Doppel ~ Bassic Records ~ Canberra, Australia
~Doppel Bio~
Before being exposed for the first time to the allure of the limitless creative possibilities in the world of electronic music, Doppel grew up playing rock, metal and the blues, creating an appreciation for hypnotic rhythm and twisting melodies combined with the finer details and the spaces in between.
Now influenced in equal parts by the spacious and psychedelic textures of life in the Australian east coast and the surging sunset to sunrise sounds of global house and techno, he then turned his focus onto the studio, resulting in the Doppel project, a blend of styles; intricate and psychedelic with a focus on deep grooves and luscious soundscapes. A member of the house and techno collective Lotown based in Canberra, he has also just released his debut EP "Blacklight" on Australian techno label, Bassic Records. Recently Doppel has performed live at festivals such as Dragon Dreaming, Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Soliton Drop and Just Chillin’ as well as supporting acts such as Shigeto, Nosaj Thing, Jamie Stevens and Cassian at clubs and outdoor parties around Canberra, Melbourne and the East Coast.

Doppel's debut EP, "Blacklight" displays an array of energy driven basslines, tech house percussion and organic soundscapes, together forming the Doppel sound. The seamless flow mirrors that of the movement of our natural surroundings, a dream state formed from angelic melody and swamping synthesizers. Uplifting atmosphere is felt all the way through, the murmuration of vocals keep the mind connected to the hinted nuance of endless connectivity.
Doppel's unique bush techno and house sound is represented perfectly in each original, the stripped back sound creating focus on the symbolized emotion of each note. Ken Zo's remix plugs in the progressive energy with an earth rumbling bassline and savvy technical groove. The EP finishes with Matt Dwellers take on Blacklight, the influence of Australian and French techno clear from his deep, emotive direction and limitless build ups with subtle synthetic tones.
