Saturday Sessions is back after demolishing the Birdee Num Num’s beer garden when the Saturday Sessions crew took on the Sunday Roast in August, with a bumper lineup worthy of Valley Fiesta celebrations! Headlining proceedings in September are Brisbane breakbeat legends Bitrok. Saturday Sessions will also be holding a fundraiser on the day which will go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
A chance meeting at the front of a massive Aussie festival crowd has lead to this breakbeat collaboration of endless potential. Both with backgrounds in classical instrumentation & electronic production, and possessing an uncannily similar musical pedigree, the decision for Ryan Dickinson and Ollie Bowler to begin collaborating on tunes came easily. Ryan was djing as The Score holding down residencies at the Family and The Empire in Brisbane, whilst Ollie was cutting his teeth mixing at the Moon bar and having some success on Triple J radio with his earlier productions.
In the two years to follow Bitrok have been keeping very busy, and in November 06 their track Groovin (feat. Root Words) was signed to Danny Macmillans new London-based 'PACKMusic' label & released nationally on a compilation CD called 'circuit breaker', their bootleg remix of Underworld/Two Months Off was picked up for international release and the pair were commissioned to remix Beta's latest single Come again. This remix sat at the top of the djdownload beats and breaks chart for weeks following its release, seeing support from all corners of the globe and across different genres.
Soon after Bitrok found themselves with a page 8 write-up in the UK’s ‘Djmag’, the article titled ‘Gotta Be Big’ which propelled them onto the international stage – backed with a DJ mix packed full of their latest productions. They then went on to have their latest tunes picked up for global release across a host of labels around the world including Title Fight, Dead Famous and Erase Records.
Devouring all manner of influences and styles from minimal to big-beat whilst sounding off a funk-fuelled, hip-hop loaded futuristic aural assault, Bitrok handles the future sound of breakbeat with a distinctly Australian touch. A-list support from the likes of Meat Katie, Elite Force, Rennie Pilgrem and General Midi has helped them gather a strong underground following both locally and abroad, creating a blistering momentum aided further by an exciting live show.
Bitrok will be treating the Saturday Sessions faithful with an exciting decks-n-fx set, and will be supported on the day by Shifty Productions own Butterz, Mike Redfern (Logic), Rikki Newton (Family/Subtrakt), Jason Morley (Family), Danny T (Monastery), local deep house guru Adam Swain, Steve Tamsitt of Lektrolux fame, as well as Saturday Sessions residents Nick T, Brad Smede and Chappo.
This month Saturday Sessions will be raising funds to be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. While there will still be no door charge on the event, we ask all guests to donate a gold coin on entry.
Doors open at midday.
