PEACHii is the creative project of electronic tracks, sounds and soundscapes of Ivan Carter and Lee Rogers. Originally based in Melbourne Australia, and now based in the quartz hills of Daylesford, 100km north west of Melbourne, picture a fusion of low-fi beats, minimal, classic house and ephemeral classical elements.  

Best described by Melbourne club owner Mike Slade as "techno futurism fueled by a passionate love for smooth sounds and eccentric experimentation", PEACHii began in 2001 with small DJ gigs in inner city Melbourne and an eventual venture in music publishing for film, radio and television. 

Lee Rogers, with his classically trained background and father a popular figure in the UK 1980s reggae scene, was the driving force of the group's early tracks. The early tracks featured an eclectic mix of disco funk and classical strings, driving beats and looping basslines, and featured on local radio and in limited house mixes in inner city Melbourne Clubs. 

But it was Ivan Carter who provided the structure, mixing and formulation of the final tracks, working off the genius of Rogers and completing the pieces for studio output. 

Early DJ gigs for Rogers in South Yarra, Melbourne, stormed home his love for electronic music and allowed PEACHii to get some headway into the early 2000s scene in Melbourne. The nights were long and the days of recovery, but the beats were prospering, with a dozen tracks mixed and mastered at a studio in St Georges Rd, Fitzroy.  

However, tired of the club scene and the techno overload, the creative talents of Rogers and Carter ventured into ambient works and film scores. Numerous music publishing houses were contacted with a series of demos tracks, with PEACHii eventually finding some love in Port Melbourne with Manna Publishing. The group featured their first track on a Brisbane Radio commercial, "J Beats", earning them some money and motivation to continue producing high quality pieces in their new studio in Northcote, Melbourne. 

In 2005, the Rogers and Carter were separated, when Rogers returned to the UK under unfortunate circumstances, and PEACHii took a break from production for a few years. Carter continued to make music in various Melbourne acts, featuring on synth in  Brunswick beat box outfit "So Hi Low Fi" and on bass for Fitzroy superband "Ray Tracer". 

Carter moved to Daylesford in 2008, yearning for the hills and fog filled forested majestics, hoping to reignite the ambient beat sounds of PEACHii. It took quiet a few years to convert an existing garage into a studio capable of producing high quality musical outputs, but the dream returned with a fully insulated garden encapsulated  studio completed in 2014. 

With limited live opportunities in regional Victoria, PEACHii now focus on producing low-fi beats and ambient works, suitable for film, games, television and radio. Their most recent project has been providing a range of tracks and pieces for an Australian based video game producer, who is nearing the completion of a fantasy adventure PC based game that will launch in 2016. 

The sounds of PEACHii continue to evolve, with the future looking bright and full of sound. 



Automat started DJing & producing in 1995, starting techno and rave, before heading to an electro stripped with Kraftwerk in line of sight, which draws as much in the original electro, cold techno, acid house or sounds.
