Eastern Distributor

Bizarro | Eko-System | Inner Theft | Pure Space

https://soundcloud.com/eastern-distributor

Eastern Distributor is the stage name for multi-faceted Naarm based artist Daniel Jakobsson.

Performing in disused, repurposed, and reimagined spaces across so called “Australia” the Warrang/Sydney born weaves through textural ambience, atmospheric percussive techno & contemporary experimental bass music seamlessly, drawing their inspiration from their indigenous Peruvian & Swedish ethnicity along with field recordings from previous travels.

Since its inception, "Eastern Distributor" has been about offering a perspective of the potential of bass music; offering a unique sound that transcends conventional genres boundaries. Fusing textural ambience with minimal, polyrhythmic percussion and dnb, creates an immersive sonic environment for the listener.

Having recently also waded to the darker side of the swamp, Eastern Distributor’s newly established ‘Jörmungandr’ alias explores the ever-evolving experimental and fast paced iterations of psytek, tekno, IDM & ambient. The expression of this sound is characterized by its faster, intricate soundscapes, and use of unconventional textures and samples; pushing the project even further. Simultaneously sharp and deliciously radiant, Daniel is gaining increasing attention from international favourites such as Amniote Editions, Ute.rec & Mala Junta; joining acclaimed producers the likes of Roza Terenzi, Spekki Webbu, Peach Lyfe, & Hadone on various compilations.

Whompus

https://linktr.ee/whompuswubs

Whompus. Creator of weird imagery. Mixer of strange sounds.

Whompus is known in the Australian underground electronic music scene for pushing sonic boundaries and conjuring immersive auditory landscapes. Drawing inspiration from his appreciation for diverse musical genres, Whompus creates soundscapes with intricate layering of melodic chords partnered with deep wobbly bass lines, often dissonant but somehow drawing to the ear.

Nearly always incapable of staying in one lane, Whompus crafts a musical journey that traverses a spectrum of emotions and experiences, from trance-like wonder to the murky depths of dark, swampy sounds, filled with elements of chaos, anxiety, fear, and joy, skillfully woven together in a harmonious cacophony. With an ear for crafting soundscapes that fuse various genres, challenging conventions, and blurring the boundaries between dance and introspection.

Over the past few years, he has been steadily carving out a niche for himself within the underground music community. His performances at warehouse events, fundraisers, and intimate festivals have garnered him a devoted following.

Whompus graced the stages of notable underground parties such as NSW's Basscamp, Origins of Entropy, Dekonstucted Dance, Subsonic Music Festival, Resurrect, Ipso Facto and VIC's Sub Terra and Esoteric Festival. He has also played support for international jungle and drum and bass legend, Dillinja and more recently a chance to support KOAN Sound, in Eora (Sydney, AU).
A pivotal member of Newy Bass Crew, Whompus is a regular performer at local venues in Mulubinba (Newcastle, AU).

Whompus has also been involved with events hosted by Eora's Cabin Fever Crew, including the Bass Ship MND Fund-Raiser and the Airwaves warehouse party.
His unique sounds have graced the airwaves of Eora's Orbital Radio and have become a staple at the Hunter region's Fire & Flow jams, further establishing his artistic resonance within the community.

Vixxie

www.vixxie.com.au

Long time house and techno fan, Vixxie has been cutting shapes with the sounds she crafts since the lock-downs began, in early 2020. Hailing from near Boston, USA, Vixxie grew up surrounded by music from birth, as the daughter of an electrical engineer who's university teacher was Mr. Bose, and an opera singer mother. When she arrived in England in the early '90's, she discovered House music, and something changed in her. Vixxie knew that one day she would be behind the decks. It took over 20 years from that moment to become realised, many mix-tapes (and a family) made in the in-between. From the moment she learned the basics, it has been difficult for Vixxie to put the machine down. Her favourite genres are Progressive House, Deep House, Melodic Techno, Deep-Tech and Peak-time Techno. She has a YouTube channel, “Vix in the Sticks”, where she showcases beautiful deep house grooves against the beautiful backdrop of her front yard in rural NSW.

Vixxie has spun tunes at a variety of venues since her D.J. adventures began. In her local town of Mudgee, NSW, she has played regularly at a local brewery, Three tails Brewery and Smokehouse, where she spins deep groovy lounge sets for over three hours at a time. That set the stage for her launch into Sydney, where she has opened for WeLove, Sutra, and Allfriends, and played later sets at Soundwaves Halloween boat party, Zenith Launch Party, and several Burning Seed spin-off events where she has also played over three hour sets.

Vixxie takes her listeners on a journey of the soul through the medium of sound and rhythm, and would love to help craft the soundscape of your next party. You can reach her in all the usual ways, all easily accessible through her website, www.vixxie.com.au
