City Rhythm

HMC’s most recent offering of techno and house music, City Rhythm, (Juice 002) is a sound typical of his influence on dance music culture in his hometown of Adelaide, Australia. From pre-internet days when scenes throughout Europe and the US were created on the back of techno and house music, a smaller but just as significant scene had developed in Adelaide, Celebrations were a weekly occurance on Adelaide dance floors and DJ HMC was responsible for the playlist. He established himself as one of Australia’s most popular Dj’s and his recording career followed soon after. By 1991 his massive hit “life Support System” from the 100% Juice EP. (Juice 001) had his local fans citing him as a pioneer of Australian techno and house music.HMC’s, City Rhythm, is vintage and new. Damien Donato of Juice Records say’s, “you cant create a more true Juice Record than this. Our signature sound was founded on the early years of HMC’s recording career". City Rhythm has a maturity in composition and sound. With classic synth sounds, arrangements of deep house and the revered pulse of a solid techno groove, there are club anthems, underground house gems and techno moments designed for any sound system. Listening back to HMC’s Southern Cross EP, (Juice 012, 1995), you can hear his international appeal. He had a global hit in the track LSD, but the EP hid gems, such as, Digits. These were true House Master C trax. These elements have more clarity on City Rhythm. HMC has stayed true to his musical ambitions but has embraced the technology of today without fear of losing any appeal to techno and house music purists. Damien continue’s…"City Rhythm puts those early years into perspective, we have very different lives since those days, but HMC’s musical output remains a constant, it is the same music but HMC has refined his art…” A vision of 20 years ago by a label and artist wasn’t a fad, it was a sound. City Rhythm is available now.
