Back in March, I played at my first outdoor bush doof party. These parties usually feature a lot of Psy-Trance music, this one was all about Techno! Trench goes DooF w/ Nihad Tule (Sloboda/Sweden)

What's doof?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doof

This party was held on a private property, in remote country Southern Highlands NSW, over 3 days, 2 nights, deep in the Australian bush, about 2+1/2 hours drive from Sydney. The performer lineup included a whole heap of Sydney's Techno talents.

As I like to do, I played a range of Techno sounds: big, bass heavy, broken beats, percussive, harder intensity, deep, dark, sinister atmospheres, going on a journey, into some deeper hypnotic territory, a little acid, with some melodic moments too, before climaxing at the end. I also included some tracks with creepy, sci-fi, alien encounter/abduction, and creatures of the darkness vibes, to suit the location.

This 1 hour show/mix features many of the same tracks I played at the party, during my 2 hour set at 3am, inspired by the location and experience. It was a lot of fun playing Techno music at high volume, with loads of bass, through a fantastic sound system, out into the Australian bush. 

Many thanks to those who were jumping around to my music selections, in the cold, dark, and misty damp. Many thanks to @gabrielbr Gabe Fernandes / Trench @trench-techno for putting this on, and having me play.

Black+Light show 005 was broadcast Wednesday 22nd March 2017 at 10am London | 11am Berlin | 9pm Sydney **

** However, this is a different/better version than what was broadcast, with mostly all the same tracks, some additions and omissions. I had been holding back uploading this show/mix until I had a perfected, re-recorded version I was totally happy with, here it is.

I hope you enjoy this trip into the deep, dark Australian bush with me...

Andrew Wowk is a DJ, producer, radio host, promoter, and writer who has been active in the Eora (Sydney) electronic music scene for over 20 years. First introduced to dance music culture through work experience at community radio station Rhythm FM at age 16, Andrew exudes a passion for and knowledge of music that is the result of years of experience.

As a DJ, Andrew has earned a reputation for refined technical skills and eclectic track selection. His tastes run the gamut of techno, house, breakbeat, drum & bass and jungle, electro, and leftfield electronica, demonstrating a deep respect for the history of dance music, a love for its present, and excitement about its future. But even with such a wide range of music at his disposal, he finds ways to combine various sounds into a cohesive whole. Often focused more on telling a story or creating a particular feeling with his sets, he regularly moves fluidly across stylistic boundaries, preferring to find other similarities between tracks than just their genre.

His intelligent approach to DJing has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists. He has also received international recognition, being invited to play guest sets at Circus Osaka in Japan, DEPTH and Train Car House Party in Seattle, as well as perform on 313.FM in Detroit, WNYU in New York, and provide mixes for Animal Instinct in Berlin, Fnoob Radio, and Error Sessions in the UK.

Outside of club DJing, Andrew also produces music under the alias End User License Agreement, which has been released on labels such as Biotech Recordings, Baroque Recordings, Extra Spicy, Communication Records, Monarch Recordings, and Late Night Music. His remix of Floor Twenty’s “Say My Name” and his original track “Chonk” were both featured in Beatport’s and Juno's best bass music releases from 2021. He also hosts a weekly radio show "Time To Track" on 2SER, regularly writes for both print and online media, and runs events covering the spectrum of underground dance music, featuring previous headliners such as Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, Marcus Intalex, Regis, Hodge, Adriana Lopez, Djinn, SNTS, and Nastia Reigel. 

Andrew is passionate about social and political issues and strongly believes in using music as a medium for addressing these issues. Much of the music he loves was originally created in tandem with social, cultural, and political movements, and he believes that contemporary music should also carry a message. To put this into practice, he launched Music For Change, a label which donates 100% of profits from all releases to various charities, alongside Jessica Tassone in 2021. Releases on the label have been supported by international artists such as Dave Clarke, Ani Klang, and Alchemist/Amy Kisnorbo, played on BBC Radio 1, and added to the rotation on local radio stations FBI Radio and 2SER.

Passionate about a variety of underground techno music sounds: Deep, dark, atmospheric, brutal, heavy, twisted, minimal, broken, hard, light, beautiful, melodic, hypnotic - all depending on mood.

Loving the industrial, EBM, broken beats, heavy and dark atmospheres in modern techno music right now, still a fan of the rave. Not a fan of the new "hard techno" fast techno, tik-tok techno fad.
