Massive vibe, Thanks for having me!

Julian Castles @ Electro. (Stable Music / Section 8 - 08.04.23)

This month's electro tonica run by Modulor brings us Julian Castles, a local dj, producer and cofounder of Supermercado Records. Over 10 years Julian Castles has refined his subversive approach to music. Starting off as a producer at the age of 15 experimenting with various styles of UK Bass music. He eventually found himself behind the DJ booth in 2013 when he joined the short lived but prolific "Mokumo" collective, playing and producing Acid House and Indie Dance inspired by many late nights in the Mercat basement. A decade later, his style draws on an eclectic list of influences and experiences including traveling, collecting music around the world, bush doofs, after hours clubs and playing in Punk bands. The result is a distinct and surprisingly cohesive mash-up of Electro, Breaks, Acid, Ambient, House and Prog which has left many Melbourne dance floors beaming and confused. These include Revolver Upstairs, New Guernica and Rainbow Serpent Festival.

Weaver is proud to present its very first Various Artist compilation. The Naarm (Melbourne) and Berlin-based agency has built a community of DJs, producers and performers from the Australian and European regions, and now is the time to unveil the cutting-edge sounds resonating out of the community.

Out now on Bandcamp: https://weaveragency.bandcamp.com/album/weaver-compilation-vol-1

Overflowing with 17 tracks, this release is a snapshot of the unique energy that thrives on dancefloors, where boundary-pushing sounds come to life. It’s stacked with club-ready bangers and euphoric anthems from the Weaver family and friends. Whether you’re warming up the crowd, peaking at midnight, or deep in the after-hours, there’s something here for every moment. This release isn't just a showcase of talent; it's a celebration of the collective spirit that drives underground music forward.

Expect bass-driven breaks from Ekzander, Sniper1, Monfreaq and Subsism, as well as Wretla’s euphoria-inducing garage. Pacey tech from Simrana and AWHM, with DJ Huntsman taking the hypnotic tip. BADEO, Basscamp, suki, Jeku and Anderson keep the flow grooving with their prog house and minimal percussion, while Desire, Lex, Cybernet and Azo provide the high energy peak-time delicacies.

50% of profits from the release will be split evenly between Pay The Rent (Australia) and the MA’AN Development Centre (Gaza).

One - VA (Previews)

Preorder: https://geotherapy.bandcamp.com/album/one-va

Mulubinba-turned-Naarm based label Geotherapy storms into our ears with its debut release ‘One’. A VA showcasing a variety of incredible talent across the slow, the quick, the gritty & the polish by some of Australia’s newer production talents.

‘Spherical’ is jumping, bum wiggling & spacious all at the same time. Meanjin/Brisbane’s Monikr places full focus on groove in a track easily found mid-afternoon or first thing in the morning. 


Of the full compilation, Geotherapy shared:

“This compilation showcases a collection of reflective drones, introspective tones & a healthy serving of playful rhythms that soothe and/or stimulate the mind & body - a project consisting of music for closed-eye moments, open-eyed movements, or both.. ;3”

‘One’ releases via Bandcamp as a digital only download on Friday, November 29.
