Doc Scott “The End of The Beginningâ€

Talk to T-Power
If you had told me in 1997 while I was listening to "Mutant Jazz" that ten years later I would be interviewing him the week before his debut performance in Wellington, I would have told you to shut the fuck up.
Original Nation
With summer festivals thin on the ground in 2007 the upcoming "I-Nation" has potential as the new Roots party. Obscure catches up with OG (Oakley Grenell) the inspiration behind the concept.
Brazilian Petrol
So I travel, faster, moving past the queasy memories, racing towards better destinations. I snap photographs, one handed out the dirty windows.
Postcards from Fiji
islands in the sky, islands in the sun. Fiji is a state of mind. A concept in mental placement. Turnstyle drifts through some Obscure holiday thoughts.
Don't stop Dancing
A well established phenomenon in the NZ countryside. These festival fixtures of assembled freaks and the curious. These sound systems, food vendors, marquees, generators and the portaloo.

A mechanism for Turnstyle's latest sonic adventures, the My My Sound System is a mix meltdown of the many styles of electronic music that permeates Turnstyles collection.
