HOMETOWN GUIDE: Lancelot On Sydney
Lancelot shares with Purple Sneakers the top 5 places to hit up at his hometown of Sydney.
Producer and musical knight LANCELOT, has been pricking up ears with his brand of deep house remixes and originals, with labels such as NERVOUS RECORDS and ANJUNADEEP releasing some of his works. No biggie.
His latest offering, the 5 -tracked EP J.O.B features 'Aint Nothin' Goin' But The Rent' and b-side 'Truth', with Ngaiire providing vocals on both.
The rest of J.O.B is made up of 'Aint Nothin' Goin' But The Rent' remixes from MERAMEK and PLAYMODE, whilst LANCELOT also throws in a a piano dub into the mix. Expect to hear this little musical number when LANCELOT rides into a town near you for his Lancelot Australian Tour.

When he's not busy with his dance music chivalry or with travels to kingdoms near and far, the Sydney native shares with PURPLE SNEAKERS his top 5 places to frequent back at his hometown.
1. MAGGIES
9/50 Macleay St Potts Point NSW
'Maggies is where I would start on a Saturday morning (more realistically afternoon) when I have woken up hung as anything. The best German Veal/Chicken Schnitzels in town. The servings are also ridiculously big also. I've never actually finished a meal there....*Soooon*'
2. DARLO BAR
306 Liverpool St, Darlinghurst NSW 2010
'Great pub. They also have a different selection of $5 beers on tap every week. Not shitty VB's/Carlton's either I'm talking nice boutique beers from Tassy, WA etc. Great outdoor rooftop area as well. Perfect spot for a 3pm - 8pm beverage vibe. But not 8:05pm. Totally wrong at that time.'
3. HINKY DINKS
185 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst Rd, Darlinghurst NSW 2010
'These guys make my favourite cocktail in Sydney. I even order it (when it is not on the menu) and get it successfully all the time. The drink is called 'The Big Tickle'. Try it and say it was me that recommended it, they’re doing sweet kickbacks for me. Bar staff are legendary and you get a little cup of popcorn on entry.'
4. BOAT PARTIES IN GENERAL
'Might seem a bit naff before you get on. Then you realise you are doing laps of the prettiest harbour in the world. DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED :-)'
5. THE SPICE CELLAR
Basement Level/58 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2000
'Spotted Barry O'Farrell there last weekend at 6am wearing a headband and basketball shorts. He looked like he was having a good time post-resignation. He shouted me a mocktail.'
