Awesome party. Thank you!

A big thank you to all who came down to Midi in the City on Saturday night. Was a big success.

A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who played, who I shall name:

WE'D, MASS STATIC, TYPHONIC, BOOT & SOOK, THE ZODIAC PROJECT, MORPHEE, DANIEL FALZON, OLIVER GURNEY, DANE AUSTIN, TIM JIRGENSON, RYZER, JEREMY NOTHMAN.

Wicked sets from everyone, some really good music and a variety of which is often hard to find in Sydney.

And thank you to our VJs Darko and Lukasz Karluk.

For a bit of a re-taste of what you saw if you were there or for a taste of what you missed if you weren't there, head to the Midi in the City channel for some vids. The quality is a bit low because my upload is slow, so I downed the quality of pic, but you still get a good idea of what's going on ;)

Cheers,
Andosound
MITC.

Chocolate Cake FOR YOU MOTHER...go on do it!!

INGRDOSKIS!!do this for your mum!!
200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
200g butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
chocolate curls or shavings (optional), to serve (see note)
Chocolate icing
200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup thickened cream
Method
Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and line base and side of a 6cm deep, 22cm (base) round cake pan.
Place chocolate in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM (50%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
Using an electric mixer, cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add melted chocolate. Beat until well combined. Sift flour and cocoa together. Fold half the flour mixture into butter mixture. Add half the milk. Stir gently to combine. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and milk. Spoon into prepared pan. Smooth surface. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Stand cake in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Spread icing over top and side. Top with chocolate curls, if using. Serve.
To make chocolate icing: Combine chocolate and cream in a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, until almost melted. Stir until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes or until thick enough to spread.
