Feel Trip

We took the layout from Jimmy Kimmel's mean tweets and modified to fit our style. We chose the lake by Macquarie Uni lake as we formed the crew from this university so we thought we film in our origins and also it had great lighting and good vibes.

In the video, DJ Maddog talks about her preference with which genre of music is her favourite. Dj SERTified explains her views on whether 1D should get back together or not, DJ Grant Your Wish spills his feels on the late great AVICII and DJ Mikeyswazz expresses his views on the best Kanye West album. And we clear the air on how we actually form! Dont listen to the rumors guys. This answer explains everything.

Each member of the group wrote 3-5 blog posts about music.
Twitter posts were made by each member about their corresponding Blogger posts.
All member participated in producing, filming and partaking in the video.
The video was edited by Grant.

Peace Out

It's time for the biggest festival in the world...

So I know last post I filled you in with the brilliant Above & Beyond, but now its time to talk about the biggest festival in the world…

TOMORROWLAND

Tomorrowland brings you the biggest and the best electronic dance music and has a variety of hard style, trance, NRG, house, deep house, and progressive. This festival has been going on every year since 2005, and is located in Boom, Belgium. Throughout the years it has progressed to locations within the US and Brazil. Tomorrowland has a scorching 185,000 people from over 75 countries, and people have the option to camp within ‘Dreamville’ or they stay in hotels around the festival.

theme for this music festival constantly changes and explores the idea of a somewhat fantasy world, and the theme for 2018 is “The Story of Planaxis”. It is important to note that this festival is not only about the united group of music lovers but it is a place where people are able to dress up and explore different parts of the universe, integrating with different people around the world.

The 2018 dates for Tomorrowland include Friday, 20^th July till Sunday 29^th July. You will see the biggest DJ’s from all across the world at this event, Armin Van Burren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Tiesto, and W&W, BUT I have saved best till last……

This year, not only will it be the biggest and best year yet, but ABOVE & BEYOND will be playing aswell and will be bringing ANJUNABEATS to Tomorrowland… WOW I’m not crying, you are.

I think I have spoken about it enough for you to be just as excited as I am, I hope to see some of you there in the next few years….. ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR !!!

Final destination on the hype train towards Kanyes new album: Part 2

As promised, ya boy DJ Mikeyswazz delivers the 2nd and final stop of the hype train towards Kayne's new album. These albums are when Kanye started to drift away from hip hop and venture into new genres.

'808's & Heartbreak' was truly an album ahead of its time, it wasn't well received upon initial release as a rapper taking about heartbreak and lonliness was a bold choice at the time but oh my, as time went on and more listens to each song, you can start to understand the emotion and heartfelt messages Kanye has constructed in ways of musical instruments and singing through an auto tune machine. This album changed Kanye Wests musical career as he has left the rap industry and entered a bigger ocean competing with the best artists in America. Most notable song was 'Heartless', this song and many others helped me get over my high school break ups. I will forever thank Yeezy for these tunes.

Kanye West - Heartless

'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' released in 2010, and what can i say... if you haven't listened to it from top to bottom i suggest you put on some earphones or play it on your speakers and marvel at one of the best albums put together in the modern era, in my opinion. This album compiled all the themes and elements of the previous 4 albums such as the soul, electro, orchestra and samples to combine and create the masterpiece it is today. This album took a maximilist tone to its instrumental where they overload the beat with large amounts of different instruments and samples. The lyrical theme is a representation of fame with wide range of emotional highs and depressive lows. This album helped me survive the boring classes in high school with a sly earphone plugged into my ear. The link below is mini movie video clip of the album.

Kanye West - Runaway (Full Lenght Film)

3 years after MBDTF, Kanye West takes a more experimental approach to his album with 'Yeezus'. Im going to be honest here, this album was really weird. There was less rap than usual and more samples of old songs and features of different genre, if im debating whether MBDTF was a rap album, well this album definately is not a rap album, it has influences of acid rock, elctro, drill music and house. BUT just like '808's & Heartbreak' this album became a classic for my playlist as i kept listening to it more with an open approach. Recap: weird album but give it time and embrace the authentic sounds.

Kanye West - BLKKK SKKKN HEAD

'The Life of Pablo' is the latest installment into Kanye West's solo music career, this album dialed the tone down of experimental of using other genre to a more accepted main stream version of modern hip hop. The lyricism in some songs were a bit of a let down as being simplistic and predictable but it was made up for with instrumentals and features which helped carry the album. All in all this was an above average album but nothing special compared to his previous albums. It had every facet of his music career to date, with him singing, rapping and producing bringing it back to the hip hop genre. This album was great in terms of getting the hip hop Kanye West back and not him trying to appeal to the masses of mainstream music. I missed this Kanye, this is the Kanye i grew up and loved, so it was good to see him back at this state.

Now we wait until 1st June 2018, what type of Kanye West will show? Only time will tell, but in the mean time we can listen to the different types of Mr.West.

DJ Grant Your Wish releases his first album

The fruits of 3 semesters of uni, including thousands of assignments, 1 failed unit, maths that doesn't make sense and an underlying ability to avoid making connections at uni has lead to the earphones clogging my ears for thousands of hours. What have they been listening to you may ask? I am a strange person. I don't have 13 playlists depending on my mood or task. I have just one!
The largest proportion of the music included is Tropical House but if you listen for long enough(Good luck, there's over 14 hours) you'll hear some classics such as 500 Miles(The Proclaimers), September(Earth Wind and Fire) all the way to Flumes HyperParidise remix. Not everything is gonna float your boat but you sure as hell might find some bangers to bop along to.

JB BABY

DJ SERTIFIED HERE!

Hope you enjoyed my post last week, if you missed out on it check it out please HERE

Listening to my old throwback playlist and guess what comes on?? Justin Bieber – One Time. What a hit that 2011 pop tune was. I can just imagine my 12 year old self turning the radio up to MAX volume!

From being discovered at the age of 12 on YouTube by his now manager (Scooter, thanku), JB has now (as of June 2017) got a net worth of around $225 million… How incredible is our musical genius? I’m obsessed.. STILL.

How can we talk about JB without mentioning his new hit ‘Friends’! It’s so gorgeous. His musical talent never ceases to amaze me.

If you haven’t already, give this gorgeous piece a listen HERE.

That’s all I’ve got for you today, DJ SERTIFIED out. xoxo
