Nexus featuring BLINKY [LIVE]
After a decade of classical music training, a natural progression towards producing dance music was a result of Bill Hunter’s desire to have autonomous control over the music he was aspiring to make. Beginning at such a young age has given Bill the opportunity to thoroughly learn the art of producing and through lengthy devotion to music, his natural talent has become obvious.
One of Melbourne’s most notable young producers and live performers under the moniker Blinky, he has proceeded to gain a cult following with his energetic live shows. With a live act comprised of his laptop, midi controller, and synths and his signature antics, Blinky has become a feature attraction of many events regularly playing the likes of Earthcore, Rainbow Serpent, Trance Energy, Kiss My Grass and more intent on doing things on his terms and not willing to compromise saw Blinky hold of on realeasing any music until finally in August 08 he released the "There's A Jesus In My Nectarine EP", the premier release on his imprint BeatGeek Records. The release received critical acclaim and along with his remix of Kultrun's "Drift Away" his work has recieved support from the likes of Andy Moor, The Flash Brothers, Matt Rowan, Dumb Dan, Dubfire, Elke Kleijn, DJ Vibe, M.O.D.E. and
even a look in from Armin Van Buuren as well as featuring heavily on the charts of some of the major download stores.
Over the years Blinky has aided in unearthing and showcasing local talent by means of Melbourne’s Kiss FM radio station. also entitled Beat Geek, a weekly showcase of music Melbourne and Australia made music, Blinky has presented a blend of upcoming music producers and also shared his own unique tunes on a weekly basis.
In between playing at gigs like Earthcore Global Music Festival and Kiss My Grass and supporting international acts like Infected Mushroom, Andy Moor, Meat Katie and Martin Roth, Blinky has also found the time to run a club night in collaboration with Melbourne DJ Ben Evans, the two have experienced overwhelming acclaim with their regular Interview parties and have also had the honour of running Melbourne’s Gatecrasher 2006 party.
Whether it be live, in the studio or on radio, Blinky is undeniably a working part of Melbourne’s fast paced dance music scene. Already garnering vast success with Beat Geek Records, Interview and his live performances and releases, 2009 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Blinky with current talks with labels in Germany, Australia and Sweden all looking to collaborate with Blinky not to mention whispers of a new label headed up by the man himself - at this stage there seems to be no end to the Blinky saga.
