Benjamin Walsh, the drummer from Australian electronic legends THE BIRD, is releasing his debut solo album ‘Remix Experiment’ on Friday September 8th through Hydrofunk Records. His first solo release coincides with the 20-year anniversary of Hydrofunk Records, and will be released digitally worldwide, and will also be available on vinyl.

Benjamin Walsh is a world-renowned percussionist and is legendary for his ability to adapt and fuse styles, creating and reinventing approaches to traditional formulas of rhythm and sound.  He has been the driving force behind many innovative and ground-breaking musical projects and partnerships over the last twenty years - most notably as the brain-child of electronic live fusion sensation; THE BIRD, a musical project which morphed from an innovative duo into a multi-instrumental musician's collaborative. 

On his debut, solo album ‘Remix Experiment’ he designed a system to control his machines using his voice and drumsticks while drumming, with every take on the album using a different drum kit setup, often incorporating homemade drums, cymbals and junk items to push his sound further.  Each track is a live take and references something different, but the one thing bringing it all together is Ben's masterful, progressive drumming.

20 Years Of Hydrofunk Records

Gung Fu” sees Tigermoth combining his love of Hip Hop, and Eastern Philosophies, together with the martial arts film and television of his childhood. Utilising traditional eastern samples, 60s and 70s Bollywood soundtracks, along with zen themed vocal narratives, Gung Fu could best be described as RZA meets Tarrantino somewhere in a Shaolin Temple. It is the soundtrack of an as yet realised film, or the musical version of a graphic novel. Over the course of the album Tigermoth evokes his Tiger spirit, one of the 5 animal styles of kung fu, and explores ideas of good and evil, turmoil and peace. Themes eternally relevant, and ever-present, particularly in today’s world of conflict and polarities.

THE HYRDOFUNK INSTITUTE OF MODERN MUSIC est..1997
Hydrofunk Records is a label we started out in 1997, It came about as a club night where we could put on acts and play music that wasn't getting a look in amongst the music industry .. 
26 years on we have seen many artists on the label some have moved on others are still arriving," we are an indie label " 
I DJ a lot as DeeJaye Katch, I also  DJ with my musical friend Dave Dog as 2dogs we also have a band called Resin Dogs we have played in many other bands, projects and recordings around Australia and the globe, 
We Love making, playing, mixing, remixing, recording. 
We love putting out music.. So drop us a line if you think you're stuff is our vibe
please check out our HYDROFUNK website.. 
 
Peace
