Our new episode of the Blankhaus Podcast Series delivered by @Bromtown.
After years in Australia’s underground heavy music scene and pub gigging circuit, Bromtown switched guitar for CDJs and a MPC in 2013. From Adelaide, Barcelona and Jakarta he became known for a sample-laden electronica sound in his DJ/live sets and with two EPs releases. Moving to Boston in 2019, Bromtown became immersed in the US underground techno scene, and founded the monthly Beautiful Machines series focused on modular synthesis performance.
This mix draws inspiration from recent experiences curating live performers for Beautiful Machines and being part of the Slingshot festival in North Carolina. The mix opens and closes with two New England modular synth producers he has worked with, and features a diverse range of artists that he saw perform at the festival. The mixing style features long transitions and three deck mixing, inspired by the heavily layered four deck approach of the Italian duo Tapefeed. Sonically it blends both the rich ambient sounds he used to gravitate toward with the techno style to which he is now drawn.
