The Best Of The Melbourne Sound (2011-2014)

Original description

Males who wear masks hold the power. They’re mysterious, commanding and strike your curiosity. They like to keep everyone guessing and provoke the ‘art-of-manliness’ if worn correctly. Girls want to be the one to take it off and guys wish they thought of it! Think about it, superheroes always get lucky…

Slice N Dice, founded in November 2011, are an Australian DJ duo, who, produce Electronic Dance Music. The beginning saw Slice N Dice spinning regularly at the biggest nights in their home city of Melbourne. They began to grow in reputations and success alike, which saw them take their show interstate and worldwide.
Slice N Dice’s international breakthrough came with their track “Robots Like To Have Sex.” The track saw DJs such as Chuckie, Global Deejays, Lazy Rich, Borgore, Hirshee, Bombs Away and many more supporting and playing the track. The success of “Robots Like To Have Sex”, saw the boys hit #51 in the Electro House Charts on Beatport. No doubt, this was the track that pushed Slice N Dice’s new sound and put them on the world stage.
Following the success of their first single, Slice N Dice debuted at #41 in the ITM Top 50 National DJ Awards in Australia. Having only been going one year strong, this was an enormous achievement for the duo and something that boosted their name even greater.
This followed with their first International tour with 10 exhilarating shows over the USA and Mexico. The tour was a great success and pushed the boys’ career to new heights, having worked with some of the best in the industry and growing their name in parts away from home.

Having worked with and supported such artists as Sidney Samson, Diplo, Cosmic Gate, Showtek, Tydi, Wippenberg, Wynter Gordon, Fatman Scoop, Stafford Brothers, DJ Whoo Kidd (50 Cent’s DJ), Bombs Away, plus many more, Slice N Dice have done nothing less than impress the industry with their charismatic and energetic show, along with their bass driven tracks!

So, what exactly makes Slice N Dice different from every other duo? A recent article on Clubsguide.com.au, an Australian dance music website, stated the following…

“…Melbourne’s new mysterious duo, Slice N Dice, created the strongest impression of the night while absolutely killing it and sending the crowd into a massive frenzy. These guys, known for wearing differently designed masks at every gig to hide their identity, hit the decks and were being admired like rock gods" (Clubsguide.com.au).”

It looks like we are dawning on a new age of Electro House with this mystifying and crazy Australian duo!

It’s safe to say that you cannot put into words why this talented duo is spreading like wild fire; it’s just something you have to experience.

Melbourne music from mostly 2016-2017 era...

Once Upon A Time In Melbourne

**“Things Just Ain’t the Same” is a raw, unfiltered piece from Samples9ine— a spoken‑word confession wrapped in rhythm, memory, and fatherhood. This track moves between past and present, talking directly to his son, owning mistakes, and promising an open door for the future. It dives into trust, betrayal, growing older, and finding wisdom in the chaos.
It’s emotional, gritty, and honest — blending skate‑culture cadence, life reflections, and the kind of storytelling that only comes from someone who’s lived it. This is Samples9ine processing life in real time, turning pain into bars and truth into rhythm.**

THINGS JUST AINT THE SAME

Next in the Still in Session Studio is another teacher of the old school...Travlos the boss!
The man who's been making every patron of TFU call in sick to work since he first pushed a club to a kick on in one single set. Showing us what his made of, and that is pure, uncut minimal hitting us where the heart is. Renowned for colliding heart warming lyrics with scorching beats this man is turning the heat

Still in Session #07 Travlos

Well, my original attraction to hip-hop, especially freestyle hip-hop, ties in with my ADHD, and from since I could remember, my authoritarians have reminded me that I have a big mouth,
 or I’m a smartass, or that someone will fill my big mouth in one day, so it was an attraction that I could utilize my natural gift of challenging the worship or rebuttal with substance,
 meaning, and mostly understanding at the original time of my training, my brain to speak in rhyme was to outsmart the apparent smart people who know better than to take their words pull them apart restructure them, and have them contradict their own wisdom that was initially to 
teach this big mouth a lesson as schooling was not my strong point whilst at school when I left, I started reading heaps and started teaching myself how to form phonetically correct sentences or to make use of 
adverbs and the funny thing is that when you exceed the level of the
 self-appointed coherence of the coherent, they turn around and say it does not make sense. 
Or is it just waffle and the ignorance of people who are too self-absorbed to see there are more levels than self-appointed elite status I would like to challenge of challenging the elite status of knowledge well, 
I am a tad older these days, so I don't have as much.
 I desire to correct the elders as I am one. Aha, so here we are 20 years on, and I still use rap, the power of words, and DS as a tool to either therapize myself or point out a message that otherwise would. 
just be lost in the shitstorm people like to create also once I have recorded my rebuttal. 
or message that I want to be heard or just unload a load on my own chest it can't be changed, and there is never any he said she said because it is exactly what I said funny people soon start understanding when it is heard by more than their ear, and he doesn’t make sense line doesn’t wash because I’m like well 100000 
Other people got it. Concisely, that’s where my inspiration originally came from. Eminem played a big part in the way I use words, double syllables, limericks, double entendres, etc.
 There are a lot of artists that inspire my way of lyricism, from my written works to my freestyle works. My word selection is very conscious, and I have spent 20 years fine-tuning what was. 
Once, I thought it was impossible to achieve, but I got there. Well, my own goal, anyway, was just to be able to throw a beat on and let my brain take over.


As time inches towards dawn's mistress of light,
daylight glistens and a new chapter of life starts its beginnings.
your troubles left at yesterday's end. make today your own free for you to bend
Set the trend for tomorrow's new
When all is blue remember the next days a new 
And a fresh breath of life waits just for you.

I am who I am
That's
All that I’ll be
You are also.
you
Free to be you.
You
You are who you be?
I won’t ever be tempted to
Ask.
So please don't preach.
My loyalty undoubted its known without speech
All I ask.
We don't burn.
Position of royalty
Our lives gifted.
One to an another
You
To me honest
We stand here as lovers.
What is shared between two?
In fleeting
Moments we breath
Shall be both under this omen.
Time
Shall still stand open
The words
That we spoken
BE life locked in its key
What is shared between lovers?
Not a weapon for SCORN lovers
This be trust.
Fuck
Love
Promise
Both hold true to this promise
Standing present
As lovers
You and me honest
