Hedchef - Guestmix for Aura T-09 on Dublab Radio 11/3/21

For the 14th edition of the Hedchef show on Threads Radio, we're joined by reawakened computer system MAC Address, which crashed on one of Saturn's moons almost three decades ago and is currently conducting lunar research and searching for resources to continue its mission. MAC Address began transmitting to earth sometime last year, and we have been picking up its alien electro frequencies since then. MAC Address's transmission this month is a little softer and more considered than usual - Hedchef warms things up for this enigmatic and compelling computer system by going "extra hard" to rebalance the scales.

"For this edition of Disco Brut, Hedchef presents his first ever entirely live set, forsaking the dancefloor format for a more experimental exploration that shifts across tempos and includes elements of noise, dancehall, breakcore and trance."

K-65 with Hedchef - 05 December 2024

UK-born, Melbourne-based Hedchef creates the kind of sharp, off-kilter club constructions that disorientate and delight the dancefloor in equal measure. Showing discipline to a militant ethos of pushing the envelope, futurism and point-blank rejection of nostalgia, irony and pastiche, Hedchef’s groove-based, breakdown-light arrangements align closer to classic techno and electro than dubstep or garage, whilst his razor-sharp sound design draws from influences closer to drum ‘n’ bass and the UK bass-driven music spectrum to add imaginative, gritty edges to the rolling flow.

It’s this intricate musicianship which has seen Hedchef release on acclaimed labels including Scuffed Recordings in London, New York-based Worst Behaviour and Berlin’s International Chrome, with a stacked schedule of releases coming out in 2025 that continue the mission of expanding the boundaries of functional club tools. These tracks can be heard in the sets of some of the world’s most venerated DJs and tastemakers, from Dave Clarke and Anastasia Kristensen to Detroit In Effect, Jensen Interceptor and Solid Blake. Most recently, his collaborations with cross-genre wizard Doctor Jeep have been a staple in the international club circuit.

NVST - Pages With Flames (Anyways Edition) [forthcoming Maloca]

Which artists has influenced you the most? 
- I often get the most inspiration from non-musical sounds I just happen to come across, and particularly ones that are non-organic - industrial fans, unusual feedback, an oddly creaky door - but artist-wise I'd go with Drexciya, Burial and Sunn O))).

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? 
- Lots of stuff to come this year - the most imminent is an EP on Prague-based imprint YUKU which I'm very happy with, and a longer collection of tracks on a Dutch label to be announced soon. I'm also playing with visual ideas for launching my own label, so it's probably a long way off but keep your eyes out for that.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? 
- The aforementioned YUKU, Typeless, Scuffed, Pinkman, Amniote Editions, Nerve Collect.

What inspires you now to create music? 
- Working with other musicians in my capacity as a tutor and engineer - learning is always a two-way process and I'm often unbelievably inspired to write some of my own material after a good session working on someone else's.

What set-up do you use when creating music?
- 100% software - I have used and owned various pieces of hardware in the past but I just adore the level of flexibility you have to iterate, automate and revisit ideas whilst working in the box. In the studio I primarily use Ableton, Vital, Reason Rack, VCV Rack, the Fabfilter suite and a few other plug-ins.

Strange But Dance Music #198: Hedchef

"Claustrophobic, disorienting, uncomfortable - ‘Only Time Will Tell’ consists of 3 of my latest attempts to push functional club tools as far into the realms of dissonance and abstraction as possible whilst retaining their inherent purpose as body-moving dancefloor tracks.

I’m drawn to sounds that are insistent, deliberate, futuristic and unorthodox. YUKU have always shared a similar vision, so it was little surprise when the label picked the very first 3 tracks I sent over in a large vault of demos - the exact 3 that I quietly hoped that they would take, in the exact order I felt would be most effective.

‘Inertia Of The Real’ has been the closing track for many of my sets over the past few months - unhinged electrical zaps appear out of nowhere and rain down over a sparse grime rhythm to catch the crowd off-guard and cause as much chaos as possible.

‘Plated Brass Recursion Mechanism’ continues the theme of frantic digital laser assault, but this time with a locked breakbeat groove and unyielding low-end snarl - more conventional beat patterns for electro and techno lovers, but weird and unpredcitable nonetheless.

Lastly, ‘Fool’s Errand’ dials back the intensity just a touch, with eerie pads and disembodied vocal chops cutting through machine-gun hihats and start-stop call and response in the low end.

My attitude to production has always been a rejection of the nostalgic rehashing of sounds from the 90s and 00s that has come to dominate the dance music landscape in the current decade. If there isn’t at least one sound in a track that’s surprising or new to my ears, I’m not interested. As a statement of intent, I hope that ‘Only Time Will Tell’ will bring something exciting to the listener in that respect. Endless love to YUKU and everyone who gives the release a spin - getting the chance to share my music on such a perfect label is really such an honour."

Hedchef - Fool's Errand [YUKU]

Doctor Jeep B2B Hedchef 06 August 2025

UK-born, Melbourne-based Hedchef creates the kind of sharp, off-kilter club constructions that disorientate and delight the dancefloor in equal measure.

