Jag Singh is a Multidisciplinary Artist, an accomplished Indian percussionist (tabla, drums and electronica) and composer, with foundations in Indian classical and Jazz training.

Jag gets inspiration from the music of the world, natural rhythms and melodies. His style of playing is visually inspired; invoking images of old India and urban Melbourne (Australia) where he has grown up.

Jag also plays trumpet and flugelhorn, he beatboxes and creates soundscapes with his voice.

The alchemy of techno is forged with a variety of tools. In darkened concrete crucibles, flowering tongues of light leap lapping across flesh slick with sweat, as bass hammers the shape of the sound into the minds throbbing within. In a city that both reveres and takes such institutions of arcane aurals as commonplace, what revelations may yet be gleaned on the dance floor?

The sonic world of Halv Drøm delve deep into this burning question. Weaving science and spirituality into well-established engines of industrial, EBM and post-punk, Saxon Jorgensen’s work seeks to break out of the confines of “dark” music (by this point an overused descriptor, particularly in these crumbling times) to shape something far more imperious and personal. Whereas techno is so often used as a sledgehammer, Jorgensen wields it like an ice-sculptor with a chainsaw.

Rooted in an appreciation of personal magick and political upheaval, accordingly a strong DIY aesthetic is Halv Drøm’s backbone. Field recordings, guitars churned into shrieking maelstroms, binaural frequencies that sidle beneath waves of polyrhythmic experimentation, and a willingness to go beyond comfortable dance patterns are all in play here. Modern electronics and ancient chakra tonal systems form a ritual of harsh healing; imperative in our time.

Complex, melodic and rhythmic electronic music by Melbourne producer Zac Richards.

Ninja Gaijin (Melbourne, Australia) originally began playing guitar in Indie Rock, Improvised Noise & Metal bands in 1997, and was a student of Melbourne's Rock n Roll High School. After falling in love with Jungle in 1995, he later discovered and became equally enraptured with Terrorcore, Speedcore & Breakcore music. For a couple of years he produced as Quantum Nanotech Extinction before settling on his current moniker - a namesake of the video game Ninja Gaiden. His music primarily focuses on expressing deep emotions with juxtapositon of light and dark elements.

He also organises events under the name Subterfuge Seminars (primarily the Terrorcore, Breakcore & Hardcore Techno club event Axed, which he co-runs alongside Dutch ex-pat DJ Jor Terror). Ninja has additionally done some rapping (as Tannu Gaijin), a bit of Tuvan & Mongolian style throat-singing, and in the late `90s created and maintained official band websites for acts such as Sea Scouts and Ninetynine under the banner 'The Grey Sea'. He also has dabbled in zine writing, music journalism, music photography and hosting the occasional community radio show.
