“This is a remix I did for Westernsynthetics, from the forthcoming “May Day Radio Remixed” album.” – Sofie Loizou

Sub Continental Dub is proud to announce Sydney electronic music producers SOFIE LOIZOU and WESTERNSYNTHETICS performances at the 2012 Outlook Festival this September in Pula, Croatia.

Quoted as “the best four days of bass music in Europe, if not the world” by Resident Advisor, Outlook is the largest dubstep and soundsystem culture festival.

With an expected audience of 10,000 people, and a mammoth line up from the most cutting edge and vibrant electronic music scenes around today, Sofie Loizou and Westernsynthetics will be performing alongside Fat Freddy’s Drop, Skream, Digital Mystikz, Scuba, Kode 9 and many more.

Westernsynthetics was welcomed home by a huge crowd at the 2011 Pyramid Rock Festival, his first Australian performance since returning from Europe. Situated on the beautiful Phillip Island in southern Victoria, Westernsynthetics opened the Festival, performing straight after Rockwiz.

The Pharaoh’s Annex stage was pumping, full of the next generation. A younger crowd of more than 3,000 people, they danced and cheered as Westernsynthetics conducted their first musical journey of the weekend. Dedicating the set to the workers at the festival, his two hour set showcased his own tracks including Australian community radio favourites “80808″, “Workers Dub” and “KMADMG” from the new EP “No Holiday”. Westernsynthetics also spun much-loved tunes from fellow comrades Africa Hitech as well upcoming Victorian producer Kloke.

However, the biggest lure came from the 4 unreleased experimental creations that Westernsynthetics trialed on the system and an unsuspecting crowd. Developed in Berlin, these tracks will be released on the forthcoming Westernsynthetics second album in 2012.

Pyramid Rock Festival 2011 delivered performances from Sydney’s own Westernsynthetics alongside Muscles, Scissor Sisters, The Living End, Hermitude, Gotye, The Herd, Grandmaster Flash, Cloud Control, Salmonella Dub and many more.

No Holiday is released in celebration of Sydney Producer Westernsynthetics performing at the 2011 Outlook Festival. Available exclusively on Beatport and including a free download giveaway at westernsynthetics.net

No Holiday is the follow up EP to the acclaimed May Day Radio album. Recorded in late 2010 at a beach front cottage in the surreal surroundings of Kiama, Southern New South Wales, Australia, the EP contains two fresh cuts clearly displaying the signatory Westernsynthetics aesthetic.

KMADMG (Kiama Dreaming) is a pulsating techno slammer that tips its hat to the roots of dubstep. It contains the familiar yet unique Westernsynthetics stamp of production, with use of analogue FX and layered soundscapes over a huge kick drum. Extreme low sub bass frequencies here!

Title track No Holiday experiments with drone and melodic atmospheres to propel complex drum patterns and layered snares over the thick bass line. No Holiday dabbles with the old school rave genre while morphing through complex progressions and nuanced melodic phrasing.
