DJ JACK SHIT

Central Courtyard

From 5pm

Jack Shit is the hardest working man in No Business: a free-party programr whose radical radio show remains unrivalled for breadth and bravery. Jack is a disc-jockey for the ages: spinning songs for kids and animals one day, a Dementia Disco for otherwise-isolated older folks the next. 

Mr Shit is an on-air evergreen who hosts the longest-running show on Sydney’s FBi Radio. He was the founding curator and booker of the notorious underground club Tokyo Sing Song. Jack continues to be a highly sought-after DJ at festivals from Golden Plains to Panama, Falls to Dark Mofo. 

His collection spans a century of sound — on formats from shellac 10″ 78RPM records, through to vinyl platters, compact discs and digital files. He combines these relics and modern manifestations with state-of-the-art software to weave sonic stories in detailed, site-specific sets of stirring sound.
