For more than two decades, Acid Safari has been a pivotal and respected figure in Melbourne's thriving techno landscape. While playfully describing himself as a "nobody," his influence and residency of over 15 years at the Iconic Revolver Upstairs (AU) tell a different story—one of longevity, adaptability, and unwavering relevance in a constantly evolving scene. Acid Safari's true mastery lies in his profound versatility. He is an artist who can seamlessly warm up the room for techno royalty such as Richie Hawtin, Slam, Radio Slave, and Francois K, and on the same weekend, command the energy of an abandoned factory rave or curate a pop-up retro set at one of Australia's premier commercial venues, The Espy. This adaptability extends from playing to festival crowds of thousands to performing nuanced ambient sets for a few dozen, showcasing a deep understanding of music, mood, and audience. Beyond the decks, Acid Safari is a creator and a curator. He is the host of the weekly radio show "Radio Bueno" on Kiss FM Australia, a platform for his eclectic tastes. He has been the co-creator and booker of various events: Capacity, Kubik Melbourne and Piknic Electronik Melbourne. As a producer, he has released music on labels including Supermercado Records and the esteemed Revolver Upstairs Records, with EPs like "Revs Sesh EP" and "Modal EP" highlighting his sonic signature. From hardgroove techno to ambient and acid, his wide-ranging sound palette ensures that no two experiences are the same, solidifying his status as one of Melbourne's most trusted and dynamic electronic artists.
