Brain Matters on the way to a gig

The Central Coast is an urban region in the Australian state of New South Wales, located on the coast north of Sydney and south of Lake Macquarie.

The Central Coast has an approximate population of 299,000 making it the third largest urban area in New South Wales and the ninth largest urban area in Australia. Geographically, the Central Coast is generally considered to include the region bounded by the Hawkesbury River in the south, the Watagan Mountains in the west and the southern end of Lake Macquarie in the north.

Brain Matters are a DJ/Production due consisting of Vacation Record’s very own Northie and Benson who was one of my first musical discoveries a few years back plus he is fantastic for the economy at this time of the year.

The boys musical taste, production style and djing techniques help balance this duo and make it so great, they are a great compliment for each other and offer free prostate examinations at all of their gigs.

Now what does the Central Coast & Brain Matters have in common, well besides Sea FM the boys are the greatest musical product from the Central Coast. They have done official remixes for RQM and MC Mego (out on onelove) and have made killer bootlegs of Sandstorm, The Weekend and Raven to name a few plus some promotional remixes for the Cassette Kids & Hey Now.

Music time, I have three tracks for you today.
First up is a nice bootleg of Art Vs Science’s Parlez Vous Francais, Benson delivers another killer remix of a track from back in the day, and finally a Northie remix for a UK singer song writer. Each of the boys individual works show how diverse they can be and the BM bootleg shows how they combine these elements to make something special.

♪ Art Vs. Science – Parlez Vous Francais (Brain Matters Bootleg)

♪ Will Smith – M.I.B (Benson Bootleg)

♪ Sam Little – Fallin (Northie Remix

What cannot be said about Central Coast DJ/Producer Aaron Lee North?

Well for starters he was a runner up on FBI’s underage sets for consectuvie years, he is already a big name in the Sydney music scene holding down residencies at Chinese Laundry, Moulin Rouge and Candy’s. His production work also hasn’t gone un noticed having been signed to Bass Kleph’s Vacation records and as a dj he is managed by the aweome Jam Music crew. I truly believe he is a man with a great future in this music industry. He has also formed a production/DJ duo with fellow Central Coast boy Benson the crew is well known as Brain Matters DJ’s and the spearhead of his own design company entitled Heres Johnny Promotions.

and to think he only just turned 20…

I guess I could write all I want about what he has done, and how good he is, but too be honest the truth is in the pudding. Northie has sent me a few of his latest tracks, on offer today we have a clever little bootleg sampling the Fresh Prince, a multi layered mash up and a remix for Melbourne band For Our Hero.

♪ Northie – Looking Fresh (Fresh Prince Bootleg)
♪ Northie – JSided (Jesse Rose, Justin Timberlake, Kelis Mashup)
♪ For Our Hero – Mr. Prozac (Northie Remix)

Bonus:

I think this is pretty much a match made in heaven, two of my favorite up and coming producers at the moment are Hey Now & Brain Matters, well I have just been sent through the Brain Matters remix of Hey Now’s epic track Bring That. Remember to get Hey Now’s debut ep simply type in “Hey Now Queens Boulevard”  into Itunes and you can purchase it for the low cost of $7!
