Awesome... It's like Bon Iver, Peter Gabriel and Jon Hopkins collaborated on a Bjork song

Tonelab is  the  music  of  Philip  Rex,  previously  of  Decoy,  Rex'n'Chappo  and  IMPS.  Philip started  his  musical  life  working  in  jazz  clubs  around  Melbourne  as  a  teenager,  playing  till 1am  and  then  donning  his  school  uniform  early  the  next  morning.  This  quickly  blossomed into  a  professional  career  that  has  spanned  decades  and  continents,  as  one  of  the  most  indemand  double  bass  players  on  the  scene. Throughout  his  teenage  years  Philip  was also  experimenting  with  synthesizers  and drum  machines,  and  this  eventually  led to  the  formation  of  Decoy,  which  sparked off  a  musical  collaboration  with  Ian Chaplin  that  would  last  for  20  years. Together  they  have  played  at  most  major outdoor  festivals  in  Australia  and  many across  Europe,  including  Vuuv,  Glade, Wonderland,  Rainbow  Serpent, Earthcore,  Eclipse  and  Maitreya,  and released  albums  and  tracks  on  a  host  of labels  throughout  the  world. Tonelab  draws  on  the  experience  of  this long  musical  journey.  Combining  techno and  house  music  with  an  unmistakable hint  of  outdoor  psychedelia,  Tonelab's all-original  tunes  display  a  passion  for  old  analogue  combined  with  modern  digital instruments,  and  revel  in  a  love  of  experimentation,  improvisation,  beautiful  harmonic flavours  and  melodic  textures,  all  underpinned  by  grooves  that  have  clearly  evolved  from the  soul  of  a  bass  player! Tonelab’s  debut  EP  was  released  on  Open  Records  in  February  2016,  and  generated  very enthusiastic  support  from  the  likes  of  Kolsch,  Cid  Inc,  Oliver  Schories,  Kassey  Voorn,  Darin Epsilon,  Sebastian  Markiewicz  and  dozens  more.  It  climbed  to  no.5  on  the  Beatport Progressive  House  release  chart,  and  to  no.11  on  the  Techno  release  chart. Since  then  Tonelab  has  had  releases  on  Traum  Schallplatten,  Evil  Flow  (Phobos  Records), Clubsonica  Records,  Wulpack,  Shadow  Wulf  Records  and  Electric  Power  Pole  Records,  and has  been  playing  live  at  local  parties  with  Doesn’t  Matter,  Techno  Time,  and BIG:RED:BUS crews. 2021  has  seen  Tonelab  release  2  new  EPs  on  Open  Records  and  Wulfpack,  featuring  remixes by  Out  of  Sorts,  Jay  Tripwire,  Thankyou  City,  Timmus,  Jesse  Kuch,  and  Boy  with  Boat. “Archangel”,  his  release  on  Open  Records,  has  charted  well  on  Beatport  and  Proton  Radio.

Interview with Flørist: www.melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/florist/

"I just pressed record and tried not to think because I always over think things. Speaking of aliases there’s a Chiapet track in there that I really enjoy. All the records are quite easy to find. Look out for that Bossa Nova track on Moontown!"

Composed for 'Ears have Ears' on FBi Radio Sydney. Melbourne drummer Maria Moles exclusive piece focuses on the use of interweaving sustained drones/melodies with scattered rhythms, creating a dense sound world of ambience for the listener. 

Maria Moles has performed extensively as part of a band and solo, supporting such acts as The Internet, Methyl Ethel, Polica, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard, Jaala and Hiatus Kiayote as well as performing at such festivals as Women’s Jazz Festival, Falls Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Tilde New Music Festival, Sugar Mountain Festival, Mona Foma and Dark Mofo. Beyond this she's also collabarated with the likes of Marcus Mckenzie's Hyperspirit, Hobart Improvisers Collective, MIUC Big Band, Lucas Abela, Francis Plagne and the Josh Kelly Trio. 

Maria's solo project 'Mondo Flockard' explores the use of layering sounds/rhythms played on either drum kit/percussion which are then electronically manipulated through the use of filters and pitch modulators. Her self-titled EP was released in 2016 through Tonelist, and was listed on Avant Music News under Best Albums of the Year 2016. Ian Parsons (PBS Sounds From Beneath the Sound Barrier presenter)  described it as "drumming taken into a new territory, hovering somewhere around sharp-edged electro-acoustics and unsettled ambience".

Looping take of one my favourite classics "Hai Apna Dil To Awaara"


Hai Apna Dil-  vocal looping

Here's a cover of Praise You by Fut Boi Slum
Entirely vocal
In tribute to the recent loop station section in the Grand Beatbox Championships, thought I'd try absolutely no effects (minus the tiniest bit of reverb from the mixer, but I forgot about that)
All live
All sexy
All competent
All intelligent
All llama al
A mall llama
Mama ooooooooh llama just killed a man

Quality over quantity is the motto of this week's SoundCast artist. 

**Tom Baker**

Being one of the hidden gems in the vibrant city of Melbourne, Tom has gradually earnt his stripes in the local scene through his masterfully detailed productions that leave our senses in a state of bliss.

Tom's style weaves through progressive melodic soundscapes and punchy, minimal chuggers. This dude has really been levelling up over the last 12 months, which has brought about him creating a style of techno very unique to Tom Baker.

SoundCast #13 - Tom Baker (AUS) "Higher Consciousness"

Devotion to the art of creating music along with an undeniable presence of synchronicity has brought this mix to you.
I had only just discovered Flow Sessions and was just a couple of weeks deep into exploring the collection of mixes, when I was invited to put together my own Flow Session recording. I was genuinely taken by surprise. Was this a sign? Not sure, however, I was humbled to be asked to contribute to this curation of world class music.
Releasing this 3 hour and 33 minute long mix, on the 3rd day, of the 3rd month of the year, at 33 years of age seems again, mystically fitting and I am thankful for the alignment. Though it has been a busy year in the studio, this is the first music that I have shared publicly in over a year, and i feel a great sense of relief to finally let go and allow it to be heard by an audience other than my cat. :)
This set features all original tracks, made with love, and woven together in hope of portraying what I feel is the essence of the past year. For many of us 2020 was a time of both fear and uncertainty, hope and re-discovery; surrendering to change through darker times, and finally moving forward into the light. The idea was to capture a reflection of a personal journey through our recent past and into the brighter present. 
Thank you again to Flow Sessions and all those who contribute to help support artists during this time. It has truly been both a pleasure and a ride to create this set for you all. I wish you all love and good times ahead. May we all dance together soon!
