Duos @ Esoteric 2024 (Snakepit)

Cosmatik's musical journey has been underpinned by the continued appreciation for and the love of music across various styles.

The project emerged from a desire to express this adoration and to culminate the consortium of styles that have influenced and driven it since inception.

Guided less by genre than by an elementary underpinning, Cosmatik can be seen playing across a multitude of styles, ever attentive to maintain a careful curation of the experience at hand. From hip-hop and soulful inspired, to dance-floor driving DnB, left-of-field bass music and flowy ethereal global bass music.

Cosmatik's genre-defying, chameleon like style leaves no stone unturned and is as adaptive as it is diverse. A journey of genres, artfully woven together to create a unique experience that's sure to inject energy into any dance-floor.

~ Cosmatic (noun): The term relating to incomprehensible occurrences in the known universe. Fusing the concepts of “magic” and “cosmic”, it acts as an all encompassing replacement for any phenomenon that the human mind currently cannot explicitly describe, or explain.  ~

Mr Foxton landed with an unforgettable debut set, stepping into the scene with a fresh energy and a deep love for sound that cuts across genres. A lifelong music aficionado and dedicated gig rat, he brings a real, lived-in love for sound in his sets, moving fluidly through rhythm, bass, and brass, blurring lines and bringing groove and soul to the dancefloor.

Years of crate-digging and deep listening have shaped his sound - drawing from the raw edge of drum and bass, the groove of funk, the punch of breaks, and the weight of Denver bass music. Horn sections are a recurring thread - whether it's funk-laced rollers or jazz-leaning beats, his sets hit with depth and personality. With a genuine love for the craft, an ear for the unexpected and a desire to share music that speaks.

Smooth and seamless mixing, bangin sinister dnb, booty rumbling bass, purée’d 140’s, heated halftime and a sleek manipulation of controlled dancefloor havoc – Bellingen boy Lucious is a 15 year scene vet selecta that makes and breaks any styled format. Curator of YesPleez! and 2 seperate bass scenes, 4 appearances at Splendour, a stalwart of the east coast underground ecosystem and a regular main stage head among the Australian and Nz festival circuit. With swift and borderline cheeky multi layered mixes and stonkin double drops in tow, we ain’t singing, we bringing drama.
