About Me

Pete's focus has now turned to production, focusing on his chill/downtempo project - 'Bent Intent'. Incorporating open soundscapes, sneaky rhythms, accoustic elements and evolving synthesis - Bent Intent follows the 'less is more approach', revelling in the spaces in between - to create an original and distinct fusion of chilled and world beats, combined with smatterings of dub, ambient, downbeat and triphop...
Bent Intent has perfomed live at large scale outdoor events & festivals such as Rainbow Serpent, Cairns Winter Solstice, Earthfreq, Bushweek, Solar FX Gathering, Freakreation, Audiogasm, Earthdance, Illumination and Labyrinth...
...performing alongside artists such as Seb Taylor (Hibernation/Kaya Project/Digitalis), Spoonbill, Bluetech, OTT, Aes Dana, Rhian Sheehan, Mystic Beats, Superfluous Nipple, the entire Zenon crew, Pitch Black, Deep Fried Dub, SunControlSpecies, Perfect Stranger, Eat Static and many more...
RELEASES:
'ALL IN' - VA 'Primordial' - [Biosine Records - NNSW]
Available from www.psyshop.com and www.goastore.ch
"With some surprise additions to the tracklist that include a minimal mind twister from the Artifakt, and an eerie, psychedelic moody stomper from Kluster’s side project with friend dj EgoT, Cause and Effect. Also included are some editions from prog heavyweights such as Sensient, Behind Blue Eyes, Minimal Criminal, Autonomech and keeping with Biosine’s ethic of releasing new and upcoming quality artists, monster tracks from Australia’s One Tasty Morsel and a tech-trance stomper from Israel’s Felis and Mish-kah, all sweetly topped and tailed by more down tempo from Bent Intent and Superfluous Nipple. With a minimal of fluff this release goes about it's business of bringing staunch minimal/progressive to the outdoor party dancefloor as well as providing a CD that can be enjoyed from start to finish."

'DUBBENRUB' - VA 'Polynated' - [Hunab Ku Creations - Melb]
"Borne of musicians discovered in the chill at the Rainbow Serpent Festival, Polynated is a collection of uniquely Australian downtempo artists. The album is a journey of sonic diversity in the realms of downbeat psychedelic ambient, with elements of dub, glitch, and galactic spirals. This is the first time that Melbourne's diverse chillout acts have been given a unified platform, and Polynated underscores their diversity, quality and individuality. Regular performers d-Rektional, Oblique Industries and Superfluous Nipple appear alongside promising new acts including Tranquility Bass, Ilak and Bent Intent to create an album that's as fresh, inspiring and unique as the Melbourne scene it documents."
