Subject:: [idm] Sydney IDM scene info?

I've recently relocated to Sydney, and need to spend some time scouting out the local IDM scene. I've found www.snarl.org, browsed the Rotator Locator for local shops, browsed some of the free magazines in some of the record shops... Any other recommendations for clubs, CD/record shops, or Australian mail-order outlets?

Seconding the recommendation that Peter gave elsewhere for 'Frigid' in Surry Hills on a Sunday. IDM-wise it's not all it should be, but it is virtually all there is in Sydney. Farben performed there in November last year and Thug was there in October. It also occasionally provides an arena for more experimental electronica (e.g. David Toop and Oren Ambarchi - depping for an indisposed Scanner - in April). Watch out for an evening involving Thug and Sense in June. alan/beyond...sound Quoting Richard Barnett <richard.barnett@pobox.com>:

Hi Richard, I'm a Sydney resident. Welcome! I'd say that, related to www.snarl.org, it's well worth popping down to the Hopetoun on a Sunday evening to check out Frigid, which Sub Bass Snarl run. Great chill-out club in a nice pub. There's plenty else happening. Red Eye is certainly the shop to visit, but there are various other IDM-friendly places - Disc in Paddington for one. Hate to blow my own trumpet at all, but if you get a minute, have a listen at Red Eye or something to the 2CD remix project I put together for my band FourPlay, which features a 26-track lineup of Australian electronic artists, of whom the majority are from Sydney (some from Melbourne + Adelaide as well). It's called Digital Manipulation - www.fourplay.com.au/remixes/. A few idm-listers on that too ;) Includes Tim Koch/Thug, Pimmon, Black Lung, etc... Australia has some excellent electronic music happening at the moment, a very healthy and growing scene. Outside of Sydney, but the best record store in Australia is definitely Synaesthesia in Melbourne - check out www.synrecords.com. Mark distributes a fair lot of the more experimental end of the spectrum to shops like Red Eye and various others, but if you go to Melbourne you must check out the store, in the middle of the city. He does mail order too. Other than Synaesthesia, we're very lucky to have Inertia music (www.inertia-music.com distributing a huge array of fab o/s labels, including Planet Mu, Rephlex, Mille Plateaux and lots more. So we get quite a lot of o/s stuff at local prices pretty much on time with their o/s release dates. Sadly, Warp and Ninja Tune are both distributed by Creative Vibes, who think they're oh so special but aren't terribly good at getting things out on time. Especially with Warp, who they picked up about a year ago, they've been pretty bad at getting the smaller releases, and 12"s and stuff, at all. Still, that stuff isn't too hard to find either.
