Last week Australian electronic label Nightime Drama released Southern Series 001. The first compilation release for the six year old Adelaide and Sydney based imprint, it’s an eclectic and satiating selection of tracks from eight Australian producers who display their prowess at the cutting edge of the deep and nocturnal side of techno, dub and electro. It features Adelaide DJ/Producers Featherstone, Antony Coppens and Metamethod, and Sydney producers Drox (Analog Cabin founder), Oscar.Mike, Simon Mann, Microlot and Jet Black. All eight tracks bring together both the considerable production nous of both the artists/producers themselves as well as the innate precision contained in the value adding mastering work by Ben Feggens.
Every track is worthy of being singled out but we’ve selected two for you to sample below. The first is by Ben Featherstone, who recently began releasing material under his last name with Monotreme ADL but is also known as Junglemire and is one half of live production duo One & One. The pulsating and supremely technical left field piece of minimalist techno that is ‘PMD’ is his contribution. Our other selection comes from Oscar.Mike. ‘Yoyeur’ is a penetratingly tough yet delicately constructed track that illustrates the producer’s all round artistic dexterity. Nightime Drama’s Southern Series 001 is out now and is available digitally here. Highly recommended.
