Posted in Drum'N'Bass, Interviews on March 31st, 2008 by facter

 

Amongst the drift and tide of the musical realm, it is a rarity for an electronic music group to have mass market appeal, and yet several years ago, three guys from Perth embarked upon a journey that would take them not only to the top of the drum and bass charts, but also into the living rooms of anyone with an interest in cutting edge music. No stranger to fans since breaking out with their seminal album, Hold Your Colour, Pendulum are now poised on the verge of being one of the few bands who have been able to escape their niche, as their upcoming new album, In Silico, is sure to prove.

Interview – Bionics

Posted in Electronic & Dance, Interviews on March 25th, 2008 by facter

 

After their rousing performance here in Perth a few weeks back, Crazy Penis have certainly made their mark amongst their fans over the years. Yet emerging from the CP story are the murmurings of a new sound, as more and more people become aware of the Bionics side project that members Danielle Moore and Tim Davies have joined in recent times.

 

“Ben Davis is the founder of the group,” explains Danielle, talking about the project. “Myself and Tim joined him. He produced and came up with the majority of ideas for the Bionics, which helps differentiate the sound from CP. We are all very close friends and Ben used to be one of the team that ran Paper Recordings, who CP were first signed to.”

It was another Easter weekend of mayhem, and it was great to see everyone down at Rollers Easter special, and even better to see d’n’b on a Thursday night again – the after parties at both Capitol and Mekka were amazing as well. With a weekend followed by the nuts-oid shenanigans of Craze dropping some d’n’b at Ambar amongst his other tunes, and Bukem and Conrads performance at Shape, well, if anyone had a doubt as to the state of play for d’n’b in Perth over and Easter weekend, then this one just gone should put to rest any rumours of us being dullsville.

Review – Future Music Festival – Perth 2008

Posted in Event review on March 4th, 2008 by facter

Absconding from a nearby East Perth residence, we arrived just in time to see Elite Force in full flight. Simply amazing. His mixes were perfect, his selection was second to none and the energy he displayed behind the decks was commendable. It’s always great to see someone playing who is enjoying themselves as much as the crowd, and as the first set of the day, it was a remarkable introduction to the festival – yet it was, upon reflection, the best set of the entire festival.
