On our way to O.Z.O.R.A, our next talk is with Si Mullumby of Wild Marmalade. And not only because: "Wild Marmalade fuse cutting edge didgeridoo dance grooves with some of the finest beats from the rising Australian Drum Culture. Their music has inspired a wave of didgeridoo dance bands globally. Innovative, contemporary and uniquely Australian high-energy dance music."
But also because they put on one of the most amazing concerts last year and will be there again this summer, as the main opening day show in the Dragon Nest, with perhaps even more spice for our senses because Si is bringing along his original Australian drummer and also an Australian guitarist, and an Israeli musician as well. Tune in on 3rd May 2014 SaturDay 5pm CET on the Trance Channel. Reruns: 4 Saturday 11am, 5 Monday 5am and 11pm. Stay tuned!
Wild Marmalade are a High-Energy Organic Trance, Drum and Didj band based in Byron Bay, Australia.
Playing "totally live" with ferocious intensity, they create inspired organic dance music, without the use of any electronic machines. Blending the ancient sounds of the didjeridoo with contemporary dance beats. The music of Wild Marmalade is organic and live - every sound you hear is made by the musicians.
Wild Marmalade create a musical intensity usually only heard from computers and synthesizers, combined with the excitement of inspired musicians being moved by the energy of an audience. Drawing on rhythms from all over the world and inspired by both indigenous sounds and the grooves of the present,Wild Marmalade's high energy shows uplift audiences with their display of powerful, joyous and infectiously danceable music.
Wild Marmalade are a formidable force in world dance music. They have worked with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas and Montreal, toured Japan, Europe, the USA and Australia.
This time the band leader Si Mullumby brings his original drummer Ben Walsh together with Australian guitar phenomenon Paul George and magical string player Udi Ben Knaan from Israel.
