The story continues for the republic after a forced hiatus! The troupe of vagabonds have gathered once more, scheming and plotting an escape from this dimension into planets and galaxies far far away. Places uninhabited by politicians, a decentralised free world where there is enough for all and everyone is connected, that is the Republic.

First up, an astral travelling outfit of mysterious origins and sizeable orbits, 'The Planetts' drop an ode to space travel, with the silky vocals Ciaran Gribbin on 'To The Moon'. Beginning with melodic pads and smooth vocal harmonies, look for an unexpected turn that may appeal to your techno soul. Ciaran has a rich history of songwriting having been nominated for a Grammy in 2010 whilst penning music for Madonna and Paul Oakenfold, in addition fronting legendary Australian rock band INXS since 2012.

Track 2 sees Los Angeles based Ant J Steep drop a classic house tune with a vocal sample from an interview with a singer of mass appeal, can you pick who it is? You will find yourself on a journey immersed in the masterfully pitched, rhythmically programmed vocal stabs, cruising in a sonic submarine radiating technicolour, whilst navigating a story of frequency and sympathetic vibration. Jump on for the ride!

The last piece of the story is completed by a newcomer in his debut release, originally from ol Blightly but now ensconced in a green valley just north of Sydney, we see 'butters' release his first tune, warm on rhythms, blended with some big uplifting strings to deliver a dancefloor experience that will have you dreaming and shaking your booty at the same time.

During peak pandemic days in 2020, there was a sizeable exodus from Australia's locked down major cities towards the free open and creative promised lands of Byron Bay. Among the species trekking North was a curious one that no-one had ever seen before.   

Then one late Saturday night in the hinterlands of tha Bay, this unique prowess was spotted occasionally popping up at house parties in the area. Fortune had it that one of our Reckless Republic A&R scouts spotted this nocturnal life form setting up an impressive habitat for its performance. Including a Moog sub37, an Elektron machine drum, a Prophet 6 synthesiser, a Roland TR8S, an Akai APC40, an electric guitar and last but not least a saxophone. As we watched on with amazement anticipating seeing a group of these rare creatures, it soon became clear that only one of them was to appear, it was a one-of-a-kind 24 y/o male, his name, Quackers.    

Like the Cosmic Dingo itself (title of track 3), since those fateful days in Byron Shire, Quackers has been seen snacking on a good dose of groovy house  sounds, occasionally whirling into techno and beyond; raw, groovy, dreamy, swampy, glitchy with overlays of organic instrumentation, this EP has it all. 

A few months later, a visit to the Reckless Republic HQ in Paddington, Sydney to perform his jaw-dropping live show for the Burning Man MultiVerse worldwide stream followed by some intense sessions in 'the Planettarium' studio meant that finally we could expose this rare breed of talent to the world.
