Matterhorn & Strange Behaviour are proud to bring you Inkswel, the king of new school boogie, for an exclusive live set and DJ performance in Wellington.
Former b-boy and self-confessed ‘drum-machine obsessive’ Inkswel first popped his locks down under in Australia, where he began life as one Jules Habib, but his cosmopolitan outlook on music and life has taken him places, of late: he’s now as at home in London and Amsterdam as in Melbourne and Adelaide, all cities where he has put in studio time. The Amsterdam connection was particularly fruitful, with early productions for Rush Hour subsidiary Boogie Bash immediately causing ripples in 2011. A spate of remixes followed, for projects as diverse as ‘lost’ soul-men Darwin’s Theory (for Lotus Land) , as well as new dance producers/artists including Japan’s (and house music’s) best-kept secret Rondenion, Moscow deep house revivalist Lay-far, American Tevo Howard (for Italian label Rebirth), Turkey’s Onur Engin, Tiago (for Kinfolk), Alena (for ISM)and Belgian synth-pop duo Maseratay – an outernational roll-call of some of the hippest releases of the past few years. Then, another slew of releases under his own name: the Ginseng Root EP on Dopeness Galore, with collaborative medicine from Tom Trago & Benny Badge; a ten-inch single that came out as part of cult UK label Firecracker’s Unthank series, featuring Chico Mann and Funkineven; and, reminiscent of his mix-tape roots, the mutant-house mini album Australaborialis on Faces/MCDE, the title track of which was featured on Brandt Brauer Frick’s 2014 DJ KICKS compilation on K7. There was also the release of a left field techno track on Rush Hour’s ‘Store Only’ series, now sold out and only available on Discogs. The track 'Circle Jerks' from the same release was also included on Luke Solomon's “Unfinished Business” compilation.
