Orb Podcast 092: Sleep D

Sonic explorers and pillars of the Melbourne underground, Sleep D have spent over a decade shaping the sound of the city’s electronic music scene. Through their coveted label Butter Sessions, the duo has fostered a new era in the city with their deep rhythms, hypnotic bass, and immersive sound design.

Hailing from Melbourne/Naarm with Iraqi and Maltese heritage, Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos have built a reputation as artists who thrive on movement, whether in the studio, on the decks, or through their ever-evolving live sets. Their sound spans from bush doof techno and dubbed-out house to acid-laced experiments and atmospheric excursions, a versatility reflected in their releases and relentless touring schedule.

For Orb Podcast 092, Sleep D deliver a mix recorded live at Miscellania in Melbourne / Naarm—an instinctive, on-the-fly selection that channels the raw pulse of bush doof techno in motion.
