1. Music. To make a transition directly from one section or theme to another
2. To move smoothly and unhesitatingly from one state, condition, situation, or element to another
Dance music production units often choose intentionally abstract monikers, but for Segue the name is an apt description of both their union and musical philosophy. This merger of Brisbane scene veterans Leo Hede and Dave Dri only took shape in early 2006, yet already Segue are being touted as the next live act to break out of Brisbane and into the national clubbing consciousness.
Not that Hede and Dri are unfamiliar with rocking massive crowds on a regular basis. As part of electro-tech duo Statler & Waldorf, Hede has released a critically acclaimed EP and album, remixed Sarah Blasko, scored high-rotation on Triple J and played massive festivals such as Big Day Out and Earthcore Global Carnival. Dri also has a wealth of experience, pounding the east coast of Australia with respected breaks collective Superfluid on the back of album releases on seminal Australian label Creative Vibes before undertaking a solo tour of Europe in 2004 which saw him become the first Australian to perform at Serbia’s celebrated Exit Fest.
Sensing a musical change in the wind and recognising the growing similarities between the music they were producing as solo entities, the duo put together an improvised set at an outdoor event on a Queensland beach in late 2005. The pair’s fusion of progressive techno and broken electro blended immediately, and thus Segue was born.
Since announcing their arrival in 2006 Segue have rapidly made an impact on the Brisbane club scene, due in part to their monstrous live performance rig. With two laptops, synths, samplers, MIDI controllers and FX units all triggered live on stage, let alone the synchronised live visuals rig with VJ Jaymis, Segue are willing to walk the tightrope in the live arena where some of their higher profile contemporaries baulk at performing without a safety net. “It’s the eternal and much argued balance between risk and self indulgence” Dri says, and reaction to their sets so far suggests the risk is paying off big time.
Already they have chalked up praised performances as in demand support act for UK dirty-house duo King Unique, Canberra progressive house prodigy Jaytech and Brisbane breakbeat veterans Soma Rasa. The variety of the acts seeking their energetic show is as good an indication as any of the scope of their musical exploits and has been built upon on by their repeat headline antics at iconic Brisbane events such as DROP (Moon Bar) and Plexus (Shamrock).
DJ reaction to their tracks has also been positive with ‘Setlist’ inhabiting the crates of local favourites Scott Walker and Valli Lee; ‘Dirty’ and ‘Cronies’ a mainstay of the likes of Nat Monaghan and ‘Grind’ featured on the ITM podcast on inthemix.com.au. Unsurprisingly the remix offers have flooded in with the discs and drives queuing up to receive the Segue treatment, building upon their reputation as providers of sly "DJ tools" and "bonus beats".
With their release schedule taking shape and an interplanetary assault already afoot, Segue are more than just a blip on the radar. What started life as a side-project is now clearly the real deal.
we've got some new sounds in our player worth checking out maybe.
we've also changed our b-sides to a page for collaboration only. we put up a new old remix there of 'october wastelands' by Carl Jürgens. Maybe you've heard it before, but it's worth a second listen.
