Back on the tools after a homelessness hitatus. This is Nest 3.75.

Drum and Bass, Recorded on November 12th, 2024.

I bought a XDJ-RX3 and this stream was quite literally the first time I'd turned it on, let alone ever mixed on one haha. Enjoy.

Recorded 26th July 2024.
I played records mostly. Oh and Gaybar at least 3x.
I hope you like it.

A milestone stream that ran for 4 dang hours!
A little over 4 years ago The Hornets Nest was born. Transmitting from the utility closet of a Western Australian beach house, I really had no idea what to expect from the world of online streaming as I'd paid it very little attention in the past.
Due to Covid I found myself stuck in my hometown which felt all too alien after living overseas for 17 years. I'd decided to move home at the end of 2019 as I had a child on the way and a 3 year old who I wanted to grow into a full sick Aussie kid like I was. Little did I know that a few short months after that move, the world would go into lockdown and our borders would close.
Fast forward to June 2020 and I had a 3 month old baby, a career in tatters, and a marriage on the rocks.
I realised that for once in my life I had all my records in one place and unpacked. So amidst the most elevated stress levels I've ever experienced I turned to Twitch and constructed a extremely basic streaming setup. Some of the OG's reference 'broom cam' periodically as I quite literally taped an old webcam to a broom handle, pointed it sort of towards my turntables and hit 'go live'.
If not for the community of Twitch I do not know how my life would have panned out. I fear it might have gone very differently to how it did and I owe a debt of gratitude to the platform and to the fans for keeping me connected to the world that I had previously hopped around so freely.
It was a blessing and it got me through the darkest days.
I am eternally grateful.

We've grown, we 've lost and we've loved.

Heres to you, the moisities, the bushpigs, the Nest gang. Thank you.
