Diffraction is a Melbourne-based progressive psytrance artist. Since his debut in early 2014, Diffraction has become one of the foremost acts in Australia. His resume includes festivals and doof's such as Indian Spirit, Esoteric, Ergot Gathering, Tanglewood, Babylon, Earthcore, and many others where thousands of individuals have experienced the liberation of his soul-freeing sets

Deeply embedded in his DNA is the signature earthy yet extraterrestrial sound for which he is known and loved. Having grown up in the wild bushlands of Victoria he was inspired by the sublime beauty of the world around him, and the vastness of the world above. You can feel it when he gets behind the decks and sends you to outer space, guiding you through an atmosphere where you forget he’s even there, before the drop grips you and pulls you back down to earth

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin' Loud…

Initially a simple bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, within three months of the first 45 release (Galliano’s Frederic Lies Still), the label had grown rapidly, acquired premises in London’s east end and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds – jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance. Galliano, Chris Bangs, The Night Trains, The Last Poets, A Man Called Adam and Snowboy & The Latin Section were amongst the first wave of label signings and they all appeared live at groundbreaking jazz themed nights at London clubs like the WAG in Soho and Camden’s legendary Dingwalls.





By ’89, Peterson had left the label to establish his own Talking Loud imprint and Piller soon moved the operation to Denmark Street, London’s original Tin Pan Alley, into the former EMI music office. The next wave of signings included D Influence, Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies. Chart success quickly followed as the label spread its numerous tentacles around the world. The sound of the label became the name of choice for the scene that had established in its wake and by the early ’90s, Acid Jazz was booming out of a succession of speakers from Sweden to Singapore, Hamburg to Hobart, Shibuya to Sheffield and everywhere in between. International tours followed as the label expanded through the 90′s, gradually increasing their musical influences to include daisy-age hip hop, garage psyche and trip hop.





By the mid-90′s Acid Jazz had revived the careers of legends like Terry Callier, Brian Auger and Gregory Isaacs, established three subsidiaries (Focus, All Seeing Eye and Roots to cater for progressive indie, drum and bass and roots and culture respectively) and signed yet another wave of successful independent artists which included the likes of Corduroy, Mother Earth, The Humble Souls, Goldbug and a dozen more.





In 1994, the label took the plunge and opened the first ‘non-house’ based night club in London. Based on the site of the Bass Clef, a down-at-heel and eventually semi-derelict jazz club in Hoxton – perched precariously amidst the second world war bomb sites, derelict buildings and culture-free zone, the club was credited with paving the way for the whole Hoxton/Shoreditch explosion of the late nineties. Indeed, the club was rarely less than full seven nights a week hosting events from the likes of Goldie’s Metalheads, Talvin Singh, Coldcut, Ab-ashanti, Athletico and the label’s own Magic Bus. The Blue Note closed its doors at the end of the decade and Acid Jazz went back to what they do best: releasing records.

Jumping forward to 2014 and we find the label firmly ensconced in their office at the top of Brick Lane and after celebrating their 25th Anniversary the label is as vibrant and vital as ever. The current roster includes the critically acclaimed, prog folk fusions of Matt Berry, new indie hopefuls Dexters, the soul meet the Streets stylings of New Street Adventure and ex Bluetones lead singer Mark Morriss, whilst the highly acclaimed Rare Mod series has discovered and released previously unknown works by everyone from The Riot Squad featuring David Bowie to the Small Faces Steve Marriott.

In short after over a quarter of a century Acid Jazz remains one of the UK’s most important independent labels.

In 2008 I started to use FL studio to write music, it started off as drum beats, then i started adding in the synths, vocals and other sounds, but it wasn't 'till a few years later when I started going out to these Psytrance events and hearing some of the proper tunes that so many people local and beyond were creating that i was inspired to take up a similar style in music, and from there I started to learn how to drive a track with its ups n downs, n upside-downs... 

In 2012 the Psytrance project "Torusphere" was started focusing on creating psychedelic sound scapes and intricate rhythms with rolling bass lines, mystical sounding melodies and inspiring vocals to take you on a journey to a place of love in your heart and higher awareness in your minds.

All of my music is made with Love and i hope you feel it! :)
