Hello

Heres a few photos from the event "Made In Melbourne (23rd March)" held every few months at Billboards, packed with the best talent that melbourne has to offer. Inc. Heath Renata, Mike Metro, Chardy, Orkestrated, Stevie Mink, Nick Coleman, T-Rek, Dean Del, Samual James and + more.

First up is a couple of tunes from 17 year old Producer/ DJ Tom Clayton. Such Melbourne talent is there to find, you just have to know where to look. While he may have 63 followers on his soundcloud now, guaranteed that will rise fast as soon as he hits the club scene.


Calvin Harris - Bounce (Tom Clayton Dutch Bootleg) [SAMPLE TRIAL]




Katy Perry - Peakock (Tom Clayton Bootleg) sample






Stretching out to Sydney for this one by an artist called "Narrator." "Krokodil" has deep melodies with a really good Dutch style synth line on the drop. The song is very well put together and production wise, is of the highest quality, everything gelling perfectly together. Narrator is a talent on the up!

DJ's gotta eat too... + NWO@3D NEXT WEEK FRIDAY - Esbii



Does this look like a DJ does to you? . From just a glance, obviously not, but really, this a DJ at work right now. Not behind decks fist pumping to his shit, not partying it up with a shit ton of beers and bitches, not even in front of a disco lit crowd that just are infatuated with him, hell he's not even wearing headphones! but in actual fact, this is JungleJim doing DJ things. We're supplying a house party with their fun/tunes tomorrow and since they have requested r'n'b and hip hop (genres completely out of any in GBI's way), it's time for homework to be done.


(btw readers, all that stuff I said that Jimmy isn't doing right now, yeah we do all of that all the time )

Activator featuring Reinweiss - Rombee




This track has blown my mind as the perfect way to describe it is reverse bass house. A lot of reverse sounds I've heard have always remained in the hardstyle genre (and as I have mentioned previously reverse bass hardstyle being close to my heart) and I was pretty amazed to hear something made that was a lot more closer to house using a reversed bassline. Long time hardstytle producer Activator has indeed made something fresh and unique!



Also, just would like to take a moment of your time to spread the word of this sick new event, New World Order @ 3D, next Friday (Good Friday). Main basis of the event is the new fresh stuff that's come out lately rather than the classics and I'm glad to see that that the love of my life, Josh Lang, will be playing and most certainly will go off!

Hope you all have a mad weekend!

SCNTST's from Mumbai - MasterSys

Mumbai Science, the duo that I will never tire from have released their final EP that is apart of the "Unified Theory" Trilogy, and I have to say this is the best release to come out of the monthly chapters that began on the faithful day of January 9th.


Part 3 is a burst of love from a heavy orgy that involved Techno and House associates banging eachothers brains out, Part 3 decides to go a bit more raw and darker then the previous two, with that special touch Mumbai Science has been known for, a feeling of atmosphere with their use of echoey samples and a solid and energetic kick that blends into whatever their imagination is pumping out.



Chemistry happens to be a personal favourite of mine from this release, a track full of lazer-beam like sounds that shouts craziness but manages to retain a solid Techno vibe throughout the track, accompanied by a slick bass guitar strum.

To celebrate the final release, Lektroluv have decided to also release a picture vinyl version featuring tracks from the Trilogy. I have to shine light on this badboy, the artwork on this is just so well done, an awesome touch to some stellar releases.

Unified Theory Part 3 is out now on Beatport and iTunes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all I have time for now, but in order to save this post from such a gimpy pun in the title, I'll leave you now with some of my personal favourite SCNTST productions, I'm still in awe that this is a 17 year old pumping out these tunes... one more year and he'll be legal... just screwing with you.

As much as i hate to say it, Nina Las Vegas can DJ - Jungle Jim

So I wanted to start off my 2 week absence by posting one of my own tunes, a remix of Eminem's They Way I Am. I've always been a fan of Stevie Minks Purple Pills remix, however the more i learn the art of producing, the more I've realised the lack of production value in the song. I wanted to make a tune that wasn't driven 90% by the lyrics, but rather the production. Who knows if I have or not! But here it is:


Eminem - The Way I Am (Jungle Jim remix)




Also Free to download from my soundcloud page :)


Next up is an absolute banger from my new favourite local artist Reece Low. Move over JDG (especially seeing as the wanker won't reply to my emails!). His remix of Zoolanda's Heave turns an already great song into an international hit. The driving bassline on the drop is just my style of dirty club banger. You can check out Reece Low's soundcloud here.


Zoolanda - Heave (Reece Low Remix)





For my last tune I am going outside Melbourne to the UK, with a song by the 'Puppet On Crack.' 'The Puppet Theme' has quite a seedy, creepy kind of sound to it which i think just works so well with the artist as a whole. I can picture some creepy Puppet in a horror film, stalking and threatening someone to this melody. Great tune.

