Santa Claus is coming to AAi!

All the festive decorations have gone up - some say things like 'Wow! This place looks incredible'. Some say 'It looks like Christmas threw up in here' but mostly they just say 'Very Festive!'.

As a little teaser, I give you a picture of Thom looking coy, sitting on Santa's lap. I wonder if he has been a good boy this year?

The Wizardry Mixtape (Dec. 2013)

Starting last month, I began making a monthly mixtape that features what I like to consider "hawt jamz."  Called The Wizardry Mixtape, it features the best in electro, indie, hip hop, remixes, mashups, and other fun stuff.  Of course, I can't help but slip of on my own tracks inside.  Here's The Wizardry Mixtape for December 2013. Enjoy!

Last night went by in a flash, the Guilty Pleasures Festival is now over for another year (probably) and everyone can put away their shameful fetishes until then. I snapped a few pictures - sorry there aren't more but I was reet laggy last night and worried about crashing.

A huge thank you to every one of the 6 DJS who took part in making it such an awful spectacle. You are the lifeblood of AAi and your joie de vivre and can do attitude make it a pleasure to be a part of.

Thanks to everybody who dropped by to point and laugh, without you, we'd just be a bunch of geeks playing in a pixel box.

Love to you all xoxoxox

Don't beat yourself up...

For loving the Guilty Pleasures. Embrace them.

We have six of our DJs embracing the whole concept of Guilty Pleasures this Saturday for our fourth GP Festival at AAi.

Fancy dress is encouraged, I already have my costume and no! I'm not telling what it is. I have my 45 minute set ready with the scary nugget of my own personal rendition in there too. Honestly, my song wasn't even guilty before I sang it, but it sure is now.

You should get there for 12pm slt for Ricco and bring your drinks, snacks and get comfy, cus it doesn't finish until 4.30pm slt with Graz.

I'm trying to be so cool about it but it's kind of hard. I'll be up at the crack of dawn on GP Day itself to theme the absolute shit out of AAi in preparation. I'm excited... hope you are too, Meri x

Featuring...

Ricco Monday 12.00pm slt

Cosmic Beres 12.45pm slt

Thom - 1.30pm slt

Meri (me!) 2.15pm slt

Becka - 3.00pm slt

Graz - 3.15pm slt

A little treat for you from DJ Chris

Chris has made a mixtape for everybody to listen to and download. How decent of him! Chris's Mixtape Holy Moly

You can catch Chris live and unfettered on the first Friday of each month at AAi <3

Guilty Pleasures Festival... it's coming

Wednesday's child is full of WHOA!

Poise Collin's "Think Indie" set on a Wednesday night 1-3pm slt, at AAi seems to have assumed an identity all of its own. She plays indie that makes your heart sing, from all over the world and then links it all together with her voiceovers (faints).

To celebrate the success of her set, she has made a special edition jacket on the "Think Indie" theme and she's offering it free (yes, gratis!) at her clothes shop 'Poised'.

I've taken quite a few photos of it, it seemed a great excuse for Meri glam up and dig out the bad girl image and I also have the navy version of the Reputation jacket available in-store. I wore it all with Poised's jeans which come with a HUD allowing you to choose from a range of colours and stages of beaten-upedness (that so is a word haha).

Go get your fab free leather biker jacket now... what are you waiting for?
