captain hook word s / rk
The multi-talented, multi-genre-producing and many-projectundertaking Reshef Harari is on top of his game right now. Having conquered almost every corner of the globe with his multidimensional sound – including at some of the biggest festivals like Burning Man and Atmosphere – the man is getting ready to head back to Australia to deliver on his promise of a unique fusion of psychedelic progressive techno trance. In fact if you do your reading, you’ll discover that Reshef Harari has achieved more than his fair share over the years – least of which is being credited with being the man behind the genre termed ‘progressive transtep’. If nothing else though, the progressive trance-head – hailing from one of the true spiritual homes of trance Israel – is upbeat about the happenings in his universe. “Growing up in Israel was great,” chimes Reshef. “I actually lived in the countryside and coming from a farming family, I had an amazing childhood filled with nature and freedom!” Of course though the tenuous relationship between the country and a number of its neighbors meant that finding an escape was a priority for much of the local youth – and with that came the growth in electronic music that has permeated the country for many years now. “Parties in our country were always a way for us to release tension and break away from things,” he professes with pride. “Once you got onto the dance floor as a kid – and I’ve been going to parties since I was 15 years old - nothing can move you away. For me, it went even further; I went deeper into trance while syncing my mind, body and soul.” Indeed, he got into music originally from the inspiration provided by his brother, who was producing parties as far back as 1998. “When I had the chance to listen to this music – which at the time felt like a massive alien future sound of trance - I got hooked onto minimal trance. And since then, I’ve been collecting and producing music. But it was really my brother that started me on this evolution.”

jazz - basically what he terms “any good beat” – the Captain is kicking goals. In the studio, he also recounts some of the work he has on the go: “I’m working on a double remix album for all of my original releases so far,” he says. “This album will contain a wide range of electronic music such as glitch-hop, dubstep and techno-funk in the first CD; with more of a minimal, progressive, goa and psychedelic trance sound in the second. I hope that the album will give the listener an introduction to my musical world - as well as an opportunity to listen to remix works from fresh, new and old-time producers whom I love and respect.” The album is due around October this year on Iboga Records. Finally, he adds a few words about his forthcoming gigs in Australia. “I will be playing live at the Earthcore 20th Anniversary party which I’m really looking forward to. Right now, my setup is a laptop, a soundcard with multi-channels connecting the analog mixer, Kaoss Pad, Ableton Live with some edits, as well as Pioneer DJM 800/900/2000 for everything from analog FX to echo, reverb, filtering and pitching. The sound this time will be more tribal and less breaks. I would say more flowing, mature and deeper than what I used to play. It will also be my third trip to Australia so I can’t wait!”
it. I also produce techno under the name Sheff and have played under this project at a number of different festivals over the times. In the past, I have also had a project called Quantize and had a partner within it - D Addiction. Otherwise, I’m forming a band with Liquid Soul called Liquid Hook; as well as a band with Ace Ventura under the name Blockbusterz.” So with influences ranging from trance, techno, bass music, hip hop, metal, classic rock, swing,

r.a. the rugged man R.A The Rugged Man is heading down to Melbourne. Few artists are ever as controversial as they are influential yet R.A. The Rugged Man seems to achieve this with seamless ease. By combining the authenticity and harsh realities of his life with lyrical genius he is feared by nearly all of his hip hop peers. His on and off stage behaviour has led him to be banned from performing in the United States and his career almost being cut short. With the tenacity that has come from his ever testing path through life, R.A has managed to get back on his feet and resurrect what is turning into a whirlwind career. From collaborations with Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep to The Notorious B.I.G. and Kool G Rap, not to mention productions from Erick Sermon, DJ Quik and The Alchemist, his discography reads like a Hip Hop Hall of Fame. Make sure to head down to the Espy on Thursday September 19.

Forming the basis of classic Chicago house and hip-house, Cooper has continued to make waves in house music today. With the recent repressing of Nuthin’ Wrong on Mojuba becoming a modern day classic, as well as collaborations with Tom Trago, Marc Romboy and releases on Clone, We Play House, his own label Supa Dupa Records, amongst an impressive list of others, Tyree Cooper shows no signs of slowing down. Make sure to head down to New Guernica on Saturday August 31.

