Cuckoo Bar Turns 5! feat. Tornado Wallace (Delusions Of Grandeur)

May 082013

Who woulda thunk it….

Here we are at our 5th birthday, many might have thought it wouldn’t have come this far (well we knew it would… haters)
Its been an amazing ride so far, many great parties have slowly transformed our dance floor from a sturdy structure, into what could now be described as a spring board… Acts like Frivolous and Mathew Jonson bringing half their studio in and blowing our minds with their live mayhem.
The Sidewalk shows, gave whiplash to many a neck.
Techphonics gracing us with the likes of Dj Bold and Alex Smoke…
Nighttime Drama repping Berghain like we were in the motherland!
We were blessed to have the Album launches for some of our finest exports like HMC, The Carter Bros and Oisima.
These selected highlights are just a snippet, there are many more! We have been privileged to have an amazing support of Artists and promoters around us and not least our loyal customers that come in week in week out!

So without further rant…. Our fifth birthday is going to be one to remember!
We will be Joined by one of Australia’s finest House Producer / Dj’s Tornado Wallace! Known for his great journey sets, it seems perfect that he be the one help us celebrate this occasion.

Support from our tried and tested locals, Our Backbone The Carter Bros vs Sanjii and 12″Phildo.

Love to see you there for a hug

Why?? Why Not?

Its cooler, it free’s up your legs for manoeuvrability, you dont dirty up your new slacks…
It might take some convincing, but you’ll come around. Leave those inhibitions at home, pack your best undies and wax the bikini line.

For the second time in Adelaide, we’re extremely excited to bring you LINKWOOD! After blowing everyone away at his last set down at the beautiful DragonFly, we couldnt pass up the opportunity to have him grace us again!

On the cusp of the release of his new album, Nick Moore (AKA Linkwood) will no doubt be packing a bag full of his latest work!
For anyone unfamiliar with the Linkwood sound, its somewhere between Classic House, Techno, Disco, Analogue Boogie, Dub and Soul…. Easily categorised! His debut album ‘System’ on Trus’me’s Prime Numbers, was an underground sensation, giving us a triple pack of 10 versatile dancefloor bangers!
Those that have been lucky enough to hear a Linkwood Dj set will attest to his uncanny ability to move between moods and genres with ease.

Make the right decision and start your Mad March with a mind full of warm analogue jams, its good for your soul

$15 on the door
Open from 9pm

2013 is well and truly under way, and its shaping up to be an exciting year!
So much happening in our little A-Town right now and its ridiculously inspiring!For our first party this year we’re welcoming two lads into the family. Sleep D, haling from across the border have been pumping out some great music in recent times and running some very swift warehouse shindigs. Added to that they run ‘Butter Sessions’, a blog dedicated to pushing the beautiful electronic music we love. Very excited to have them on board.

Our local legends to boot… The Carter Bros, Martin Regan, Fission Theory & 12″ Phildo.

SoulPhiction (Philpot, GER) December 15

Dec 012012

One of Cuckoo’s favorite house producers heads to Australia for the first time!Soulphiction (Michel Baumann) runs one of the most consistent, underground record labels around – Philpot / Phil e. The music touches on a mixture of, Deep Techno and Moody House with a sprinkling of acid. Think of a classic Chicago acid house record, melted down and poured into a bowl of deep Berlin Techno, add a touch of Jazz and Soul and your starting to get the flavor.Their label tagline, ‘Thanks for purchasing a real copy’ says a lot for how they run their operation. A strong passion for their favorite median, and an obvious confidence in the quality of the product they offer. Growing up on a heavy dose of hip-hop, Michel moved to four-four music in the early 90′s. Taking in plenty of influence from Chicago. His output of music since the late 90′s has not only been through his own labels, but on an array of other German imprints, such as, Sonar Kollektiv, Pampa, Perlon, Playhouse, Dessous, Poker Flat and Morris Audio to name a few!

We strongly recommend if you haven’t heard of this man, YOU NEED TO GET ACQUAINTED!!

A great place to start would be his ridiculous RA Mix –

Then head to his personal sound cloud page and go bananas!
