If a blown mind is what you’re after, this week has some absolutely mind-blowing gigs on offer.
Wednesday arvos have been handed over to some of the best local DJ crews and party-starters! The FBi Click residency starts this week with Cosmo’s Midnight and Basenji (and lots of their mates) in charge of your ears.

Basenji’s ‘Dawn’ sounds like a marching band encouraging an army of pixies to tumble down a huge crystalline mountain, their bodies clinking and plonking their way over the uneven surface in joyful mayhem. Download it for free here.
