TEA Presents Lucy Australia Tour

After a successful Australian tour with Xhin (Stroboscopic Artefacts/CLR) TEA is proud to present the Australian debut of producer, DJ, published author and founder of the Stroboscopic Artefacts imprint, Lucy.

After wooing audiences with celebrated DJ sets and Stroboscopic Artefacts showcases at Berghain, Corscia Studios, Sonar and Melt! Festival, September of this year will see Lucy aka Luca Mortellaro tour Australia for the first time. His style of DJing has rapidly become known for its use of deeply dubbed textures layered betwixt lucid IDM expressionism and techno functionalism - a style too elusive and angular for any one genre.

Associated with a certain kind of techno—loud, visceral and exactingly scientific, Lucy is never one to shy away from the peak time, although equally in his element playing the ecstatic after hours. Lucy manages to refuse the obvious and satisfy dancefloors’ appetites for the unexpected.

In 2009 Lucy established the pioneering Stroboscopic Artefacts imprint which has since garnered international attention and emerged as one of the most exciting and forward thinking labels in electronic music. Stroboscopic Artefacts’ ‘compressed dub’ approach towards production and mastering has instantly lauded any SA release as “buy on sight” due to the introspective, extreme and experimental way in which its artists approach their music.

Xhin - Melbourne Deepcast

In preparation of an March Australian tour supported by TEA, Xhin has compiled an eclectic mix of techno, dub, breakbeat and electronica for Melbourne's revered Deepcast series.

The Melbourne Deepcast is a shining light amongst a superfluous network of podcasters on todays interwebs. The Melbourne Deepcast is not only bolstering Melbounre''s electronic music scene but that of Australia's with listeners in subscribing from all over the country and the world.

A long list of previous international podcasters include Quarion, John Daly, Rene Breitbarth, Dubbyman, Eddie C, FCL, The Revenge, Lee Curtis, Toby Tobias, Vince Watson, Iron Curtis and a host of others. What defines The Melbourne Deepcast from others is its patronage to the amount of incredible talent within Melbourne's ranks. Local contributers include Christian Vance, Lewie Day (aka Tornado Wallace), Craig McWhinney, Mic Newman, Francis Inferno Orchestra, Otologic and Mike Callander.

Xhin's mixes have earnt a reputation of being somewhat of a musical lesson or lecture in electronic music styles, with 90's electronica often playing a major role (see his Electric Deluxe podcast). This time around we see Boards Of Canada, Autechre, Clark and Caustic Window (aka Richard David James aka Aphex Twin) penciled in for what may well be an insight into the Singaporeans down reaching and dusky production techniques.

TEA Presents Xhin - Australian Tour

TEA is proud to present the Australian tour of Xhin, one of todays most thrilling talents in contemporary techno,

Xhin will be hitting Australian shores for the first time on March 17th with his first show hosted by hAUL Music and TEA at Melbourne's Miss Libertine Saturday March 19th. (Perth 18th March TBA).

Supporting Xhin at TEA's very own Melbourne show will be hAUL and TEA representatives Christian Vance (hAUL), Craig McWhinney (hAUL), Mike Callander (hAUL) and James Manning (TEA). Whilst Melbourne’s Knee Deep collective of Toby Josef, Luke Bruin and Louis McCoy will have Miss Libertine’s front room Raffles for our Singaporean occasion, alongside G-Town’s Isaac Fryar.

The Singaporean producer is already a master in the dark art of brooding, dusky techno. Even his earliest forays into production were produced with a careful hand, eliciting a controlled pummel that quickly caught the ear of established heads: Speedy J, Luke Slater and Sandwell District’s Function are all paid up members of the Xhin fan club.

Following releases on German label Meerestief, Xhin was taken under the wing of Stroboscopic Artefacts boss Lucy, the result being a label-artist combination that pushes boundaries and defies categorisation. An upcoming long player for the SA and CLR imprints slated for 2011, has hAUL and TEA giddy with anticipation.

In addition to his own productions, collaborations with the likes of Schaffhäuser, US stalwart Jerome Sydenham and LX series with Lucy has ensured his star has risen further still. Indeed, if 2010 goes down as a breakthrough year for Xhin, 2011 promises to be stratospheric.

$20 pre-sale tickets are available for hAUL & TEA's Melbourne show through RA, Moshtix and TEA.
