UK experimental techno dude Powell is set to make his Australian debut this month with shows in Sydney and Melbourne.

The man born Oscar Powell has only been in the game since 2011, but already he’s ascended to tastemaking heights by setting up the label Diagonal, which has put out beats by the likes of Bronze Teeth, Beau Wanzer and Shit And Shine. Powell’s party trick? He regularly plays a Lenka Clayton record sampling a George W. Bush speech, with all the words rearranged into alphabetical order.

Powell heads up the Demiurge party at the Imperial Hotel in Erskineville on Friday November 28.
