Sydney’s indie dance/dream pop darlings, RÜFÜS, have had an illustrious introduction to life as professional musicians. Multiple sold-out tours in Australia have been augmented by some seriously neat gigs overseas including a number of big-ticket parties in New York City. When we speak, James Hunt of RÜFÜS is preparing for their hotly anticipated album launch. But what does it actually mean when the album Atlas drops? What does Hunt expect on D-Day? “There will be a pretty massive sense of relief,” he says. “We’ve been sitting on the mastered record for a few months now so once it’s out there we’ll be able to really let go of it. We’re really keen for people to get their hands on it. The response while it was the triple j feature album was really positive which makes us even more excited.” While it’s all fun and games to be the latest industry favourite, things can turn when critics attack, and although RÜFÜS make music for themselves, once you release something for other people it’s natural there’ll be criticism and celebration – often in unequal measures. “We’re all totally ready for that,” says Hunt. “The process of writing music is pretty personal for us and we write completely to our own tastes, so for other people to connect to it is a separate process entirely. We’re very open to critical reception. It comes with the territory I guess – mixed reactions are to be expected.” Their’s is a dreamy and exalting flavour of music; it drips of summer and afternoon breezes, and their sound on Atlas has a lot to do with the locale in which it was written. “We started writing on a farm in Berry, where we would wake up to sunshine every morning and we’d spend our lunch breaks playing tennis and listening to our favourite albums on full blast. I’d say that had a lot to do with the general feeling

during this time was for it to transport you somewhere unique, strange or exotic. This in turn shaped the lyrical direction and the emotive content of the tracks.” Given that RÜFÜS’ music is so technically crafted, a little insight into their gear of choice seems
only appropriate. “We were playing around with a bunch of hard synths in the early stages - an SH-101, an Oberheim Xpander and a Minimoog,” Hunt says. “But we were borrowing these off friends so we only had them for a limited time. What was really useful for us was purchasing Native Instruments Komplete. There were some really accessible synths and samplers which made a huge difference to our writing process, and allowed us to bash ideas out really quickly without losing the initial spark. We probably found some of the more iconic sounds of the record playing around with these synths as well.” The thing most notable with RÜFÜS’ releases thus far is their ability to channel the organic and freeform energy of dance music into the confines of an accessible song structure. “I guess it comes down to the kind of influences that we draw upon when we write,” Hunt explains. “For Atlas we were referencing artists like Booka Shade, Claude Vonstroke, Mujuice and Trentemøller amongst many others. By the same token, we really try to keep a pop sensibility and awareness of structure, and we try to pick our moments of conciseness and when to indulge a little bit.”
RÜFÜS play at the Corner Hotel on Sunday September 22, Monday September 23, Tuesday September 24 and Friday September 27. Atlas is out now on Sweat It Out/Sony. facebook.com/rufussounds soundcloud.com/ rufussounds

Off the back of his Immunity LP, Hopkins has found himself confirmed as a solo producer of international standing and a respected artist in his own right. Before Immunity he was only but an elusive producer for the likes of Eno, Coldplay and David Holmes to name but a few.

gorgon city
Gorgon City are polished, powerful and party-minded and have already caught the ears of tastemakers like Diplo, DJ T, Annie Mac and Mistajam. Inspired by the endless groove possibilities when house, garage and bass music go toe-totoe, Gorgon City’s distinctive sound is a logical development of the duo’s individual work as RackNRuin and Foamo. BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra and Rinse FM have already given them righteous hype and their current single Real, featuring Yasmin has gained huge support making it one of 2013’s earliest scorchers. Make sure to head down to Revolver on Saturday September 21.
Hungarian Jay Lumen’s musical journey has seen him come a long way, from classical violin training at eight years old to now being one of the world’s leading driving forces behind the tech house and techno movements.

