I listen and to and play far too much music for my own good, Keep putting on parties when I'm far too busy, and generally drink more beer in a week than is recomended by most doctors.
Apart from holding down a job, in the 'real' world I also instigate and generally try to co-erce people into getting loose at parties such as MELT, The Goodness and liquidBASS. Usually with some measure of success !!!
I also co-host a radio show called Electronic Goodness on Brisbane's independent community radio station 4zzz (102.1fm for those who don't know).
I also sporadically run a mailing list that makes an attempt at keeping track of a number of high quality local underground and independent dance music happenings.

Orinoko Bio – LONG 2008
Techno grooves, beats n basslines. Dirty haus, techno and minimal. From an early age music has always been a central part of Orinoko, aka David Ince’s life. From borrowed mix tapes recorded at early Brisbane raves to his first set of turntables in the early nineties the discovery of dance music set him on the course you see before you today. An early interest in Hardcore and the Rave scene was diverted by a chance discovery of Detroit techno at a rave whilst traveling the UK and Europe. Eight hours of Juan Atkins, Kevin Saunderson and Blake Baxter and Orinoko was hooked, spending the next few months devouring as much techno as possible. Once back in Australia, he took to the decks and started to learn the skills and music that have driven him to this day. The early days in Nth Qld consisted of throwing and playing at free parties everywhere and anywhere, from the inner city to the middle of nowhere, warehouses to dried creek beds and the tops of mountain ranges. This DIY ethic led to a chance encounter one blurry morning with dj Shadrach and Phreakin Productions was born. A string of residencies and club nights followed over the next 2 years with a number of successful parties and nights and a sound that nurtured a Nth Qld dance scene that has continued from strength to strength today.
In 1999 a move to Brisbane was undertaken and a long road of instilling himself on an already vibrant underground scene, one of the pinnacles of which was a year and a half long residency on Saturday nights at Brisbane’s underground sound lounge Mantra (circa 2001). He then went on to co-host and promote a series of rocking parties such as liquidBASS (2002-2006), MELT (2005 – present) and The Goodness (2005 – present – free party power!!), all showcasing the techno, minimal and house sound to the Brisbane scene.
Along the way have been numerous sets supporting the majority of Techno style internationals that have passed through Brisbane and a heavy involvement running and managing the 'liquidBASS vs DROP' stage at both the 2005 and 2006 Earthcore QLD Global Carnivals.
Orinoko also co-hosts ‘Electronic Goodness’ a purely electronic based radio show on Brisbane’s community radio station 4zzz, every Saturday night, peaktime from 8 – 10pm.
