This Tokyo Getaway release from Melbourne’s Polygon Palace has been doing the rounds for a few months. It’s a bit of fun, Grafton Primary style electro with slightly less posturing. Bunch of gigs coming up in Melbourne too, check them out.

I noticed in the remix pack a tune by someone calling themselves Tornado Wallace. Turns out he is none other than Lewie Day, one of Melbourne’s more enigmatic house producers. He pops up here and there, plays everywhere from cheesy Sunday house clubs to full on doofs, sometimes makes bleepy low-slung house, other times makes deep electro, other times makes bang0rz and now makes silky, down-tempo french-touch disco. Cool guy. I wonder if he’d be my friend if I lived in Melbourne still.

Polygon Palace – Tokyo Getaway (Tornado Wallace Remix)

And an oldy… I’m struggling to find my hi-res copy of it, but this was the CHOICEST Melbourne grown banger of 06/07. Reminds me of Louis Epstein jeans and my housemate’s psycho ex-girlfriend who used to walk around in a big t-shirt with no undies on. Simple times.
