Rush Hour Records has developed a strong following through its activities as a retail shop, distributor and a highly regarded record label over the past ten years. In essence, Rush Hour has dedicated itself to developing and supporting the music it loves.

Aardvarck in the mix

To celebrate ten years in the business, the Rush Hour team touched down for 3 shows in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney and I was able to check out the Sydney gig – albeit briefly.

To my chagrin, both Recloose and Aardvarck were at the controls in the two spaces, indoor and out. Whilst Recloose was having a fine time of it playing some early Drexciya and some middle-aged Moodymann, it was the sounds on offer from Aardvarck that had me moving my feet, especially the old Carl Craig numbers he spun – most enjoyable to hear that material out, especially in Sydney.

The Rush Hour flavour was certainly in full effect, and it was a real shame that the Future Classic gig was such a disappointment for me – in hindsight I would have skipped it, and headed straight for Sydney Uni.

Now.. did anyone find any 58mm lens filters? No? Didn’t think so… dammit.
