Supermarket is an experimental dose of original electronic music and imagery, delivered live with equal emphasis. Breakbeats of varying tempo ranging from dub and glitch through to dancehall and drum n’ bass are met with video, animated and celluloid imagery ranging from the abstract to sampled and remixed.

BIOGRAPHY:

While Dan jams out to sequenced beats and collected samples on his retro analogue synthesizers, Em spends her time shooting and cutting visual material- everything from found footage to original celluloid shot in vintage cameras- scratched, manipulated and projected. The end result is Supermarket, a performed fusion of electronic breakbeats and experimental cinema. With beats ranging from dub through to dancehall and drum ‘n’ bass, the instrumental arrangements seek to inspire the imagination and create a timeless sound complemented by tightly edited, interpretive visuals. Drawing from Dan’s roots in old-school funk (leader of Dagman Allstars 1998-2001) and inspired by more recent luminaries such as LTJ Bukem, Adam F, DJ Shadow and London Elektricity, the Supermarket experience strives to be food for the soul and a feast for the senses. Regular faces on the club and arts circuits in South Australia, the Supermarket team’s live audio-visual show launched on November 16, 2007 in Buffalo, New York after a month long artists’ residency there. Tour dates followed in Ontario (Canada), New York, Missouri and Texas. Following over fifty international screenings of prior experimental film work, the music video for ‘Puffinaway’ screened on rage (national Australian free-to-air MTV-esque program) in 2007, and has screened at film festivals in several countries including Cravefest, Canada (where it was a finalist in the electronic/dance/world music category) Optika, Spain and Pantheon Experimental, Cyprus. The pair will be performing around Australia, Canada, the USA and Jamaica in 2008.