Bringing live instrumentation to his DJ sets is what Timmy Trumpet is all about. He’s toured the world as a jazz musician, played the likes of Ibiza and is making waves in the US while having developed his own brand in a short space of time. Timmy Trumpet says it was a chance meeting with some fellow DJs and the demise of the jazz club scene that got him into electro house and dance music. “I couldn’t cut it in the jazz world,” he says. “I was a jazz musician and tried as hard as I could, but it’s just too difficult these days with all the jazz clubs I used to play at closing down.” As a youngster he fell in with UK label Hed Kandi and played alongside Bob Sinclair and Martin Solveig, bringing the trumpet behind the decks and fuelling his new love for dance music. Coming back to Australia, he met two up and coming DJs who asked him if he wanted to play with them. “It was at a gig in Wollongong of all places where I met The Stafford Brothers, and they invited to me to play with them because their usual player was sick or something,” he says. “The gig was actually the festival Summafieldayze, and we played the main stage having never rehearsed together, and it just worked out.” This new beginning for the former high school trumpet tutor led to opportunities to mix Ministry of Sound compilations, play Pacha Ibiza and release his own singles. He has a collaboration in the works with Aussie rapper 360, and also wants to make the most of the US market with The Stafford Brothers now residing there. “I’ve got a US visa and am working with the Stafford’s who are kind of setting it up for me over there, which is great,” he says. “To really break through there I would have to live there, which they do, and their track Hello with Lil Wayne out now is doing really well.”
When he can find the time to listen, music in general is his sole inspiration and he says he loves to play what’s new, breaking down musical boundaries in the process. “I’m loving Spofity and listening to music through that, and although I don’t write any of it, I’m really getting into trap music,” he says. “I’m impressed by Flume, and I’ve always loved the Melbourne sound and Will Sparks as well.” The significance of the instrument he plays to his sound and the career he’s forged for himself is something he hasn’t forgotten. “I’ve always looked at myself as a trumpet player and not a DJ,” he says. “I’ve been playing trumpet since I was four years old, and I did trumpet tutoring through high school and jazz band world tours when I was young. The trumpet for me is everything. “I play trumpet about 50 per cent of the time in my sets,” he says. “I do that because it’s not about me, it’s about the music that I’m playing.”
Timmy Trumpet’s latest release Ministry of Sound Sessions Ten is out now. He’ll hit Billboard on Saturday August 31.

word s / a la s d a i r d u n c a n Youthful Perth four-piece Scenic make dreamy disco and house sounds, and their newest EP, Shockwaves, sees them step out from behind their computers and push their music into a warm, beautiful live instrumentation. Shockwaves is out very soon – how are you guys feeling? Adam Tucker: Really good, it’s our first release in a year, so we’re excited to get some new music out and see how people react to it, really. Writing and recording it was quite a long process. We finished the songs about six months ago, and it took about nine months before that to write the songs. We wrote quite a lot more, but then narrowed it down to the four. Eric Harrison: A lot of the time was spent learning how to record properly. Our previous releases were very software-oriented – we didn’t have any analogue or hard instruments. We recorded guitar and drums and bass this time around, and it takes the sound to a new level. Now you’ve done it once, do you reckon you’re more confident about doing it again in the future? AT: Definitely. The next one’s going to come a lot faster – we’ve been through the whole process of learning and experimenting with recording instruments, and now we’ve done it, we’ll be able to do it more efficiently in the future. Scenic make loose, dreamy electronic tracks – I’m wondering, do you jam a lot in the early stages of song writing? AT: Initially, maybe – we hash out bass lines and drum beats and chords. The songs come together through more of an electronic process. We spend a lot of time layering and processing the sounds, and seeing what parts work together. EH: We might start with a chord progression or a particular bass line, then work on a chorus, and then try and fit the two together. It’s more of an electronic, producer-centred process, where we layer sounds on top of each other.
You guys released a single on Joakim’s label, and listening to a track like Hours On End, you can hear a bit of his influence – are you big fans of his? AT: We’ve always liked his production style, and we love his early remix work. EH: We love the music that he releases on the Tigersushi label. I guess it’s just that layered sound, the idea of an intro where the drum and bass sounds slowly start to come in. We really like that structure. You are Perth-based – what’s it like for a young band there? AT: It’s so isolated that you end up looking at what’s happening in the rest of the world, in France and the UK and even in Sydney, and bringing those influences back to Perth. It’s tough being in a band here, because there are only so many venues here and so many gigs you can play. Would you consider relocating to Melbourne or Sydney? AT: I think for now we’re pretty happy in Perth. We’re slowly expanding our horizons, and we may move at some point, but not yet. Will you guys be touring the EP? AT: Hopefully we will at the end of the year. We try and keep the live stuff as live as possible, considering that the songs are quite electronic. We have live bass and drums. The live show is more jammy, I would say. EH: We have the four songs on the EP, and to fill out the rest of the 45 minutes, we play long intros and outros, we really expand on the songs. Our previous releases are quite different, in terms of their sound and how they were made, so instead of incorporating them into the live show, we’re really working on just the new stuff.
Shockwaves is out on Friday August 9 through Future Classic.

One of techno’s true underground heroes, Function has been DJing and making music for over 15 years. After being seduced by techno by Jeff Mills in the early 90s, Function started producing music from the mid-90s onwards. In 2008 he moved to Berlin, working with Regis and Silent Servant, putting his focus into the acclaimed Sandwell District Imprint. Layered club tracks with soaring string-led atmospheric build ups and complex melodic pieces is Function’s signature style. Kevin McAuley aka Pangaea began making music with a two-track mixer, a keyboard and a tape deck as a schoolboy. Discovering dubstep through the sounds of Mala in the backroom of a Leeds club in 2005, Kevin was inspired to start the city’s first dubstep night, Ruffage, and launched himself into the studio. He’s built a burgeoning reputation as a true pioneer behind the decks supported by the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs who described his recent mix for BBC Radio 1 as “texturally one of the most exquisite mixes of the year”. Pangaea’s sound however is difficult to tie down. While there are distinct house and techno influences his music is firmly rooted in the traditions of UK bass as are his DJ sets. It’s all happening at Brown Alley on Friday August 9.
