Fantastic Effects zeroes in on the percussive end of club music, with a carefully curated selection of bold and direct tracks from some of the most exciting producers from Australia and abroad.

Crazy   Legs    (an   eminent   dance   freak   by   a   different   name),    The   Ghan    (Fishing),   and   Portuguese   kuduro   pioneer    DJ N.K.    open   proceedings   with   some   peculiar   rompler   workouts   before    T.Morimoto    and    DIN    (Chunyin/Rainbow   Chan /Moon   Holiday)   deliver   two   driving   cuts   from   different   perspectives.   We   then   call   on   Body   Promise‘s  H   ED Ardennes ,   Perth/Sydney   cyberpunks    Hot   Wavs    and   Melbourne   noise   duo    WDK    to   dial   up   the   overdrive   and     flip   us all   the   digital   bird.    fake    (Cassius   Select/BV)   and   dream   collab    DJ   Plead   &   DJ   Logic    offer   two   darker   atmospheres   at kick   on   and   kick   off   tempos   respectively,   and    Andy   Garvey    makes   her   spectacular   debut   with   a   floor-filler   only   a seasoned   DJ   could   create.    Poison    appear   courtesy   of   Melbourne   label   Sumac   for   a   small   taste   of   the   MIDI   east,   and to   cap   it   off   multidisciplinary   artist    Makeda    backs   up   the   ferocity   of    friendships    with   a   delicate   and   sublime cadence.

Number #109 coming from someone very special, someone who has done so much for the local scene and someone I can safely say has remained a big inspiration to me since my late teenage years. Harold ! @djharoldd

Harold is known locally and abroad for his incredible array of outputs. From DJ'ing (and being widely recognised in Melbourne as being one of the best). to running the ever incredible @steeplejackrec, and running some of the most iconic local events (Pleasure Planet...!). 

I have a very distinct memory of feeling truely inspired & deciding to move to Melbourne whilst dancing to Harrison's closing set at the first party I ever went to in Melbourne back in 2014 - Pleasure Planet's third birthday at Lounge. Harrison is a guiding force in the scene and is incredibly supportive of those around him.. but most of all.. he's a mastermind Dj. Enjoy this wild mix in Harrison's signature style <3 Glitchy.. deep IDM outer-worldly heaven. 

Thank you again for the mix Harrison!

Welcome https://soundcloud.com/loiflan to the BSRMIX!

Dominating the Oz scene with his abstract spin on techno and its offshoots, LOIF is definitely one of the heads to keep an eye out for. With releases on Ute, Aminote Editions, Pure Space, Companion and many more, he’s already carved out a distinct sound of his own that’s penetrating ears around the globe. Be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming Animalia release and any live/dj sets you can catch…he’s headed to the euro zone this year too. Enjoy this one and half hour genreless session for a snapshot of LOIF’s twisted mind.

“GUT ROT was made with the intention of disruption. The indulgent & atmospheric middle break was written to confuse and disassociate dance floors with pretty piano fluff. Then with almost no lead, it returns to the chaotic beat thing. It’s mostly self indulgent and reflective of me as a person lol.”

T. Morimoto - Take A Walk

Taken from Fantastic Effects.

‘Open Book’ is a puddle. Stormwater. Runoff from the torrential babble of clubbers in clubs, talking over the music. Mouths held unnaturally wide open, gushing verbal porridge, desperate to accept and to be accepted by others. This doof dialect is always forming new idioms which will ultimately merge into a universal speech, yelled over a 909 kick by all humanity.
