Big Oil Cassette

After an extended interval between releases, Data Arts Group owner/operator Document Swell (real name Simon Cotter), presents his first full length LP “Hybrid Emotion”. Document Swell’s first musical contribution to Data Arts Group is also the first vinyl release for the label and brings DAG into the new world of 2022 and beyond. Song-writing, and sound sketches for “Hybrid Emotion” took place over a time span of approximately 5 years in various bedroom studios and life-phases throughout northern Melbourne/Naarm, as well as small setups in the Berlin localities of Templehof and Schöneberg. Arranging and mixing was completed in Northcote, throughout that period of ample time in Melbourne’s Covid lockdowns. The album spans a rich tapestry of ideas and moods which can be perceived as something between Document Swell’s classic playful dance floor style to a more reflective and brooding tone.

Inosphere Cassette

Data Arts Group's second release is an EP by one of the group's founders, inosphere. Within the tracks collated on this self titled EP, the listener will discover a playful balance of basic samples, synthesis and structure that ties together to become something vaguely reminiscent of early British techno and maybe 80's Australian no-wave. inosphere chose to create these songs predominately on early 90's rack samplers such as the Akai s1000 and the EPS 16+, while mixing-down on a Tascam m-1600. Please enjoy.

Big Oil Cassette

Here at Data Arts Group, we're proud to present our first physical piece 'Big Oil'.

Big Oil is a split release created and placed together by local Melbourne electronic artists "Big Yawn" and "Oil". On 'Big Oil' you will find five post-industrial compositions created in the mid-outer suburbs of Melbourne by underground semi-veterans Kinlay Denning, Tim Slattery and Mat Spisbah.

Texture, rhythm, coldness, abrasiveness and dank atmosphere can be descriptors of this release.

You can buy 'Big Oil' on cassette tape (limited quantities of course) or in Digital. Yes the cassette version has a download code!
