Initially conceived as the producer/MC duo of Nikolai (formerly of UK ska punkas King Prawn) and Eff le Ref LSB immediately set their stall out with the aim of confounding expectations and moving away from the traditional hip hop formulas being peddled around the scene. They sought to distance themselves from what was going on around them and bring to bear their diverse collective influences.  A love of reggae, dub and old skool ska are all evident in the band's sound, from the Jerry Dammers-esque keyboards of 'Rebels of the Frontline' to the shuffling, laid back beats of 'The Deep End' LSB skilfully navigate three or four decades of musical heritage, wrapping it up into one delicious, bombastic, package.

Not content with being a mere studio project, Left Step's ranks quickly expanded to encompass a full live line-up. Meeting through that most modern of mediums, the internet, Nikolai and Eff le Ref were put in touch with Zac who seamlessly slotted in to their ranks. These three developed a chemistry which would become the bedrock of the LSB sound but quickly realised that a final magical ingredient was missing. Having toyed with the idea of introducing a guitarist to their ranks, LSB eventually decided, as they always do, to do things their own way. The final piece to be added to this diverse puzzle was Sensei FMs' DJ Dizar.

The quartet bonded immediately over a diverse sound and a penchant for bringing the everyday to life with big hooks and a killer melody.  Over long days and strenuous nights the band sweated and toiled, shaping themselves into the raucous unit they are today. Never short on song craft, they rapidly generated a group of songs which befit their name, left-field, out of step but at all times danceable and with an instinctive eye for a groove and a chorus. 

As a live proposition LSB are something else altogether. MC'ing meets singing and swaggering beats meet soulful hooks - all imbued with a sense of timeless storytelling and adept lyrical narrative. It is this musical diversity and originality which has seen the band share bills with both urban acts and with friends from the indie fraternity. Moreover, gigs with the likes of Finlay Quaye have proved that they can mix it with the best, on stages large or small, to crowds old or young and with an easy appeal which runs through every note of the music they produce. 

Beyond anything else, Left Step Band is about good time music for good time people, rich with pop nous yet never forgetful of its roots.  There is a real sense that the quartet are bringing back something that has long been missing from the scene, namely a genuine sense of fun and musical abandon with no constraints and no rules.  'It’s really just about having fun, and seeing people enjoy themselves' says Nikolai... 

And right now LSB are having an absolute blast. 


Mulga's Magical Musical Creatures is a radical children's book written and illustrated by Mulga. Released in September 2016 it tells the story of Mulga going to sleep at night and dreaming about funky animals playing sweet tunes, he then wakes up and is inspired to write a song.

This Soundcloud account features songs written by various artists who have collaborated with Mulga in turning his book into music form. If you would like to be involved email mulga at mulga@mulgatheartist.com.au.

A review of the book by Suzanne Garcia, a bookseller and buyer at Mary Martin Bookshop Sydney

A creative mogul in the making, Sydney-based mural artist and poet Joel Moore has made his Mulga alias a brand name with a clothing label and illustration work for companies such as Mambo and Microsoft. Tying all these ventures together is a signature style—quirky characters, vibrant colours and patterned textures—that is as striking on the page as it is on a wall or a t-shirt. A picture book seems to be the natural next step, after the success of last year’s Mulga’s Magical Colouring Book, which appealed to both adults and children with its bold mix of line-drawn animal characters and hip attitude. Bright, fun and full of intricate details, Mulga’s Magical Musical Creatures offers a curious, colourful world to explore. With a rhyming poem to pull you in, and an assortment of cool animals playing instruments to meet, it is a journey into the wild imagination. From saxophone-playing crocs to lions in pink socks, there is a bit of dreamlike wonder in this book for everyone. It is recommended for readers aged four and up.



Clearing space, getting rid of clutter, and optimizing the flow of energies: These are the principles of Feng Shui, but it’s also a very precise description of the sound of Hatikwa. The producer from North Germany gained popularity for his minimalist approach towards Progressive Trance, an approach that might take different directions but that always proves to have compelling hypnotic powers.

Hatikwa is one of those artists who reached a career breakthrough via Social Media. It is 2009 when he plays his debut live act at Hamburg’s Lonely Forest Project, and this experience is such a rich source of inspiration that he creates a track and names it after that party. Once uploaded on YouTube, "Lonely Forest" spreads rapidly and within no time the name Hatikwa is on the lips and on the Facebook profiles of Progressive Trance fans all over the world. Working with the netlabel Multiplex Records at the time multiplies the viral distribution of his music. After releasing some single tracks and digital EPs he drops his debut album "Point of View" on Magical Sounds Records in 2013, a step that puts him even higher on the agenda – especially in the Progressive Trance hotspots Denmark, Germany and Switzerland where Hatikwa has a solid fanbase. 

In 2015, Hatikwa decided to stand on his own two feet completely - Xonica Records was born. Xonica Records was launched to open a dimension of sound that can't be achieved by any piece of studio equipment: Creative Freedom! Xonica Records is an autonomous platform for Hatikwa, a portal that enables him to keep up his truly eclectic and independent approach towards modern Trance music. In 2017, he created his second album "The Second Narration" and released it on his own label Xonica Records - a true milestone for him and his career. 

When it comes to production Hatikwa is extremely detail oriented. Sometimes it takes him months to finish a track because he’s just not quite satisfied with a single element. Like the music itself, this approach represents his signature style: Less is more, and quality surpasses quantity. Hatikwa knows exactly that a single sound can trigger the most profound emotions if it’s only in perfect tune, and if it only has enough space to unfold its unique vibration. Just like a spatial environment that has been designed in accordance with the priciples of Feng Shui, his sound creates an intense feeling of flowing harmony and effortless power – a highly energizing listening experience that can best be described as deeply psychedelic.

  Jacob Goadream caught the electronic music bug back in the early 90s, immersing himself in the first warehouse parties in Houston, Texas. As his love for electronic music grew, he was introduced to the enchanting world of psy-trance through the Universal Mind Productions gatherings, via Robin Triskele. It was a transformative experience that set him on a new path. 

  Upon relocating to the Carolinas, Jacob delved deeper into the psy-trance scene and discovered the T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi Collective. Their magical gatherings at Deerfields left an indelible mark to say the least.  These days, now resident DJ on the T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi roster, Goadream is known for seamless, delicate mixing and his innate ability to match the vibe of any situation. Above all, his unwavering love and dedication to nurturing the flame of psychedelic trance dance culture keep him on the move, playing along side some of the biggest names in the scene.

Samadhi is said to be a fourth kind of consciousness: 

It is beyond the states of waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. Those who have witnessed it as an external phenomenon report that the experience appeared to have fallen into a kind of trance. The hair on the head and body stood erect. The half-closed eyes became fixed. Sometimes there was an astonishing loss of weight, or even levitation of the body from the ground. But these are mere symptoms, and tell us nothing. There is only one way to find out what samadhi is like:
 
You must have it yourself…
