I’ve just had the chance to take part in a very unique event and I must say that it really has inspired me and I feel very honoured to have been chosen to take part. Moto Mash Up was an event that saw DJs/producers teaming up with some of Thailands biggest Indy rock bands mixing and mashing there styles and productions together. The line up consisted of DJ Spyda Monkey vs Scrubb, Suharit vs Mint and Myself vs SLot Machine. The whole event was created and organised by DJ Seed. The plan was to use 3 songs that I have released, One of them my own production and the other 2 were tracks that were on the Asia Bass Compilation. The tracks were Since you left me by DJ Dragon(me), DJ DX’s Radioactive and 56k’s Hysterical Idiots. Those tracks were then taken back to the studio remixed and re edited by Seed, only this time fusing them with SLot Machines tunes Parn, Dream and I forgot the name of the other one( my bad ). To be honest I was very skeptical at first . I love rock n roll but as of lately I really thought of Indy rock as being a bit too artsy and I didn’t really think that the two styles would be able to mix. The first practice session went by really well being it that it was the first time for me to meet the band. We met up at the studio and jammed together for the whole day. I really thought it was cool to be able to see the band playing just as well and with so much emotion both in the studio and on stage. For the whole time I thought how the hell could I measure to there skill and talent? I remember we had a really hard time trying to get my mixing and there playing in sync and, I was really worried that I might be making them think that this whole project was a waste of time. Either way the band treated me as if I were one of there own and we had a really cool time hanging out together. I’m sure they were as bit as skeptical as I was but when the day of the show came all the moto mash up crew were really amped to get on stage. Everybody was pretty much just hanging out and drinking in the dressing rooms. The first group that took to the stage was Spyda Monkey and Scrubb then, Suharit and MInt and last were myself and SLot Machine. I was really drunk by the time we performed but and all I remember was just jumping around in the booth. haha oh well I mean it was the closest thing I’ve ever been to playing with a live band and when you get on a stage and theres an arena full of people watching, I was fucking charged with andrenaline hehe. We ended up performing two songs together and after that it was time for me to get my sorry drunk ass off stage and let slot machine continue. After watching them play live all I could think of in my head was “boy can these dudes rock”. I think they really go all out on stage jumping around, headbangin’ and just going crazy. Not very artsy at all! That show was intense. Over all I ‘m really deeply inspired and honoured to have shared the stage with such a great bunch of musicians and I will never forget being able to partake in this unique and entertaining experience. I just bought Slot Machines new album and hopefully I ‘ll see them one last time this weekend and get them to autograph the cd. Also big shout outs to p’seed for having the balls to create and organise an event this spectacular.
