Fergus Sweetland Melbourne Fergus Sweetland - Producer + DJ Bomphcast Co-founder: www.bomphcast.com BIO: Fergus Sweetland is a Melbourne based producer and DJ who's invested himself in electronic music since 2007. Since then, Fergus has probed various genres and influences, especially techno music. His early exploration into the structure and rhythms of house music taught him valuable lessons in production. Fergus' focus changed from house to techno after experiencing Marcel Dettmann's set at Rainbow Serpent. Consequently, he has since devoted his time to techno, both producing, DJ'ing and performing works of the genre. Currently, he is involved in managing the Melbourne based podcast 'Bomphcast' and performing as a live techno and production duo, Back Burners. This act, performed with his close friend Tillman Schäuble, explores a darker side of techno with modulars sounds and intricate rhythms which Fergus creates using the Roland TR8. His DJ set's are a sonic experience which delve into layerings of sounds, hypnotic rhythms and soundscapes while maintaining a forceful and impacting low end beat and groove. Having played at Strawberry Fields (2015), Stoney Roads events and for collectives such as Bunker and Stranger as well as supporting acts such as Anthony Parasole, Rebekah, Subjected, Fergus Sweetland is a tributary to techno culture in Melbourne whose momentum is quickly gaining.
