Since 1999 the Dawn Industry website (formerly tidalportal.com) has provided a central gateway to personal, commercial and community-driven projects by Australian artist Ivan Bullock.

Over the course of two decades, Dawn Industry has taken many forms. An underground record label and distributor. A promotional site for musical colleagues and collaborators. An independent event organiser, skateboard manufacturer and more.

The current active creations are:

Minorarc (progressive metal & experimental music)
Darkstereo (independent news and reviews about melancholic, underground, experimental and extreme music)
Lapidaus (hand-cut and locally sourced precious gemstones)

Other projects currently under development include Child of the Finder (novel), and a slather of collaborative writing communities which remain private. Previous work included: DEMUS (Dark Electronic Music Underground Society), Dark Stereo (Music store), Enzyme (Melbourne music events), Mystral Tide (Dark classical music) and Dawn Industry Skateboards.
