Sounds From The Basement
LØST REFLECTION x JOSHUA HARRY HALL
It’s a rare thing for 3 minds to drift aimlessly in to the void with a table of synths, drum machines, & effect pedals while maintaining cohesion, let alone touch down on other worlds then bring it back to earth. Seems to’ve been the case though when Løst Reflexion & Joshua played an improvised set in memory of Guillaume, their friend and founding member of techno collective Cat House Melbourne, during a 12 hour event raising funds for his family.
ST DYMPHNA
Woah.. when someone walks out of the booth saying it was their second gig, and it was this good, you take notice. This is the notice:
DJ BRIGIDA
Activist/anarchist and DJ powerhouse Deejay Brigida bends the scope of rave through breakbeat, grime, & techno. Luckily she’s just as at home in the club as they are in illegal underground settings, basically blowing up the club last time they were down - here’s the proof:
CTSD [live]
Self described as “music your mum will hate,” CTSD has played live in the basement more than once and always razor sharp, so we’re glad to be able to share with you their hardware talents!
C.FRIM
Busting in to the booth out of the dark with a ski mask & ripping the basement open-air to an unsuspecting audience, C.Frim absolutely overshadowed a stacked lineup for our 5th birthday. Tipped off by the minds behind Overpast, we slotted Frim right in the middle of the night as a left-hook to great effect - think the block-party from a J-Lo clip thrown in to Blade’s blood rave. One to watch.
Λ / Π [live]
The mysterious duo Λ / Π was recently shouted out by Ancient Method, and given praise by aufnahme + wiedergabe’s Philipp Strobel during their last visit to Berlin. Behold their sniper-tight live set with us, a belting industrial journey.
MATT RADOVICH
Matty Radovich is one of the founding members of the Infamous MTC Crew (Melbourne techno collective). MTC have been a corner stone in the Melbourne techno scene and have been running for over 15 years now. Due to the success that MTC has had. Matty has then gone onto support the likes of Aphex Twin, Laurent Garnier, Juan Atkins, Orbital live, Galaxy 2 Galaxy and Timeline (Underground Resistance). This is a recording from our basement on 14.06.2019.
SLAM ROSS 1000
If you’ve ever found yourself in the club at 5:30 am checking train times then copped a hard wall of dark techno, gabber, & bass that’s held you there till the house lights came on – then you already know. If not.. meet Slam Ross 1000, here’s her set with us for Reflex’s 2nd Birthday. It’s the perfect example of finding balance and beauty between abrasion.
U-KHAN
Driving force of party outfit Charades, responsible for bringing some of the most influential electronic artists to our shores, U-Khan has a flexible approach to music. A broad taste palette leads to mixes from ambient through to hard hitting 4/4, this 2.5hr mix is a testament to effortless versatility!
MUSKA
Founder of Let Them Eat Cake, Organic Audio, Bali’s “Hatch”, & Bushtechno - Muska has a ridonculous resume on-stage, behind the scenes, & in the studio. This seamless set from White Noise is the result of 15 years manifesting & pushing forward Australian techno.
