// Basitan's Happy Flight //
Conceived from a love of early 80's bogey funk and disco, Bastian's Happy Flight is the declaration of founding member Will Slade's obsession with a style of music full of a positive feeling and energy.

After Slade spent too long alone behind the decks and in front of cumbersome computer software he reached out into the ocean of Perth musician to hand pick a band comprised of classmates, old pals and strangers befriended at a distant dance festival. The result is Bastian's Happy Flight; Will Slade (vocals/keys/synth), Jack Doepel (synth/bass/saxophone), Alex Dew (guitar/ back-up vocals), Troy Mutton (drums), Tom Allum (pads/ percussion).

The band started rehearsing in 2010, with their first gig at the Norfolk Basement (still among their favourite places to play). In the resultant years BHF have supported such international and Australian acts as Jaques Renault ( USA), POND, Snakadaktal and Does It Offend You Yeah? (UK) as well as playing slots in such festival line-ups as Summerdayze, Parklife & Southbound. In 2011 they won a WAM award for best Electronic song with their first single 'My Love'. They were also nominated in 2012 for Best Dance song, Best Pop Song, Best Guitarist and Best Keyboardist/ Multi-instrumentalist.

Their first EP, 'EP01' was recorded around Fremantle with producer and friend Matt Giovannangelo and released in June 2011. Interest for the recording outside of Perth led to an electronic re-release with UK label Mullet Records almost a year later. Their second EP is set to be released mid 2013.

Despite obvious references to decades past in both their sound and band name, BHF offer a very unique energy to their recordings and live sound, both very separate entities to them. Sans backing tracks, plug-ins and flimsy gimmicks, BHF breaks the mould of electronic music with their emphasis on honest live music played with indefatigable energy and exposed hearts, without the pretence and sense of irony much beloved by many music makers.
Think of it as the upbeat soundtrack to your life.

Towards the end of 2006 Michael Kempe, a.k.a. Daisycutter, discovered the psychedelic trance scene in Perth, Western Australia, wherein he immediately fell in love with its music and people. He was signed label DJ for the genre defining Zenon Records in 2010 after bring a regular addition to the local indoor and outdoor scene, Daisycuyter has played across Australia, New Zealand and Thailand, performing at huge festivals such as Outback Eclipse 2012, Lost the Plot in Victoria, Voyage Festival in NZ, The Experience Festival in Thailand, as well as numerous smaller events. On return from headlining Twisted Frequency on NYE 2013/2014 in New Zealand, Daisycutter was signed to the legendary Canadian techno label D.M.T. Records. The deep, moody and intelligent techno sound perfectly compliments and synergises with the Zenon records sound, creating unique and cutting edge sets as featured on the premier U.K underground radio station, FNOOB. 

Since moving to Melbourne in January 2014, he has flourished in the scene, often being booked for progressive and techno sets at the same events. With an upcoming tour in New Zealand in early 2015 as well as several interstate gigs in the second half of 2014 Daisycutter is set to continue doing what he does best and is in high demand for his seamless transitions, selections and attention to detail, delivering rocking sets and solid, well managed events. Daisycutter revels in pumping out a unique blend of deep, intelligent and psychedelic music, earning him a place at the peak of the progressive/tech scene.
