To start combatting this I thought I'd have a play around with the 3D CSS transforms that are available in the latest Webkit browsers (Chrome & Safari; sorry Firefox!) INSERT:CONTINUED:END

What I set out to achieve was a neon-spinny-globe thing and I pretty much got there. I even managed to throw some Max Headroom aesthetic into the mix.

This experiment comes as-is, with all sorts of browser exclusions (and is best viewed in Chrome), so don't bug me if it doesn't work for you. Otherwise, enjoy the neon spinnyness.
