Wombat

 

 

First, the track Ride Control, the birth of a new Australian marsupial. Second, and more recently, was the much-anticipated release Helo, an attitude-filled stormer for clubs and outdoors alike that is currently being remixed by fellow Australian master Kasey Taylor.

 

Both tracks featured on Open Records compilations and have received great feedback from DJs, artists and critics world-wide. Now clear of the fledgling undergrowth, the Wombat is free to go where it wishes, with wide-open spaces ahead.

2008 sees new tracks like Rush Hour on Iboga Records come to the fore; followed by a new EP on Open Records in the final part of the year. All are promising convergences of minimal infused progressive and progressively infused techno, signaling the way forward - and beyond - for future releases. A freeform, multi-genre full-length album could be seen in the following year, if one watches closely.

Wombats aren’t known for their deep understanding of the music business, nor for their cunningly written biographies. What they are known for is their ineffable desire to go their own way, slowly and surely. A wombat is a wombat, you see; it makes no apologies.
