NUISANCE!

Take Flight is the first single from a forthcoming psychedelic inspired extended play from Diger Rokwell. The single explodes with home recorded fuzz guitar, crunchy bass, ascending slides and reverb drenched leads, all then blended with hip hop minded electronic wizardry and atmospheric textures.

Forthcoming for Diger's upcoming EP 'Seeds' via The Community Records on vinyl and digitally.

From his early days, Diger has set his sights on making music that reflects different genres and styles, this is the continuation of his journey.

Take Flight is available for purchase via digerrokwell6000.bandcamp.com and is launching at The Bird on the 18th of December with support from Flower Drums, The Boost Hero Man and Super J.

My Heart feat. Ash Hosken is forthcoming on Diger Rokwell's new psych hop inspired EP 'Seeds' via The Community Records on vinyl and digital release soon.

Keep your ears peeled.

'Travel To The Outer Reaches' is a psych tinged soundtrack piece inspired by the sounds of David Axelrod and Pink Floyd. All instruments were played by Diger Rokwell (except the drums) Originally made for the upcoming 'Seeds' extend play, but it got lost in deep space and didn't make the cut. 

'Travel To The Outer Reaches' is to celebrate the 'not long to go' stage of new born life approaching, my mother's 70th birthday on Friday, and release information for my upcoming extended play 'Seeds'. I am definitely traveling to the outer reaches into a new world of discovery. Enjoy!

Mixed by YLEM & Diger Rokwell, master by Dave Cooley.

‘Seeds' is a psychedelic 4 track extended play from 3 times WAM award
winning producer and Perth creative, Ash Hosken aka Diger Rokwell‘ Seeds’
reflects his continued experimentation into multi- instrumentalism. It is one in
a series of extended plays, a sequel to his House music interpretation:
Innersense, focusing on one ‘musical influence’ per release. The series will
culminate in a full album of choice cuts in 2016. ‘Seeds' is a journey: tinged
with hip-hop drums, crunchy percussion, ethereal drone, psych leads and
soaring Sonic’s. Home recorded and mixed with his best-mate Ryan Burge
aka YLEM, mastered by Dave Cooley of Stones Throw fame, ‘Seeds’ reviles
in the crunch of pedals, drenched reverb, and the art of releasing independent
music.

Israel’s hottest export follow up excellent EPs on Hivern and I’m A Cliché with a 3-tracker for the global psychedelic cult of Multi Culti.

Tel Aviv’s Red Axes are one of the most exciting new acts in dance music, with rich sound that is musical, deep, trippy and organic, while remaining precise and lethally effective in the club. The range in their sound is impressive, their talent unmistakeable. They are one of our favourite artists of the year, and this latest record is one of their best yet.

Lead track 'Waiting for a Surprise’ builds around a mid-tempo disco bassline, with tough percussion, and rugged synth stabs, but it’s the eerie and unique sounding vocals of Brazilian collaborator Abrao that bring everything together. This one is a guaranteed bomb for building up, tearing down, peak time or chilling out… an outstanding track in every sense, the kind that force trainspotters to the DJ booth to discover what’s playing. Next up, ‘Hope’ kicks off with resonant, delayed toms, adding a haunting howl and synths before dropping into a wild, clanging, carnivalesque frenzy. It’s understated, but advanced, with an interesting arrangement that really opens up in the second half. Finally, 'The Metal Bender’ slows the tempo but ups the vibe into an elated, slow-burning space-disco anthem. Fantastic stuff!

Melbourne’s Kris Baha, fresh from launching his Power Station imprint, offers a stripped down remix of ‘Waiting for a Surprise,’ with a heavy, industrial-influenced groove that wanders into the deep, dark end of party strasse.
