I’ve got a big year planned for Ourobonic Plague. Here’s the first of several releases for 2012, “POST HUMAN POSSIBILITIES.”

http://twicerememberedtwiceremoved.bandcamp.com/album/post-human-possibilities

100 copies are available on CD-r, or you can grab a digital version for a bit less. Released by Twice Removed – a new micro-label based in Perth that has previously released stuff by Craig Mcelhinney and Ryonkt. Hope you dig it.

Hey peeps,

I have been going through my old hardrives and came across a bunch of tunes. Some i’d forgotten that i actually made, but there’s some vibes on these tracks that i think are worth sharing. Unfortunately, I dont have the original project file for them as they were on a laptop which died a sudden and drastic death… or else i’d probably go back and rework/remix or takes parts from them or whatevs… These tunes were the fortunate ones in making it off that laptop!

Anyway, checkout the player to cop some free dl’s. Hope y’all enjoy!

Orrite kids, It’s time to share!

About ‘Many Faces’ :

The Many Faces of femme fatale.

Striking colours and shapes embellish her beauty and sexual allure, and worn as an extrovert armour she is seemingly assertive. Her physical appearance is manifest in a balance between Masculine and Feminine characteristics which both strong jaw line and high cheek bones reveal. Historical insinuations of the Military-esque hat or Goddess-like hairstyles inform the choice of role-play for a variety of social occasions.

This print series is the inaugural result of my visual inquiry into Ego Masks; from the Magical Mystery tour that is my art practice and ah, life. Tune in for more.

Just got back from  Europe and managed to check out the  Venice Biennale for the first time, which is a massive International arts festival held every 2 years since 1895. It’s an amazing showcase of some of the best contemporary art the world has to offer, which you often don’t get a chance to see in little ol’ Perth.

With so many great artworks its hard to pick favourites, but I thought I’d share some photos here of standout pieces.

I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday season and safe passage into 2012.

Here’s a couple remixes I’ve completed recently, both are available to download for free:

Skanna – Find Me [vishnu remix]

2011 was a great year and I’m looking forward to what this year entails…

Some highlights for me this year were..

Travelling/Hanging out and Touring Europe/KL

Supporting DJ Krush to a packed crowd, plus a bunch of other great gigs

Revamping my live set, and finally converting to the Macbook world

Changed my name for most projects to Able8

Writing new tunes with overseas artists like Black Cracker, Benny Diction, Beit Nun and MC Points

Expanding Uncomfortable Beats from a one-man operation, into a small team of awesome people

I also managed to finish a remix for Wermonster (Berlin) by Christmas and that should be released soon, and a track I did with Black Cracker (NYC) is hopefully being released for free with VICE Magazine (US) as an exlusive.. So I’m fairly excited for that!

2012 and my plans for world domination…
