Next up in the Diffraction Mix Series we have FNQ producer and selecta, FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT. Alfred is a massive supporter and mainstay of the Far North Queensland festival community. FLOW-TEK is an integral player both on the decks and on the dancefloor. He creates a mood and space reflecting the quintessential FNQ character… Progressive and reflective of his natural surroundings, with a huge low end to keep you moving!

FLOW-TEK / DRIPCRAFT is the progressive trance/d’n’b/psy project from producer Alfred Stewart. Hailing from the lush tropics of far North Queensland his signature sound is an earthy melodic pulse... with a touch of redneck and a swallow of moonshine comes a whopping bassline with a crisp and well-structured finish.

Alfred presents with the stage presence of a well-seasoned punter, his sets guiding you through a subconscious safari, while diving into the thought process and brainwaves of himself, leaving nothing behind except pure intent and good memories.

FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT frequents the stages throughout Queensland, and Australia with his focus on expanding into the global circuit.

Big ups and massive thanks for your time and energy on this one brother!

Rizon Live | Quetek
DJ | Producer | Live Performer
Doubsquare Records (UK) | Locally Hosted (AUS) | Speakeasy Electro Swing (AUS Promoter)

From the heart of Far North Queensland’s underground music scene, Rizon Live (aka Quetek) has spent over 20 years shaping soundscapes and igniting dancefloors with his high-energy, genre-bending performances. A true sonic craftsman, he seamlessly blends Psytrance, Drum & Bass, Garage, Electro Swing, and Jungle, creating immersive experiences that take audiences on a journey through sound.

Two Worlds, One Vision:
🔹 Psytrance | Doubsquare Records (UK)
As a Doubsquare Records DJ and live act, Rizon represents the label’s deep, hypnotic, and psychedelic sound, delivering driving basslines, ethereal textures, and explosive drops. His sets are a fusion of precision production and raw energy, making him a key figure in bringing Doubsquare’s global Psytrance movement to Australian dancefloors.

🔹 Multi-Genre Fusion | Locally Hosted & Speakeasy Electro Swing
Beyond Psytrance, he is a master of musical fusion, weaving Drum & Bass, Electro Swing, Garage, and Jungle into a high-energy blend of underground sounds. With a deep respect for both modern bass culture and vintage-inspired music, he bridges eras and styles in ways few can. Whether it’s a soulful Speakeasy set or a hard-hitting festival showcase, Rizon delivers an experience that’s both unique and unforgettable.

Irise – The Psytrance Live Experience
As a core part of Doubsquare Records, Rizon co-founded Irise, a live Psytrance act with multi-instrumentalist Izak Scott. More than just DJing, Irise brings Psytrance to life, incorporating live guitar, percussion, saxophone, vocals, and FX into its performances.

With Izak’s fluid, improvisational harmonics and Rizon’s deep electronic mastery, Irise has become a defining feature of Doubsquare’s label showcases in Australia. Alongside fellow Doubsquare artists Miss Jade (Victoria) and Sharkra (New Zealand), the team is setting a new standard for hybrid Psytrance performances and showcase sets at festivals and club nights alike. Artists will be on tour in Australia and New Zealand this year—stay tuned!

Collaborators & Projects
Rizon is deeply connected to the underground music movement, working alongside some of the most innovative artists in the scene:

🎸 Izak Scott

🎤 Soundbugz – A collaborative project founded by Dwayne Banham (Player One) with Wittika Net, evolving from Hip Hop to Glitch Hop and experimental beats, featuring Emcee Celestial Serpent and Systematical (aka Mr. P).

Beyond the Decks: A Force in the Scene
Rizon is more than just a DJ—he’s an architect of the underground, actively involved in event production, artist mentorship, and festival support through Locally Hosted Australia. Working alongside local promoters, festival crews, and community groups, he plays a major role in strengthening Australia’s independent music scene.

He has performed and worked behind the scenes at some of the region’s most notable festivals and events, including:

🎪 Shine On Gimuy Festival, Kuranda Roots Festival, Orin Aya, NYX Festival, Roots Fest, Berlin Calling, Grass Is Greener, Festival Cairns, and Port Douglas Carnivale.

After a 10-year network and development era in Victoria, Rizon returned to Cairns to perform at the 2012 Solar Eclipse Festival, marking a defining moment in his career. 
Since then, he has been a driving force in the revival and evolution of the Far North Queensland underground scene, supporting the next generation of artists and promoters while pushing boundaries as a performer and independent event curator.

Every Set, A New Experience

A Comment on Supporting Independent Music

"Mainstream streaming platforms don’t fairly compensate artists, which is why I choose to support independent music. As a freelance artist, I don’t rely on major streaming services— instead, you can find my music on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. I also support independent artists and labels by purchasing music through Beatport or directly from their websites or in person.

The industry is evolving, and I believe in a future where artists and producers are paid sustainably for their work. There are many networks and avenues out there—each to their own—but for me, it's about keeping the music and the artists at the heart of it all."

I've just started my exploration into EDM in 2022. I've found my genre that vibes with me so far is psy trance. I am open to the venture of seeking out and finding new electronic vibes. I'm sure I'm only scraping the top surface of a deep well of incredible energy!
