9Producer/DJ or Both?

DJ/Producer Duo
(Nathan Canizares & Ignacio Pinzon)


Describe Your Sound?

You could say that ‘our sound’ is still developing, the EDM scene is so overcrowded with junk and our aim is to be unique, but also be ourselves. For the time being you can expect a range of tasteful house (tech, electro & progressive). We are currently working on a string of original tracks and remixes and we ask people to keep an open eye for our upcoming releases!

Obscur3d (Harrison Moore), Wollongong

Producer or DJ or Both?

Spend most of my time primarily producing but don’t mind getting the decks out every now and then 


Describe Your Sound

Deep House/progressive house/tech/experimental/chill/Instrumental Hip-hop with jazz influences/glitch. At the moment focusing more on deep house, with ambient soundscapes, chordy stabs, strong rhythmic bass lines, and a fat kick to keep it all together. Lately I’ve been appreciating tunes that have a real raw feel to them, slightly off beat percussion, un-mastered stems, and in moderation vinyl distortion. A lot of people have said my music is good to “study” to and I also appreciate it more when it’s in the background & when I’m not analysing the shit out of it. 


Where you regularly play, or have played

The Bar next door to Samuels (once a month)
Northgong Hotel
Illawarra Brewery (with the LAZE crew)

AKA (Sam), Wollongong (LAZE, SNEAK)


AKA

Producer or DJ or Both?

DJ/Hobby Producer.


Describe Your Sound

Eclectic, I love playing all kinds of music. My record crates range from like 100 -140 BPM! From super low slung house all the way through to stomping industrial techno. Needs to be unique, with strange captivating sounds or an undeniable classic groove. I love mechanical sounds, moving synths or dubby soundscapes.


Where you regularly play, or have played

Have played regularly in my home town of Wollongong for the past 3-4 years at most of the venues. Played at a few spots in Sydney, most recently at One22. Did a few stints in Canberra playing for the PANG and Effigy crews. Some of my biggest gigs have been warming up for Oliver Huntemann, Kaiserdisco, and Superpitcher. Currently playing weekly at Illawarra Brewery and at our own events Laze and Sneak.


Favorite Night Spot / Venue

At the moment definitely One22.


Weapon of Choice

Nothing fancy.. Just straight up Vinyl & CD's

Pistolshrimp (Jono), Wollongong




Producer or DJ or Both?

-Been DJ'ing for a few years and with time am slowly working on the producing side of things especially more the deep house nu disco scene.



Describe Your Sound

-The sound i always endeavor to achieve is one that you can really relate to and feel whether you are sober, drunk, under the influence, young or old. I have always been influenced by house and jazz growing up so i am always going to be partial to a very funky liquid vibe yet over this past year i have swayed to the dark side and i am now emphatic about 'Nu disco' and 'G-house' which i think is a space to be watched in Australasia as it has the potential to really take off. In plane simple terms i like to be a cheeky charmeleon i.e play music that people like and can mouth or dance to, the ones people know, but, then at the same time push them to appreciate different, newer even more complementing versions of those originals they grew to like. Then with some other funk sprinkled on top to accent the vibe, like condiments do to a good meal, i think the recipe is set for a fun vibe. If your not talking to your audience with your music you may as well not be there i feel.



Where you regularly play, or have played

-Regularly play between the Five Islands Brewery with "LAZE", North Gong Hotel, Splashes, UOW Uni-Bar, Manly Wharf bar, Mrs Sippy, MEGA nightclub and have played at other venues like The Beach Bar, The Charles Hotel, Blue Note, CBD Hotel and on the 'Easy Life Radio Show' at Fevah FM 


Favorite Night spot / Venue

I really enjoy the North Gong pub in how it is set out well for a good house music setting especially in the summer months, yet i think the Brewery has something special too with the LAZE crew establishing a really good vibe there with some solid house. However in the club scene i think Splashes is arguably one of the more real night clubs in Wollongong in terms of its lay out and acoustics, a big crowd in there is something really special.



Weapon of Choice

-Ive become accustomed to Pioneer and with such reliable equipment i haven't looked anywhere else, my home set up includes CDJ1000's running through a DJM-600 mixer with an EFX1000 for some extra fun. Ableton Live is also a well polished program for production and mixing.
