Hey, Steve Hill!!

Saw your post in the Solid sunday thread. Congrats on \"Looking back\", it kicks ass in the mix!
Seen you play at a few nights over the past couple of years in london. Very cool...
Whats next on the production front, and when are you coming home to NZ to play?
Lastly, why do i have a \'(Tell Me)Toy boy\' white label saying Volts Wagon produced it?

Yeah been pretty busy here in London.
Production wise recording under various guises including Mr. Bishi, Volts Wagen, Phlash!, Nylon and a few more I can\'t mention!
Just finished Lock N Load vs Mr. Bishi which will be out in April, and a track with Club Caviar.
Busy remixing including everyone from Kylie to Kumara.
The new Volts Wagen 8 is a version we did of Push \'Universal Nation\' with added vocals \'Drugs taking their lives away!\'
Got made Hard House DJ to watch in 2002 in DJ magazine and listed as one of the Top 10 DJ\'s on the circuit in IDJ magazine!
Having a meeting this afternoon to discuss my impending Australia / NZ tour in April this year.
I\'ll have final dates next week...will be mental!

Ah, so that explains the Volts Wagon issue.

Damn boy, i didnt realise you where Nylon and Phlash! too! Just got \'If you love me\' which is a nice crossover track from HH to Hard Trance.

congatulations man, sounds like you are living the dream of many of us aspiring kiwi dj\'s (any tips on cracking the UK scene?).

Out of curiousity, how long does it take in general to put out a record (including b-sides)?

Well, keep on doing what your doing.

Ahhh... everytime I hear the frantic theme or dutch drum attack for that matter I can\'t help but cast my mind back to the memorable Cranking tour. Seeing you play at Crash was was even better!

A return around April would be great!!! The surf should be cranking at that time of year still

.. and sooo many alises! I don\'t think anyone knows them all.. I count six myself... I wonder how many more there are? hahaha.

Roll on April!

i read what i wrote and thought i\'d get slagged for writing how good things are for me here.
but seriously i travel the world and all i do is sing the praises of nz!
there is a lot more i do recording wise but all will be revealed in time!
miss the surf so much so don\'t rub it in dave or you won\'t get sorted with promos when i arrive!
volts wagen 9 might be the remix we did of moby \'porcelain\' - but time will tell...
the only way to crack london is be prepared to put in 80 hour weeks! no easy way...

Steve, dont ever downplay what you have done. Im with jay in saying you are doing what a fair few of us would like to do.

Oh, and nice work on \'Volts Wagon - No Sleep\'. Love the insomnia sample!

Hi Steve
You\'re wicked! Come and play in NZ soon! I wanna hear some good music in Welli.

Shit. I just had to say that Toy Boy rocks.. I was jamming it up last night to a big crowd of one at the events center other people refer to as \'Daves Lounge\', and I just couldnt help but smoke up the room and jump round like a mad person. Nice track!

TOY BOY was made for people like you! Mad bad and phunky to know! Hey I'm taking Sample Gee out for lunch tomorrow - he's here for a conference I'm going to as well - remember him? he he he...

Vague recollections.. hahah.

Watch out though, he'll probably end up lagered to the eyeballs... make sure its a place that dosn't do burbon.

Kylie is the bizzo. Even Sam Hill bought one which is saying something.

im hanging out for the Follow Me Remixes.

nice Kumara mix of Signum - What Ya Got 4 Me too By the way.

any plans to release the Firestarter Voltswagen?

Going out drinking with Gee tomorrow night now - had meetings all day today and am off to Holland for the day before a drinking session with Gee - heaven help me!
'Follow Me' remixes by Mr Bishi, Pants and Corset and Jon Doe + Bunter - seriously one of the biggest HH tunes you'll hear for a while!
Glad Sam likes the Kylie mix!
Am sorting out pressing some Firestarters...Nick you'll be the first to know!

steve how about remixing a classic old new zealand tune like we were talking about last time. it would go thru the roof in april.......

how about the swingers or the exponents??

What about Dave Dobbyn - Slice of heaven.... ??

Take that riff -
Da da da-a
da da da-a
da da da-a
daa de da de daa

Crank it up to 140 bpm, Drop in a cranking basedrum, some really steelie sounding high hats, long strings and a cheeky baseline. Maybe a trancy female vocal 'Your moonlight shines over my horizion, shes a slice of heaven'..??

I'm hearing it now I tell ya!

DJ Daydream (Australian) did a Happy Hardcore mix of Slice Of Heaven in 1996 (I think) my god it was bad.

I still reckon A Country Calender theme. (like Darktower did).

Or it's a dog life.

heh heh, I was joking!

What about someone like Deep Obsession or Purrr?

Kylie is one thing - Dave Dobbyn is not in the same class!! pft!
Go the Kylie remix!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Kylie minogue, youve got to be kidding.

Nup! Remix rocks - have you HEARD it??
or are u an offended loyal dave dobbyn fan

Chill! I am doing a remix of a classic NZ tune tune and changing the lyrics... "Naaaaa...Naaaaa....Na Na Na...Forget about your last one - neck yourself another!" - should be a laugh!
As for Kylie - she is all class - but I wouldn't touch Victoria Beckham or Geri if you paid me!
We're doing the new Volts Wagens next week - one of them is a remix of Vincent De Moor "Floatation" for Virgin - we're gonna scribe some messages on the record for a laugh - Sam Hill and Nick Collings - watch out you're the first! Sample Gee filled me in on all your dark sides!
Live in fear!
:o)

Please tell me your joking, steve!

Flowtation?!? No way!!

Put ME down for one and I'll throw that damn Pants and Corset mix away!

We're doing Minimilistix for Universal/DATA, Vincent De Moor for Virgin, and now Simple Minds (my idols!)...and I've just been offered a couple more but I wanna get The Dudes out of the way first!

Steve
