Bent Intent

Pete Blay is the creative force responsible for the sonic meanderings of Bent Intent - hailing from the Walsh River, Australia.

For over 25 years Pete has been performing & promoting events Australia wide - notably working with the Freeform Collective to create the infamous Winter Solstice Festivals in Far North Queensland. As propagator of Irukandji Collective, he is currently working on bringing Homebass events to North QLD in a collaboration with Whomp Music.

Pete's live project - 'Bent Intent' - combines open soundscapes, sneaky rhythms, acoustic elements & evolving synthesis. Bent Intent follows the 'less is more approach', revelling in the spaces in between - to create an original and distinct fusion of chilled and world beats, with smatterings of dub, downbeat & triphop.

Bent Intent DJ sets drop into the next gear - expect slabs of midtempo bass, halftime, dub & wobble tailored for the dancefloor - and his side project 'Quinkan' is quickly gaining a reputation for straight up, elongated, no frills bush techno. A turntablist from day one, his performances fuse analog with digital, utilising a Phase & Serato setup alongside vinyl.

Pete has performed at many major festivals including Rainbow Serpent, Earth Frequency, Cairns Eclipse 2012, Dragon Dreaming, Maitreya, Freakreation, Cairns Winter Solstice, Orin Aya, NYX, Rootbound, Kuranda Roots, Bushweek, Zero DB, Collaborations & Coalescence.
