The Plastik Scene

About Me

The Plastik Scene blends electronic aspects and live, analogue instruments, samples and synthesisers into a universe of unique sound. We have shared line-ups with many of WA's most prominent musical exports including The Sleepy Jackson, End of Fashion and Jebediah to name a few.

Now hell bent on putting together a self-recorded release through the Sensei Sounds Label, the Plastik Scene has never ceased the evolution of a sound that is unlike any other, an epic-pop electronica that recalls Portishead, the Pixies and Bjork in the same breath.
