Progression ~ collaborations by Various Artists

Some collaborations from 2002~2003

This is going to be the last release from the vault, and these are some real bangers that slipped under the radar ...

~ Sativa ~
This was a project that came about naturally with my best mate, Steve McLean, a super-chilled Australian dude.
In the early 2000s, psychedelic trance music was becoming more and more predictable and it all started sounding the same.
Me and the other Steve (who would soon become known as Steve Bad) would often DJ back to back at parties as well as just hanging out and playing tunes. We were much more interested in what was happening on the progressive side of things, from Northern Europe and Scandinavia. These 3 tunes were the style that we were playing in our sets - still really psychedelic, but with a much more progressive vibe.
It culminated in a legendary Australian tour in 2004.

~ Bubble Dragon ~
This was a collaboration with The Papuna, my good mate Amiad, a crazy Israel living in Tokyo at that time.
“Hentai” is the hardest music I’ve ever written.
I kept challenging myself to come up with harder and harder sounds and, every time I thought I’d gone too far, say with a sample of a road drill, I’d play it to Amiad, and he’d always say “Yessss!! Killer …”
Good times ...

Looking back now I find it amazing that I wrote so much music during that period. I was also finishing up the second Double Dragon album, and had started writing the first couple of Puff Dragon tunes.

I hope you like them.
