Question Question, formed in 2012, are a 3-piece live electronic act consisting of solo artists M-Thirteen, Let’s Be Modern and Joy AndSparkes; combining their many years of composition, production and performance, creating several variations of house and techno in the studio and live by means of live sampling and programming accompanied by live bass and vocals.

The trio has formed to aid their ongoing necessity to express their inner creativity, treating their creations as an audible form of art and social commentary. Question Question is a true crossover of electronic and acoustic music, incorporating the use of a wide variety of synthesizers, programming and drum machines in conjunction with live bass and vocals, and improvising a large part of their live performance.

the dub division (ex No Birds) is the dub-cross-glitch brainchild of Justin McArthur, also known as Let's Be Modern (for his techno act) and is one third of post punk discotheque band Question Question. Justin himself has been performing since the early 90s in various house, techno and acid outfits, during which time he has shared the spotlight with the likes of Jeff Mills, Ben Sims, Derek May, Tobias Schmitt, David Bridie, Steve Bug, Mistress Barbara, Ian Pooley, DJ Misjah, D.A.V.E the Drummer, Speedy J and Chris Liebling.

Originating in 2008 as a home studio project, it wasn't until 2012 that No Birds was brought to the public with the debut EP, Tin Can, released on Pilot Records. Having been well received locally, No Birds has continued to perform throughout Adelaide from the Tin Can EP launch through to 2013, with the recent inclusion in local street press RIP IT UP MAGAZINE's 'Hot Six', a list of Adelaide's most promising emerging artists, reassuring the Justin is on the road to success.

Justin describes No Birds as a true reflection of himself, an effortless and free flowing method of composition inspired by his love of 70s dub, Afrobeat and Electronic Music. The result is a dark, post-apocalyptic soundscape of seemingly endless space - but feelings of hope and aspiration at the same time - perhaps No Birds is actually the sound of new beginnings, where the grief of disaster lingers but the optimism of the future shines through like a solitary flower in a greyscale environment…

Regardless, No Birds is sure to have you captivated both live and on record. Speaking of which, a full length album is currently underway and all going to plan will be available for your aural pleasure in 2013..!!

M-Thirteen Music is an independent imprint and creative studio founded by musician and producer Michael Diakomichalis, serving as a home for his diverse musical projects, spanning electronic, experimental, cinematic and commercial forms, exploring the intersections of electronic production, live instrumentation, and immersive sound design. 

Based in Adelaide, Australia, the label houses multiple distinct projects — M-Thirteen, SOSOSOSOSOSOS, Word and Object, and M13 Library — each representing a different facet of Michael’s creative output.

With a focus on texture, tone, and atmosphere, M-Thirteen Music operates as both a personal studio and a small-scale label, releasing work that bridges the rhythmic, the raw, and the cinematic. Its releases blur the lines between club energy, experimental rock, ambient storytelling, and purpose-written compositions for sync and media — united by a consistent sense of craft and sonic integrity.

At its core, M-Thirteen Music is a space for exploration — a home for sound that sits between rhythm and stillness, structure and abstraction.

Each project under the label is a lens on a different facet of listening: the physical pull of electronic rhythm, the raw texture of live instruments, the slow drift of ambient tone, and the practical artistry of sound made for others to use.

Rather than chasing genre or trend, M-Thirteen Music exists to document a process — the continual act of shaping and reshaping sound until it feels alive.

Every release is part of a larger conversation between technology, emotion, and the simple human urge to make sound/noise that means something.

In the early nineties electronic production started for LBM with the post-punk experiments of AM-OV-MEME with sound collage artist Tyson Vills, which then lead the warehouse acid sounds of MERCURY TRANSMISSIONS. After numerous infamous shows and being banned from some venues; LBM moved on to AMOEBA with co-producer James Carpenter and guest appearances by Justin De Leeuw. AMOEBA played a dominate roll in the live dance and electronic scene in Adelaide bringing their blend of tech house and techno to the Adelaide & Melbourne Clubs. After many years in the Adelaide electronic muzak scene and nominated 5 times for best live act @ SADMA , plus several releases under their belts it has become time for an evolution and splitting of cells. Now he has had a shift towards a focus on just purely techno under the new moniker of “Let’s Be Modern”…
