Peret Mako's music is highly textured, crafted with a love of detail and subtlety.
Studying Jazz saxophone since the age of 11, which took him to the Canberra School Of Music, he brings a players perspective to electronic composition; adding nuance and dynamics to his sounds through delicate production and mixing techniques.
Lured to Sydney by the Techno seen in 93 Peret immersed himself in all forms of music in the genre ignorant environment of day.
As a professional DJ since 1995; focused on scratching, Hip Hop and labels like Mo-Wax and Clear, Peret DJ'ed along side local talents such as Simon Caldwell, Ken Cloud and was Co resident with the much missed Illpikle at the Globe for over two years. Peret has also supported the likes of Charles Webster, Chris Duckenfield, Theo Parrish, DJ Krush, Mix Master Mike, Blackalicious, Cash Money and Craze as well as playing saxophone for Jamie Lidell's live show in Sydney.
His production and mixing skills have seen him adding his touch to the music of Alphatown Collective, Nick Thayer, Little Beasties and Bass Kleph with whom he wrote the much playlisted Like Abort Juan in 2003.
As a remix artist Peret has disassembled songs for Swag, Little Beasties, Deepchild, Kidzen, Prop, Nick Thayer and Multiball - his remix for the latter being nominated for a DMA award.
Scoring the music and performing every night as part of the stage set for Sydney Theatre Companies production of Mr Kolpert Peret violently attacked a spring reverb for the final death scene which often left him partially covered in fake blood!
After attending the Redbull Music Academy in Rome in 2004 he set to work mixing his debt album The Devil's In The Detail; the result of years of practice and interaction with music. Though a devoted hip hop fan, PM was never comfortable with the idea of sampling other musicians work, preferring a handmade approach. The techniques that evolved from these sonic meanderings form the basis of Peret's sound; letting experimentation guide his composition; Peret's obsessive personality playing straight into the hands of some squiggly synths and forgotten samplers. What was born is a finely crafted, rich, orchestral album - like Ravel and Mingus having a sound system battle over what oceans sound like. The influences of Hip Hop, Techno, Jazz and DEEP House, amongst many others, are woven into highly personalised style. The sounds cascade over each other causing the album to reveal itself over multiple listens; the details coming to life under the warm hug of a nice set of headphones!
