....born of volcano, raised by wolves...

08/10/2026

Short week, slightly scrambled sense of what day it is, and honestly that feels about right. I’ll be leaning into it with some beautifully crooked boogie, soft rock in a silk shirt, Brownsnake Balearic, soulful oddballs and a few records with a little night air and neon baked into them.

Feels like Thursday has arrived suspiciously quickly at Ruby, My Dear

Best not to overthink it 🍶

25/09/2026

Taking the The Triffid garden on a little Friday excursion. Some basslines with a cheeky grin, soul with its sleeves rolled up, a few disco numbers that have clearly been enjoying themselves and other funky business of questionable vintage.

The weekend’s knocking. Might as well let it in. 🍻🌇

23/09/2026

Packing a few records with questionable passports and impeccable taste. Some have spent too much time by the sea, others sound like they’ve been up all night in a hotel bar somewhere they probably shouldn’t be.

Expect a little Mediterranean mischief, some beautifully bent rhythms and a few numbers that might just have you ordering off the drinks menu twice.

Thursday’s looking rather well dressed at Ruby, My Dear 🍸

17/09/2026

First one back after a few weeks drifting around the Adriatic, and I’ve come home with a handful of records that already have a bit of life baked into them. I’ll be picking up the usual Ruby, My Dear thread with soft-focus boogie, Balearic, soulful left turns, soft rock wanderers and a few curious things tucked in between.

Feels good to be back in the booth and carrying the story on from 6 🎶

13/09/2026

Back from the Adriatic with a few records that already feel like they’ve lived a little. Picked up between swims, ferries, late dinners and whatever else was going on at the time, so I’m pretty keen to hear how they land back home.

Brisbane’s turned on very drinkable weather too, which feels like decent timing. I’ll be keeping it slow, warm and nicely unhurried for the afternoon. Patio Neighbourhood Bar from half 3. 🌇🍃

Sunday afternoon belongs to Patio Neighbourhood Bar .

I’m bringing records with soft edges, lazy basslines and just enough mischief to keep lunch from turning into a responsible early night. Pizza doing the heavy lifting, me handling the glide.

A very respectable way to lose track of the afternoon.

30/07/2026

Thursday gets a little silkier at Ruby, My Dear from 6 tonight.

I’ll be threading together breezy boogie, yacht-lit soul, curious pop and a few elegant curveballs for that part of the week where everyone finally exhales.

Meet you somewhere between first sip and last bite.

19/07/2026

Looking forward to giving these beauties something worth talking about this afternoon at Patio Neighbourhood Bar .

Got a bag full of easy-going records and nowhere to rush them. Balearic, slow burners, soft grooves and a few sun-worn favourites that seem to make an afternoon disappear a little quicker than expected.

Come find a spot, order something decent and let the soundtrack take care of the rest. 🌇 🥂

16/07/2026

Thursdays have their own pace. I'll be dipping through boogie, balearic, soft rock, soulful oddities and the kind of records that quietly convince you to stay a little longer.

If your evening could do with a gentle nudge in the right direction, you'll find me at Ruby, My Dear tonight 🌇🍶
