Known for his successful You Are Here series with Derrick Carter at Chicago's legendary Spybar as well as his groundbreaking studio work with Gramaphone's Garrett David, Shmoo launched the leading-edge SHFFT multimedia project as a way to stay active during the global club shutdown. He has also held residencies at Berlin Nightclub, Copa Lounge, East Room, Electric Hotel, Estate, and the infamous Tanto’s. Shmoo’s debut EP on the seminal Love Notes From Brooklyn label has sold out at record stores around the world and has received support from Honey Dijon on BBC Radio 1. He has also been invited as a featured guest on DJ Heather's CHI FI SHOW Twitch live stream. Shmoo is one of only six DJs recently recognized by the City of Chicago's Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for artistic excellence in House music production, promotion, and performance, alongside DJ Lady D, Steve Miggedy Maestro, and Duane Powell. Renowned House music publication 5 Magazine has named Shmoo 'one of the best people working on the scene in Chicago right now' and a 'hometown hero.' Shmoo's remix of Mack Blagic by Groovy Drew on Jason Merle's 4E&A imprint has received support from Carl Cox among others. His release Split Up The Get Go, also on 4E&A, has reached number 2 on Beatport's After Hour Essentials: Deep House chart and number 6 on their Best New Deep House chart.
Throwing out "as is" documentation of a lifelong obsession with creating music.
Equal parts raw and refined, Atomics bring a refreshing blast of indie rock to your ears. With a combination of gritty garage tones, infectious melodies, playful lyrics and creative song arrangement, the fresh and growing Meanjin/Brisbane four-piece is one you certainly wanna keep your eye on. First crossing paths at University in 2019, the group is made up of Joshua Betts (vocals, guitar), Hamish Priest (guitar), Ryosuke Oki (bass) and Rowan Bowyer (drums).
