Meet Natch - The Technocoloured Groove Machine!

Falling booty first into the Sydney techno scene of the late 90's and early 00's, it's safe to say Natch has been around the block a few times. Okay, like, hundreds of times. Recently moving to Newcastle and getting involved in the scene up here has been awesome! Sure, the scene is understandably smaller, but there's some great vibes and excellent humans keeping Newy bathed in fresh beats. 

With eclectic taste, a diverse sound and a finely tuned ear for all that is funky, he's spent the last 25 years honing his skills and refining his sound to be dancefloor focused and heavy on the bass. One of his good friends once described him to someone he'd just met as the funkiest person he knows - a huge accolade! Being a bass player way before he even got into electronic beats, it was inevitable that his sound would end up being rich, thick and chunky; you know, like a good bolognese! Whether it be house, jackin, tech, techno, drum and bass, glitch, breaks, psy or bass, you can be rest assured that twisted techy groove is the central ingredient in any dish he serves.

He's played at so many things over so many years that it's impossible to access the broken bar fridge at the back of his mind to name them all. Natch has rocked clubs, pubs, wine bars, back yards, front yards, warehouses, basements, boats and countless house parties - and loved every single second of it! More recently though, he was a long-standing resident at Sydney's favourite (now sadly gone) roof top party, Sundaes. Co-founder and put on parties with Sundaes Social Club. Co-founder and put on parties with Grüvn. Natch also had a guest mix spot on Australia Represent that aired on DnB Radio. 

If he had the ability to travel back in time to when he first started out with his belt-driven turntables (if you know, you know) and his beaten up 2 channel battle mixer, he'd love to be able to tell himself that he'll never lose the love for the tunes, and watch the cheeky little smile form on his stupid face. In doing so though, he'd probably also tear a hole right up the guts of the space-time continuum, but that's a future-Natch problem. Or would it be a past-Natch problem? Maybe he's already said too much...

Strap in for the funkiest of glitch hop! This mix is a groovy, upbeat journey from start to finish.
