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.

Salif Keita (born 25 August 1949) is an internationally recognized Afro-Pop singer and song writer from Mali. He is unique not only because of his reputation as the Golden Voice of Africa, but because he is an albino and a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, Sundiata Keita.

Osibisa is a British Afrobeat band, founded in London in 1969 by four expatriate African and three Caribbean musicians. Their music is a fusion of African, Caribbean, jazz, funk, rock, Latin, and R&B and highlife.
Osibisa were the most successful and longest lived of the African-heritage bands in London, alongside such contemporaries as Assagai, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, Demon Fuzz, and Noir, and were largely responsible for the establishment of world music as a marketable genre.
