The THUMP Monday Morning Mix Series: GL

A small, furry philosopher once mused on the subject of Mondays and concluded that they were hateable. It's been more or less gospel ever since. Even when you work in hospitality and Monday's your day off, you're usually hungover from working all weekend. We've decided to do our piece and make Mondays that little bit less shit with series of mixes curated by local and international artists, and posted online Monday mornings to ease you into whatever you have to face that day.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Mix Series. Our first guest mix is by Melbourne electronic-dance duo GL, who are dearly loved at THUMP. Having just released single "Grip", with a new album on the way, and their national tour with Client Liaison kicking off in Perth this week, we thought the timing was rather good. Plus, these two are known for their upbeat vibe and their mastery of the dance floor, so we thought who better to work their magic on a Monday?

THUMP: Dear G of GL, what's your perfect Monday Morning record and why?

Graeme: Larry Graham, "I'm Sick and Tired." Because that's usually how I feel on a Monday, but this track is a good cure. Note: Larry Graham is Drake's Uncle. Drake's Uncle invented Slap Bass. I still find that weird.

Best way to pass the time on a morning commute?

Stressing about being fined because I accidentally took my girlfriend's empty Myki by mistake but still need to catch the tram to work. Got away with it.

What's the worst job you ever had?

Drummer for a Buddy Holly tribute show circa 2006 playing prestigious venues such as The Greensborough RSL and The Shoppingtown Hotel. It wasn't all bad though, I like Buddy Holly.
