Robbie Divine is an audio artist living in Melbourne, Australia. He makes songs and creates sound for film, theatre and dance. His live shows interrogate the slippery edges of capital P Pop. He is a member of Polito, a project where improvised contemporary dance meets live improvised techno music.
Marcus Whale makes music, performance and writing about the ecstasy and horror of desire, the void and the divine. His shows, often taking place in the round or amongst audiences, range from sets of live music to song-length club moments, from gallery performances to full-length stage shows in the theatre. He is a current member of the band Perfect Actress, a former member of Collarbones and BV and is a 7-time nominee for the Australian Music Prize.
Land Systems is the industrial dance and ambient-infused techno project of Nathan Moas. His music combines distortion and grit with lush melodies to explore the more vulnerable and untamed aspects of dance music.
