Making sense of Senses.

I just had a dream where Jeremy Clarkson recognized me from when I hung out with him in a dream I had months ago.

Jurassic Swing.

I BOLTED home to share with you his latest track.

But alas, it is unreleased and I have to keep my big mouth shut!

I left you a little hint in the title.

Hailing from Adelaide, Australia Sonny Fodera's story is starting to gain momentum; having started producing music at a young age he has established himself as one of Australia’s premier deep jackin house dj's and producers, artist/remixer.

As a dj, his signature sound showcases smooth technical wizardry combined with a music selection geared to satisfy even the most discerning house music listeners.

He has inspired me since the tender age of 15

and his tunes echo throughout most of my dj sets.

Sonny Fodera H2O South Africa Promo Mix 2010 by sonnyfodera

I wanted to record in writing

all the sounds your clothes made as they hit my floor

but my memory has faded to dust

and you're not listening;

i'm high all the time.

WEED will get you through times of no money

better than money will get you through times of no weed.

I found my sound (cloud)

A mix that is completely and utterly me!

You can almost tell what i'm thinking during each track.

Promiscuous of course.

DJ Valentine - I Found my Sound by djvalentine

WHY SO RESTLESS VALENTINE?

(i want to play some games.)

PLEASE!!!!!

On this side of brightness.

your smile elates my soul on even the rainiest of days.

I could breathe you.

sweet seduction in a magazine

A sense of proportion or priority?.

Many tell me my life is too short for wisdom.

They pick up the first set of standards they find and adhere to them for no particular reason.

This, they claim, gives them a sense of value and morality.

Life has taken much out of me lately. I have so much to give but cannot summon the hope to express it....

I'm staring into space counting the days until my release. Yet my cell door is wide open! I am a pardoned prisoner! what is keeping me?

Sometimes we take repetition for granted... The same old dramas crop up. We shrug our shoulders and go through the same emotional responses. None of us are obliged to be stuck in syndromes. You don't have to be a victim of forecast!!

Normally I am capable of handling my interactions with others in a capable matter. Today, however, i find it hard to find the right balance between inspiration and the execution of my plan. It may be a smarter idea to let the specifics slide while I am guided by my principles.

But all this aside. Today is not a day to be in routine, I am going to drop my barriers and allow this energy to pour through me.

The tortoise and the hare

I know the moral of the story doesn't apply to every circumstance in life. But I often find myself in a situation that does cry out for this basic principle.

MORE HASTE. LESS SPEED.

Right now, I forget every other piece of traditional wisdom that I have heard, provided I remember how that slow but steady creature beat its more powerful opponent.

I am never ever dissuaded, desperate or dramatic. I just proceed.

I have lost myself in a vision. My dreams play in my head like a broken record. They never fade or admit failure. I am constantly making mistakes (mostly within the public eye), but I learn from them and bring myself one step closer to the dream. the goal. the one things I am ALWAYS thinking about.

I am, in a strange way, a victim of my own success.

My special gifts have created the kind of complications that may never surface in the life of a lesser mortal.

I am not trying to suggest I am sme kind of superman, but I could remove alot of pressure by demonstrating the true extent of my love for success!

For now, I'm happy hiding in the blurred haze of disco lights of Flinders.

Socially biting your tongue now

It's 1am and i cannot contemplate the ache of sleep; i'm drifting slowly into a blurred haze of regret

Come in! Come in!

the world is made up of polar opposites. Perceptions change. What we thought was pretty one day we consider ugly the next. Our perceptions are all we have to judge with and ironically, we have no way of knowing to what extent of our conscious reality is true.
By combining opposites we symbollically create a more complete reality. If we had all the answers life would stop. There would be nothing for us to explore, dream or learn.

I am so pre-occupied with the use of fantasy to compensate for what i am unable to objectively explain. Interestingly, our fabricated answers are always spectacular!! If we see a light in the sky, we immediately think UFO!

If we hear a creak in the hallway we immediately think we are haunted by spirits! We don't even consider the boring possibilities!
I am so excited to be apart of such a complex universe.

Sorry I'm dribbling

goodnight

To the basement people. To the basement!

This song has overwhelmed my waking consciousness breached the tide walls of my sanity and has left goosebumps creeping up my spine everytime I hear his voice.

Gigs this week

Come check me out at my new sunday residency!

Every Sunday at The Bank!

The club Wednesdays

And shock horror at Moulin Rouge

Arriving on the scene earlier this year with their debut album Acolyte, you’d be forgiven for almost writing Delphic off. Looking at their track record, the Manchester three-piece had all the touchstones to present themselves as just another buzzed about UK group that wouldn’t manage to live up to its own hype. For starters their concoction of electro and brooding indie could be viewed as some opportunistic trend-jumping and there was their hook-ups with hipster-centric labels like Kitsune and Modular working both for and against the band.

Check out their new Phoenix remix.

This too; shall pass

The quote, in itself, is simple. The true wisdom to be found in its meaning is revealed in the story from which the quote originates. Whether it serves as a reminder or this is the first time you hear it....

King Solomon, feeling blue, asked his advisors to find him a ring he had once seen in a dream.
"When I feel satisfied I’m afraid that it won’t last. And when I don’t, I am afraid my sorrow will go on forever. Find me the ring that will ease my suffering." he demanded.
Solomon sent out all of his advisors, and eventually one of them met an old jeweller who carved into a simple gold band the inscription, "this too shall pass." When the king received his ring and read the inscription, his sorrows turned to joy and his joy to sorrows, and then both gave way to equanimity.

You see, the great King found himself unable to be content. He felt sorrow when he was happy, and sorrow when he was not, because he was unable to see his way forward. The ring served to cancel out his sorrow. By constantly having something to look forward to, he found himself content. What he previously thought was satisfaction was only a superficial feeling that was brought on by his great wealth, which was only temporary, thus his satisfaction could not last forever. True satisfaction could only be found when he recognised his wealth for what it was.

