About me:
A forest spirit now firmly re-embedded in babble-on. City life is going ok, though I'm mainly working on finding ways to live out of the city in the near future.
I still get to spend a lot of time floating up and down the east coast of australia for parties and festivals - sunshine coast, northern nsw, melbourne and cairns are all 2nd homes to me and i wish i had longer time to spend there.... Big ups to all the crews up and down the east coast!
My time mainly gets taken up by web programming work, lecturing multimedia at CQU, djing at bush parties and the occasional indoor gig, organising outdoor music/landcare events through subterran, getting out bush when i can, and currently working on a progressive techno compilation for open records.

Bio:::
Resident of S.E.QLD, Australia, Paul Abad has been active as a dj, promoter and producer for over 10 years. In that time his sets have explored a wide range of genres and movements in the electronic music spectrum. Paul's approach has always been to foremostly collect and play music that inspires and moves him, and to not worry about following trends or fashion in the industry.
These days it's the many flavours of techno grooves at the heart of Paul's musical activities - ranging from progressive techno, harder tribal grooves, k-house, dub-tech, voodoo tech-house and more. Ableton is the format to put it all together - multiple tracks, loops, fx, controllers .. ensuring a multi-layered, seamless and sculptural approach to mixing ... always pushing the boundaries of dj'ing.. Flow, groove, space and progression are key themes in Paul's sets, but of primary importance is the mix - recombining and layering, and responding to an audience.
As a leading exponent of these sounds within Australia, Paul has graced the mainstage of most Australian electronic music festivals - Rainbow Serpent, Cairns Winter Solstice, Earth Freq, Somatica, EarthCore, Secret Sessions, Quantum Relic etc .. and played to audiences in all corners of the east coast of Aus.
Over the years Paul has been chosen to support acts such as Future Sound of London/Amorphous Androgynous, Tipper, Dj Krush, Monolake, Maetrik, Richard Devine, Adam Beyer, Deadbeat, Jeremy Caulfield, Mark Henning, Phoenecia, Bernd Friedman, Antix, Perfect Stranger, Tegma, Phoney Orphants, Luna Spice, Bufo, Krumeler, Kazu Kimura, Thomas Brinkman, FreQ, Aes Dana and more.
Paul is also active as a promoter having organised Subterran Landcare Parties for several years, and also as the driving force behind S.E.QLD's Earth Freq Festival. Since 2007 Paul has represented Open Records and is compiling a release with label mate Solatek, finally due for release in 2010.
Sometimes i see myself as everything.
I call that love.
Sometimes i see myself as nothing.
I call that wisdom.
Between love and wisdom my life flows.
-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Reality is what comes next after now, not in time, but as a manifestation of the directed flow of conscious energy which we are.
-Steven Harrison
Everything that you learn about the world tells you how your brain works also, enabling you to perceive yourself in that which you consider not you. A thorough understanding of this procedure will enable you to change the world by changing yourself.
-zen koan
Glitchy.Tonic.Records presents its first release of three deep, intelligent, some sort of minimal-progressive creations with a dark vibe. Inspired by a lot of australian electronic music, the Cake has developed a unique sound which people describe as quirky, groovy, somehow techy and with a touch of wilderness.

NEW GROSS PROPHET EP ETHIC AVAILABLE ON Fwonk* TOTALLY FREE!
From the site: Gross Prophet returns to Fwonk* with a second EP of intense glitchery, square wave synths and pounding beats, bringing to mind the works of Aphex Twin or Kid 606. The beats stay arhythmic and the production is crisp, distorted and off kilter in all the right places.
