If you hadn’t already heard, the Southern Hemisphere’s summer is in full swing, the beach umbrellas are out, and presale tickets for FreQualizer Presents Hedflux have just gone on sale. Yes seriously.

Doing his part to drive the evolution of breakbeat worldwide, Hedflux integrates thick tech-funk with refined psychedelia to produce a sound characterized by laser-precision engineering, liquid-tight grooves and a visceral, hypnotic energy.

Local Perth party starters FreQualizer are behind this one, so expect plenty of bang for your buck as the night also boasts the likes of Lo-Key Fu performing his storming new live set, FreQualizer resident and ‘Breaking Point’ NSB Radio Host Roxright, electro infused breakbeat duo Beatsmack, and some super-funk flavoured breakbeat jams from Tom Drummond.

With Broken Technology pulling out all the stops for a smashingly successful launch last month, there’s plenty of good reason to dish out credit where it’s due. From here however, it’s full steam ahead into the loosely controlled madness that is the Southern Hemisphere’s summer festival season, and what better way to kick things off than with RTR FMs flagship summer dance and electronic music festival?

With a monster lineup bigger than twenty or more really big things all joined together and fed to an even bigger thing as a high protein dietary supplement, there’ll be something for all breed of electronic music lover at Seriously Sound System this year.

DnB stalwarts Greg Packer and MC Assassin hit the stage together fresh off the back of their latest release: Silent Rain; Lo-Key Fu brings yet another fistful of his all original, dangerously live slamming breakbeat; Cosmo Gets promise a hearty helping of raw beats and improvised funk jam… and that’s just three of the twenty plus acts on show. 

So gather your crew together and start making some suitably cunning plans for 17 December 2011 as there’s little over a week to go, and time seems to fly past a lot quicker around this time of year. Full details – including ticketing & lineup information – can be found over at the Events section of the RTR FM website. Get amongst it!
