Dirty South caught the technically transmitted disease of DJing long before he even owned his first set of turntables. He taught himself mixing skills on his NEC tape deck, utilising nothing more than its twin cassette players and a pause button to recreate the sounds of club DJing in the safety of his own bedroom. By the time he got his first decks at the start of the millennium he’d already honed the techniques ready to take on the world of his heroes. At the same time he was mastering the concept of DJing, Dirty South was also readying himself for a future in studio knob-twiddling.
Spurred on by the megamixes that filtered through the radio waves into his disco den, the devious young man hotwired the family computer (once the domain of innocent school projects) with illicit music software smuggled to him by sympathetic allies. Soon he was jacking out his own remixes and edits of sordid club anthems and nasty chart hits.
Wallowing in the grime of his secret life, South soon slid into the murky world of mash-ups and bootlegs. It was only a matter of time before his treachery became notorious around the global underworld and his tracks seeping out of the local clubs and infecting the airwaves from the Australian radio networks to Pete Tong's Radio 1 playlists in the UK. It was only natural that Dirty South was embraced by the twisted, like-minded crew at Vicious who fuelled his perverted pastime with remix duties for some of the biggest artists including Depeche Mode, Chris Lake, Fedde Le Grand, Roger Sanchez, Cicada, Midnight Star and TV Rock. In between remixing, Dirty managed to score two ARIA nominations, Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune and numerous number one chart positions around the globe.
So what’s next? More tunes in the making, remixes and a bunch of DJ gigs to follow.
Its Too Late
Dirty South Lyrics

I'd rather go back to the dreams I'm living in my head
Tuesday evening: Pack my bags, I'm heading out the door
I left a box of memories lying on the floor
Ride on, ride till early morning sun
Ride on, like the dawning of the day
It's too late, to let all your feelings show
I'm running from the city lights
I'm running from this empty life
I'm running out of time tonight
I'm screaming out for "Help! Help!"
"Slow down, your moving too fast
Go home, you'll feel better for it
Oh boy, you better stop dreaming
It's all in your head!"
'Cause it's too late now...
Ride on, ride till early morning sun
Ride on, like the dawning of the day
It's too late, to let all your feelings show
Go on, 'til the night is swept away...
Ride on, ride till early morning sun
Ride on, like the morning of the day
It's too late, to let all your feelings show
Ride on, til the night is swept away...
The lyrics to Dirty South's song "It's Too Late" reflect the struggle of feeling stuck in life and yearning to break free from monotony. The first verse begins on a Monday morning where the singer hesitates to get out of bed and face life's responsibilities. Instead, he wants to retreat back into the comfort of his dreams. By Tuesday evening, the singer has packed his bags and left behind memories while searching for an escape. The chorus urges him to "ride on" and keep moving forward until the pain and uncertainty of the night is gone.
As he runs from the city lights and an empty life, the singer screams out for help, but others tell him to slow down and stop dreaming. They tell him that it's all in his head and that he needs to come back to reality. Despite their advice, the singer keeps moving forward because it's too late to turn back.
The repetition of "ride on" throughout the chorus is a symbol of perseverance and the hope for a new beginning. Although the singer is in pain, he keeps going towards the "early morning sun" as a metaphor for a new day and a fresh start. Overall, the message of the song is to keep moving forward even when life seems tough.

Monday morning: Hesitate, I can't get out of bed
I am unmotivated and struggling to start my day.
I'd rather go back to the dreams I'm living in my head
I prefer to remain in my own thoughts and fantasies.
Tuesday evening: Pack my bags, I'm heading out the door
I am leaving my current situation behind and moving forward.
I left a box of memories lying on the floor
I left behind my past and my memories associated with it.
Ride on, ride till early morning sun
Keep going and don't stop until the sun comes up.
Ride on, like the dawning of the day
Keep pushing forward, just like the sunrise brings a new day.
It's too late, to let all your feelings show
It's too far gone to express how you truly feel.
Go on, 'til the night is swept away
Keep moving forward, until the past is gone and the future begins.
I'm running from the city lights
I am metaphorically running away from my responsibilities and insecurities.
I'm running from this empty life

I'm running out of time tonight
I feel like I am running out of opportunities to make a change.
I'm screaming out for "Help! Help!"
I am desperate for assistance and support.
"Slow down, your moving too fast
You are making decisions too quickly and without enough thought.
Go home, you'll feel better for it
Take some time for yourself and try to relax.
Oh boy, you better stop dreaming
You need to stop fantasizing and start realizing your goals.
It's all in your head!"
Your thoughts and perceptions are impacting your actions.
'Cause it's too late now...
It is too late to reverse the past and make a change.

kenneth herrera this genre was called electro-house, I believe its era has ended shortly after the tecktonik dance became popular.
