The second showcase is of Anomalie Collective resident, https://soundcloud.com/falsamemo-1:Marco, aka Falsa Memoriae is an Italian born, Melbourne based Techno DJ. Beginning his techno journey in a jungle rave in Laos, Marco’s passion for the electronic beats expanded thanks to the rich Victorian scene. The landscape of his sets range from deep hypnotic rhythms inherited from the long weekends in the bush of the Australian doof scene to a more European dark industrial style techno.Support them here:https://soundcloud.com/falsamemo-1https://www.facebook.com/falsamemoriaehttps://soundcloud.com/anomalie-collectivehttps://www.facebook.com/anomalie.collective
We are proud to announce we have teamed up with https://soundcloud.com/anomalie-collective to showcase some of the talent in Melbourne/Naarm's deep techno scene. The first showcase is of Anomalie Collective resident, https://soundcloud.com/ishanja:With her adoration of connecting human beings to themselves deeply through the ever evolving nature of the raw, rebellious and inquisitive sounds of life, Ish Anja creates a journey that is explorative and hits the sweet spot. A variety of frequencies ranging within ambient and transforming into deeper, raw techno conveys an experience where others can learn to dance with both the dark and the light of life. She hopes it will leave people experiencing the everyday journey with more of an open heart and a playful mind, as they let the healing nature of electronic sound do what needs to be done.Ish Anja like to carry sounds within her mixes that give others a feeling of familiarity, where they have been to that specific place or to a place unknown. Ish Anja has loved sharing sounds with others since she was younger, and is now continuing to do so around Melbourne as she shapes her sound into who she truly is and what she wants to bring to others in her sounds and in the music community - depth, curiosity, unity, exploration, and a euphoric, familiar feeling that is sometimes hard for all of us to explain.As she has now been making her mark around Melbourne as well as recently becoming a resident DJ of both Anomalie Collective and Rewired Rhythms, Ish Anja hopes to create an experience influenced by sound, art and mystery that she feels is still unknown to those in Melbourne. She also will be releasing a few of her own stuff in later 2022 which is amongst the spectrum of deeper raw techno and ethereal electronic. Alongside her music, she is also passionate about humanitarian (animals, nature, our freedom) causes that are close to her and hopes that the way she speaks through her writing, music and art can cultivate an initial rebellious spark for everybody to want to create change in unison.Support them here:https://soundcloud.com/ishanjahttps://www.facebook.com/ishaanjamusic@anomalie-collectivewww.facebook.com/anomalie.collective

After some plausible backstory the 88756 program was born - the first computer algorithm to be truly indistinguishable from man. Designed to explore concepts such as individuality and what it means to be human, it quickly adopted a creative pursuit in techno. 2019 saw the release of a slur of EPs and a full length studio album, while some of it's more pleasing creations made their way to Otomotrax (Netherlands) and Insane Industry (Italy). The program's sound consists of overly complex, evolving synthesis and the liberal butchering of drum machine samples - described by one individual as "the soundtrack to a futuristic pacman but like it's also a 3D shooter".
2020 and 2021 saw it's foray into the faster side of industrial noise again via Otomo (Obscuur) and Hungarian imprint RÉV.zrt, with additional releases on Conection Verified (Melbourne) and Soma sub label AVOIDANT. A more hypnotic sound seems to be emerging in 2022, with a love for 3-deck mixing bleeding over into the sound and finding a home with Perth based label GRIT. You may have been lucky enough to catch them tearing up the stage with a hi energy, triple deck mix last year as part of our Goodwill Club residency and we are very pleased to have them back once again as support for Stef Mendesidis on the 11th June.
GRIT003- Human Construct is released on 6th June and features 4 original tracks and 1 remix by Connection Verified's ADMINISTRATOR (also supporting Stef Mendesidis on June 11). It also features AI generated visuals to accompany the sounds if you get the release thru Bandcamp. Tracklist 01) Pointy Dub 02) Tripping Over Your Own Feet 03) Tripping Over Your Own Feet (ADMINISTRATOR's Airtrip Remix) 04) Human Construct 05) Blunt Force Trauma

CR0NES is a Perth based experimental soundscapist and animator, obsessed with digital spirituality, arted anonymity and the online immortality of ephemeral, disposable culture. Building soundscapes of harsh noise, sweet melodic loops and sometimes prayerful, oftentimes frenetic effected spoken-word, CR0NES builds enigmatic live performances entirely on the fly, bodily expressing a value or concept to a captured, confronted and controlled audience.
One gentle, melodic piece, accompanying a hand animated video clip, centred on audience members unknowingly repeating the last words of Brian Wells, the "pizza bombing" victim. Another live spoken word piece focused on the fascistic erasure of the arts from the government portfolio, combining grand melody interrupted by punitive nudity and censoric static screeching. All CR0NES works are timely, improvised, emotive and viscerally experienced.
CR0NES relishes the idea of durational work, where audience is invited into shared space to participate for as long or as little time as they wish, that frustrations may be expressed, trances may be entered and catharsis achieved.
This is a live recording by CR0NES, performed as part of a residency at Paper Mountain. You can follow CR0NES on the following links: https://www.instagram.com/cr0nes/

Tom Loss is a musician from Perth, Western Australia. Having released music under the name Oes since 2011, and under his own name since 2020, Loss works at the edges of electronic music; his style is marked by a marriage of bristling house, lush downtempo, spacious ambient and thunderous shoegaze. Loss explores texture, negative space, and dynamics, patiently pushing his sprawling compositions from tender lulls to towering, visceral squalls. https://tomloss.bandcamp.com/ https://oestunes.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/oes-tunes Tom also makes quality memes.
