swisherman brings a considered approach when choosing the music, with over a decade of experience in soundtracking warehouse parties, abandoned spaces, dusty dancefloors & the occasional legitimate venue in & around Eora/Sydney in Australia, as well as recent gigs in Japan & New Zealand. No stranger to outdoor festivals, swisherman has also brought his unique blend of deep, minimal & meditative dance music to gatherings across Australia and NZ, including Twisted Frequency (NZ), Dragon Dreaming, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Earth Frequency, Subsonic, Psyfari, Armada, Art Valley, Zenith Gathering, Origins Of Entropy, & many more.

He has played support slots for international heavyweights including Halogenix, Loefah, Hodge, Goth Trad, Mystic State, Deepbass, Zed Bias, Shackleton, De:Tu, Versa, Azu Tiwaline, Sub Basics, Piezo, Ebb, Truth and many more.

swisherman is a core member of DUNJ, a crew who throw parties all over the city, from abandoned and unused spaces all the way to iconic venues like the Opera House. 

swisherman also works full time as a post production audio engineer, so he knows a thing or two about making audio with impact.

swisherman is inspired by misty mornings, home built sound systems and plants that grow in the gutter.

As a musician, DJ and multi-disciplinary experimentalist, MAKEDA’s work sketches a svelte aural palette. Recurring through each project, Makeda pairs left-field electronic with meditations on love, life and socio-political criticism.

ALL DAY BREAKFAST ENTERPRISES is a (now defunct) label and project centered around music experimentation, and has traded in indecision since late 2011.
