House Of Mirrors :
Australian installation artists Christian Wagstaff and Keith Courtney were commissioned to create House of Mirrors in partnership with their award-winning creative studio Creative Production Services for Dark Mofo 2016, one of Australia’s most subversive and unique festivals.

They used precise geometry and spatial design, as well as 40 tonnes of steel and 15 tonnes of mirrors, to create their modern, minimalist twist on the fairground classic. The installation focuses on the darker side of altered perception, playing with themes of uncertainty, claustrophobia, apprehension, uneasiness, thrill, panic and paranoia.

Christian Wagstaff said house of mirrors attractions had been trapping and reflecting participants, challenging those that venture into them, both physically and psychologically, since the 19th century.

Buxton Records bring 2018 to a close with a two-track release from Brisbane-based Chris George. A mainstay of the Buxton family, Chris returns with his second release on the imprint, after the “Love vs Pain” EP in 2015. Since then, Chris has forged a reputation as prolific as both a producer and DJ; a purveyor of rich, emotive journeys and lush soundscapes. The “Gotas De Agua” EP is a testament to this — inviting the listener on a deep dive. Despite holding onto this EP for a few years now, this offering of warm, enveloping house sounds more current than ever; suited for sunny afternoon listening, through to an intimate club setting. 

Not unlike its name, Deep Water Exploration is a sonic observation of just that. It conveys a deepness through its warm keys and a curiosity with the arpeggios which flutter throughout. The listener is taken on a journey of the depths of the ocean as if gliding through cool, crystal clear water. In Floating Over To You, we resurface. Sunny chords sail alongside a punchy, Kerri Chandler-esque kick, and sustains its pace throughout until closure.

Live @ W Sessions: #4 - Balearic Beat

Brisbane ex-pat and full-time Berliner Jad & The gifts us an hour of blissfully sweet listening. Alongside being a regular producing contributor to labels like Toy Tonics, Axe On Wax, Down By The Lake, 2MR and FINA record labels, he also co-runs the imprint Beats Of No Nation which has featured guest collaborations from heavyweights Seb Wildblood, Folamour, Urulu, and Fouk.

Fresh from a spicy guest mix at the notorious Red Light Radio Amsterdam institution, and a brand new EP released on Sloth Boogie titled ‘Bells Creek Road’, Jad & The takes us on a sonic exploration through electronic, Italo, with the sprinklings of some acid and dream house.

Novelcast 14: Jad & The

* Pre-order: juno.co.uk/products/jad-the-bells-creek-road-ep/727529-01/

This is ostensibly a post in promotion of a hot new release. The record in question is from Berlin-via-Australia house veteran Jad & The (formerly of the problematic moniker Jad & The Ladyboy). It comes via reliable London wax purveyor SlothBoogie, and is, from top-to-bottom, a well-crafted collection of moody deep house fit for early summer sessions on the Spree. 

But the track in question here, in particular, is the release’s A2 remix, courtesy of Istanbul’s Aleksandir. And if you don’t remember that name, now would be a good time to take note.

Operating within the somewhat niche, online-oriented sector of club music that we follow, Aleksandir has been releasing music for a few years, but really hit new heights in 2018 on the strength of his track “Yamaha”. Simply put: the thing was a straightaway hit. The Youtube page accrued 4 million hits, and, like Pepe Braddock’s “Deep Burnt” before it, the video is now integrated into your “Up Next” stream pretty much any time you click on any video related to modern dance music. 

That success has landed Aleksandir plays on BBC, and accrued him an online following that includes over 60,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. 

Because you are probably friends with him on Facebook and have possibly talked with him a bit, you might be inclined to seeing his success as quaint or as just the well-deserved applause that can accompany a well-timed release (a fluke, really, you might tell yourself). 

True, there is certainly a measure of fortune involved with achieving status in an industry as online-oriented as this one; in an industry where algorithms and playlist supervisors can lucrative booking schedules; in an industry where trends happen in a nanosecond, whereafter they are summarily critiqued, admonished, and meme’d. 

But we should make no mistake: out of all the young producers cranking away on their laptops at 3am every night, from Tbilsi to Tokyo and back, Aleksandir might in time rise above the lot of them. He might just achieve a rare and indelible status in the world of so-called underground music: that of being remembered.

Music is infinite. However, there is always a definitive choice.

-------------------------------------------

Adam Swain journeys to wherever the music takes him. From intimate club environments, art installations, and sophisticated venues, Swain's versatility is undeniable. With over 25 years’ experience in honing his craft as a DJ, his career within thin the realm of electronic music is extensive. From creating his own record labels, promotional and A&R work, he is a recognised connoisseur in this part of the world and beyond.

Throughout his musical career, Swain has come to understand the values & core beliefs that drive him as a purveyor of sound. His passion for quality allows him to create an unending tie with his audience, ensuring an illuminating ambience for any environment.

This ability to create textural, luscious atmospheres and high-energy musical excursions has seen Swain secure residencies across Queensland. His eclectic curation at Mr Percival's and W Brisbane provides an eloquent soundtrack to suit any riverside festivity. Super Whatnot bar within Brisbane city allows Swain to delve further into his vinyl collection, selecting, downtempo, hip hop, instrumental jazz-influenced beats and many more. Following late nights within the river city, he endeavours to chase the sunset, creating luminous vibes at the Burleigh Pavilion on the coast by the beach.

His prowess as a DJ is not merely contained to a nightclub dancefloor, with his craft allowing him to create entrancing settings here in Australia, and overseas. These include art exhibitions, festivals, open-air events, boat parties, island resorts, retreats and even 'The Great Wall of China'.

Swain has built this reputation as a DJ of choice, especially within his genre of expertise — the deeper shades of house music. This has led him to support some of the most prominent artists on the global circuit such as Marcus Worgull, Vincenzo, Moomin, Kevin Griffiths, Jay Shepheard, Oskar Offermann, Steffi, Jus-Ed, Claire Morgan, MCDE, HOSH, Steve Bug, Lee Burridge and more. Some key milestones include his 2014 opening slot for Dixon in Hong Kong, support slots with Delta Sounds in Croatia, and Kolour in the Park Festival presents Sven Vath in Thailand.

As Swain has grown and enhanced his style, he has come to understand what it means to be an architect of soundscapes. His expertise in creating these exclusive sonic environments merely cements DJing as his craft. This unending passion is what Swain values the most, ranking him as one of the best selectors in the industry.
