If you're involved somehow in Melbourne's underground indie rock scene you're probably closer than six degrees of separation to Loki Lockwood.The proprietor of Spooky Records, live music engineer, and musician he's worked with everyone interesting including Roland S Howard, Ollie Olson, Spencer P Jones, Brian Henry Hooper, Tony Cohen and many more.He's just released a pair of albums and a single as Velatine with quite a different sound than he's previously known for.The new collections Store Atmospherics and The Trap plus the single We are, are you alright are the result of a long learning curve and his immersion with a new generation of electronic sampling machine.The music has been gaining interest and support from around the world and Music journalist Robert Brokenmouth says that the albums are reminiscent of Laibach crossbred with John Carpenter's 1970's soundtracks but there's so much more to it than than that.Hear Loki Lockwood and Velvatine on And This One's Introduced By... with Paul Elliott on Planet X.

BBQ Haque (pronounced 'Barbeque HACK') are a Melbourne instrumental - Psych - Garage band who've been described by Patrick Emery on the i94bar.com music website, as transcendental and maybe dissociative. Either way,  you can get lost in BBQ Hague, but you're not really lost , you're just on a different plane. It's a plane with a dusty spaghetti western edge, mesmerising beats and psychedelic chants. You're dragged in  wide eyed, devoted to the cause, if you only knew what it all meant. Perhaps an understanding of the French language might help.BBQ Haque are my guests on And This Ones Introduced By..., on Planet X on Thursday 11th Feb @ 11.30PM  with Doctor Gonzo on Community  radio 3CR 855AM and streaming at 3cr.org.au Find out more about BBQ HERE
