about
Men Imitating Machines (AUS) take live drums, bass and guitar and turn them on their ear. Jarman Donohue (10100010010110101) and Matty O’Brien (01001101001000011101011) play 100% live electronic sounds built with the foundations of bass heavy beats, huge riffs and infectious electro vibes. The boys use a MIDI bass, MIDI guitar and MIDI drums hooked up to a computer, shaping a sound totally on the fly with live visuals. NO CHEATING! This coupled with a gobsmacking light show by Tommy Gunn, wild stage antics, crowd heckling and a dislike of shoes makes them a thing of robotic beauty!
Turn It Around is a track that developed from the idea that modern electronic music need not be constrained by its gate keeper - the click track. The click track began to be used in recordings with the coming of synthesizers and the sequencers which were used to drive them. Turn It Around is an electronic song recorded completely without the sequencer or click track, lending from the variable tempo’s adopted by classic artists like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin but driven by modern bass and dance rhythms.
Turn it Around is the first single off the forthcoming album.
‘This sound,
I’m on the ground,
My head in the clouds,
Turning around.’

Nothing is known about the artists behind this first release of breakbeat electronic from the mysterious UK label. And that's on purpose. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 7, 2021
With songs that run from dizzying drum & bass to eerie, spacious electronics, “Zawadi” is an artful, boundary-pushing record. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 27, 2016
