Time for another post. Lucky this one was fun
I recently caught up with Joe from Our Adventure, and this is how it went...
LGGS: Where you from fool?
Our Adventure: Melbourne dude! Heart and soul of Australia!
LGGS: Melbourne is making Australia look pretty good at the moment. What got you into producing/deejaying/fluro? Any musical background?
Our Adventure: DROP THE PRESSURE!!! To me that song was the basis of lo-fi dance music!
It started it all! And the first remix that I did was of drop the pressure, it was an 80’s sounding synth riff with drop the pressure running through the back, not particularly proud of it but none the less it was a remix!
As for musical background well I play piano going on 4 years now so yeah got my stuff sorted haha!
LGGS: What made you think it was time for a name change?
Our Adventure: Well Yes! Didn’t have as much power as I wanted and it was only one word!
But yeah made a lot of good contacts and friends while producing under Yes! So there are no regrets or anything like that!
Our Adventure! Is been getting a lot of feedback and good reviews from friends and other artists!
LGGS: Personally I think its wicked ha. For all the losers who don’t know, describe the Our Adventure’s sound
Our Adventure: Our Adventure! Is a combination of Grum and Bag Raiders!
We like to keep the sounds light and to have a tropical feel about them so it doesn't get boring listening to!
LGGS: Lets get Tropical. What are you keener on, producing originals or doing the killer remixes you have provided us with?
Our Adventure: Dude at the moment im up for anything, if there is a song that I like and think it needs something edit or remix it!
I really like the way that our Surf Team RMX came out and the way our passions remix came out so I guess ill be releasing some more remixes in the weeks to come!
LGGS: I fucking hope so.
LGGS: In terms of other artists, who are some of the dudes that you look up to? Influences?
Our Adventure: Bag Raiders are the biggest influence of mine, it's just their originality. I have every song the have made including the stuff they did before they were as big as they are now: ‘Smoking’, ‘Tekno Party!’ and even their Christmas track! They did amazing work on their original Nil by Mouth and Turbo Love if you haven’t heard them get them NOW!
LGGS: What’s on the horizon homie?
Our Adventure:Everything dude! We have a few up and coming remixes coming up!
I spoke to Ash Le Rouge and Clark Kunt recently and they are going to be putting a spin or Theme to Our Adventure!
Going to be popping some remixes and originals out very soon just to keep you guys exited we are chucking a spin on Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic! So definitely look out for that on the blogs!
LGGS: Exclusive rights to Les Gamins Gros Sucent of course.
HA, well as you can tell he's a fucking good guy. So get on over to the myspace: www.myspace.com/itsoutadventure
