ShifteQ, is an adventure into noise that had been in the works for a couple of years and became “ShifteQ” in late 2009. After listening to music of all genres, and never quite hearing something to match that little sound system in his head. Getting inspiration from the Australian bush, nature, people and their weirdness, and the simple everyday sounds we sometimes forget to hear, the ShifteQ ‘project’ was born.
The ShifteQ sound is an ever changing, multi tempo, quirky, bass driven, organic, bombardment of sonic strangeness that can capture you and take you to a place far from where you started. From the Australian east coastal regions, ShifteQ has plunged right in to bring a new light to the ears on dance floors where ever there is a Sub to be rumbled and a System to vibrate even the most unsuspecting ears.
He has supported international acts such as Beats Antique, iLL.Gates, Mimosa, An-Ten-Nae, Dov, Eprom, AudioVoid and Opiou just to name a few…
With influences ranging from Breakbeat, Dubstep, and Glitch, to Hiphop, Downtempo, World music, Experimental, and all out Unusual, ShifteQ brings to the auditory table such a bent, ‘out there’, style, it’s hard to even place. One thing is for sure, with warped frequencies, wonky beats, and an all out auditory massage for the senses, the sound you will hear is definitely going to cause a Shift.
