Texitorial - Nick Wales & Sarah Blasko

We live at a time when distractions from reality are never further away than our fingertips. Our phones offer us unlimited stimulation and temporary comfort. The possibilities of technology are endless, but they also limit the possibility…the possibility to truly experience and submit to the moment.

For me, going to a club has always been about letting go of the world around me, like a vacation from the nagging realities of everyday life. In the best clubs I have been to, the people were united by a desire to experience electronic music in the purest sense; to get lost in its tension and release. No matter what was going on in their lives, it was a place where, for at least a few hours, nothing else mattered but the sheer power music had to bring people joy. And those experiences - held only by those in that room, at that moment - were almost like the reward to submitting to a secret society. At the end of the night, I could look at my friends, old and new, and without saying a single word, we'd know that what we experienced together was something special, something that would never quite be repeated again.

Some of my early clubbing experiences have stayed with me for my entire life. They are why I'm doing what I'm doing today. There is not a photo, forum thread or social media post in existence to mark their happening, but the memories, the emotions I felt, the way those nights changed my life - those things stay with me to this day.

Somewhere along the way, we as a society have lost the ability to experience those special moments. On the rare occasion that they do happen, we scramble to grab our phones in time to capture them - but those moments cannot be truly captured - and they don’t need to be broadcasted or recorded. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is fully appreciate what is happening in that room, at that moment, with those people around us. 

I think our society needs clubbing experiences where they go home with more than just a picture to post on instagram. That's why I'm starting This Never Happened - I want to create that experience for people.

At This Never Happened, we invite you into a space where the only thing that matters are the people in that room, the music and the magic that happens when those things interact. An event where the dancefloor will be a phone and photo-free space.

This experience we share together may, by 2016 standards, have never happened. But those who dare will always know - something special did happen here. 

The first show will be a return to my hometown of San Francisco on 3 June at Mezzanine. It's a venue I've dreamed of headlining for many years and the perfect place to start this new chapter. If we can make this happen - and work - together, there will be many, many more. 

This Never Happened will not just be the name of these events, but also the name of a new record label. This label will be the outlet for music, by me, that is inspired by and made for this experience. The first song I'm releasing is called "Fingerprint" and you can listen to it below.

Putting this project together with my team over the last 6 months triggered a creative spark in me unlike anything I've ever felt before, and I'm so excited for you guys to hear the music I've come up with during that time.

I look forward to building this concept with you :)

Love,
Daniel

pretty face with pretty bad dreams
no one knows i cry in my sleep
waking up feeling like shit
its a normal thing to feel like this

i dont care im feeling down
i wanna stay home
never go outside
summer depression comes every year
i just want to dissapear

summer depression
there's so much time to question my life
summer depression
its my 
summer depression

my worst habit
is my own sadness
so i stay up all night
wondering why
im so tired all the time

all my friends are doing things
its good for them
but im nothing
summer depression comes every year
i just want to dissapear

summer depression
there's so much time to question my life
summer depression
its my 
summer depression

AUSTRALIA STREET

It was a real sunny we were chilling in the land
Of the Camperdown park nobody had a frown
Reminiscing on the days when we used to have a blaze
Everybody came around and we laxed out on the laze
And I remember when we'd drink
And we'd smoke and we'd spar and we'd laugh
And the night would just go on and on
For the rest of my life that memory will stay man
Fuck that was a good time

I dont feel afraid from you
Cuz I'm high - chewing on your taste
Forever feels like such a waste
So many places to be, people to meet, in tropical heat

See now this is the time when everything was perfect
We can jump around to the sound of the music
When you feel it the bass jumping through the tremelo
Passages just seem to go real real slow
And this is what I want and this is what you get
Come and share a toast for all these times we recollect
From the start into these bends we unwind our weary heads
Being clever never sweats ya when forever has no end

You can not contemplate on all of what we've mastered
Compelled by different women as a strong current passes
All the little organisms swirling through the white
All my rested hollow bones ready to pick a fight
All my pity gets witty and driven through the sky
All the faces that change the same smile far and wide
I was coming down the other day next thing I was years away
I only wish that we could stay MY BRUDDAZ
