TRAC K RE VIEW S Humpday Project Farewell
with JAYDEN BRIGGS www.soundcloud.com/jayden_briggs
Mammoth (Original Mix) - Moguai, Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike This is one of those records that will never get old to me, and I never want to end. With a minute fifteen build from the very get go, it just keeps on bringing more and more energy as the track progresses. “Ear-tingling” pads and perfected synths all inevitably come together and build up into a high intensity “big room sound” drop, this is one track that will get anyone off their seat - You will be humming for days after hearing it. Zunami (Original Mix) - Merk&Kremont Merk&Kremont have to be one of my favourite artists at the moment with their sound revolutionising the way I see the genre that they are dominating. They are doing this, in my opinion, by mixing what some may call “bounce” “progressive house” and “big room” all together for a sound that is ready for any stage, while creating their own genre at the same time. This is a set favourite of mine and never disappoints.
After almost 3 years at the top of their game, the crew down at the Chelsea Heights Hotel has closed the doors of Humpday Project for the last time. After much deliberation, Jason Saphire (Director of Fun Ticket Entertainment) decided it was time to pull the plug on his beloved Wednesday night. In a special meeting he gave a passionate speech about the club night many thought would never succeed and how it surpassed even his own expectations. He described Humpday as his home away from home and expressed great sorrow at its closure, but promised plenty more in store for the partygoers of bayside & the peninsula. On behalf of Fun Ticket Entertainment, BPM and all those that have been involved, or attended Humpday-Project Wednesdays over the past 3 years; I would like that say thank you for playing your part in not only making this club so successful, but also for helping to create so many wonderful nights and memories that none of us will forget.
Eva Simmons - I Dont Like You (Meltek Remix) This is the type of track you can play pretty much anywhere and you and everyone else (especially the ladies) will be singing their hearts out. Meltek delivers a spot-on chord progression throughout the whole track along with uplifting pads and risers infused with Eva Simmons amazing voice to give you a rogressive masterpiece. His Deadmau5 and Porter Robinson mashed influence shines through in this track creating a certain vibe about it that makes you just want to smile. Surecut Kids - Bust Up Da Place (Lefty Remix) Melbourne local “lefty” and coincidently one of my good mates, steps up the bar again (he has been making a habit of this lately) with this new unreleased remix for Surecut Kids. This Remix starts off with with a melody that captures your ears and is automatically stuck in your head. The breakdown in this remix is what grabbed my attention; a slow, Rastafarian sounding beat with Surecut Kids vocals giving it a unique Jamaican feel I hadn’t heard in a track in this genre before. Modest Life –RÜFÜS Rüfus don’t just make “deep house” in my opinion, they take it to the next level. The Vocals in their track “Modest Life” literary take you on a journey. You’ll find yourself singing at the top of your voice and you won’t even mean it or realise you were doing it. This track will make you feel like you’re 18 and it’s summer all year long.
