While Dan jams out to sequenced beats and collected samples on his retro analogue synthesizers, Em spends her time shooting and cutting visual material- everything from found footage to original celluloid shot in vintage cameras- scratched, manipulated and projected. With beats ranging from dub through to dancehall and drum n bass, the instrumental arrangements seek to inspire the imagination and create a timeless sound complemented by tightly edited visuals. Drawing from Dan’s roots in old-school funk and inspired by more recent luminaries such as LTJ Bukem, Adam F, DJ Shadow and London Elektricity, the Supermarket experience strives to be food for the soul and a feast for the senses.

Regular faces on the club and arts circuits in South Australia, the Supermarket team's live audio-visual show launched in Buffalo, New York in November 2007, and has since toured the USA and Canada twice, and appeared at numerous events in Australia including the Adelaide Fringe Festival and Sydney Underground Film Festival. Supermarket is currently performing around their hometown of Adelaide, while forging collaborations with young local artists and recording their debut DVD/CD album, slated for early 2009 release.

Emerging South Australian talent that Supermarket has sighted for collaborations include jazz singer Ilyana Lucchesi and the Style High Club MCs.
