Introducing the creative minds behind Melbourne’s ‘The Tech Collective’:

*** UNDEFINED ***

Hailing from the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand), Undefined has spent over a decade perfecting the craft of DJing a wide variety of bass-heavy electronic music – most considerably the stompier, darker side of Drum & Bass.

His latest creative project, The Tech Collective, has seen a flurry of local and international gigs take flight within the Melbourne Neuro and Tech Drum & Bass scene.

*** ANIMATE ***

Animate was exposed to dance music from an early age. Pioneers of the genre such as Leftfield, Orbital, The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy are just some of the inspirations that helped him develop his passion for electronic music.

Growing up on the outskirts of London, Animate was a mere child when Drum and Bass took it’s earliest forms. Hearing mixes from the likes of LTJ Bukem, Goldie and Omni Trio are what helped shape him into the DJ he is today.

Now located in Melbourne running the ‘Beat Spectrum’ record label and a core member of The Tech Collective, he looks to deliver creative and diverse mixes with nothing but the freshest beats available.

Dense & Pika have also been showing off their remixing talents by reworking the likes of Adam Beyer & Ida Engberg, Digitalism, Disclosure, KDA, Leftfield, Maya Jane Coles, X-Press 2 and also Paul Woolford’s ‘Erotic Discourse’, which won the DJ Mag category for ‘Best Remix’ in 2014.

Touring across the globe on a weekly basis has seen the duo play at the cream of the world’s clubs such as the now legendary Trouw, Panorama Bar, Fabric, Gashouder and international festivals all over the world.

ANTIX:

https://www.facebook.com/ANTIX.FIORD/

Brothers, studio partners and seasoned producers whose achievements to date encompass 4 albums, a fruitful international touring career and an array of heavyweight productions spread across their three monikers Antix, Fiord and Out of Sorts. “The studio being our second home is our creative playground which gives us the confidence to work outside the square. The sound on the Antix album tends to sway to the deeper emotional side with splashes of robotic funk and melancholic Indy dance. The Fiord releases of late are hypnotic dance-floor monsters, we love to pack a punch and give people a thrill and the Out of Sorts releases have been lot deeper and twisted. That’s the advantage of having so many projects, it allows us to evolve in many directions” Hailing from New Zealand with a musical background rich with influences from Ritchie Hawtin to Rhythm and Sound, Barton and Hayden have such a plethora of inspiration. It is indisputable that the quality of their music simply demands your attention

And he established Alchemy, a label that has released work by some of techno’s finest artists, including Adam Beyer, Christian Smith.The Italian DJ and producer first crashed into the consciousness of clubbers the world over in 1998 with the release of the bombastic techno/trance crossover anthem, ‘Lizard’, which rode the crest of the superclub wave into the Top 30 of the UK singles chart. He followed this up in similar fashion with ‘Iguana’, and ‘Komodo’, which was heavily inspired by Deep Forest’s 1992 new age hit, ‘Sweet Lullaby’, reaching number 13 leading to an appearance on Top of The Pops.He now returns with yet another album, A Call In the Club which debuts at No 1 on the Beatport Album chart it constitutes a broad sweep of the eclecticism for which he is renowned.

After over 5500 ticket holders attended last year’s event in Cairns, the massive parklands of the city’s Fogarty Park will host the festival for the third time on Saturday the 14th of October. With the 2016 edition selling out, this year’s chapter will feature even more space and production to accomodate the city’s demand for live music.

On Saturday the 21st of October the event will head south to Mackay for its second edition at the city’s beautiful Botanic Gardens. After 2016’s inaugural event attracted 3000 plus revellers, the festival is well placed to become an annual highlight on the local region’s festival calendar.

The Grass Is Greener team will put a massive focus on nurturing the local regions, and both events will be put together by locals for the locals. Proceeds from BBQs at the events will also be donated back into the local communities.

This year’s lineup will feature arguably the biggest roster of local acts ever assembled for a one day event in Cairns and Mackay. Australia’s premier electronic live duo Peking Duk will headline both cities, with support from Triple J favourite and Adelaide-born rapper Allday; Skrillex’s OWLSA label alumni and former Flume collaborator, What So Not; Melbourne’s Indie Rock darlings British India who just finished recording their sixth studio LP, plus many more…!

Hitting Australian shores with his Absolute Monster Gentlemen for the first time since his 2016 Grammy Award win for new album ‘GoGo Juice’, Jon Cleary has officially announced the Australian leg of his World Tour for this November.

A hot ticket on Australian shores where he has sold out everywhere from Sydney’s Opera House (Legends of New Orleans tour) to The Corner Hotel and torn up festival stages across the country from Bluesfest and WOMADelaide to Wangaratta Jazz, this is a Grammy Award winning album tour not to be missed.

A respected peer of such New Orleans R&B icons as Dr. John and the late Allen Toussaint (who wrote most of the horn arrangements for GoGo Juice) Jon Cleary came to international fame through his work in the bands of Taj Mahal, John Scofield, Dr. John and Bonnie Raitt, with Raitt unabashedly dubbing him “the ninth wonder of the world.”

Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer John Porter (Elvis Costello, Carlos Santana, B. B. King) Cleary says “Funk is the ethnic folk music of New Orleans, and I wanted to infuse ‘GoGo Juice’ with a sound that was true to the city I love.”

Thoroughly steeped in the classic New Orleans keyboard canon – from Jelly Roll Morton to Fats Domino to Art Neville, James Booker, and beyond – Cleary uses that century’s worth of pianistic brilliance as a point of departure to forge his own unique and eclectic style. As heard in the widely varied grooves and textures of GoGo Juice, Cleary’s sound incorporates such far-flung influences as ‘70s soul, gospel music, funk, Afro-Caribbean (and especially Afro-Cuban) rhythms and more. “I love New Orleans R&B, “ Cleary explains.  “I’m a student of it – and a fan, first and foremost.  But there’s little point in just going back and re-recording the old songs – although on my live solo shows, especially in New Orleans, I make a point of trying to keep the fast- disappearing tradition of the R&B pianist/singer alive by playing the old songs that are in danger of being forgotten. As for recording, however, I think the greatest New Orleans R&B records are the ones that built on what went before but also added something new. By writing new songs you get to channel all the music you absorb through your own individual set of filters – and the fun is in seeing what emerges.”

Born in Kent, England to a musical family, Jon Cleary epitomizes the fanaticism and inherent single mindedness of a musician who decides that he simply wasn’t born where he was supposed to be. Like Dylan to New York, infatuated with the music of New Orleans throughout his entire childhood, as soon as he was old enough to leave school, Cleary took off for the Crescent City. When his flight touched down he had the taxi take him straight to the Maple Leaf, a funky uptown bar which then featured such New Orleans piano legends as Roosevelt Sykes and James Booker. 35 years and 8 albums later – he’s now a defining part of New Orleans musical heritage.

Catch Jon Cleary when he brings a piece of New Orleans, a Grammy Award winning new album and his incredible Absolute Monster Gentlemen to a stage near you this November:
