So while I was away I had a grueling time on the XPT train twice, here is story that followed...

PART 1: BRISBANE to SYDNEY

As I sit here on the train to Sydney it gives me a chance to look at some older tracks i may have brushed off over the past 6 months (and attempt to make a super post for the ones i wont get to post whilst I'm on my holiday)... Its mid 2008 and already we have had some pretty big hits and artists emerging out of nowhere. I myself has just released my 1st single off my 2nd LP which is still yet untitled... And that song is GASH which features my very good friend and co-writer Lady Clam formally known as Shell Heaven Lee. The song took a lil over a month to make and is kinda free style rap over some heavy synth and as always some pitch shifting vocals that give it just that little bit more of a edge.

Okay the train has just stopped in Casino.... NO not at a casino the place Casino and I have Venue - Kate pumping in my ears. I wish I could make a phone call but NOPE no network coverage. So back to my itunes TOP 40 most played tracks... And guess what the number 1 track is? Its the Cinematic Orchestra by 7 plays... followed by the Presets - This Boy's In Love. I should give you the whole list just to show you how different my taste in music changes over time. One theme stays obvious though and that is most of it has a synthomelotic (my newly created word ;-p). Take a look.

okay after a long 10 hours on this train i have discovered an old favourite of mine, that is the Phones remix of The Bomb by the uber cool New Young Pony Club... And it was this song that kicked off most of my indie loving future ambitions. I was lucky enough to see NYPC when they came to Australia in January and was highly impressed with the show they put on.

So here is the track that changed me forever

DL: NYPC - The Bomb [Phones Edit]

Since then I guess The Tings Tings have kinda taken over the indie rocking scene, although i must say it a lil more of the pop flavour then the NYPC guys did it. SO i say bring back the Pony Club!!! Before i die on this train. Just kidding i should be okay.

Whoa I just found another club jam... Its begins with NYPC, yet again the pushes into DIM then Larry Tee ft. Princess Superstar the perfect blend of 3 tracks that made clubbing worth the go! You might have heard this one before BUT have you heard it like this??

DL: NYPC - Ice Cream + DIM - Airbus Baby + Larry Tee ft. Princess Superstar Lucky (Work it Out) [Herve Goes Low RMX]


PART 2: SYDNEY to MELBOURNE

Arhhh!!! I'm back on the train... Had to get up at 6am so I could check out of my hostel. I didnt want to leave at all. Had So much fun meeting people from all around the world and Shell who happened to take me out to some of the funest clubs in the Cross. So i made the train obviously despite the fact that I drunk my ass off last night to go out with bang, the local bar was packed to shitters, so i decided to leave at 11 something I cant remember the actaul time. Anyways back to my "fun" train ride from Sydney to Melbourne, its full of people over 45 and i seem to be the only 20something in 1st class, im begining to think it was a stupid idea to train in this section. Oh well its all free, the main thing is Im listen to Missy's GH catalogue, tacks that would probly make the peeps in this train go nuts haha. When is her new album coming out??

Damn well here is a classic of hers enjoy.

DL: Missy Elliott - Work It

And thats just a fraction of how i spent my boredom on the trains.

Some like it mellow, some like it hard, I like it Von Party. Thomas Von Party to be precise, the younger bro of Tiga who can spin out a flipping great set. Your ears are in for a treat with the Edit he does of the D.I.M. remix of Disco Sirens by Midfield General. It's Turbo Recordings at their best, very dirty indeed. TVP also has podcasts over at Sid Loves Turbo, so go check them out.

ARHHHHHH!!!! That's how good D.I.M. was at the Monastery last night!! It was a moment of pure electro bliss... Just watching him work the dials and choose the songs that would make us "the mono rats" jump/krump/pump away was out of this world. The energy levels were sky high and the walls were shaking with the sounds of all the best mixes DIM has done so far. From the Fancy Footwork remix, Airbus & the more mellow, yet heavy My Moon My Man remix it all came together to bring the best set I have ever experienced in a club. Could i be a slave to the music of DIM??? Quite possibly... Reminds me of a zombie in the Thiller video.

D.I.M. - Is You.mp3
The Presets - My People [D.I.M. RMX].mp3

Mix the 2 together and you a banging FISTOGRAM!!! Thats the track by K.I.M. that my mate tyson got me onto for the mondayitis cure. AND woah. Seriously I blame him now for my cravings to go out to the club and get this track played with much force. However I highly doubt that they won't refuse to play in at Monastery my local shrine/club/place.of.refuge yep I'm a MONO freak. But it has hosted some of the best DJs from round the globe. D.I.M. is playing there too... OMG goin to be as good as when MR.OiZO hit the decks. that was one night me and Tys will never forget.

Anyway back to this club banger. Fistogram is perfect. a lil tranced a lil dirty and full of punch.

BIG thanks to Data Sapiens for the track
