Here is the recording of Time To Track on Bondi Beach Radio from August 24th, 2014! We did have special guest Robbie Lowe come along and lay down a great guest mix, but he preferred not to have his part of the show recorded, so the archive for this week is just the first half of the show where I play some new music from the likes of Bok Bok & Tom Trago, Heart Drive and XDB.

Time To Track On Bondi Beach Radio (August 24th 2014)

Andrew Wowk is a DJ, producer, radio host, promoter, and writer who has been active in the Eora (Sydney) electronic music scene for over 20 years. First introduced to dance music culture through work experience at community radio station Rhythm FM at age 16, Andrew exudes a passion for and knowledge of music that is the result of years of experience.

As a DJ, Andrew has earned a reputation for refined technical skills and eclectic track selection. His tastes run the gamut of techno, house, breakbeat, drum & bass and jungle, electro, and leftfield electronica, demonstrating a deep respect for the history of dance music, a love for its present, and excitement about its future. But even with such a wide range of music at his disposal, he finds ways to combine these numerous sounds into a cohesive whole. Often focused more on telling a story or creating a particular feeling with his sets, he regularly moves fluidly across stylistic boundaries, preferring to find other similarities between tracks than just their genre.

His intelligent approach to DJing has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists. He has also received international recognition, being invited to play guest sets at Circus Osaka in Japan, DEPTH and Train Car House Party in Seattle, as well as perform on 313.FM in Detroit, WNYU in New York, and provide mixes for Animal Instinct in Berlin, Fnoob Radio, and Error Sessions in the UK.

Outside of club DJing, Andrew also produces music under the alias End User License Agreement, which has been released on labels such as Biotech Recordings, Baroque Recordings, Extra Spicy, Communication Records, Monarch Recordings, and Late Night Music. His remix of Floor Twenty’s “Say My Name” and his original track “Chonk” were both featured in Beatport’s and Juno's best bass music releases from 2021. He also hosts a weekly radio show "Time To Track" on 2SER, regularly writes for both print and online media, and runs events covering the spectrum of underground dance music, featuring previous headliners such as Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Marcus Intalex, Regis, Hodge, Adriana Lopez, Djinn, SNTS, and Nastia Reigel. 

Andrew is passionate about social and political issues and strongly believes in using music as a medium for addressing these issues. Much of the music he loves was originally created in tandem with social, cultural, and political movements, and he believes that contemporary music should also carry a message. To put this into practice, he launched Music For Change, a label which donates 100% of profits from all releases to various charities, alongside Jessica Tassone in 2021. Releases on the label have been supported by international artists such as Dave Clarke, Ani Klang, and Alchemist/Amy Kisnorbo, played on BBC Radio 1, and added to the rotation on local radio stations FBI Radio and 2SER.

WE ARE ELECTRIC – CELEBRATE ELECTRONIC MUSIC AND GAY CLUBBING AROUND THE WORLD!

Gary Numan once asked, "Are friends electric?“ We have been fascinated by his electronic music and that of other artists like Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Giorgio Moroder together with our eternal Disco-Queen Donna Summer. Later Frankie Knuckles brought house music into gay clubs - places where avant-garde has always had its home. 

Electronic music has never been as diverse as it is today. But we are tired of commercial gay parties and boring electronic music for the masses or always the same top 40 remixes again and again. We like it deep, underground and a little funky.

GAYLECTRO is part of a movement to return gay clubbing back to its roots. We believe in the principle of diversity and the influence of different cultures into music - for instance electronic music in Asia has influences other than that of South America or Africa. There are so many different, talented artists in the world. We want to discover them and their diversity.

That´s why we only promote DJs, tracks, events and clubs that have electronic music we truly stand behind. We collaborate with DJs, promoters and anyone who is LGTBIQ-friendly, open-minded, and just as passionate about electronic music as we are. GAYLECTRO is our attempt to encourage people to try something new and to turn gay clubs and events into avant-garde places again.

Join us to keep up to date and jam to the coolest beats. It’s all about our community and supporting friends who share the same love for good electronic music.

With Gary Numan in our minds, there’s only one question that remains:

ARE YOU ELECTRIC ENOUGH?
