Sampology announces his 2012 Super Visual Apocalypse Tour. Get ready to boogie down with all your favourite, most kick-ass movie characters.
I literally squealed when I saw this. And then tried to pass it off as a really funky sneeze, which didn't really fool anyone. In my defence, SAMPOLOGY is one of my favourite artists ever, and this is why: I still remember the first time I saw him, years ago, and it was one of the best nights of my life. Man does that boy know how to get a party started - his DJ-ing alone is great, but what makes seeing SAMPOLOGY really amazing is that he's an audiovisual DJ - and, in my opinion, one of the best audiovisual DJs in Australia. He mixes up clips from movies so that the characters are moving or dancing or doing things IN TIME TO THE MUSIC.
Can you imagine how much effort it takes to sort through hundreds of minutes of film footage, pick out all these great bits and pieces, and put them together in time to a whole party's worth of well mixed songs? I was more than a little bit impressed. It means that going to a SAMPOLOGY gig feels a little like you're partying down with all your favourite movie characters. The kid's a total movie geek, and it shows in the best possible way. It really is a fantastic experience, it adds a whole new dimension to the music and it's hard to be a sook and spend the night slouching over by the wall when Bruce Willis is dancing his ass off in front of you.
