Taking huge influences from film music, jazz, fusion, electronica, hip-hop, trip-hop, classical, deep house, some pop, Latin, French lounge, reggae and other groove based genres Sharif’s music takes on a multitude of emotion and range. With the obvious dance and electronica influences he tries to integrate different musical elements and sounds into the (at times) melancholic and often funky mix of his music. The music most often doesn’t involve vocals leaving the work open to the individuals own conclusion (however this doesn’t mean that he’s not looking for singers to work with, quite the opposite). Without having a set “style” his music varies depending on his current influences and his headspace at the time.
Seduced by the earlier sounds of Massive Attack (“Protection”, album) Sharif found a deep fondness for the slightly more down-tempo, warm but darker edged sounds of the Bristol trio. Also fascinated by the mixture of acoustic and electronica/ sampled based music blended together.
Sharif has played his music collectively with Dj Cutloose under the combined effort of Cut'n'D (aka Dj Cutloose and Sharif D) at a range of venues, (ie Uber, the Family and Rush lounge etc) gathering positive revues from punters.
Coming from a classical background (clarinet) and later moving onto the saxophone (i.e. jazz and improv) he primarily gigs as a saxophonist and sometimes keyboardist with a range of DJ’s around the local Brisbane circuit. Jamming to various dance and groove based style’s like house (i.e. deep, Latin, commercial and Electro), funk, hip-hop, soul, r’n’b, reggae, dub etc. Whatever comes into the mix he tries to accompany, harmonize, lead treating it as if it were a live group.

Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.

Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
