Featured Guest

Consulate is the musical project of West Australian Alex Campbell. Based in Perth, his experimental techno sonics are influenced by football culture, Cold War dread, jungle, EBM, East European ultras, breakbeat hardcore and militarism.

The mix isn’t intended for dancefloors and isn’t necessarily an accurate representation of what a Consulate DJ set might sound like – rather a ‘mood board’ of my influences, arranged to create a certain emotional feeling and aesthetic.

Martial drum patterns, psychedelic ambiance and pummeling techno intended to disquiet the listener and encourage them to visualize imagined images for accompaniment.

In the fading embers of 2015 I heard the Portals Editions released Black Narcissus, and it blew me away. So much so I had to reach out and invite Campbell onto the show. The result of which is tonight’s guest session, and what a session to open 2016 with.

From tip to tail, purely fantastic.
