OKA
Embracing the future without losing sight of the past, OKA draws upon their indigenous connection to place and country to create their signature feel good Australian earth sound, an irresistible blend of influences spanning house, big beat, reggae-dub, Roots, Jazz and world music. A mashup of dance & downtempo electro beats marinated in the mystical spirit of the Dreamtime.

At the creative heart of the music is Stu Boga Fergie (aka DidgeriSTU) who connects you to earth with the deep subsonic pulse and resonance of his Yidaki (didgeridoo). He is the big man behind the electronic beats, keys & vocals inspired by his aboriginal heritage.

The OKA Collective includes captivating melody on guitar, sax, flute & woodwinds woven through organic juju beats of deep tribal fire. A sound & force that touches the heart & connects the soul.

TIJUANA CARTEL

Finding their feet in the 1990s underground venues of the Gold Coast, Tijuana Cartel have honed their live set on some of Australia’s biggest stages dishing up an east meets west wonderland for those seeking sensory overload, euphoria, fat beats and heavy, bass-fuelled electronica.

Tijuana Cartel’s sound is high-energy, guitar-driven, world music for indie kids. 2020 saw the world thrown into an unexpected shutdown. For Tijuana Cartel’s duo of writers – Paul George and Carey O’Sullivan – it meant one thing – recording! Tucked away in their respective studios, the duo sent each other music, occasionally meeting in person with the other band members dropping in, and such – the long-awaited new album was finished.

Finally, a new world dawned, and people were keen to dance. Tijuana Cartel are well aware and have curated their new album ‘Acid pony’ with that fact in mind.
