Bernard “Pretty” Purdie – Instore Signing
Posted by Rex in Diggin', flavour of the month, News, People on November 30th, 2018
On Monday December 3 Northside will play host to the one and only Bernard Purdie, the most recorded drummer in the world. A long time Northside favourite, and a funk originator – Purdie transcends music genres and is regarded as one of the finest and funkiest drummers to ever tickle the skins. He’s played with everyone from James Brown, Eddie Palmieri, The Last Poets and Aretha Franklin to Steely Dan, Hall & Oates and Robert Palmer. Undisputed heavyweight and real live living legend. Don’t miss your chance to meet the man who put the “shuffle” in the funk (and the Rock, and the Jazz, and the Soul and the Blues).

Posted by Chris in Gigs, Live music, Recent releases, Record of the Month on June 20th, 2018
It was a crazy beautiful day last Saturday. Another record was born unto the world and KAIIT was ALL THAT AND MORE! Below is an amazing letter I was sent that really articulated well as to why we would come out to events. Even as a person going alone and why its important to.
Some snaps….
The Goods – Live in-store at Northside

KAIIT new 45 out on NORTHSIDE RECORDS
Northside Records is proud to present the first physical release of Melbourne’s rising soul star
KAIIT
“Natural Woman / OG Luv Kush Pt 2”
Kaiit burst onto the scene 15 months ago with her jaw-dropping debut single ‘Natural Woman’. After selling out her single launch she went on to perform at the highly regarded Golden Plains Festival, all on the back of a single track! This tune is a local anthem.
The 20 year old, Paupa New Guinean born, Melbourne based singer is now back with another slice of soul goodness with ‘OG Love Kush Part 2’ so we at Northside decided to do the right thing and press these gems to a piece of 7” vinyl.
Limited to 400 copies worldwide.
Record Store Day 2018 at Northside!
Posted by Rex in Gigs, Live music, News, People, Recent releases on April 13th, 2018
Whoa! It’s that time again. Saturday April 21. We have a massive day planned. Bands, DJs, exclusive releases, 45s galore, a ‘FUNK CAVE’*, hobbyists on the cut, giveaways and prizes! 10am-7pm. Even the RSD Tour Bus will be arriving and departing at Northside throughout the day. Live performances from The Bamboos, Jaala, Remi, Plutonic Lab and Natalie Slade, Cool Out Sun + DJs in TWO ROOMS all day long. Your favourite community radio jocks from PBS and RRR will be joined by some of our favourite customers, label owners and the Northside Records soundsystem – dropping knowledge and keeping the vibes rolling until dark.
It’s been our policy in recent years that RSD performers should have a record to present for Record Store Day – and let’s just say this year is an exceptional year! You may want to get out of bed early if you want a piece of Record Store Day history. Every band has a brand new 45 or LP released on the day. Some of these upcoming RSD releases have been previewed on critically acclaimed and internationally renowned community radio shows such as GET DOWN, MYSTIC BREW, THE BREAKDOWN and the THE BLEND. Catch those shows again this week for more tasters.
Full details of Saturday’s action will be available soon. * THE FUNK CAVE: Once again we are able to occupy 238 Gertrude for the day. We’ll have crates of all-sorts + electronica grab-bags, pop-up DJs, refreshments, lounges, coloured lights and room to dance. If you subscribe to our newsletter you’ll get the scoop at 11am on Thursday. If you don’t subscribe, you should – or watch this space for updates.
And, if that’s not enough – we have a superfine release that comes out on Northside Records’ label, this Friday, April 20. The Seven Ups return with their third album ‘Commandments’, and they just keep getting better. Rather than describe the music, below is the album artwork that looks a lot like the album sounds! Sadly they can’t be with us on Record Store Day, but we’ll have the record for sale – and more exciting news about their official launch coming soon. Don’t forget – it’s Record Store Day everyday at Northside.
