Next up in the Diffraction Mix Series we have FNQ producer and selecta, FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT. Alfred is a massive supporter and mainstay of the Far North Queensland festival community. FLOW-TEK is an integral player both on the decks and on the dancefloor. He creates a mood and space reflecting the quintessential FNQ character… Progressive and reflective of his natural surroundings, with a huge low end to keep you moving!

FLOW-TEK / DRIPCRAFT is the progressive trance/d’n’b/psy project from producer Alfred Stewart. Hailing from the lush tropics of far North Queensland his signature sound is an earthy melodic pulse... with a touch of redneck and a swallow of moonshine comes a whopping bassline with a crisp and well-structured finish.

Alfred presents with the stage presence of a well-seasoned punter, his sets guiding you through a subconscious safari, while diving into the thought process and brainwaves of himself, leaving nothing behind except pure intent and good memories.

FLOW-TEK/DRIPCRAFT frequents the stages throughout Queensland, and Australia with his focus on expanding into the global circuit.

Big ups and massive thanks for your time and energy on this one brother!

Diffraction Collective work to create unique arts events, bringing together the creative community from North Queensland, Australia, and the world, to create a fresh mix of sound and visual art.

Introducing Milton Montenegro, the rhythmic maestro hailing from the bustling streets of São Paulo’s East Zone and now gracing the Gold Coast with his vibrant Brazilian spirit. An import not just in name, but in a musical journey that pulses with passion and a flourishing talent that transcends boundaries.

Milton's musical odyssey began in the heart of a family steeped in melodies. From early days helping his father manage a karaoke and entertainment business to the Sunday rituals of drumming at his local church, music was in his blood. His initiation into electronic beats happened in the vibrant clubs of São Paulo, where the dance floor became his sanctuary.

With an energetic heart synced to the bass, Milton crafts sonic voyages that traverse deep, progressive landscapes, blending sexy melodies with rumbling basslines and a touch of psychedelia. While he's acclaimed for his dynamic Techno sets, his versatility shines in everything from groovy Downtempo to mind-bending Psytech. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian luminaries like Victor Ruiz, Alex Stein, and Gabriel Moraes, Milton finds his muse in the diverse tapestry of people and the world around him.

Australia became Milton's stage, starting in the cultural hub of Byron Bay where he transformed streets into stages and the public into his audience through busking. Immersed in the vibrant hospitality and nightlife of Byron, he honed his craft in the rainforest sanctuary. From house and boat parties to club nights and private events, Milton's journey led to his first official booking in 2019, and there's been no looking back.

Having graced stages alongside artists like Metodi Hristov, Alex Stein, and Earthogen, Milton's momentum surged. His recent milestone - a set at Earth Frequency Festival 2023 - is a testament to his unstoppable ascent. A multi-instrumentalist, Milton is now translating his skills into original productions, collaborating with Caco Law in their project Mountlaw, already boasting several released tracks. With eyes set on the Australian Festival scene, and backed by a robust fan base and the support of Round Town Promotions and Hive Bookings, Milton is poised to spread love both in the studio and on stage.

For this vibrant talent, it's all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove - creating connections, sharing emotions, and elevating dancers. Expect the unexpected as Milton Montenegro weaves a sonic tapestry that will have you moving without realizing it. 

BORA!
