Astral Flex: (est. 2019), are Melbourne’s tech-heavy, retro-futuristic, electroacoustic improvisation outfit. Recently established by jazz musician Felix Meredith, the band’s distinctive genre-breaking grooves have been making their way across the south side of Melbourne, improvising live sets that play out as an album for live audiences, and now, for you the listener.
'I can see my house from here' is to be included on Astral Flex’s self-produced debut release, recorded on the 50th anniversary of man’s first step on the moon.

On-Ly, Australian producer and pianist, has carved out a heavily groove-centric aesthetic and currently the On-Ly Band as the harbinger of these sounds bring groove and funky psychedelic frequencies blended thick with the underground sounds of Melbourne's young culminated jazzy fusion, beat, house and instrumental scenes; features Bryce Zelno on Drums, Henry Hicks on Guitar, Carl Lindeburg on Bass and On-Ly on Keys and Synths.

JK Group: The band features a rotating lineup of musicians from Melbourne’s eclectic jazz scene with a shared musical vision - music that openly draws on modern production styles and influences, while paying a deep respect to history. The sound is at once jazz, bebop and polyrhythmic funk with cues from house and broken beat. They sit in the crossover of raw, live jazz and electronic/dance production. At times synth-heavy, effected and soundscapey, while at other times hard hitting groove laden with spiritual jazz overtones and no-holds-barred improvising. JK Group are set to release their debut LP in early 2020 on La Sape.

Antiphon: have blended the lines between the old, new, and yet to come under a cacophony of creative rhetoric, abolishing the expectations of a nu-jazz trio. Innovation and experimentation are the heart of this band. Originally a duo, Melbournes Moodymann Horatio Luna met synth wizard Cory Balloch and bombastic drummer Matt Bush in early 2019. Since then, the trio have released a debut EP featuring boldly experimental compositions and performing wild improvised sets regularly.

Foshe: Blending house music and meditative soundscapes with heavy, afro/latin-inspired, polyrhythmic grooves, the Foshe sound is raw, soulful, funky and 100% improvised.

Proto Moro: Are a psychedelic jazz fusion band from Melbourne. 1 year old and coming in hot..

Big Chief: As one of the original 30/70 collective side projects, Big Chief, along side Another Batch, Allysha Joy and Leeroy James and the Nu-Jazz Renegades, released the first EP in 2015 whilst researching micro-timing in modern soul music at the Victorian College of the Arts. Big Chief is the brainchild of Horatio Luna and is the first iteration of his jazz/house experiments exploring improvisational devices in house music. This rotating studio band features local jazz house heads Thhomas, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Joel Trigg and punk-jazz legend Chris Lewis (percussionist of Bohjass). The name is in reference to Horatio Luna’s family in Vanuatu and his connection with the islands where he grew up swinging from coconut trees.
