Sound the alarm! Australia’s high-powered, high energy, dub and dancehall sub bass vessel Dubmarine are preparing to release their much anticipated début album ‘Depth of Sound’.

2010 has already packed a punch with Dubmarine having just returned from a highly successful European tour taking in shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and The Czech Republic through June/July. Add to that their recent nominations for a Deadly in the Best Band of 2010 category and a Q Song award, the platform is set for their long-awaited full-feature release.

Depth Of Sound features their trademark bass-driven foundations, twin trombone blasts and thunderous synth explosions, the band rocks deep dancehall, reggae, dub, and drum and bass riddims. Lead by the vocal gymnastics of indigenous superstar and Darumbal man D-Kazman, Dubmarine have a mission; to produce the sound and fury of electronic music live, in all of its bass crunching, rhythm pounding, hip shaking fiendish glory, all played by musicians, all real.

Meticulously crafted by studio wizard Andrew Stephens, Depth Of Sound is the culmination of hard work and dedication. The album covers a vast array of genres including reggae, DnB, dubstep, hip hop, dancehall, ambient, minimal and dub, creating a rich sonic soundscape and downright dirty beats.

Released in late 2009, first single Chip was greeted with a fantastic response across the board on community and alternative stations – including most played CD on 4ZzZ in March 2010 (appearing 5 times in the top 20 most played per week), Buzz box playlist on Melbourne’s PBS radio, and reputable showings on 3RRR, FBI, Radio Adelaide and RTR Fm. Chip was also used by the Dreaming Festival in their ads on Foxtel television and by Artlink’s (Indigenous Art magazine) SBS advertising.

On the gigging front, Dubmarine have had a massive 12 months. The bass cranking subsurface adventurers navigated between prime festival appearances in 5 countries and 2 continents, including Amsterdam Roots Festival (Netherlands), Mundial Festival (Netherlands), the Colours of Ostrava (Czech Republic), Alstadtfest (Germany), and the Afro Latino Festival (Belgium), as well as Woodford Folk Festival, the Dreaming Festival, Parklife, and Island Vibe to name a few.

Of course this is just the beginning!

“…a killer drum’n’bass track that left the crowd and I wanting more!”
The Courier Mail

“This is toe-tapping funky, sexy dub at its’ finest.”
In The Mix

Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.


Cheap Fakes are a much loved six-piece live band from South East Queensland’s music scene, ready to unleash their pop infused, brass fuelled funk and ska sounds to audiences across the country. 

With two well received albums to their credit (2010’s ‘Stones & Sticks’ and 2012’s ‘Hand Me Downs’) and a resume littered with countless national supports (including The Black Seeds and Kora), as well as local billing with Cody Chesnutt, Charles Bradley, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Cheap Fakes are a force to be reckoned with. 

2015 is shaping up to be the bands biggest year yet as they prepare for the release of their third longplayer, ‘Modern Vintage’. Recorded with Grammy nominated John Merchant (Michael Jackson, Lenny Kravitz, Bee Gees and Barbara Streisand) Cheap Fakes brought the American producer out to Australia for the ‘Modern Vintage’ sessions at world class Heliport Studios. 

You can expect to find Cheap Fakes at any number of live venues as they build momentum ahead of the winter release of the new album. And with the band having already graced the stages of Valley Fiesta, Caloundra Music Festival, Big Pineapple Music Festival, Island Vibe, Golden Days and more, next summer looks like reaping a bumper crop for the dapper dressed lads who currently call Brisbane home. 

Singer, songwriter, beat maker, producer from Wellington, New Zealand, now living in Oslo...

Toured Europe with Fat Fredddy's Drop in 2007 as a backing singer. 

Attended Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle, 2005 and Red Bull Music Academy's "A Class of it's Own" (alongside Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, Steve Spacek, Om'mas Keith, The Mizell Brothers, Black Spade, Andreya Triana, Julien Dyne...) in Cologne, 2007. It was here that Theo's "Chemistry" was recorded, with Adi playing guitar on the track. 

Started out as singer and guitar player for soul/rock/blues trio Stylus77, and has been part of many other live improvisational jam bands along with performing live solo, with looping pedals, beat beat machines and effects as a one-man-band.
