"The ideas of Soulseeker EP came around after I attended a number of underground raves and doofs across Sydney and NSW. I really wanted to create something musical that takes me away to somewhere else and I wanted to detail a musical journey in an EP.

'Soulseeker' combines melodic elements with a thumping techno bass-line and drum-set, the song slowly develops over time and leaves the listener moving on a sonic journey within the soul (hence the name soul seeker).

'Mescaline' was a very unique track that I came up with after experiencing a lot of psychedelic music. I wanted to create another track on the EP that also takes you on a journey, this time with more psychedelic and Middle Eastern inspired elements. This EP is sure to slap in any underground club or event with a plethora of soundscapes and subtle elements to keep you on repeat."

“I’ve not released anything in almost 2 years as I’ve been working on my production skills. In this remix I can hear my hard work paying off. Hocus’s 'Soulseeker' was a great track to work with as it put me out of my comfort zone. I loved adding a harder edge to it. I hope you enjoy this remix and my originals to come."

Hocus - Soulseeker (Lisa May Remix)

Lisa May is from Newcastle in Australia, and is an artist known for her aggressive style of techno with heavy percussion, acid synth lines and sinister atmosphere.

Her solo track on this release called "Want You" is another fine example of her work, with explosive industrial textures and intense synth lines laced with a twisted euphoria. The call and response melodies add to the swelling tension that reaches its crescendo in the main breakdown just before the percussion comes slamming back in.

It was written for the ANNA & Wehbba competition. It was selected as one of the top 25 tracks they received and it was played on their back 2 back live stream on ANNA's Facebook page.

Lisa May - Want You (Original Mix)

Aptly named after a fish that once eaten, can engulf the consumer with horrifying psychedelic visions, 'Sarpa Salpa' is a track designed to take you on a journey into the darkness. 

I was inspired to create something deep, dark and hypnotic but I wanted to add a different touch to the style. 
I have always loved breakbeats and artists like the prodigy who fused them with dark melodies and sounds; and so I thought the marrying of these two styles was a fitting combination. 

The song is a little different to the tracks I have so far put out but in no way is it a drastic deviation from my influences as an artist. Drawing from the sounds of modern techno and classic trance, you can expect both the sounds of darkness and light from future music.

Topher Benedict - Sarpa Salpa (Original Mix)

“Cemetery” builds tension, expressed through eerie chords, dim background pads and dynamic percussion; creating, both ominosity and angst. It will lead you through a hostile space of uninviting souls and line your nerves with shade and dark ambience as it progresses into a deep, heavy drop. The dark vocal crescendo allows you to feel as if you are surrounded by the fallen; a prime example of unparalleled driving techno.

‘Illusions’ is the latest “lockdown made me do it” anthem by Daniel Tonik. Expressing his frustrations of the lockdowns in Australia; Tonik sends a cold, hard message through the medium of music. 
After months of being a prisoner at home, ‘Illusions’ sets the tone for the upcoming rave season with a dark progressive/melodic techno crossover that contains remnants of psy & acid. 
In true Daniel Tonik fashion, he aims a big “F You” to the higher powers who are caging away the ravers that want nothing more than to live their lives and dance. 
After all, everything that is happening in the world is just one big Illusion!

Nostalgic Frequencies was created with the idea of bringing the feeling from back when acid was born and introduced in the mid 80’s and 90’s in raves and warehouse parties. The song brings a percussive and strong groove inspired by the Brazilian roots of the artist spreading along the track creating an evolving and contagious dancing atmosphere.

We have a good friend of ours, Whatz, on remix duties for Beugalo. Whatz flipped Buegalo on its head utilising tribal percussion, a rolling bassline, a stomach turning stab and just a bit more cowbell to turn Beugalo into his own brand of tech house peppered with those sweet jungly sounds.

Head honcho Justin Muscat has blessed us with a gorgeous almost melancholy remix of Inner voice, creatively using the vocals to dance around his tearjerking bassline, The plucks slowly circulate the track to give it an ethereal vibe and the slow subtle use of percussion really lead this track to build into something that feels like a warm hug just as the summer is ending.

Lex Barlin - Inner Voice (Justin Muscat Remix)

For our first official release we have a time travelling masterpiece put together by none other than Sydney's finest, Lex Barlin. Strap on your space boots, its time for an adventure to the cosmos.

Lex’s “Inner Voice” is surely telling him something quite frightening as this absolute journey of a song has made it to the B side of his EP. Inner Voice really goes to show his softer side and ability to pull back and build the atmosphere that lets you get lost inside your head, filled with an ambient sound design, glitchy plucks and soaring pads. Put your headphones on and get lost.

For the title track to this beautiful EP we have “Beugalo”. Lex really flexed his late night techno guns on this one, leaving us with nothing short of a real stomper. 

Beugalo, is filled to the brim with dancing plucks, brooding dark pads, a certain twinkle that you cant quite put your finger on and a thumping bassline to keep your legs moving all night.

VØIR & Who Is Arcadia - Vague (Original Mix)

The March EP is a body of work which combines some of the darker & heavier elements of the underground techno scene throughout Australia. The tracks on the EP have been hand crafted to include elements which provide a clean, clear drive whilst also including rhythmic elements which humanise the music, and make you want to dance. 
The concept for The March EP is the constant evolution within the three tracks on the EP to build and release, resulting in a ‘March’ toward a final, powerful and defining crescendo.

The March is the single track of the EP, and is particularly important as it introduces the concept of the body of work through a throbbing, dark sub layer. The synth layers remain relatively refined until late into the tune, creating tension in the track & teasing how filthy that final drop is going to be. 

Both Find Your Place and What You Want contain layered synth elements and evolving melodic components which build and release energy throughout the track. Similar to The March, each tune comes to a point of release before building to a final moment of absolute carnage.

“In the production of the ‘Lucid EP’, I wanted to push my own boundaries as a producer and do something I’d never done before. Taking a step out of my comfort zone, I focused on creating 3 tracks that hold a deeper, darker groove but also have hints of lightness with beautiful melodies and uplifting atmosphere.”

"The track 'This' was born on a cold night under the stars at a campsite while on a surf/production trip. With big synth lines and solid percussion punching through the mix, the breakdown then strips it all back so that there is a moment to catch your breath before the final drop unloads. 

After playing a bush doof on the last night of the trip, Classica was inspired to revisit the track and give it some final touches, resulting in a heaving peak time track sure to work up a sweat on any dance-floor".

“Return is combination of all of the time spent learning during lockdowns during 2020.
