Band Members: Uber Lingua DJs in June 2007 June went to the US-Mexico border taking up the invitation to play a series of shows in Tijuana - hometown of the Nortec
Collective. The Mexican crew opened the first Uber Lingua residency in
Sydney during 2005, and returned to give one of the highlight shows at last
year's Melbourne International Arts Festival, as well as once again playing
with Uber Lingua at St Jeromes. The sound of the Nortec Collective is the
sound of the First World in the Third and the Third World in the First.
This next visual mix was made from footage from the Tijuana trip.Big shout out to the Nortec Collective crew and all the others who made our stay there one to remember.
I then went on to travel through the U.S and Canada on the way i kept a detailed blog and made several films that were uploaded to youtube and are embedded in my blog.various events that i attended were filmed and hacked together into low fi films that have attracted a lot of views on youtube.
"One Night Of Fire" was a great Renegade Parade that met up on Brooklyn bridge on July 14th 07 that i was lucky enough to be part of on a sweltering hot New York City summer night.
The Finger Lakes Grassroots festival was an awesome weekender in upstate New York that occurred on the weekend of July 20th-22nd 07,the festival was a good mix of varied music and sustainable lifestyle and minimal security presence.
Then I made it up to Canada where I'm stayed with a friend Steve who used to be at the Mekanarky warehouse back in Sydney.The film i made here fchronicles the journey from having just turned up in Toronto to finding and getting to the Northtek teknival that night 300k North West of town on the 28th and 29th July 07.Big ups to the Sound Systems present some who had travelled from Montreal and upstate Quebec,more at http://www.free23.net/.
Still In Toronto I went with Steve to the finals of the Pillow Fight League at a local club and checked out the massive and very noisy Caribana festival in Toronto and my fave reggae singer Barrington Levy....

These lights are made from Perspex offcuts printed and stenciled with layers of images. Their themes vary from asian to olde world to street style. The printed Perspex pieces are held together with specially made wooden pillars courtesy of scratch built joiners at the Tortuga warehouse. www.myspace.com/tortugastudiosThe boxes were shown at an exhibition called Cluster at 22 Enmore road in December 2006,since then about twenty display boxes have been made this year some of which you may have seen them at the Jollywood spaces at Peats Ridge and Regrowth Festival or at the Uber Lingua club nights the Sydney laneway festival and at the Abercrombie Hotel that ran for five months last summer.Some have an older flavour enhanced with shellac and glazes others look like street walls covered in graffiti posters and stencils.I also design quite a lot of flyers for events around sydney and have recently started producing limited edition runs of hand printed posters
Influences: My major influences are HipHop,Reggea,Grime,Baltimore Beats,Baille Funk,I love M.I.A,Tigara,Aussie acts Combat Wombat,Curse of Dialect,french act Djins,old school Reggea and dub as well as Gypsy beats and Arabic flavoured tracks.
My favorite radio show is Stuart Buccanan's Fat Planet show on Sydney's FBI radio and Geina and Lui Mitchells bassline show (FBI sun 5-7pm).(check www.fbi.com.au for more)
I recently have caught the stencil bug and have been producing various strands of design from dogs to political statements.I look forward to showing my stencil art at cultural centre in Tijuana part of Uber lingua tour that will take me to mexico in June 07.
(check out my stencils in my picture section)
I also have been involved in running screenprinting workshops,some at my sydney studio and some out at a community in Condobolin last year.
Sounds Like: I guess the mashy P sounds a bit like post techno dancehall,the skip dancehall double beat structure replacing the four on the floor,but there are many styles glitch reggae,grimy breaks and uplifting as well as dark electronic production.
Record Label: independant self release