Showing discipline to a militant ethos of pushing the envelope, futurism and point-blank rejection of nostalgia, irony and pastiche, Hedchef’s groove-based, breakdown-light arrangements align closer to classic techno and electro than dubstep or garage, whilst his razor-sharp sound design draws from influences closer to drum ‘n’ bass and the UK bass-driven music spectrum to add imaginative, gritty edges to the rolling flow.

Hedchef’s prolific back catalogue and wide-ranging DJ sets certainly tend to feature dark, heavy and abrasive sounds - but his approach to writing grooves, similarly to if they were guitar riffs or brass sections, brings an almost pop-adjacent catchiness that belies the leftfield, experimental nature of his rhythmic structures and warped sound palettes.

It’s this intricate musicianship which has seen Hedchef release on acclaimed labels including Scuffed Recordings in London, New York-based Worst Behaviour and Berlin’s International Chrome, with a stacked schedule of upcoming releases that continue the mission of expanding the boundaries of functional club tools.
These tracks can be heard in the sets of some of the world’s most venerated DJs and tastemakers, from Dave Clarke and Anastasia Kristensen to Detroit In Effect, Jensen Interceptor and Solid Blake.

Most recently, his collaborations with cross-genre wizard Doctor Jeep have been a staple in the international club circuit. Behind the decks, Hedchef has played his brand of technical, unorthodox techno at some of the world’s most prestigious clubs and events, from legendary London institution Unfold and Abyss in Shanghai to Sydney mainstay Club77.
Hedchef continues to keep the listener guessing whilst staying rooted firmly on the dancefloor, and his work unfalteringly develops in scope and ambition with each project.

Hedchef & Hank Schussman - Earthcrimes [SPE:C]

Released as part of YUKU’s ‘5 Years In The Wild’ series.

Out now.

Hedchef - There Did Emerge An Unreality [YUKU]

https://soundcloud.com/hedchef
https://soundcloud.com/tom-place-music
https://soundcloud.com/hedplacesynthetics

Hedchef and Tom Place announce a new collaborative record label and science-fiction world.

Mainstays of broken-beat techno and bass-driven electro Hedchef and Tom Place have launched a new label, named Hedplace Synthetics, Inc., to explore deeper, groove-focused sounds drawing from dub techno, tech house and dubstep.

The imprint will initially only be releasing the two producers’ own work, accompanied by an ever-growing fictional world of hazardous chemicals, scientific experiments and shady corporate dealings, brought to life by Hedchef’s brother and real-life engineer Titus L.

Hedplace Synthetics’ inaugural release ‘Monitor, Measure, Manipulate’ consists of three Hedchef and Tom Place collaborations. From the synthy and percussive opener ‘Further Into The Labyrinth’ through steppy rhythms and Detroit stabs on ‘Chord Chaser’, to fire alarm intensity on closer ‘Exosphere’, the duo weave together sounds from across the dance music spectrum whilst maintaining the distinctive, gritty sonic signature they’ve established on previous releases for labels including SPE:C, Unknown To The Unknown, Scuffed Recordings, EC2A and International Chrome. Titus L’s visual universe introduces us to the Hedplace Synthetics factory, where industrial machinery and power tools jerk and whirr to the rhythm of the tracks - or perhaps creating the very rhythms themselves?

‘Monitor, Measure, Manipulate’ by Hedchef & Tom Place drops on November 28th. Early support from object blue, Roza Terenzi, Om Unit, Ila Brugal, Identified Patient, Ayesha, Ma Sha, Sinistarr + many more

𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐅𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄 ➟ Hedchef & Tom Place - Further Into The Labyrinth

Stockists, procurers and brokers are advised of availability for HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. novel compound, assigned product code ‘SYN001’ and purchasable from HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. representatives on 28th November 2025.

Preliminary studies suggest that SYN001 demonstrates even greater potential for laboratory applications than previously anticipated. Laboratory technicians for HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. have identified several properties of interest observed in prototype batches of SYN001:

- Sudden and mostly irreversible indications of religious fervour observed in individuals working in close proximity to (or, as in one case, simply having a conversation regarding) SYN001.

- Low-level radioactivity and oxidising properties.

- Erratic, unpredictable behaviour of research team involved in SYN001 synthesis.

- Spontaneous emission of seemingly complex sound structures - one observer characterised these emissions as “dope bass-driven four-to-the-floor club tools”. No confirmation can be given to the veracity of this assessment.

Due to recent incidents HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. reminds affiliates once again that SYN001 and all other HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. products are not for human consumption. HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. accepts no responsibility for consequences arising from the usage of SYN001.

Please contact HEDPLACE SYNTHETICS, INC. directly for further information.

Threads Radio - Hedchef w/ False Persona (4x4 Electro Special)

For the first 2021 edition of the Hedchef show, we've got a quite a special one - joined by none another than top-tier legend, king of the scene, and the hardest-working guy in electro: DVS NME. If you're a fan of electro you should need no introduction to DVS NME - aside from running the Dark Science Electro platform, he's an esteemed producer and DJ in his own right, with releases on Solar One and collaborations with Datawave, amongst many others, and his D.S.E. mix series has now clocked up over 500 episodes. Hedchef himself will be taking you through an hour of wiggy electro, techno and a bit of leftfield stuff - unreleased tracks from himself, Dufraine, Riot Code, Porchcrawler, and Tom Jarmey's new alias Ocean Stirs.
