***ARTIST SPOTLIGHT***
FERGUS SWEETLAND’S
MANCHESTER DEBUT
NYE PARTY
Fergus’s sound is guided by fundamental human instincts of groove and rhythm. He blends moods, textures, and atmospheres to craft unique contemporary techno. Fergus represents the Australian techno scene, a scene he’s committed to highlighting on the global stage. Fergus started Bomphcast in 2015. The podcast and label encourages artists, from Australia and abroad, to take complete control with their creative, integral, and expressive visions. Bomphcast stands for quality, for pushing techno into strange new places and sticking to a vision. Music has been a constant through Fergus’ life. His education began from a young age as his Mum played a wide range of genres. Fergus’ music found a home on Hayes Collective with his self-titled EP in 2020. The EP, with remixes by VIL and Rene Wise, helped spread his name across Europe. He continues to release on Hayes as well as Melbourne labels Connection Verified, Codec Recordings and his own Bomphcast Audio label. To date Fergus’s music has been played by the likes of Answer Code Request, DVS1, Rødhåd, Kwartz, Dustin Zahn, Marcal, Rene Wise, Ben Sims, KiNK, Border One, FLAWS, Decoder, Laura van Hal, Autrane, and Setaoc Mass to name a few.
