“Embodying classical aesthetic, music and culture, Benjamin Skepper is a musician with an extraordinary sense of the contemporary” (M. Pugliese, Director Museo 900 for Rolling Stone Italy)

Ordia’s journey with electronic music began in the early '90s, falling in love with dance music before even understanding what it was. Influenced early on by pioneers like Jam & Spoon, Orbital, and Underworld, these formative sounds laid the foundation for a lifelong obsession.

His voice and selections have featured across numerous radio shows - from underground UK broadcasts to Melbourne’s Street FM, and even co-hosting on Kiss FM in the late '90s. Today, he's come full circle, hosting Positive Education every Monday night on Kiss FM Australia - a show known for its carefully curated sets, guest interviews and deep dives into the genre’s icons.

In particular, the 101 Series has become a fan favourite: a radio documentary-style format celebrating legendary acts like The Prodigy, Future Sound of London, Jeff Mills, Aphex Twin, and Underworld - weaving music, stories, and context into a sonic journey through their legacies.

While Ordia’s taste spans the electronic spectrum, techno remains his foundation - especially the deeper, hypnotic, melodic strains. His sets blend rolling rhythms, heavy synth basslines, and immersive atmospheres that are as entrancing as they are energising.

Catch him every Monday 8:30-10pm only on Kiss FM: Dance Music Australia.

Sol Flare a.k.a Dominic Wood combines 80’s synths, electronic beats and soulful vocal lines to create his own unique style of melodic electronic.  

2018’s ‘Chroma’ EP and the following string of singles including ‘Blueshift’, ‘Retrofit’ and 'Coloured by the Sound' saw support from BBC Introducing, London Live, 6Music & Amazing Radio. While based in the UK, Sol Flare performed well-received sets at Blue Dot, Kendal Calling and London Live festivals. Early 2020 saw Sol Flare take his energetic live set on a run of Australian club shows at Oxford Arts Factory, Melbourne’s Laser Highway and the infamous Elsewhere in Surfers Paradise. 

Now based in Melbourne, Sol Flare has kept busy during lockdown finalising upcoming releases and organising numerous international streaming festivals as co-founder of Synth Stream. 2021 will see Sol Flare return to the Australian club circuit, before more shows and releases later in the year.
