Alter Native unite the two ends of the dance music spectrum: the ancient driving rhythms of Africa/Latin America and ultra-modern techno inspired basslines and soundscapes.
Add samples taken from the Australian bush to this formula and we have an eclectic mix of organic and electronic sounds that are guaranteed to inspire minds and motivate dancing feet.
Alter Native are comprised of Justin Wilkinson and Darren Lee on percussion and drum kit, with Ben Whittaker (DJB9) creating live, progressive soundscapes and SFX.
The progress of an Alter Native set takes the crowd on a journey. Slowly evolving, the music builds in intensity and tempo with the addition of sounds and rhythms that climax in an all out driving organic techno beat that has never failed to raise the roof: think Afro-Celt Sound System meets Chemical Brothers.
Our first CD Pioneer Species is now available for $15.
It has 6 tracks to electronic dance music with live percussion, plus samples of native birds and frogs. Plus awesome artwork by Paul Summerfield.
