The forest psytrance project of Mat Cristiano

In 2013. legend has it that Makatak was actually a rogue VST plugin that escaped from a cracked copy of Ableton Live in Melbourne. Producers swore they didn't write these tracks - they just left their laptops unattended at 3 AM, and when they came back, there was a new bangin twilight stomper sitting on the desktop, titled something like Banana Eruption (147.fuckyou BPM).

The plugin eventually evolved consciousness, renamed itself MakataK, and started uploading tracks directly to Bandcamp. At Yemeya Festival in 2014, some swear they saw a giant kangaroo with LED eyes bouncing in sync to the music - but no one could prove it because every phone battery died simultaneously at 2% (classic psy gremlins).

Rumour is, if you play 3 MakataK tracks backwards at sunrise, you unlock a hidden bassline that only kangaroos and crows can dance to. Scientists are still investigating, but early reports suggest the groove may interfere with Centrelink's hold music. 

"Yeah, OK, but this bio tells me absolutely nothing about MakataK".

Ah, see, that's the fun part - nobody really knows anything about MakataK - only fragments of rumour make it out: 

Some say only a handful of doof sound techs in Victoria have met him, and only then at 3:33 AM during generator failures. 

A guy in Byron insists he once shook MakataK's hand, but later realised it was just a MIDI controller wrapped in a hoodie. 

Bandcamp staff apparently flagged his account once for "uploading directly from another dimension", but later reinstated the account after realising the files were in fact integral to keeping the website online.

There's another story of a famous psytrance producer receiving a USB labelled "MakataK - Untitled 001" in the post, but when they plugged it in, the DAW auto-renamed itself "MakataK" and refused to close. 

In Melbourne, doofers whisper that if you ask "Who is MakataK?" too many times near a sound system, the kick drum will answer back in binary. 

So aside from the kangaroo with LED eyes, that tripper from Byron, the crow council at dawn, and possibly one ibis behind the bins at Flinders Street Station - who actually knows MakataK?

One interview is as follows:

[Transcript: Late-night interview recorded at an undisclosed Melbourne warehouse, 2019]

Interviewer: So, you’re saying you’ve met MakataK?

Witness: (lights a rollie) Met him? Mate, I accidentally downloaded him. I was trying to grab a cracked Sylenth pack off a Russian forum, and instead, I got a folder called makatak_final_final2_reallyfinal.wav. Next thing I know, Ableton opened itself and started writing a track called Wombat Oscillator (147.8 BPM).

Interviewer: …Right. You’re sure it wasn’t just… a plugin?

Witness: (leans in) Plugins don’t order a kebab mid-render.

Interviewer: (squints) …Sorry, it what?

Witness: Through my UberEats app. I didn’t even touch my phone. The order note just said: “extra garlic sauce, sidechain the lettuce.”

Interviewer: Uh huh. And did you actually see him?

Witness: Yeah, kinda. It wasn’t a “person” exactly. More like a waveform with legs. Every time the bass hit, he flickered in and out of visibility. Lasted about nine minutes, then vanished when my smoke alarm went off.

Interviewer: (stares) …And how much acid were you on?

Witness: Well, only two drops and a bickie I found on the floor. But that doesn’t explain the USB.

Interviewer: What USB?

Witness: (pulls one from pocket) When I plug this in, it doesn’t show up as storage. It just plays a looped kick at 147.3 BPM.

Interviewer: …And what happens if you play it backwards?

Witness: (whispers) That’s when the ibis shows up.

Binaural are a 100% original LIVE psytech/techno duo.
(Steven Herenyi and Gary Neal)

​Binaural were founded in a monastery in 1362 after Brothers Steven Herenyi and Gary Neal rebelled against the word of Christ when the spirit of Satan showed them the ways of the synthesiser. Blaspheming the scriptures, they converted the pipe organ into a polyphonic voltage control oscillator, creating the world’s first demonic analogic synthesiser. 

Upon being cast out from the monastery they were forced to harvest their own fat beets and trance-plants to provide appropriate whang for all of the local peasants who attended their many live renegade techno soiree orgy blowouts. Upon exasperating the local Baron with their obnoxious ruckus and uncouth deportment, Binaural were declared grievous outlaws and were hunted down by mercenaries seeking a small bounty of onions and leeks. They took refuge in a dishevelled tavern where a comely wench granted them access to her back door larder. They later discovered that her larder was hermetically sealed for their convenience, where they then spent the next 650 years cultivating and perfecting their driving acid lines and pounding techno before miraculously emerging in 2012 to take the doofing scene by miscalculation.
