So we went offroading again today and I thought I’d do something challenging/stupid =)
It didn’t look deep so we started driving into the water, but turned out to be pretty deep and we tried to reverse out and we got stuck BAD! Luckily my mate brought his Holden Jackaroo which was able to tow me out =)
Will definitely try it again once I have a snorkel and air locked diffs!

After watching Batman: The Dark Knight for the second time, I’ve come to love the soundtrack to this movie more and more. Although it is very similar to the Batman Begins OST, the new additions are very welcomed.
I’m not much a writer/reviewer of music, but if I were to describe the score in one word it would be “dark”.

One of my favourite artists Above and Beyond have combined talents with Justine Suissa to create an album that myself and many others have long awaited for. Bought my limited signed copy and hoping its on its way!!
From the interview:
“Ibiza - the birthplace of modern dance music. 20 years on and the island remains an important catalyst for today’s hottest dance talents. This year, OceanLab, the project featuring Above & Beyond and singer/songwriter Justine Suissa spent several weeks holed up in a villa there finishing their debut album, ‘Sirens Of The Sea’.
Steeped in Balearic brilliance, ‘Sirens Of The Sea’ is a mix of blissed out epics and dancefloor cuts. An album of depth, variety and serene beauty, showcasing a level of songwriting and production rarely witnessed within electronic music, and already drawing comparisons with bands such as Zero 7 and Everything But The Girl.
As OceanLab, Tony, Paavo and Jono’s work with Justine has led to a string of club anthems such as ‘Clear Blue Water’ (Top 50 UK Sales Chart), ‘Sky Falls Down’ and ‘Beautiful Together’, with each release adding to OceanLab’s reputation as one of clubland’s best loved vocal dance projects. They crossed into the mainstream consciousness when their 4th single, ‘Satellite’, was A-listed on Radio 1 and broke into the Top 20 of the UK sales chart, enjoying similar success globally.
Have been listening to a lot of Daft Punk lateley and if you get the chance, check out the videos of Daft Punk’s concerts on YouTube. Their mixing setup and stage is simply AMAZING… mmmm all those pretty lights

Currently listening to Discovery and Alive:
That’s all for now =)
Ministry of sound is most commonly known for its “dance and beats” and associated with the clubbing scene quite heavily. However the series “Chillout sessions” has had me quite hooked with a more laid back approach of relaxed beats and smooth house which i quite enjoy. Many tracks from vast variety of artists make it hard to get bored of. If you’re keen for something fresh do check it out.
Greetings sports fan!
I’ve been listening to a bit of Hi-Hop lately and got myself hooked on RJD2.
RJD2 makes music varying over many categories, from Hip-Hop, Instrumental, Rock to Lounge.
During his career he has worked with many artists to produce tracks and albums.
Some examples:
Although I’ve greatly enjoyed his Hip-Hop type tracks, his latest albums “Third Hand” and “Since We Last Spoke” have really struck a chord with me. His music styling has changed and the best examples of this is in “Work It Out” and “Making Days Longer”. He now infuses lot of soft vocal on top of his laid back beats.
I had RJD2’s “Third Hand” album playing in the car, and my friend Jess commented that a few tracks resembles the Beatles! I can sort of agree, especially in “You Never Had It So Good” and “Laws Of The Gods”.
Dropped by JB Hi-Fi last week and picked up a copy of The Cat Empire’s new album ‘So Many Nights’. Loved it from the start 
Feels like they’ve taken their music in a different direction compared to the previous albums, Two Shoes and the self-titled.
Favourite tracks:
Til the Ocean Takes Us All
No Longer There
