Jack Prest is an interdisciplinary artist, sound engineer and composer. With a deep technical understanding of sound and training in conceptual art, his practice focuses on experimental electronic music. For Jack that means anything from ambient spaces to hip hop to music concrète to club beats. Viewing the studio as his main instrument, pushing sonic boundaries through music production overrides a specific style or genre. 

Jack frames his sound practice within a wider interdisciplinary vision, best demonstrated by his debut work as lead artist, The Risk Of Hyperbole (commissioned by Phoenix Central Park in late 2021). His interdisciplinary work has received support from Art Gallery of NSW, Create NSW, Australia Council, Bundanon Trust, Foxy Digitalis, FBi, NTS and Dublab.

With over a decade of experience Jack’s path as an artist builds on an extensive career as a facilitator and collaborator. Performance works, for which he has composed original scores, have featured at top international arts centres including Salders Wells, Szigit Festival and Sydney Opera House. Jack is a senior engineer at Studios 301, Australia’s largest recording facility, and is a leading engineer within the Australia independent and alternative music scene. His engineering credits feature Godtet, Stones Throw, Future Classic and Sampa The Great.

Puscha is an experimental electronic artist and film composer from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. With minimalist compositional approaches employed with hyperactivity, they create hypnotic, post-ambient auditory spaces and musical impressions that eschew background and dancefloor prosaic. Taking wide influence from 20th century classical to psychedelic, deep global music to ambient techno and beyond, their music explores psychoacoustic and acousmatic modalities with the aim of provoking catharsis and deeper listening.

Multi-hyphenate Chilean/Australian Kufa emerged in the mid 2010s from the PBS106.7FM (blend corp) ecosystem into an array of roles both onstage and off, from supporting countless major electronic & hip-hop music figures, contributing to various terrestrial and online radios worldwide (incl. Dublab & NTS), to making up one-third of premiere bass touring company Twisted Touring and establishing multiple event series, notably Sleeper Cell and Haptic.

Initially rooted in footwork/juke, abstract bass and further experimental electronics, Kufa’s sound is increasingly eclectic, crate-digging into the sounds of jazz and funk alongside kickdrum-focussed dancefloor heaters and heady sampledelia, constantly focussed on curating experiences to break barriers and push culture forward.
