Helsinki based, powerhouse producer SANSIBAR is steps up the Passing Notes plate for episode 52! Sunny Seppa aka Sansibar has made a name for himself through releases on notable labels such as Textasy's FTP, natural sciences, Altered States Tapes and most recently, new Finnish imprint Émotsiya. Over the past year, there has definitely been ‘something in the water’ in Melbourne’s underground dance scene. You might think I’m talking about fluoride, but I’m talking about Sansibar’s suite of mischievous ghetto tech and electro productions which have featured heavily, and with good reason around town.

Sansibar showcases the depth and bredth of his record collection in Passing Notes episode 52. 

Broadcast Live on PBSfm 106.7 28/02/2020.

Floss Dogg has gone from strength to strength since she started performing at Primer, an event she co-runs alongside partners Robbie nine-0 and Freddy Gardens since 2017. She plays a mixture of club heat, packing a bag that spans from UK bass and techno to classic house and garage. To further nourish her need to create and share music, Floss created the Astro girl night at Angel Music Bar, a platform which highlights Melbourne’s more underground DJs. Alongside that, she is also the host of Arvo Girls, a monthly Skylab Radio broadcast which doubles as a weekly night at Dr Morse.

Any conversation about local producers with the potential for a global audience should feature Fader Cap (FKA Sedgwick). Hailing from Ballarat and now based in Melbourne, the producer/DJ is a bona fide studio head crafting electronic music soaked in hard-hitting electro elements, classic house motif's and warm, ethereal ambient soundscapes. When he's not DJing or performing live club sets on his extensive hardware collection, he looks after the daily operations of the very much favoured Potatoheadz imprint. It's a label releasing the kind of music that will be considered timeless in the not-too-distant future. Sit back and enjoy the sci-fi world of Fader Cap.
