I made you a mix tape of super cool mostly local kids and their super cool mostly local tracks. This list is by no means definitive given how thick and heavy Melbourne is with talent but is a small sample of those I've had the pleasure to see, perform alongside and admire. Those in the list who are not Melbourne based left their mark here too and for that I am grateful. Thanks for being rad Melbourne. Regards - Laura Davis      @}-,--'---

Thank you also to the venues that continue to put all these amazing people and myself on stage. Tote Hotel, John Curtain, Howler, Grace Darling, Old Bar, Bar Open, Public Project, Loop Bar, Long Play, Yarra Hotel, Post Office Hotel, Tramway Hotel, Also Gallery, Liberty Social (may it rest in peace)and many more, without them I would never have come in contact with any of these wonderful human beings and certainly my life would not be as full as it is today.

Let me know if I've missed anyone super obvious or for any reason you'd like me to remove your track from this list. x

WORKSHOP- Purity Exhibition

Cleaners

ロンドンのレッドブル・ミュージック・アカデミーをDaisuke TanabeやAndras Foxと共に卒業し、最近ではi-Dにインタビューされ注目を集める、オーストラリア・メルボルンを拠点に活動するBecky Sui Zhen (DJネームはDJ Susan)。『Body Reset』は、前回リリースのEP『Female Basic』よりもレトロフューチャリスティックなサウンドに新しく進化を遂げた。東京・高円寺の街並みや、長野の山奥の温泉にも影響を受けて作ったという、クールなシンセサウンドと808ビートにドリーミーな歌声を乗せ、タイトル通り、体も心もリセットできそうな25分間の作品に仕上がった。

カセットは、オーダーから営業日２日以内に配送。

‘Body Reset’ sees Sui Zhen develop the music found in the Female Basic EP and move on to a new, retro-futuristic sound. This time influenced as much by late nights in Koenji, Tokyo as at an onsen/sauna in the mountains of Nagano, here Sui Zhen explores the resetting of both body and mind with 25 minutes of swelling synths, 808 beats and dreamy vocals.

taken from Nina Buchanan 'Sunk' NM009

Debut release of hi-res, bare bones hardware techno from Melbourne-based synthesis explorer Nina Buchanan. Parallel to creating woozy extended synth pop jams in duo Video Ezy (Paradise Daily) as well as pushing dynamic textural noise forms into unique shapes in UTI (duo with Maya Kjellstrand of Bleach Boys, Leopard Leg), Buchanan has arrived at a precision nexus of brutalist techno and a truly uplifting style of ecstatic melodic synth riffage. Conjuring thick atmospheres and tonalities with almost blu-ray levels of vibrancy is perhaps in essence attributable to the simplicity of her chosen elements; 1 synth, 1 drum machine - the rest is purely incendiary sparks, resonating brightly in the spaces in between. For fans of Helena Hauff, Regis, Nitzer Ebb.
