On Thursday 4th at 9pm, join Pogo as he spins several unseen mixes at the Llama Bar in Subiaco, Perth. Grab a drink from one of the finest bars in Perth, and hit the floor to Pogo’s newest works including mixes of ‘Wall-E’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Aladdin’.
The Llama Bar is at 1/464 Hay St in Subiaco, and features shows from Perth’s finest video jockeys VJZoo every weekend. Find some stellar shots of the Llama on VJZoo’s Flickr.
We have here a small series of shots taken from the high-definition copy of Pogo’s ‘Splurgenshitter’. Enjoy!
In the last quarter of 2009, Pogo was approached by Honda to produce a demo track for a TV commercial. The commercial was to be broadcast throughout the UK, and in cinemas around the world.
Honda requested that Pogo micromix Empire Of The Sun’s track ‘Walking On A Dream’. With a Rode NT1-A and a Tascam DR-1, Pogo spent 10 minutes in his car recording the sounds that would construct the percussion for this track.
Sadly, after Pogo submitted his demo, Honda decided to take a different route. Due to popular demand, below is the Pogo track that never was!

The term ‘remix’ is often used to describe Pogo’s tracks. Here at PogoMix.net, we believe the term greatly undervalues his work, and that a new term to describe it is in order.
A remix is typically the taking of a melody or lyrical passage from a pre-existing song, and putting it to a new backing track with a different BPM. There’s no questioning that the originality of Pogo’s work stretches far beyond this technique. Pogo has come to develop his own sound, micro-splicing chords and syllables to produce completely new pieces of music.
Pogo’s music is difficult to accurately describe, so we want your ideas! What would you have us call a Pogo track?
At the Northbridge Piazza in Perth on December 31st, catch Pogo as he mixes and VJ’s live on the new super-bright 3 meter LED screen!
Roads will be closed, 3000 people will gather, and Pogo will set the night off with a bang at 8pm with new tracks and videos never seen before. Plus, it’s free!
Bring the family, sit in the park, and join Pogo as we salute 2009 and embrace 2010. Happy new year!
Ahoy Everyone,
On the 10th of September 2009, Sony Pictures Entertainment claimed that ‘Bangarang’ is an infringement of copyright, and the video was removed from YouTube. I suppose this had to happen eventually given the kind of world we live in.
I want to make it very clear to my listeners and anyone questioning the legalities of my work that:
1. My tracks are strictly non-profit, and will never make me a dime until all samples are cleared.
2. I do not, and have never aimed to supersede the works from which I sample. My tracks promote the films from which they are sampled, commercially and culturally.
3. My tracks help to fulfill the intention of copyright law by stimulating creativity for the enrichment of the general public.
4. My tracks pose absolutely no threat to the markets of the films from which they are sampled. On the contrary, they have acted as stimulants for these markets in that many viewers express desire to purchase the films I promote after watching my videos.
My work serves as free viral marketing to the organisations that own the films I sample from. It’s high time the music industry pulls its head out of its ass, and realises that today’s remix culture is an asset, not a liability. To shoot down the potential here would be utterly illogical.
My deepest gratitude to everyone for their amazing support. It inspires me to know that the world is full of people like you that encourage original thinking and welcome the future. Our right to create, enrich and inspire is one of our most valuable freedoms as a society, and I will not have that freedom taken away from me.
Pogo.
