There is magic to be found in music. Inspired to dance we can leave the world behind. In between beats we find a world where the imagination can fly.

This is the dance floor crafted by Montana. Not just a set of epic beats, but a tapestry of magical moments that brings people together to create memories that last a lifetime.

Her love of creation, with her versatile talent and her 10 years of damned hard work have allowed Montana to rise in the Melbourne music scene.

On stage at Elysium festival, Rainbow Serpent Festival / Burner theme camps, The Comfort Zone Festival, Elysium Festival; Esoteric festival, New Dawn. Every set a journey that gets the dance floor pounding catered to the vibe of the house and the expression of sound || soul.

Adaptive across Progressive house, Techno, House, Deep house, Tech house and Funky disco, Montana’s sound is every fresh, always fun and never to be missed.

“I love how people let go of everything on a dance floor and just dance”

Ask UK producer COCKROACH, where it all began, and he’ll tell you about waking up on the platform of Leeds train station, waiting for the early morning post-train back to his home town of Scarborough. He had been to see punk band, The Exploited, at a club called ‘Branningans’, and he had to get back for school that morning - he was thirteen years old. The seeds had been well and truly planted a few years before, with the remnants of The Sex Pistols, and The Clash,still reverberating through the live music scene. This had an impact on COCKROACH and travelling up and down the country to see bands became the norm. The punk scene was something special so it was here, on the post-train to Scarborough in his early teens that he realised, music was life and life was music…

From the lush, green embrace of the Dandenong Ranges, emerges Timmus, a sonic architect mapping the uncharted territories of sound. His name, a subtle reversal of "summit," hints at a collective climb, a voyage into the heart of vibration. "Music is the air in every breath," he declares, a testament to a life lived in resonant harmony.

As the owner and director of the Australian label Smash Bang Records, Timmus is a prolific artist with a diverse range of sonic explorations. He crafts and performs under various aliases, each a unique facet of his artistic vision: Sacred Summit, Micro Jaxon, Swingtime Paradigm, and Psymus Drummit. He also lends his rhythmic prowess as the hybrid drummer for The Oddness & Band.

These projects, along with his solo work, showcase his ability to seamlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of sonic exploration.
He is a weaver of sound, a collector of auditory fragments, a builder of sonic sanctuaries. From the tender age of four, nestled in the quiet of rural Victoria, he crafted instruments and captured sonic impressions on cassette. By twelve, he was sculpting sonic landscapes with digital tools, foreshadowing his future as a master of auditory alchemy.

Timmus is a prism, refracting sound into a spectrum of artistic expressions. His DJ sets are not mere performances but immersive journeys, blurring the lines between genres, inviting listeners to transcend the ordinary. He is a sonic archaeologist, unearthing the hidden frequencies of the world. Field recordings, tribal rhythms, minimalist whispers, and sacred harmonies merge into a tapestry of sound. He crafts instruments from the remnants of the everyday, coaxing forgotten melodies from discarded objects. His vision: a "universal gathering of beings and cultures," a symphony of micro-sounds that heal and unite.

In the tranquil haven of Artimmus / Creative Concepts & Studio Recording, nestled amidst the whispering trees of the Dandenong Ranges, Timmus extends his artistry to others. He offers a sanctuary for creative souls, a space where the intangible becomes real. He captures the essence of sound, from the raw energy of a live performance to the subtle nuances of a spoken word. He crafts sonic healing journeys and collaborates with artists to bring their visions to life.

Having released his music on labels across the globe and remixed prominent artists, Timmus has performed at festivals worldwide, his performances leaving trails of sonic stardust.
Timmus invites you to join him on his climb, a journey into the heart of sound, a quest for the peak of sonic consciousness.
