High Tide – New album from Cassandra’s Myth!

neph2009 — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 06:37:39 +0000

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 reviewer Sean of Alternate Parallel Reality (and his online radio show) has written a review well worth a good few readings.

The album is a free download from the Cassandra’s Myth website… not many things of value are free in this world… and there is far greater value in the art within this album than any release we could imagine you would pay for. Download it, enjoy it, and let Ben know what you thought!!! We think he would very deeply appreciate your feedback and support. All hail Cassandra’s Myth!!! and thank you for your friendship…

SLAMin Exhibition 22-31 July

neph2009 — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 06:32:01 +0000

Some new friends of Dawn Industry are preparing an amazing exhibition as part of the Melbourne State of Design Festival, and we think this is an opportunity not to be missed.

SLAMin is presented by Post Industrial Design, a West Footscray gallery space and shopfront which supports a wide range of local artists (many of whom are our friends) focusing on hand made unique intriguing objects born of recycled materials, found objects and much more. The store is definitely worth a visit to appreciate the range of industrial styled and fused pieces on display.

The SLAMin exhibition will be even more reason to head there! A range of artists (including Sarah Watt, Jos Van Hulsen, Karenne Rees, Baby Guerilla, Steve Leadbeater, Thuy Vy, Kial Menadue) have drawn together the philosophy of the store, the theme of the festival “Design that Moves” and local skate culture to present a show based around “the artistic impact skaters have on our everyday physical environment”.

The exhibition is already generating a lot of excitement in the community, and was recently written up in The Age Newspaper.

APR RADIO – EOF Edition

neph2009 — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 23:32:01 +0000

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).

DAWN INDUSTRY SKATEBOARDS

Greetings friends! It is with great joy that we announce the official launch of the Dawn Industry Skateboards site. We have been experimenting with deck building / printing and custom griptape options for months now, so we are glad to make it all a reality. Stay tuned for all kinds of action coming soon, including the arrival of Steam Punk and Crete Spine decks, as well as the release of more products.

We want to thank all the Dawn Industry guys for their support of our work both at the blog, and the facebook group. The overwhelming positive vibe was wonderful.
