See you all tomorrow.

For tomorrows gig we have created a compilation of all the artists playing live for 150% LIVE [ hardware only ] free event @ Rubix.

The party is FREE.

This album is a way for us to give something back to thank you for your support and attendance to the event.

If you unable to attend, feel free to buy the album in support of live electronic music artists.

There is a lot more that goes on behind the scenes in a live electronic music gig. A LOT! So much cable and sound management, lugging of gear, setting up and packing down three times (studio/gig/studio), engineering technical support and organisation, and not to forget the blood, sweat and tears that makes up being a live electronic producer.

Party on peeps.

ANNOUNCEMENT — EVENT MANAGEMENT 🔋🎛️

We're so excited to introduce you to Adrian who has recently joined our '150% live' hardware events in event management. We could not do these events without his passion, dedication, knowledge & kindness. Age goes above & beyond behind the scenes & on the day. We're incredibly grateful for his time.

Adrian (Mr. Rachele) is a prominent member of the modular synth community, having founded Modular Theme Time Sessions in 2019, MTT has become an integral part of the modular synth community, in Melbourne, in all of Australia & New Zealand.

Now hosting a new radio show on area3000 aptly named Hardware Road where he interviews live electronic performers & producers, he brings Naarm's hardware artists out from the studios & into the spotlight.

Mr. Rachele found techno in 1998 & dove head first into hardware production & studied audio engineering. After a long hiatus due to a massive curve ball, he returned to the hardware life in 2015 & collected the hardware he always dreamt of.

Welcome, Age!

Little jam in the studio as I prep for 150% LIVE [ hardware only ] free event @ Rubix.

Massive thanks to Guy Wolfe Page Taylor for his repair of the SY-1. I owe you a bottle of red.

As you can see in the video I love the SY-1 to bits. A little too much and I get carried away with it. Hey, if I am not having fun, why bother!

Image one is me playing 23 years ago at Ace Morning (now my aeon ).
Image two is Beck and I chilling after my set back then.
Image three is me playing at My Aeon after twenty three years.
Considering I quit in 2004 and started up again in 2016 it's pretty amazing. Never thought it would happen again.

Thanks again to and .xyz for having me play last year at Infinity Jukebox.

Thanks to my bro for having me play back in the day.

Thanks to Caity Watson for the inspiration of this post.

Party on peeps.

I like to launch an album a year.
It was ready last year but I was waiting on replies from labels.
No more waiting.
My new album is out, only on Bandcamp for now.
Streaming services can wait.
Looking for the best new distro service that includes Beatport. It's time to get onto the platform.

This is a show about the path less taken.
A show about a rocky path.
A path of patience and persistence in equal measure.
What you ultimately find, down this path, is passion.
A passion for live electronic music.
Welcome to Hardware Road.

The new radio show on Naarms own .radio
hosted by himself a live electronic performer and production artist.

We plan to have a guest live in the studio for every show. There will be an interview, music and a live performance.

First show will be the 4th of March at 8pm.

Our first guest will be announced shortly.

Instagram page will have all the updates.

It's been too long between Marty photos.
He just came back in from his walk and was spooked by something in the wind, so he took up position on the red cushion in front of Dad for comfort. He is a little stunner.

Images of our nine live acts and our event organiser Caity. Sorry to our visual masters on the day. 10 images is the limit. You guys did a wonderful job.
It was a special day in the 34 degree heat and I think I sweated a bucket.
Special thanks to for engineering on the day. We would not have been able to pull this one off without you.
Massive thanks to for taking a risk and putting on nine live acts. Not sure when the last time I saw nine live acts on the one bill was, and considering it was my first time helping to organise, it went rather well. Lots of happy faces and dancing bodies. And thanks for giving me the best compliment of the night. It is after all my aim to make music that will bring people onto the dancefloor.

Hats off to everyone playing on the day.

Fee to download and listen on Bandcamp and also available on all the streaming services.
