J(SA)-Pop!

Tracks like these is where my love of dance music started so many years ago :)

Yin & Yang; It's all about balance. It's all about the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs and everything inbetween. It's about the journey. I've tried to create

something that will keep you entertained the whole way through :)

There are some fantastic tracks in this one. Some great samples of the old classics, some awesome house, some excellent pop and some fantastic techno.

I hope you enjoy it.

Peace :)

09 Your Girl - Blue States
10 Hoomba Hoomba - Voice Of Africa
11 Waiting 4 You - Ian Van Dahl

I think the best way to describe this one is 'Mashed' ;)

It starts with guitars and ends with guitars - everything in the middle is.. well, you'll hear. There are some excellent remixes of some excellent tracks. The 303 in track eight gets me every time.

The inspiration primarily came from the Kylie concert I attended just before Christmas last year. I chaperoned my 10 year old Niece and it was the first time she had been to a live performance. From the Bush to Melbourne and 15,000 people! She loved it. For me, it was one of the best I've ever seen. Love her or hate her, it is undeniable that she is an artist. Nearly 21 years into her career and she just keeps getting better..

I would like to send my thanks to Andrew Scott for his technical advice, I've learnt a lot. He has an excellent eye and you can check out some of his work here:

The inclusion of 'The Human League' was originally intended to be a statement about the situation in Gaza; another generation will now grow up obsessed with fighting. Since then so many things have happened..

I dedicate this to the residents of Israel and Palestine, may you find peace one day; the survivors of the Vietnam War who may now finally get some closure through the Trials and to all the people affected by the Firestorms in Victoria - to those who have lost everything, including family and loved ones - my thoughts are with you.
