HISTORY: ERTHER comes bubbling up like black blood through cracked mud..washing away the dust of years from this place.
ERTHER has been into music since 1977 and making various forms of music since 1980..starting with a synthesizer and a tape deck and listening to Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, John Foxx, early Ultravox etc..
Then moving onto guitar and a 4 track and started listening to Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Blue Oyster Cult, The Doors etc then found James Brown and Miles Davis..playing everything from Blues, Jazz and Funk to DeathMetal (started a band with members of Misery).
But the combination of the need to compromise artistic visions with bands and finding revived interest in electronic music upon hearing Goldie's "Inner City Life" resulted in a major shift sideways to solo electronic endeavours.
ERTHER has recorded 2 CDs for the Perth band "Silent Majority" and a 6 Track EP for Local Brisbane band "The Unnerved" @ ERTHER Studios and is available for recording ($ negotiable).

ERTHER now produces breakbeat laden tracks for the dance floor and the mind ceiling.

ERTHER DJ's a wide variety of DrumnBass, Breaks and Downtempo Chill to suit almost any Gig. ($ negotiable)

REVIEWS
Mothertech: "mothertech is one of those spacey tunes that seems almost ambient in nature although it's drum 'n bass with killer beats. the addition of dark styled vocals add a menacing tone to this track about technology as a virus that kills life. it's a little freaky but that's the intent and erther have accomplished exactly what they set out to do, create ominous atmosphere music. spooky but cool." - Raw42

Hifi Trip to the Moon: "HIFI trip to da moon features more of those killer beats in this jump-up track and the hardcore techno effects add much spice to this above average piece of electronica. what's best is the structure of this music, it's all over the place but still entirely coherent and organized. a nice touch of experience which shines through in this australian artist's tracks. in fact, we've added this one to our top MP3 songs list for it's excess of coolness in electronic sound." - Raw42

Erthforce: "erthforce has a funky feel and builds to an excellent level of movement music. i doubt this song was created for the club crowd but it has the beat and with the funky groove, it's danceable. but it's also harsh in sound and that's what's especially good about this tune. it gives it a mysterious, dark edge that the dancing masses wouldn't know what to do with. nice." - Raw42
