Party Xentral - What's On This Week, Guys?
Tuesday 27th September - DJ Langford
Yoko Ono she didn't? Bowie yes she did. Hmm, might give up on the puns now and just explain that our Tuesday debutante DJ - (Anna) Langford - is one of those people who just have great taste in music, and there's nothing you can do about it. From Dolly Parton to Iggy Pop, Nina Simone to Die Antwoord... DJ Langford is set to make our first post-daylightsavings Tuesday a delightful delight. 8pm - close
Wednesday 28th September - DJ Mark Brood
When he's not busting heads with his rock & roll gang The Brood, Mark's poring over his collection of 45s, pulling out badass hit after hit in preparation for this Wednesday night. Here at The Golden Dawn: Tavern of Power, vinyl nerds get extra points, so Mr Brood will be getting ten gold stars beside his name this week when he breaks open the crates just for us! 8pm - close
Thursday 29th September - Yam Jams DJs
It's that time of the month again, kids! This Yam Jams we welcome back El Tankardo from Peru, reuniting the holy trio for the first time in a few months. Don't be surprised if the gents have picked up a few tricks and treats throughout their travels, topping up an already wobbly big pile of tunes. Jazzy souly funky party party party times! 8pm - late
Friday 30th September
“Glam Slam” with DJs Skinny & Near Mint
Those cheeky vinyl loving chaps are fastforwarding their tastes from 30's jazz to the wild early 1970's, spinning all original 45's. Expect a little bit of pop and a glittery dose of early punk, all smooshed together into one big GLAM SLAM. You've got a hub cap diamond star halo, you're dirty sweet we're your Tavern of Power. 8pm - 11pm
DJ Tina Turntables 11pm - 2am
It's about time we saw the return of Tina Turntables. It always feels like too long, right? If you like your soul raw, your rock'n'roll pure, and your sass levels set to Extreme, you'll be swaggering and swaying with joy at the sounds on offer this evening. Dress up nice and get ready to dance - Tina Turntables sets the standard for good times, and you need to do your bit.
Saturday 1st October - Ed Muzik - $5.00
After putting our punters through some seriously rigorous dance routines a few months back, The Great Southern Partymaster - Ed Muzik - is back, with a full band in tow. Let's get physical while we get political, like a cross between Springsteen & Lady Gaga!
also featuring those rascals the Rose Quartz DJs!
Sunday 2nd October - DJ Slave
A long time member of Auckland's extended musical family, Slave - aka Mark Williams - is a well known figure in the hip-hop scene, and his voice has graced our radio for longer than most. But what you might not know is that Slave is just as much about Tom Waits as he is Tony Allen, nerding out on anything with a soul. Hip hop, reggae, blues and more - this Sunday with Slave! 5pm - late

Wednesday 14th September ~ DJ Emily Miller-Sharma
Long time listener, first time caller Emily is very excited to finally be let near the ipod at the party, so to speak. It's time for the world to find out that she's more than just a creative genius, she's also got the kind of musical taste that makes you go "Hmmm", in a good way. 8pm - late
Thursday 15th September ~ Titty City DJs
It's time to get deadly serious with Titty City - the highbrow set of tastemakers that specialise in "Party Bringing", or "bringing the party".

Sir Saunders will be joined by lo-fi guitarsmith and deluxe ratbag Roy Irwin, yussssss.
Also appearing: DJs Todd Beeby and Jon Bywater
Proof the the angels care! They've brought our beloved Todd Beeby (early set) home safe to DJ, so that we can delight in his carnivalesque tastes and whims, and hear tales of the Mysterious Orient and airplane meals. Monsieur Beeby is more than ably followed by Jon Bywater - the man with the greatest record collection in the world. Beware boys & girls, Bywater is known for his miraculous ability to make even the deadest of feet get up and dance again. 8pm - close
Sunday 18th September ~ DJs Black Mumba and the Silver Fox

So Golden, So Powerful ~ Sept. 7 - 11
Wednesday 7th September ~ New Telepathics (Psychic DJ set)
New Telepathics sleeve of influence spans six decades of mad music - scratchy old records from the 50s, NASA broadcasts, Cuba, Africa, Thunderbirds, 6 million dollar man, Afro beat, Sun Ra, King Tubby, Punk, Captain Beefheart - its a flow where anything can happen, you might here Ornette Coleman over Aphex Twin... anything with a good groove to make the people move...8pm - close
Thursday 8th September ~ DJ Dylan & Glen (Rekkit)
Returning to our merry fray for another bout of finetunery, Mr Dylan Cherry (the only DJ so far to play anything off Smashing Pumpkins' Gish...) brings with him his close compatriot Glen, and an armful of visual material to project for your multi-sensory pleasure. Expect two men knowing their shit, and spinning the kinds of things you like to hear when a Thursday night rolls around! 8pm - close
Friday 9th September ~ The Nudge with Fraser Ross ~ $5
Wellington trio The Nudge are at the Golden Dawn for the first time to dish out a complex sound often termed as "psychedelic swampy blues", with an element of "PARTY". Based around the songs of Mr Ryan Prebble, this guitar/organ/drums combo make a sweet little racket for so few dudes. One thing that is however certain, this is music for the soul and the feet! Please note: Ponsonby Pies will be available from the merch desk!
plus party DJs extraordinaire --- Tu Meke & The Wallruss! 8pm - late
Saturday 10th September ~ Stress Cadet ~ $5
In an effort to cleanse the air of all stench, Auckland 3 piece, Stress Cadet, will be bombarding the city of sails with a juggernaut 5 album release campaign. For the duration of the Rugby World Cup, Stress Cadet will be releasing a single a day (free download for 24 hours), everyday, until the R*gby stops!
Members Joshua L. (synth, drum machine), D.Golfinopoulos (sample, rap, ‘scape) and Zanni Anderscum (wardrobe, vox) have scavenged through the wreckage of 20th century soundscapes to construct a 5 album, maximalist, dance pop nightmare.
Ranging in sound from the obscene to the serene, Stress Cadet are an experimental electronic act that have taken bland urban dance flavours and pop culture’s sonic garbage and regurgitated it into a bizarre, chaotic, catchy and organic cornucopia of gross and fantastic new sounds. Visit www.cheapcars.net.nz to get in on the download action, and don't miss them here this Saturday!
With very special guests Quarks & DJ Marionette 8pm - 2am
