“I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new conciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation”

Albert Hoffman.

There is not much I can add to this quote other than… I personally prefer mushrooms and I believe hallucinating is something every human being should experience at least once in their lifes… On a side-note I suggest its done as a way to connect with the earth, not just for recreation.

That said, this track is not about any of these substances, instead its like an hybrid tribute to Acid House and Acid Jazz and what they represent for me… art  revolution, doing things differently, spontaneity and improvisation.

Acid will be out on Leed’s  imprint  LS City Records on Summer 2010 as part of a 2 track EP, my debut EP.  Soon more info about this.

LS City Records is a burgeoning UK label who are consistently releasing quality tracks, their roster includes people like Richard Dinsdale, Style Of Eye, Alex Kenji, Lissat & Voltaxx, Benny Royal, to name  a few… and their releases get constant support by influential names such as Dubfire, Erick Morillo, Style Of Eye, Robbie Rivera, Fedde Le Grand, Dean Newton, Ant Brooks, to name but a few.

2010 – Is Disco House Back? is the way Jim Breese from the UK begins his article on his website about our new track Luz De Luna… Being such a good write and having nothing to add to it, I’ll just copy/paste here for you to read yourself…

2010 – Is Disco House Back?

If so, it’s no bad thing. Amongst all of the creativity oozing from House music, it could also be suggested that sometimes, the fundamentals of what it is has been lost.

It’s a vibe & it’s a feeling. One that resonates deep from the dance floor. Looking back to the mid nineties, when I was the other side of the booth, clubbing frequently at ‘The Ministry’ & ‘Wobble,’ the Disco/Filtered sound was huge & it turned the clubbing ‘FUN’ dial to +10. Around this time, I started to DJ & it was tracks such as Todd Terry’s ‘Jumpin’ & DJ Sneak’s ‘Polyester EP’ that were my fail-safes to pull from the back of the stucco. Back then, records were solely about the groove & everything hinged on finding & then working that golden Disco sample.

Fast forward to Feb 2010… I headed to Colombia to play at our very popular Hed Kandi residency at Piso 30. It was also a chance to drop into the studio of Bogota’s rising Tech producer Phillip O. What followed was a couple of days writing, some incredible Colombian food, a spontaneous Sax recording from Ibiza based jazz musician- The Lovely Laura & a truly memorable gig that was rocking till the late AM.

With so many influences, what could a track like this sound like? Straight up, rolling, Disco House of course!

Got another release out today! this is my first release on Sound Mass Records and I’m very proud of it and the fact that its a remix for Utku Dalmaz, an amazing Tech House / Deep House producer from Turkey.

Very very nice Deep Tech Housey feeling on this one, massive subby bassline and sick groove that is impossible not to dance to!!

I just uploaded the full version of this track on  youtube, click HERE and please rate, comment and subscribe! thanks.

Miguel Estrada from Australia and Don Steele from Vinyl Pusher Records were kind enough to choose me to remix Miguel’s debut release, Miguel Estrada is a new name in the scene, but the man behind it has plenty of experience in “the Oz” club and music scene…  My take on “The Drop” is kind of different to what I’ve been doing, Big Room Proggy House with a long breakdown and a massive buildup only to explode with a sick drop… hence the name

This is my third release on the Australian imprint, Vinyl Pusher. Out now on Beatport!

My second release on the Australian imprint Vinyl Pusher! This time I’m remixing Rob Care, whose Saxophone flooded Funky House track makes it feel like summer wherever you are! My take on it was basically intended for the clubs, with the right amount of summer vibe attached to it, the HUGE saxophone and kinda Tech House stabs will get you ‘dancin and prancin’ in no time. Got to love it.
