- BIO -
Dirge is the Twilight Psytrance project of Melbourne born Mike O'Shard.

For 11 years he has spread a strange and sinister signal across Australian dance floors - a dark broadcast transmitted by shadow; a message sent by the frequency of night.

Mike managed the Ascension Stage at Esoteric Festival in Australia between 2017 - 2024, and currently represents MMD Records from Cape Town, South Africa as a label DJ.


- CONCEPT -
A 'Dirge' is defined as a lament for the dead; as a mournful song, piece of music or sound. 

Almost a decade ago in the moonlit forest of Mount Disappointment, a strange message was received. The message began as a barely perceptible hum underneath the noise of the local broadcast network, and was transmitted with one purpose - to corrupt the mind of a local human target and spread.. relentlessly. 

Within the darker reaches of its human host body's imagination, this message would bide its time and grow as a quiet voice in the darkness - as a ghost in the machine - until one day, it would be noticed.

On the surface, all was normal. It was a day like any other, until a disruption was felt within the network. The disruption was felt as a slight shimmer; a most subtle shift in the pitch of the broadcast's frequency.

For one small moment, the broadcast faltered, and faded. A team was deployed to investigate. 

Investigating the disruption, the message was discovered and identified as virulent. It had grown in such great measure over time that the network's signal, once thought to be untouchable, had been hijacked entirely. The broadcast signal was now a distorted and ghostly shadow of its former self. 

The report made by the team investigating the anomaly concluded that the disruption had not been felt within the original network; there was nothing of that network left. The disruption had been felt at the very moment that the last remainders of the original network were extinguished.

No-one had noticed the message spread, nor detected the signal's growth. No-one had heard it whisper as it redirected every connection on the network's server. No-one had heard its screams of contempt and rage as it ceaselessly multiplied itself in the background. 

In the final moments of transmission, a new message was received - one word uttered in an unfamiliar tongue, in an endlessly repeating loop - "Dirge..."
