THE FORMANT : A SPACE BETWEEN INTERVIEW

6/24/2017

The Formant recently interviewed me about the creative process behind the Rainflow EP.

Rainflow is a change in approach for DROX, one that sees him move away from the contrapuntal raw machine music made for dancing we’ve come to know from the Australian producer and step into ideas of atmosphere and an aural feeling. “There’s definitely that feel — well for me anyway — of that idea of background noise and things in the distance which is what I was trying to convey,“ explains Adrian. It comes together through four magnificent tracks that progress with the ease of a Sunday morning, enveloped in a wispy, fragile atmosphere that crunch just beneath the surface. Like the sound of rain filling every moment of silence, Rainflow bounds with a distant noise, filling in the gaps between the beats as drum machines and synthesisers pulse with repetition like a mantra.

A mainstay of Sydney's techno and electro scene for more than twenty years, Drox has earned the respect and love of fans and has carved out an imposing yet super humble etching on the local scene.

Drox’s DJing style can be described as heavily influenced by electro, raw machine music, industrial and bass music in all its many forms. His sound embodies a spontaneous charm that nods to early 90s Detroit machine music, rich IDM sounds, and dystopian sci-fi tones.

His intelligent approach has led to him playing at some of Sydney and Australia's most well-respected clubs/events, both as a headliner and as a support act for international artists such as Hieroglyphic Being, Buzz Kull, Assembler Code and Reptant among others.

He has also received international recognition, being invited to play in East London’s Hobby Horse along with providing mixes for Serotonin Records in New York, Dark Science Electro in Colorado, Hjärngymnastik in Sweden, and Cyber Domain in the UK/Germany.

Other stops on his musical travels have included Melbourne, Brisbane, and a livestream for The Advent’s techno-club.net virtual club.

Drox is an accomplished producer, his tracks have earned praise from Vince Watson, Iron Curtis, DJ Bone and Neville Watson for his productions along with with releases on Datadisk, Natural Expressions, Nightime Drama, Crobot Muzik and his Analog Cabin label among others.

He has been invited to lecture on at the Australian Institute of Music and the Analog Cabin recording studio has been featured in Audio Technology Magazine, Red Bull and the German-language SynMag synthesizer magazine.

Later this year Drox is launching a new vinyl label: Delphic Iris in collaboration with Berlin based 16 Faces, as an outlet for for their productions launching in both Berlin and Sydney.
