Track of the Day: Monitor 66 – Triscuits

Wow what a weekend. I had a crazy one. Starting off with the amazing, Friday night was Untamed Youth Round 3. I had the pleasure of djing with my good friend The Duchess, and we had an unbelievably fun time. Thank you to everyone who danced and had a good time. I got asked three times what song we opened with. Well this is it: Monitor 66‘s smash ‘Triscuits‘. This is one of my favorite songs. It screams funk and sex. You can’t help but swing your body to this song. I was so happy when Anna wanted to play it as well. If you haven’t attended an Untamed Youth party at Great Dane you are missing out on some of the most fun to be had in our city.

Now swing that body…

The Night Out: Untamed Youth

It was my first time going to Great Dane in Braamfontein since I’ve been back in JHB. I’ve heard only great things about the place so I was very keen to attend Untamed Youth there. I’m still sceptical about parking in town (whether it be CT or JHB) and worry about shit way too much, so I was ecstatic that I got the parking right in front of the door; a great start to the night. The bouncer didn’t ask me where my ID was or comment on my outfit but instead asked me what the password was. I must admit, I felt like quite the special smart-ass as I muttered the secret phrase on my way in. The Untamed Youth vibe hit me immediately: people were having a great time groovin’ & boozin’ and it would be difficult for anyone not to. Tommy-Gun (Thomas de Moyencourt, who runs the Untamed Youth parties) said that it was a different experience compared to CT, which was weird in a good way.

Untamed Youth is coming to JHB

When I went to CT in 2009, one of the first things I was introduced to on my nights out were the Untamed Youth parties held at Fiction on Long Street every Tuesday. I honestly thought it was the name of the resident DJ at first since his name was always at the top of the sign board outside… Regardless, it was the place to be – the very best in indie and nu-disco was played and I could easily dance the night away on the tiny dance floor with sweaty strangers. If you ever hung out at the old Tokyo Star on a Thursday, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
