Biography

AudioUnit is the solo project of Australian-based artist Brian Clark, who has been performing and frequenting the festival scene since the late ’90s. His love of the psy-trance scene and dedication to the music led him into the studio, where he drew on his roots as a bass player to develop his own brand of funky, full-on psychedelic.

Along the way he met collaborative artist and “wasabi brother” Chromatone. In 2013 the pair released their EP Challenge of the Grid on Zero One Music, which tore up the psy scene with its heart-pounding dancefloor hits. Since then AudioUnit has steadily released EPs and singles year after year — beginning with his first solo EP Dirty Funkatronic in 2014 — with all five EPs reaching the Top 10 of Beatport’s Psy-Trance chart.

His catalogue spans NANO Records, Zer01 Music, Iboga, IONO, Future Music Records, EXPO Records and 3rd Eye Japan, among others. More recently he’s been releasing on Future Music Records — Iboga’s sister label — and his debut album Groove Machine (late 2018) hit No. 1 on Beatport’s Psy-Trance chart and held the Top 10 for close to a month: nine tracks of meticulous, unmistakably funky full-on.

An Australian icon with worldwide recognition, AudioUnit has stomped psy dancefloors across the globe and featured on the main stages of Rainbow Serpent, Maitreya, Psyfari, Dragon Dreaming, Mushroom Valley, Vortex Festival (South Africa) and many more. This veteran of the psychedelic scene is sure to give you an experience you won’t forget.
