thanks for dropping by the [briz:b:e:a:t:s] internet radio show page. here you will be able to read about guests / featured artists on the show. [briz:b:e:a:t:s] was on-air for over four years, from early 2000 - mid 2004. the aim of the show was to showcase some of Australia's talented electronic music artists and DJs.

originally I broadcast the show from Brisbane, Australia but in mid-2001 I relocated to Sydney so the show then became Sydney based. whilst in Brisbane there were many live performances on the show and it was also broadcast from a few of the warehouse parties / club gigs.

Shame File Music is an Australian label and distributor of experimental, ambient, noise and post rock music with artists including Undecisive God, Scott Sinclair, Lawrence English, Nat Evans, Dr Alien Smith, The Hi-God People and many, many more. The music on the releases ranges from hauntingly beautiful through to harsh eye-squinting sounds, and many of the albums are created as a project or have an underlying theme which the artist is exploring through music. Recorded live performances also are a feature of the label, and if you are after something to read whilst listening, they also offer a selection of zines. This is about as underground as it gets, so those who are open to new and different sounds should enjoy the selection.

Shame File Music specialises in Australian Experimental music and also has a radio program featuring new sound art from around Australia

[ from http://www.thebirdweb.com/bio.html ]

Electronic music has developed rapidly in the last 30 years, for the limitations are few and the possibilities are still being discovered. When live meets the electronic, new realms of dance music emerge.

Over the last 6 years The Bird have established a solid reputation as one of Australia's finest live electronic dance outfits, and in the studio have continued to push musical boundaries. Their 4th official release ' Audible Inventions' out now through Creative Vibes, is the next step in the evolution of this electronic duo. Co-produced with Dave Atkins (Resin Dogs), and featuring many guest performances from their Collective, The Bird have taken live studio recordings, re worked them on their home computers and spent time in northern NSW producing and mixing them to come up with a fine mix of hip hop beats, some drum'n'bass treats, asian flavas and some deep, deep dub grooves

The Bird are Simon Durrington (keyboards) & Ben Walsh (drums) who are joined by a Collective of some of this country's finest artists, including Indian Tabla player Bobby Singh (Dha, Gondwanaland), double bass player Barry Hill (Amphibian) & turntablist Dave Atkins (Resin Dogs). As musicians, The Bird have sought an organic interpretation of computer-generated forms of music, combing live drum'n'bass breakbeats and electro synth lines, with sounds from the Asian Underground, and some serious dub vibes. The Bird's music is a journey through these numerous influences and stylistics, executed in a funkafied soulful electronica sound that is their trademark style.

The Bird have toured the country and overseas extensively, playing at many venues and festivals including Glastonbury Festival, Livid Festival, Falls Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Woodford Festival, Two Tribes, the Opera House Studios, Home Nightclub, and Earthcore to name a few.

'Audible Inventions' is in shops now. Also in stores is The Bird's debut album 'The Sound Of No Sound' and the mini LP 'Music for Reset People'.

Combat Wombat's bio - from the elefant traks - Combat Wombat media kit :

COMBAT WOMBAT
UNSOUND $YSTEM

Introducing the second album from Combat Wombat: Unsound $ystem an album
set to drop a political bomb on these conservative times. Armed with only
samplers, mics and turntables, powered by solar energy and an uncompromising
belief in 'truth' over 'spin', these desert nomads are the real deal, creating an
album that reflects the frontline activism they have become famous for.

Unsound $ystem is a bullet to the dark heart of the Australian psyche.

Sonically rugged and funky, Monkeymarc’s beats draw their influence from '70s
reggae, Public Enemy's Bomb Squad and the golden era hiphop of the early
1990s. The album moves from A-grade head thunkin' hiphop to seriously heavy
dub reggae, all laced with relevant and politically charged vocals and samples,
with ARIA award winning DJ Wasabi providing cuts.

MC Elf Tranzporter (ex Metabass 'n Breath) flows marvelously throughout the
album, rhyming with the gift of enviable flexibility. MC Izzy's approach is the
perfect contrast: her stand and deliver take-no-prisoners approach, injects
high-spirited passion into the mix. Together they add a potent combination of
hiphop, ragga and punk political flows.

Unsound $ystem delves into issues of national identity, the government's treatment
of refugees, Indigenous sovereignty, US military force and uranium mining
with a sense of urgency that is balanced by Combat Wombat's ability to turn
words into action. They’ve brought in some high profile friends including
Ozi Batla (The Herd) and Seed MC (TZU) for the ride.

At Combat Wombat's core is the Lab Rats Solar Sound System, which was
formed at the Jabiluka uranium mine protests in 1998. Monkeymarc and MC Izzy
are Australian pioneers utilising vegetable oil conversions for diesel engines
(which will also fuel their upcoming national tour). Their fully equipped mobile
studio runs off the solar panels on the van's roof, and Unsound $ystem was
written and recorded using this same eco-friendly energy.

Unsound $ystem is a step forward for Combat Wombat, mixed and mastered at
the ever impressive Containers Studio in Melbourne. The end result is a beautifully
packaged rich sounding CD made of completely recyclable material, and for the
vinyl lovers, a double LP available shortly after CD release.