Life can be your ring. This too shall pass. Believe that, and you will have found your peace with the process of moving forward in life.

There is happiness to be found in realising that you are already happy.
Happy that you've finally allowed yourself to be happy.

Taking your clothes off is my new favourite thing to do!

Get off your High Horse baby; I don't need a ride tonight

We see the same old shows on the televison.

We pass the same shops on our streets.

We think to ourselves "I know this world; I know what it contains - and what it has to offer me."

We think there is very little we haven't encountered or experienced.

Your expectations are based on experiences that relate to your past. not your future.

I hold my head high. Walk Tall. Be proud.

I cannot let myself feel small or vulnerable or I will break.

My life is one big confidence trick. The trick is simply to have confidence.

If I pull everyday off with at least LOOKING like I have it together. Then I succeed.

I am burning the candle at both ends and can feel the heat.

To the male who grabs my attention for more than 3 minutes. I take my tophat off to you.

My Dick.

Definitely dropping this somewhere very soon.

Fix your Agenda

Be drunk; always. Nothing else matters; this is my sole concern.

To ease the pain as time's dread burden weighs down upon your shoulders and crushes you to earth, you must be drunk with respite.

Drunk with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you please.

But, please, be drunk.

Munky Hustle.

As most of you know, my father brought me up on a very strict diet of house music and appreciation for beer.

The first record I ever owned was produced by Inland Knights. Instead of worshipping the Spice Girls, I was in absolute adoration with these boys and the originality of their music for most of my teenage years.

I was lucky enough to see them here in Sydney last year and I still have goosebumps just thinking about it.

Here they do a collabo with the pair of brothers (as in, having the same mother) known as Da Sunlounge on some White Label bootleg style shits. You'll know why this release had to go this route when you hear what they sampled...

Bondi Fashion Warehouse

To all you fashion and party people,

If you are one of the may sydneysiders who will be crossing the line for the City to surf this weekend at Bondi Beach why not keep heading up the road to, 2 Jaques Ave - FASHION AVE - where you can relax and enjoy this amazing event under the same roof as Sydney's hottest designers!

The hottest looks for this season by amazing AUSTRALIAN designers and the NYC Scene
- Clothing, Accessories , Arts and shoes what more could a girl ask for on a lazy Sunday?

Laze on the lounges enjoy a bevvie at the bar and grab a bite to eat from the BBQ grill

DJ Valentine ftd at Moulin Rouge, Greenwood Hotel and Theclub Sydney will be mixing the tunes to set the Sunday Vibe.

Miss Katie Valentine... If you've never partied with Valentine, or seen her play, you have missed out.

Expect to see some skin, and a highly energized, sexualised and funkasized set which will leave you getting down and wanting more.


Fashionistas all festivities will commence Sunday 8th August from 10am - 6pm

I can't play this game forever; I will never really leave

I tell people i like things and holding hands.

Secretly, however, I doodle on my knickers with a sharpie; and eat crumpets in bed.

I adore the little affairs that reside my life.

I ove potential in humans.

I own a lot of leather and black lace.

I wish i could pout provocatively.

I like flesh coloured hosiery; but everyone tells me its a faux pas.

To get a rainbow; first you must have sunshine at the same time as rain.

Sometimes it is only when we face the worst we realise the best.

The power of my imagination is strong enough to turn my dreams into something real.

Unfortunately my current circumstances are not so accommodating and I am required to pick up the pace before I am ready.

I am feeling challenged as instability continues to plaque me.

I would prefer not to have to worry about which parts of my life may fall apart and what that might mean to me in my present position.

But I cannot enjoy the luxury of consistency now;

I must float downstream on the currents of change and observe how I react to these surroundings.

My first review hehe: "Miss Katie Valentine... If you've never partied with Valentine, or seen her play, you have missed out. Expect to see some skin, and a highly energized, sexualised and funkasized set which will leave you wanting more." - Thanks Rouge.

Come check out the launch party this friday night.!

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach.
The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

a webcam with motion detection scans my dreams. I worry constantly who will steal my spotlight of success! The first night, i am a cheating lover. The second night, a girl points to a slideshow on my ceiling. She says this is what john lennon knew and this is why he was shot.

Third night? Im guessing my brain will bypass my ear.

Cut Dick.

July gigs

Let's do this.

the artist;

Whose been sleeping in my bed and eating my porridge?

I have been in conscious hibernation for so long that I have no idea! For the first time in years I can let out a sigh of relief. I am edging towards a defining moment, it may be very subtle but it involves me reaching a profound inner-awakening, not enacting some pathetic drama. I insist I can do anything I want, as long as it was different to what I did the day before. I will never break with the tradition that has become almost an obstacle for me; my own way.

I never chose my battles wisely and ended up a winner too exhausted to enjoy my success.
My dreams have slipped out beyond the boundaries of unconscious sleep, breached the tide walls and are now overwhelming my waking consciousness
'what goes up must come down' that sounds like a rather disappointing adage until we remember the role applies in reverse. what goes down must come up; no triumph lasts forever nor does any 'disaster' oblige us to spend our lives being miserable.

Evidence of the divine is suddenly all around me, a higher power is hard at work guiding my life i can feel it and am acknowledging it with gratitude. Fantasies now distract me from reality. I half fear I am stuck on a cloud and am ashamed to let others know how deeply lost in a vision I have become. Yet, I cannot abandon my quest, I am not working against hopeless odds.
Money cannot buy profound insight and divine patience, spiritual attainments are rarely valued as highly as financial gains yet they count for far more

It is time to give my mind the inspiration, relaxation and attention it has been crying out for.