Much Ado about Power? - Horse

I made a new set this morning, shortening it to use up my remaining 33 free minutes on Soundcloud (el cheapo). I wanted to put in some of the harder tracks I've been digging lately and if a set opens with Figure, its gonna kick people square in the teeth. Also wanted to mix up genres a bit to see what techniques could be used when the tracks couldn't be physically beat matched.



Tracklist on Soundcloud

I've been a fan of Ado since his hearing his mix of Kissy Sell outs 'Wild in the Warehouse' and he consistently delivers banging tracks. Also had a slight love affair with his Articles remix from Clouds, as heard at the beginning of my Xmas set. I really like this track because its non-stop action with its relentless bassline. The acid sounds coming through along with some tech funk influences means it just keeps rollin'



The next track is a free gem comes from the bossdog at 'Sweat it out' Ajax. The classic house tune rolls off the decks beautifully for such events as Festivival and doesn't stop cruising nor bopping.Thanks Ajax

Why is it tomorrow this morning? - Esbii

So you just walked out of a club and this one tune you heard an hour or two ago that made you go off while in there is going in a repeat of what you can remember of what it was. Sure it's great you have just discovered something new to you that you love, but the problem is you can't get more of it unless you hear it again.

This has been a dilemma for me many a many a many of many a many among many times. Though there is no quick sudden answer that can be given by my humble self as a solution to the problem, but one way where you may encounter this track again is listening to sets/mixtapes by DJ's that are relevant to your interest. Jochen Miller's podcasts have been quite successful in my search for music and has also lead me to find other great trance artists since paying more closer to the genre last year.

Besides the initial point I raised earlier stating a massive problem, if following this route and listening to music similar to what you want to find, you can find many great new artists and tracks to sample and perhaps turn to love, no?

In any case, if you have a look at a lot of my previous posts, you will see such sentences like "So I found this track on so-and-so's set".


Fabio XB & Ronnie Play - MooZik (Dave Schiemann Remix)



I posted this remix of Moozik this week not only because it has been played over and over and over again in my car; not particularly because I liked the original, because I have not heard the original, nor is it because I am a fan of any that were involved in this track, because none of those names were known to me, but because it was really out of the off chance I discovered it. I found this track from Richard Durand's High end Trance mix (Intense set btw) and glad there was a way I could back track to find out it's name rather than cold when first heard!

Anyway, the track starts off percussion like sounds that instantly flash sound memories of the infamous Melbourne nightclub, Q Bar. I have never ever heard such sounds of that era or Q Bar itself been used in trance, it was that classy light tone that house bring infused with trance that really has captivated this track for me and I definetly implore everyone from all respected preference of EDM to give this track a try!

Hell, this track was so good and I couldn't find it on youtube that I uploaded it myself

Till next time,

Spotlight on Feadz - MasterSys

It's been a weak and whack week beforehand, being trapped in home for a long period gives your sanity an odd play around, but what a better way to ease those depressing moments with some tunes. Throughout last week I've been playing a particullar artist on repeat, the man known as Feadz ( Ed Banger ).






Feadz is quite the talented one, his unique blends of genre mashing from the likes of Hip-Hop, Electro and Acid House is a breath of fresh air for the label, from which I find has been dwindling over time ( In comparison to its " Glory Days " from 06 - 08 ) but Feadz continues to keep doing his own thing.

In 2010, he released one of my favourite EP's from the label, the underrated EP that goes by the name T.U.F.F ( The Unfinished Feadz Fairytale ). After being sucked in from one of the most awesome EP promo videos I've seen ( NSFW ), It was an instant purchase on day one.

Feadz_"Tuff"(video teaser) from L'Enregistreur on Vimeo.


I repeated the track " Four Sight " heavily, I just love that vibe the track gives, a slick, engaging and deep track that sucked me right in, I even went ahead and uploaded the track on Youtube for fans to enjoy. The EP also includes a ridiculous and unique banger known as " Dial a tool " ( Sydney lads Light Year did an impressive remix of the track later on ) and a bass heavy Electro track called " We got them ".





In 2012, Feadz still continues to push his vision in the game known as Music, with an EP coming out with fellow artist Kito titled Electric Empire ( Sporting some impressive artwork from the Ed Banger crew, as usual ), with a guest appearence by Feadz's ex-squeeze Uffie. I'm really digging the 2nd track in the preview, a bass heavy gospel like sound, an intense pick up and some awesome vocal sampling is going to a killer on the dancefloor with the right set of ears. Electric Empire is set to be release by the end of this month.
