UNDERGROUND MUSIC

For many years Cassandra’s Myth has been one of Melbournes most secretive hidden musical gems… a project overflowing with talent, originality and an incredible ability to stun listeners every year with a new release of impeccable quality. High Tide is in stark contrast to previous works of industrial pop oriented electronica, and comes from left field with beautiful accoustic pieces, laid back electronics and a massive spectrum of diversity. Blinding light and uplifting melody, ultra violet chiller electronics, all the way through to a darkness which is not in your face… but lurking, and only exposing itself one small area at a time. There is a lot that we could say about this incredible album… and our good friend...

This year has seen our good friends at Alternate Parallel Reality hosting a fantastic downloadable radio show. Featuring music from the Dawn Industry communities, as well as timeless mixes of international music both old and new, the show is sure to delight just about anyone, and also promise some new audio sensations for its listeners. APR has just released a special End of Financial Year edition, get in and download it from www.alternateparallelreality.com It contains dreamy new ExitCity and work from the rather brilliant Nigel Moore. There’s also classic Jam, some Holy Fuck and something from the Dave Greenfield/JJ Burnel Collaboration (you’d know them better as the keyboardist and bassist from The Stranglers).  

  For many years, our regular underground music events “Enzyme” have been held at Blue Velvet in Melbourne Australia. It is with great sadness that this venue, which has supported us on so many levels, will no longer be available later in the year. For this reason, we are planning one last final celebration of underground local music at Blue Velvet, on the 27th May. Featuring: BasticH, Dead Unit, Single Lens Reflex, Clouds Above Chaos, Dj Infectious Unease, Richard Pilkington, Digital Assassin, Minortide We look forward to working with you to ensure that Enzyme can continue, in a new form, at a new location.

Respected music journalist Mick Mercer has given the Infectious Unease Radio Compilation Volume I, Compilation of the Year for 2010 ! Dawn Industry partnered with Infectious Unease to create this massive 4 x CD set of over 60 bands from around the world, as a celebration of the undying support the radio show has offered to independent and subversive music since 1992. It is reassuring for us to know that the work of Infectious, and Dawn Industry is so gladly accepted by our friends and musical colleagues. Personally I’m stoked that Mick Mercer was happy with our production of this huge task… which was undertaken with a very low budget. It is proof that the music of all involved...

Following from our recent announcements about the new releases from Cassandra’s Myth and Alternate Parallel Reality, the end of 2010 is beginning to symbolise a wonderful range of new music coming up. UK producer Oxygen has recently let his cat of out of the bag with Fuse, an enticing journey through electronica and masterful synthesis, available for free at the Demus Network Site Here. After years of performance, lineup changes and recording, Noir Corps has finally made their debut 2 x CD set available at the Dawn Industry Shop. La Terreur is spoken word in the extreme, and an album which is as exhausting and confronting, as it is original. Film Noir and urban darkness mixed with noise, trip...
