Funky Beats Bands and Soundsystems

Aïda, jeune femme malienne amoureuse de danse contemporaine se retrouve embarquée dans une course effrénée dans les rues de Bamako.Perdue et paniquée, emportée par une folle énergie et attirée par un songe, elle cours des heures sans savoir où allé.A bout de souffle et au bout du périple, elle tombe sur des musiciens jouant une musique qui l'entraîne dans un solo de danse improvisée.La réalité se mêle au songe et Aïda se sent libérée.

Ayapana & Tó Anjo live at O.Z.O.R.A Festival 2025, Ambyss Stage

10 - Ayapana & Tó Anjo @ Ozora 2025 | Ambyss – BIOFLUX

Lula Mirage-Electric lover [MUTANT REBELS]

Possibly the first ever band to promote the joys of gardening, food and sustainability through dance music, West Australian ‘ecological edutainers’, Formidable Vegetable Sound System bring you their latest single, ‘You Are What You Eat’- an infectiously bouncy electroswing track all about... Dirt!

Featuring Michael Barker (ex John Butler Trio/Black Sorrows) on drums, Mal Webb on horns, Kylie Morrigan on strings, Charlie Mgee on ukulele & vocals and produced by award-winning Melbourne electronic producer, Spoonbill, 'You Are What You Eat' explores the never-ending connectedness of the food-chain in the band's unique style of 'biodynamic-organic ukulele-electroswing'.

Soon after the track was released, it was picked up and shared by none other than the UN, who used it to celebrate the closing of the 2015 International Year of Soils - the kind of thing that could only happen to this one-of-a-kind band that have toured the world for three years performing brass-soaked ukulele electroswing songs about plants, peak-oil and permaculture.

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 
– Guitarist, saxophonist, percussionist & live performance partner in 
Irise and Jungle Bruthas 

🎷 Eliazar & Don Mescal – Founders of the Speakeasy Electro Swing movement, blending jazz-era sounds with modern bass music

🔊 Doubkore (Doubsquare Records) – Label collaborator and Psytrance force, pushing underground sounds globally

🎛️ Flowtek | Quetek (Locally Hosted Project) – A hybrid project fusing world beats, experimental electronic, and instrumental collaborations

🎤 Jesse Radja & DJ Martian – Co-creators of Xion Project, a live psy-music act integrating futuristic dj sets, with live instrumentation, Scratch DJ mastery, electric guitar and Vox.
🎙️ Wikermen (w/ DJ Martian) – A live vocal & DJ duo, crafting raw, high-energy performances
🎤 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
Whether delivering Psytrance label showcases, genre-bending festival sets, or live instrumental performances, Rizon continues to push the boundaries of underground music, keeping raw energy, deep musicality, and high-impact storytelling at the core of every show.

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."
