The Yo Home To Bel Air Extended Mix by Dj Versey Verse on Mixcloud

For those of you who like it Big Willie Style, here’s a mix for you.

An extended version of the Yo Home To Bel Air Mix with added party, cheese and summer time fun.

Good for road trips, pool parties, BBQs, tampon commercials and when your party sucks so you want people to start dancing in the living room because you’ve already cleared out all the furniture and put on the lava lamp so they may as well do something in there.

Dangerous Remedy (2012)

admin — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 07:18:29 +0000

The ABC telemovie event Dangerous Remedy tells the fascinating story of Dr Bertram Wainer. Living and working in Melbourne in the 1960s, Dr Wainer put his life at risk to expose police corruption in an effort to change the law on abortion and put an end to the illegal operations that were killing young women.

It’s a truly inspiring story. Dr Wainer’s determination, even when his own life and that of his family’s was threatened, never faltered. He was living proof that one person can make a difference and change the status quo.

With the support of Dr Wainer’s family, the filmmakers have endeavoured to capture the essence of his struggle to expose police corruption and change the law.

Starring Jeremy Sims, Susie Porter, William McInnes, Maeve Dermody, Peter O’Brien and Gary Sweet, Dangerous Remedy is an intelligent thriller with danger, suspense, complex characters, contradictions and romance.

PREMIERES 4 NOVEMBER 2012 8.30PM ON ABC1

I was stills photographer and multiplatform director, creating a series of webisodes exploring behind the scenes and the history of the case - http://www.abc.net.au/tv/dangerousremedy/webextras/
