Music
OKA's music brings musical traditions and cultures together - ancient and modern - black and white. The traditional rhythms and stories of DidgeriSTU's Yadaki (didgeridoo) weave throughout pumping electronic beats, vocals, exotic woodwinds and world percussion - a unique fusion of organic world sounds and electronic music like no other.
Happy Daze was recorded by Michael Bates at Nomad Digital Studios in the Byron Bay Hinterland during 2006 and released in 2007. With nearly three years since the release of his last album, Juzzie has used the time to continually refine his sound and further develop a unique songwriting style.

"Life Like Liquid" is an exploration into the creative realms of surfing, sound creation and fluid living. Filmed from Dave Rastovich's unique perspective, the story loosely documents what happens when a group of sonically inclined surfers come together with no other intention than to ride sound waves, ocean waves and record the thrill of the ride.

Welcome to Band of Frequencies new album, 'Sol Train'. Created by Shannon Sol R. Carroll, Oj Newcomb & Mark Henman, this album offers a great selection of original sounds from a collective of musicians that have been making very fluid sound waves. Their sound is a rootsy concoction of rock 'n' soul, electric guitar and drum driven psychedelic journeys, acoustic ambient jams and laid back grooves fit for a Sunday arvo on the verandah. If you like roots music and an earthy mix of sonic styles then this album is a must.
Solo Alternate Roots powerhouse, Dallas Frasca, didnt start singing until she was 19 years old. Ten years on, Frascas mighty soul-voice resonates through venues, stereos, and radio stations across Australia. Frasca has sung in an array of bands from metal to funk. Her passion and the natural gutsy tone in her voice always lead her back to roots music. Frasca became an original member of Blues-rock band Trevors House.
