Boydex & JnrBoom step on the groove from the start with this remix of Fun Guy and keep it up and at ‘em with some staunch beats that don’t slack off until they decide to give you a soft wobble on the breakdown.

It slides around and gives nods to their roots and spits you out the other side. Tough and full of swagger, but still mushy and warm, this duo brings a big break feel to the track.

Diffraction Collective is proud to present the latest drop from the dark overlord of techno, Gamut. 

‘Superimposed’ is like a soundtrack to a gothic fever-dream, scratching and clawing at your soul, wailing and moaning in your ears. 

Crisp, solid, phat and trippy, this tight production absolutely sizzles. 

Fresh from a recent performance at Mushroom Valley, where he blew minds with his unsettling appearance, sick selections and masterful mixing, this track is sure to satiate Gamut’s legions of devotees until he next rises from his crypt. 

Citing the Berlin underground techno scene as a major influence, Gamut creates exquisite sonic-scapes that incorporate a swag of sounds and techniques he has gathered on his ancient journey. 

‘Superimposed’ continues in this tradition and will no doubt be on high rotation over the summer.

Transmuting dark sound into dancefloor hypnotherapy Arna creates deep harmonic soundscapes with intention of seeing as clearly in the black as in the bright. With a pulse based at 140, he conveys modern dubstep and bass music contrasting beautiful and vile vibrations. 

Stalking the ears of the Adelaide bass scene for the past 2 years Arna has left clubs and festivals ringing with haunted emotions. Utilising dancefloors as a medium for integrating the shadow aspects of the soul. This blackened sound sooths and calms, although at times is chaotic, embracing the contrast of life.

"There is magic in music, a medium for sharing intention that directly affects the mind when we are immersed."
