Twenty4.

Pinksilver presents a selection of Australia’s finest up & coming and established artists with the Twenty4 release. Featuring 24 slices of avant-garde house & techno over three parts, the Twenty4 release delves into deep, moody house through to quirky minimal house & techno with artists such as Deepchild, Jamie Stevens, YokoO, Craig McWhinney, Steve Ward, Markojux & Thankyou City, to name a few.

A celebration of Australian talent and a gift to underground music connoisseurs across the globe.

Part 3 of the Twenty 4 release charters the more uncompromising elements of techno, with a scattering of Dubstep elements. The release kicks off with Deepchild, these days plying his trade frequently across Europe in arenas such as Berghain. His track ‘Onsen Dramas’ delivers a trademark kick & groove together with an intense use of vocals that leave the listener to their imagination. Pinksilver stalwart Markojux presents ‘On The Run’, a wicked journey deep into the night, a chase between dark elements on the run and noble elements forever a half step behind.

Craig McWhinney delivers us ‘M-99’, a no-nonsense journey into murky dancefloor dynamics, sweeping through the more desolate and dubbier elements of techno. Mike Buhl’s track ‘Record Of Discussion’ forges a dry and relentless path with a looping yet dynamic blend of hats & reverb synth lines, a track that tips its hat in the direction of Detroit’s finest.

Forty6&Two enter the fray with ‘Dihedral’, complete with rolling basslines & drums as it thunders its way through its path, leaving no compromises in its approach and its destruction. Adelaide’s Phildo gives us ‘Unsound’, a track with a clever and devastating use of diverse sounds that rumbles its way along, perfectly made for big festival arenas.

Hargin’s ‘Rattle’ is a wonderful voyage into techno space, not with a floating pod but more akin to a powerful rocketship, complete with signature rolling basslines and shuffling hats as it tears its way through the stars. Completing Part 3 of ‘Twenty4’ is Melbourne’s Mike Callander with his unique take on sonic acoustics on ‘6.5 Minutes With A Hand On It’, ditching the 4/4 time signature in favour of a more esoteric approach to close the Twenty4 release.

Twenty4.

Pinksilver presents a selection of Australia’s finest up & coming and established artists with the Twenty4 release. Featuring 24 slices of avant-garde house & techno over three parts, the Twenty4 release delves into deep, moody house through to quirky minimal house & techno with artists such as Deepchild, Jamie Stevens, YokoO, Craig McWhinney, Steve Ward, Markojux & Thankyou City, to name a few.

A celebration of Australian talent and a gift to underground music connoisseurs across the globe.

Part 2 explores the quirkier elements of house & techno, from Michelle Owen & Deepchild to the grittier & denser sounds of the underground from the likes of Uone & Steve Ward.

The opening track from Berlin resident Michelle Owen ‘Riff Raff’ showcases minimal funk and playful acid undertones while featuring the exquisite vocal talents of fellow Berliner & ex-Sydneysider Deepchild, followed by Nick McMartin with ‘Run Away’, a track full of striking and varied sounds, always moving and but never stagnating.

Canberra’s Biggie & Anjay deliver us ‘Ying Yang’, heading into a tougher 4/4 sound packed full of bouncy basslines and a salient synth hook that carries throughout the track. Melbourne’s Closer Apart follow-up with ‘Macro One’, a track that reveals itself as a low-slung groove, with a touch of sensuousness to boot.

Uone picks up the pace on this release with his tech-house number ‘For The Beep’, a probing excursion into funky dancefloor dynamics. Darius Bassiray & Jon Beta deliver ‘Meet Me In The Dunnies’, a rolling groove that is absorbed by a dreamy use of pads & synths, which together with the track title itself sounds rather ominous.

Steve Ward, a Pinksilver favourite and co-owner of Chameleon Recordings, delivers ‘Downtown Shutdown’ which delves into subterranean territory with its spirited use of reverb and vocals. Closing out Part 2 of ‘Twenty4’ is Perth’s Richard Parker, committed Pinksilver foot soldier, with ‘Anagram’, showcasing his unique and complete production skills with a track that has its roots in techno but creates its own sub-genre. We’ll leave you to decide what it is.
