LES HUMAINS MÉDIA 2

DNB - AMBIENT 2

The Superfast XI

There is truly no experience quite like the Superfast XI. As we sat around our luggage at the port and watched the ship come in (at midnight), thousands of cars, people, animals, babies and every manner of cargo began crowding in anticipation. As she docked, there was a mad rush of people to be first on - toddlers getting passed overhead and nonnas shovin nonnos out of the way in order to get the best spot.

The 15hr hour ferry could only be described as a lawless wasteland on water. It looked like a mass murder scene from Final Destination - endless limbs, possessions, animals and people scattered everywhere, passed out from heat, sweat and exhaustion (or on their way).

The ingenuity of humanity was on display as people assembled the most amazing sleeping tech from the random collection of objects they could find aboard. There were seasoned sailors with chairs, benches, tents, hammocks and air mattresses turning into the hottest real estate for one night.

I spent most of that night writing this track. Without intention I wrote the angriest, most carnal beat I've ever produced and I think it’s got a lot to do with the Superfast XI experience.

After a windy, hot, sticky and altogether uncomfortable 1hr of sleep, the sun rose and a beautiful day dawned. At 11am, the previously non-existent staff filled the pool - which until this point had been empty with a net over the top (some brave soldier slept on it). I was first in, washing away the entire evenings sweat, salt and any concerns before returning to the chaos for the final hour of the trip.

Somehow this ended up in the track - the middle liquid section was a happy accident I composed before it happened IRL.

I’ll honestly never forget the Superfast XI. Images of people strewn everywhere on the boat, cry-laughing with friends, dancing at sunrise and that sweet sweet dip in the pool flash in my mind every time I play it.

I wrote ‘Joy’ as an expression of gratitude to the people I love; my girlfriend, family, and friends. They’ve been by my side through the coldest and darkest moments; through my grief. My last single, ‘Better days’ represented the transition out of winter into spring. ‘Joy’ represents the summer, a time to share happiness with the people I care about the most. They are my Joy.
