Touted as Australia's finest live electronic act, Infusion have been clocking up their frequently flyers and wowing audiences with debut international gigs at London's prestigious club "Fabric", NY's "Centro-fly" and LA's uberclub "Spundae". Having played alongside the like of Lee Burridge, Adam Freeland, DJ Dan, Cass, Ils & Grooverider Infusion fly in for this special appearance alongside Dave Seaman, before heading out the next day for a 3 week tour of Asia including Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia" Here are a few words Global Underground and Dave Seaman had to say:
There are many DJs who have enjoyed many column inches for shaping the phenomenon that is modern club culture. For some of these individuals, it was a question of right time, right place and with Dave Seaman everything slipped into place one night at Shelly's back in the late 20th Century… Is he Talented- Yes; Opportunistic- Definitely - and just a little bit lucky - luckyluckylucky…
From producing Kylie, The Pet Shop Boys and Take That; working alongside Garbage, Pulp, Placebo and Blur, Dave has developed into an international star outside of the dance music circles through which many fail to break. His DJ talents alongside his production work with partner Steve Anderson have been further honed as his profile has increased in size (check the life-sized Zerox for a Levi's advert in Japan and a BBC TV documentary on clubbing in Australia which Dave personally presented for proof). And of course, not forgetting his legendary Global Underground mixes…
Ever since he first DJed at the Palace Theatre in St Kilda in 1992, Dave Seaman has been coming back to Melbourne. "I feel so at home here. It's my favorite city in the world," he says. "He's like an adopted Aussie," grins promoter Mark James. Dave's even thinking of buying a flat here. "We can't get rid of him," jibes local DJ Kasey.
We here at GU can't seem to get rid of Dave either, and a good thing too as this, his latest GU mix is undoubtedly his best to date… Once you've let tracks like Our House's 'Soliton Wave' - a balmy, slow-moving introduction that simmers with both tension and beauty - ease you onto Dave's musical rollercoaster, there's no getting off. Seaman squeezes every inch of his skill into his Melbourne set to magically mix genres which don't normally talk to each other. From flighty flamenco to brutal breakbeats, this superlative mix whips you around the world in two CDs.
It's the best mix Dave Seaman has ever done - which is fitting, because the party the mix was based on at the Good Shed, Melbourne is one of the best parties Global Underground has ever done…
For the 'Global Underground Melbourne' launch, Dave will be joined in the main room by the crack local outfit of Sean Quinn, Mark James and Kasey Taylor, with Arlen D'Silva, Dean Cherny, Sam Fraser and Luke Bowditch defending the house room.
Report for duty early, as from 10 to 11pm the DVD shot on the night at The Goods Shed will be shown on massive screens throughout QBH, giving those that were there the chance to see if they made it into the documentary.
