Absorb their expert advice and grab this exclusive download of their track ‘Rick James Fan’ to ease into the weekend, Loot & Plunder fan.
What constitutes a summer jam? A summer jam, I guess it captures the mood and the vibe and takes you to a better head space. Irrespective of genre or BPM, if it’s got that feel and memory attached to it, it’s a summer jam.
What are your three ultimate summer party jams? Let’s start with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – “Garden” (Soulclap Remix), then Todd Terje – “Inspector Norse” and Duke Dumont – “The Giver”.
What are three essential ingredients for a good summer party? Music. Beverages. Crew. Pool.
What are your favourite things to do in Adelaide during the summer? Standing around in a back yard, fridge readily accessible, plentiful tunes. But you can do this anywhere – not just SA – as long as there is a backyard and electricity. Even a balcony if a backyard is not available… a courtyard is also sufficient.
You’re ranked Adelaide’s #1 DJs; who are some of your favourites? Motez, Well Said & Rubberteeth, Jorge Watts and Sonny Fodera.
What did you wish you knew about throwing a great party when you first started that you know now? Choose the venue wisely, club owners can be interesting characters!
What is the craziest club/party/festival scene team Loot & Plunder have ever witnessed? We played a set at Splendour in the Grass a few years ago and had to kill the music as people were partying too hard that they put holes in the dance floor!
