Nick Wales & Rrawun Maymuru – Yolngu

A retrospective mix celebrating 2 wonderful years of Motorik....

"Motorik is the most important and exciting thing to happen in Australian dance music since the bang gang. There is a really awesome and inspired thing that’s going on, amplified by the fact that it’s a movement based in comraderie instead of competition. From releases to parties to the fact that ‘vibe chancellor’ is actually on Vi’s business card (if I’m not mistaken?), Motorik is doing it right. Happy second birthday!!!"

- Louisa Pillot (Louisahhh!!!)

"MOTORIK nights have been by far my best shows in australia, these guys own techno there, and I can’t wait to come back - I also have to admit there’s always a motorik release in my sets. guys, please, do me favour a release more stuff, or I"ll play angle of Incidence forever"

- Joan Mael Péneau (Maelstrom)

Motorik is legit. I just wanna wish all ya’ll who make it happen a appy 2nd birthday! y’all are the main reason techno music stays alive down under. I been lucky enough to be around before the birth of motorik and to this day all you guys been legit to your sound and passionate about being innovative and not being afraid to push the boundaries. I recently happened to play a very appropriate date (Cinco De Mayo) with the motorik crew. the vibe was amazing! The party  gave me a huge reminder that the underground is alive and well and that the underground also comes with fine ass women too. so keep on keeping that shit extra sexy and hopefully i get to be a part of another legendary Motorik Party! Happy Birthday Playboys!

stay up! 

- Victor (Harvard Bass)

Far and away my favourite nights to play at in Sydney are the Motorik parties. For me it feels like being part of something underground, kind of like the old Bang Gang but a newer version. The warehouses and clubs are always raw, the music isn’t compromising to mass appeal and all the crew are my buds. What else could i ask for? I wish the crew a happy 2nd birthday and i’ll be doing my best to ensure there are many more too!! Catch me throwing high 5’s on the Saturday night lawds!!! 

- Jordan Feller (Light Year)

Motorik are setting the standard for Australian underground dance music with the combination of an extremely well curated, packaged record label [needless to say we here at wordlife are stoked that they release our music] and killer roving parties every month anointing hundreds of ravers in the sacred flames of techno. We’re proud to be part of the fam!

FBi Mix 18 - Captain Mustache

Motorik! is pleased to announce the first contribution to the label from long-time friend and underground workhorse Luen.

Title track Strange Purpose's low-slung rubbery electro kicks things off. Squelches are paired with choral ringing pads and panning vocals ringing through your brain. Why So Soft? offers dreamy ambience and crispy percussion punctuated by tranced-out euphoric bleeps that swell and swell; late-night rhythmic bliss that soothes and elevates.

The flip comes in hot with remixes of both tracks. Nicola Cruz squeezes all the juice from the title track and pours out a watery electro journey that glitches and trickles its way through your auditory cortex. Philou Louzolo's take on Why So Soft? synergises ambience, acid harmonies and the EPs only 4x4 kick to provide dancefloor air, sway and groove.

MTKMIX002: DREEMS

Santamaria Brothers & Francis Xavier at Neomenia '25

MTKMIX003 - Neomenia '25

Old friends. New Music. 

You would be very hard pressed to find two more universally venerated individuals within the Australian dance music community. In an attempt to spare you the enthusiastic fanboy eulogies, we will say that Xavier & Smart have for a LONG time been 2 important ingredients in the glue that holds the Sydney underground together and keeps it honest. From ecstasy drenched stadiums headlined by Infusion, to the legendary hedonism of Tweekin, these boys have been working on the drum sounds with much patience since the beginning. In case you didn't know already, Motorik! is honoured to present: Francis Xavier & Phil Smart - Way Down (Underground). 

The music: 
Way Down (Underground): The sorcerers are at their mind-warping best on this 10 minute journey. Perpetual motion has finally been achieved, thanks to some of the most delicious drum programming we've heard in while. This is a deep, percussive journey that is as soulful as it is driving. Pure 3am magic! 

Out Jan 15 on Motorik

Craig is a man who has done it all.  He’s from hot & humid Queensland, he lives in dry & hot LA and he delivers fast & hot techno. Last Moment will be far from his last though, driven analogue party techno at its finest here folks. With Philosophique Girl lending her vocal chords and M&M lending their remix skills it’s a star-studded release just in time for Christmas. So blow the dust off the ole turntable because this is Craig doing what Craig does best, he gives 3 tracks which could all be the A-side. So ignore the tracklisting, this bad boi has no B-sides.

Luke Alessi is bringing his moody sound to Motorik for the very first time. I Led You whispers and stomps to lock you down in the depth. The foundations are so strong we had to bring remixes to life. McLean & Mai give the outrageous punch and William Kiss give the measured touch.
