UPSHOT
|
 | Drawing together a wealth of musical talent, UPSHOT have been playing and evolving as a group over the last three to four years. Live shows across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have honed an assembly of players into an impressive unit.
The exotic live hip hop sound of UPSHOT is a celebration of good music. Music for the head, body and heart. A rich bed of jazz laced tunes - peppered with the dynamic vocal workout of MC's Quro (Reference Point/ Fuglemen) and Brass (Celsius) - are the usual servings from this outfit.
Gaining radio support for their debut EP, released through Melbourne powerhouse Obese Records, UPSHOT have contributed music to the 'ObeseCity' compilation as well as to 'Airheads' (2001 DMA Compilation of The Year). The last two years have been spent recording the band's debut full length album, scheduled to drop in the coming few months. |

SQUIGGLE
|
 | Since y2k I have been backpacking each year through Asia and I spend half my time there DJ'ing and producing with a laptop.
For the last year I have been using a gaming glove (to DJ with).
Sydney is just a base for me, as I regularly spend time travelling in Australia too - Byron region and Melbourne being regular haunts.
Lived 8 years in Melbourne up until y2k. In that time I was secretary of Clan Analogue Melbourne Member of first(?) Australian laptop act DoSE a 3-piece totally-improv techno band Also member of electro-acoustic improv act signal2noise.
During that period I often organised electronica workshops to teach people how to make techno and to also have jams with acoustic musicians at outdoor events (eg Earthcore, Confest). |