Angelo Del Core is the softly spoken Italian techno superstar, rather happy to be talking down the line to Australia about his second tour in many years: “I am very happy to be talking to you again,” he chimes. “Since we spoke last year, a lot of exciting things have happened. I have done numerous tours around the world through Europe and South America and had the opportunity to play in some of the biggest techno festivals in the world, such as Mayday.” These are the sorts of gigs that only a few short years ago, he claims he couldn’t have dreamt of playing. But mentalities have changed – not just amongst punters and fans, but also with producers, who are now often thinking outside the square. “In Italy, the techno scene a few years ago was terrible, but techno clubs are rocking again like they were in the 1990s. The evidence of this is that I’m playing in my country much more often than in the past and the clubs are starting to promote techno again.” And pleasingly, this is a far departure from the way things were. “To be honest, it really was a little bit sad to see the scene the way it was over the last few years - the Italian scene was not great for techno. It was one of the best scenes some years ago, but people started moving in more commercial movements. But this phase luckily has changed and things are for the better now.” Musically, the man has been rather busy in the studio in recent times as well. Last year, he released the Koreload Volume 1 and Volume 2 compilations on his own imprint, Different Is Better. “I think these featured some of my favourite tracks produced over the years on other labels; a sort of an anthology to allow people to discover my old tracks again – to sort of let the new generation hear them. I also have an interesting EP coming up in the next couple of months, on some Italian labels. Some really great music is coming from Italian techno masters also – producers who I consider my mentors - Dandi and Ugo.” Otherwise, the man that delivered the Hypnotic and Wayfarer EPs in recent times won’t be drawn too much on what else he has planned. Other than to say that he has plenty in store – and that there isn’t too much more to give away. “Don’t worry, there are going to be many
surprises; this coming year will probably be my best year since the beginning, in terms of my productions,” he says. “I am producing some of the best techno I ever have; techno is the way I would define myself. In fact, I would say I cannot define myself in any other way.” That said, Angelo is inspired and motivated by many things. Musically, the renaissance being felt in techno right now can’t hurt – but he is also engaged by much of what surrounds him. “Everything I do comes to me by some form of instinct. I listen to all kinds of music; I love to take inspiration from every new area of music I listen to. That also helps me when I produce. I sit in front of my computer and basically, whatever happens - happens. There is usually something in my mind too, that guides me to do what I want to – it isn’t always completely easy but I know what I have to do.” His sets too, are diverse but he admits that he is feeling the darker, more sinister sounds of the genre at present. “My performances are based on the dark concept at the moment,” he describes. “I try to introduce that vibe during my sets as well as some older, more famous tracks. I find it funny how the ‘techno people’ and the ‘not so techno’ people like it – but the end result is that people are still loving techno, which in my opinion is a good thing.” So finally, Angelo is well pumped about coming back to Australia so soon after his recent trip a year or so ago. “It will really be amazing,” he says. “I think it will be great. I have a special feeling for Australia and the people there. I would love to come back two or three times a year if I could. I love it there and I love the vibe and people. Earthcore is also a very special step for me in my DJ career – it is a famous festival worldwide that people all over the world know about.”

Back in the day, two producer/DJs Michael David and Tyler Blake couldn’t catch a break. They resorted to throwing parties outside a basement in Echo Park, Los Angeles, in what became a semiregular event know as Hush Hush. Lines extended around the corner. Blake was evicted. And Classixx was born. It might be said that the endurance of Classixx and their musical production comes down to their relationship. “We’d probably be making this music anyway even if people weren’t interested,” Michael says. “Our friendship is very much based on our musical sensibilities, so for people to enjoy the music we’re been making, is pretty cool.” Now the duo are one of the most respected acts in dance music, with their own hit tracks I’ll Get You, Dominoes and Hanging Gardens as well as epic remixes of Groove Armada, Yacht, Major Lazer and Phoenix. They are headed to Oz for the inaugural Listen Out IDM parties across the country this September and October. “I find that Australian audiences go crazy and are very expressive,” Michael says. The boys are excited to be a part of Listen Out, which organizers say was designed to fill a gap in the festival market for an intelligent, Australian dance music event. “We’re just really happy and feel lucky to be a part of it,” Michael says. “We’re definitely privileged to be a part of it.” It will be the Australian debut of their long awaited first album Hanging Gardens. “It’s been pretty positive,” Mike says of the reaction to the album. “We didn’t have very many expectations, so positive responses have been very flattering for us. I think that people who liked our previous work have been responding to us – that’s not been very surprising. But also we’ve picked up some new
fans that are more prone to listening to albums.” They’re stripping back their live performances, focusing on the fundamentals. “For the most part it’s just Tyler and I on stage,” he says. “We’re trying to pull back some of the peripheral elements, keep it sort of raw, we’re playing keyboard and guitars and sequencing. The main takeaway is that we’re trying to make the live experience an authentic one.” In terms of touring together, knowing each other since they were kids mean few lines have been left uncrossed. “We know each other very well, probably about as well as two friends can, it’s almost like touring with family,’ Mike says. “We kind of can be completely ourselves, sometimes selfish and sometimes concerned for the other person.” Michael and Tyler met in middle school, with the former heavily into Guns N’ Roses and New Age guitars while the latter was deep into West Coast Funk. They went their separate ways for a while, Tyler to the Berklee School of Music and Michael on the road as a keyboardist with a band. They always stayed in touch, sharing music online, before coming together again in Los Angeles, unleashing their unique, synth-disco sounds on their own tracks and those of others. Classixx will play at Listen Out on Saturday October 5 at Observatory Precinct, Royal Botanic Gardens. Hanging Gardens is out now through Future Classic. facebook.com/classixxofficial soundcloud.com/ classixx
