Abstract Mutation: Abstract Mutation is the pseudonym of NZ-born Melbourne-based producer James Grant. His music sits somewhere between Acid House and Techno, and incorporates incessant loops, mechanical hi-hats and fuzzy synths. His most recent release on 1080p – the label of Rose Quartz’ Richard MacFarlane – sounds like a dancier Pye Corner Audio exploring themes of surveillance and digital environments. Taking 21st century introspection and media cycles into the outside world. Recorded & mixed by Andrew McLellan. Recorded at Red Mecca, The Pound, Brisbane. June 20th 2014. Dust Storm Jogger: Chelsea Charlton is one half of the Brisbane electronic duo Brainbeau, but the buck doesn’t stop there. He’s played under a tonne of pseudonyms over the last decade or so: Emotional Hoon, Smorgaslord and Good Samaritron to name just a few. He’s a mysterious figure, who cuts a mean beat with a pair of MPCs. It’s worth noting that more often than not Chelsea will be playing those drum patterns by hand in real-time, no sequencer at all. He’s also an accomplished drummer, in the analog sense. He’s done his time in left-of-centre rock bands. Recorded & mixed by Andrew McLellan. Recorded at Red Mecca, The Pound, Brisbane. June 20th 2014. Airing details: Originally via Zed Digital, 8-9pm, Friday 8 August 2014. Show production and engineering: Josh Watson.
