Eora (Sydney AU) based Shroomape blends deep bass, psychedelic textures, and experimental rhythms to create raw, genre-blurring journeys. Drawing from dub, drum and bass, and psych-influenced sounds, his sets move beyond the dancefloor - inviting listeners into a space where introspection and movement meet.

Each mix is less about performance and more about process: tuning in, letting go, and reconnecting through sound. It's music as a ritual - anchored in feeling, guided by frequency.

Apeth is all about deep, dark, and technical drum and bass. A proper bass fiend and regular on the doof circuit, he's always digging for fresh sounds and exploring the heavier, more intricate corners of the genre. His sets are unpredictable but intentional - think minimal techy grooves, psychedelic rollers, and heavy low-end pressure.

Now based in Mulubinba, he's been getting amongst it with crews like Newy Bass Crew, Lowfreq and Resurrect, while still holding it down on the Gold Coast as a co-runner of Shadow Bass - a monthly gathering that keeps it raw, underground, and focused on quality drum and bass with zero fluff. It's a space for both up-and-comers and seasoned heads to throw down and connect.

Apeth's played everything from doofs like Fungal Forest to club nights like PSYDEN, Sub Culture, Trigga Fingaz, and a UK slot with WOBZ. 

Apeth's mix roll through the many sinister flavours he's known for conjuring up. Expect tight mixing, deep cuts, and a proper journey through the heavier side of drum and bass.

Shinui Tzura - To change form

A shift in the world is a shift in art. As life has demanded a new form of myself my art has changed. 
-Driving. Signifying the consistent push of self discipline 
-Intricate. Conveying the complexity of life as the journey of growth asks for so many plates span at once
-Chaotic. Explaining the messy imperfections that make up authenticity
-Enchantment. Seeing the beauty at the end of a journey

This reflection of my soul is what i offer to you. 

Arna.
