Off The Record

Alongside running his own imprint (which has released over 60 productions from the likes of Ruede Hagelstein, Onno and Emerson Todd) the Berlin native has had his own works released through imprints like Mobilee, Strictly Rhythm and Watergate Records, and was a former member of recent Australian visitors Pan-Pot. Catch him on Sunday October 4 at Home Nightclub for S.A.S.H.

Zev Le Wolfe and Gadi Mizrahi, AKA Wolf + Lamb [pictued above], have confirmed a Sydney headline show to take place later this year. Already announced for the 2015 incarnation of the Subsonic Music Festival, the duo will perform as part of the Café del Mar Sun Sets series, which sees weekly Sunday summer parties taking place from midday with Sydney Harbour as the backdrop. They’ll be joined on Sunday December 13 by Murat Kilic and Robbie Lowe.

Here’s a sentence I never imagined I’d be typing: Norman Nodge is coming to Australia. Nodge began his career in 1994 as an event promoter after the Berlin Wall fell, before moving into DJing and producing. Over the course of his career he’s released on the likes of Ostgut Ton and Marcel Dettmann’s MDR label, and has held down a residency at the infamous Berghain for the past decade. He’ll lead a heavy-hitting local lineup including Sebastian Bayne, Aaron Robins, Dave Stuart, D&D, Robbie Lowe, Gabe Fernandes and Brosnan Perera on Saturday October 17 at the Burdekin Hotel.

Those cats over at Red Bull Music Academy have announced a killer double bill for their next club night series – Benedek and Moon B. Two of the most prolific producers in modern funk fusion, they’re both housed on Washington People’s Potential Unlimited label. Moon B AKA Wes Gray has also released on the likes of 1080p, Nous, Voltaire and Omega Supreme, while Benedek began his career by experimenting with beat production on Nintendo’s Game Boy camera software before moving on to his first hardware synthesiser, a Roland HS-60. Catch ’em both on Saturday October 10 at Goodgod Small Club. As always, it’s free, you’ve just gotta RSVP online.

Tour rumours: word on the grapevine is that Julio Bashmore will be returning Down Under early next year, as will Max Graef.

Best releases this week: the first release on Lee Gamble’s new label UIQ has dropped and it’s straight fiyah – N1L’s Wrong Headspace. Other highlights include Adalberto’s Toolbox (Acidicted), Saine’sSmall Remedies (Fools & Fables), Luis CL’s Untitled (Superconscious) and Gavin Russom’s Body Minimalism (Curle).
