Back by popular demand
So I've had a few weeks down time from the studio and giving myself some much needed time off. I'm back now and I've got some exciting plans for the next few months and I'm really looking forward to sharing it with you all.
What's been doin?
On the Decks
So in my down time I competed in the Digital Evolution DJ competition Trance Round 1. It was a great event and you can view my sert on my facebook page orcheck out my set below.

In the studio
As I said I've been having a break from the studio but I will be back in the studio with a vengeance over the next few months with some exciting projects in the works. I will be launching a new regular blog series called "Audio Files" which will be a sort of diary of my exploits and interests in the world of studio equipment, audio production, live sound and anything else that takes my fancy in the wonderful world of audio.

Wow there has been some amazing events held in Brisbane over the past few weeks. First up was Gatecrasher Brisbane: Return of the Lion @ Venue Ei8ht in Fortitude Valley. It was a wonderful evening of amazing trance music. The highlights for me were Factor B and Mauro Picotto both were simply amazing and with a wonderful crowd. Check out the recap video by Lit Media Productions to see what you missed. (Venue EI8HT, 2017)
Next up was Cosmic Gate Materia Album Tour with the one and only Emma Hewitt @ Venue EI8HT also. The venue was pumping all night with Cosmic Gate doing what they do best. Local Legend Taglo played an amazing warm up set too. Check out another great recap video by Lit Media Productions to see what you missed.

Last but by no means least is one of my favourite yearly events in Brisbane Candee Flip this year @ Capulet Fortitude Valley. I've been attending these for many years and each year it a great chance to catch up with old friends, meet new ones and feel the feeling of how clubbing used to be good vibes, no ego and great tunes. If you get the chance do yourself a favour and attend a Candee Flip.

What's next
On the decks
I'll be trying to focus on studio work for the next few months but there are a few cheeky gigs coming up but more on that later.... I'll also be working on a few demo's and a podcast guest mix as well.
In the studio
I have some awesome projects in the works. First up will be a sound replacement Foley and ADR exercise. In this project I will be working with Adam Higginson and Shay Mitchell and developing our studio skills by replacing every sound for the introduction to Universal Picture's 1985 classic "Back to the future" here is the original.

I'm also planning on creating a track using only sounds from my Postie Bike. Combining recorded elements, knowledge of audio manipulation and synthesis I plan to create and interesting track that sums up my feelings towards this wonderful piece of machinery.

In the clubs
There is heaps coming up in the clubs Brisbane is really stepping things up with some amazing acts coming up. If you want to know more check out my Facebook group South East QLD Club Events for information about every gig I know of, discount tickets and guest lists.
Blog
As you know I'm going to be starting a regular post called Audio Files but along with that I will be exploring all things Trance. Over the next few months I will be diving into the tapestry that is Trance music and exploring the genre as a whole as well as the rich array of sub-genres that make it my favourite genre.
Stay tuned...............
