Hello there,

My name is Jacky. It was March two years ago. Just like every Sunday morning I was cleaning a pub in Melbourne, Australia when I heard Wu-Tang Clan properly for the first time. It was really fucking loud, I was dusty and it screwed me loose. I became obsessed, listening to 36 Chambers, Only Built for Cuban Linx and Liquid Swords every day. I bought a MPC, started making beats and invited my mates to come work in a way none of us ever had done cos we're all fanging guitar players. We learned to sample and sequence, making it up as we went along, writing songs like we always did, but in pieces. Forever cleaning the pubs I saved enough money to fly 6 times across the Pacific to New York City to work with producer Matt Verta-Ray (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion/Dirtbombs) in his analogue studio NY HED. There we began to sew it all together and from those sessions came The Nails EP. People tell me it reminds them of the Dust Brothers production style, especially the early Beck records. I fucking love those guys, a brilliant compliment.

This is all exploration, doing whatever feel good, just pure music making. It’s sideways and it's dark and sometimes beautiful, that much I know. I wanted to show that to you. 
 

Love,
Jacky Winter

taken from Max Kohanim 'Dye Kruzin' NM005

Max Kohanim (aka. Max Kohane, Max Crumbs, Mas Kohane, Crumbs, et al) is known by many names whilst wearing various hats in and out of Melbourne's music scene - playing drums at breakneck speeds in punk/grind/metal acts Agents Of Abhorrence and Cut Sick! amongst a slew of others, as well as his piano-grind duo Pivixki with composer Anthony Pateras, not to mention spectacularly fronting grind trio Internal Rot on vocals. On his own, Max has honed an ecstatic stream of consciousness method of operating within playful sample work, giving rise to his distinctly flamboyant production tendencies on the fringes of hip hop and beat creation. 'Dye Kruzin' is perhaps more aptly titled than one might initially think - not only does it reflect the melding of his multiple realms of expertise, but it is itself a leisurely top-down rattle through a tripped out, kaleidoscopic beatstream, rolling high without a care in the fuckin world.

taken from Hyperborea 'Associations Of Time' NM006

Hyperborea is Melbourne's boundlessly erudite prog auteur James Tom. Tom is perhaps most noted recently as the figurehead and synth/keyboardist of Krakatau, whose stunning debut LP 'Water Near A Bridge' on Trouble In Mind cut deep into the (sub)consciousness of critics and fans alike with its stillness and restraint, peacefully purposeful at the heart of its dewy construction. As Hyperborea, Tom focuses more closely on synth arrangements, textures and instrument voicings as a centerpiece as opposed to the bass/drums/synth trio core of Krakatau. Following on from a short split release with Straylight on Airline Tapes, 'Associations Of Time' offers a satisfying tide of lush densities and contemplative travelogues within which time overlaps itself or indeed stops altogether, suspended in air. Care is taken in every detail and choice behind each synth tone, peripheral atmosphere and the delicately dynamic mix itself. Tones lightly bounce and intermingle with bio-elasticity at certain moments and carve out deeply meditative lines throughout others, creating a mournful, gently inward-bound trip through the verdant backwoods of a collected memory.
