Melbourne DJ and sometimes producer, Tim Harvey has been lurking around the Australian electronic music scene since 1996 when an old school friend took him to an outdoor dance party just outside Melbourne which introduced him to a host of new possibilities for the manipulation of sound.
Having played numerous musical instruments as a child, and having partly busked his way through Uni, it wasn’t long before he was swapping the guitar for a computer and starting to experiment with his own compositions.
Tim has a long history of involvement in the healthy Melbourne electronic scene that includes Tranceplant, a Melbourne-based collective that ran outdoor events in conjunction with environmental work such as tree plantings. For several years he was 1 half of the legendary underground dark psychedelic purveyors Alien Earth.
His current direction represents a fusion of funky progressive fused with elastic, funktuated electro cuts and a good dose of grinding techno. It’s a mouthful but generally covers the blur of genres that are mixing across each other at the moment.
Juggling other commitments, he spends as much time as possible in the studio (not enough) where he tries to hammer out at least a few tracks each year to satisfy his creative yearnings.
Tim has been a long term fixture at some of Australia’s most well-respected electronic music festivals including Rainbow Serpent Festival, Tribeadelic Gatherings and Earthcore. He can also be found playing around the various Melbourne clubs and smaller outdoor festivals.
Internationally he’s played across Europe and South East Asia, an experience he enjoyed so much he is planning on spending time over the next few years living in Spain to indulge his itchy feet and travel fantasies.
These days Tim’s still actively ‘out there’ as a DJ and working behind the scenes on the successful Rainbow Serpent Festival each year. He is still having the time of his life and is loving the recent resurgence in good interesting and fresh tunes.
