The artists:
r hunter.
r hunter is the production project of Naarm-based artist Asher Elazary. His work navigates the tangled landscape of technology, neurosis, and desire, connecting the ruptures between computer music, deconstructed club, drone, and ambient. Informed by improvisation and collaborative exchange, r hunter’s practice is both intimate and fragmented, exploring moments of musical instability through shifting textures and abstract rhythmic frameworks.

DyLAB
DyLAB, a UK-born acid producer now based in Melbourne, draws on roots in the free party scene. His DIY background informs a practical yet creative production style. dyLAB will be performing a live rework of his Detroit Underground release Mechanization Singularity. This set will be a textural, ambient detour built from acid fragments manipulated in real time, in an attempt to create an evolving, immersive soundscape.
