refused. is infiltrating the Australian techno scene and swooping up fresh talent from the land down under! Pete Laskis, a producer from Melbourne, Australia makes his refused. debut releasing a tempestuous 3-piece EP titled "SpiceBomb."

Pete's journey began at the age of sixteen when he was exposed to the art of collecting and spinning vinyl. What started out as an interest in collecting and playing vinyls, soon turned into a hobby of mixing music and DJing with friends. By the time he was 19, Pete Laskis was starting to get gigs in clubs and local parties around Australia, and eventually he held a weekly residency in some of Melbourne's biggest underground nightclubs.

Since then, Pete Laskis has played festivals alongside some of the top names in underground house and techno. He continues to grow as a producer, and his sound has steadily evolved towards a raw, dark, and industrial techno sound.

On his EP "Spicebomb" Pete Laskis goes deep and grasps a special resonance in his sound. Featuring three tracks Spicebomb, Joker and Flowerbomb, each encompassing a dark majestic sound unique to Pete Laskis.

Spicebomb starts in with a low rumbling tone, carried through by a deep and full bassline. Industrial hollow sounds move about the track as a muffled growl gives Spicebomb life. Joker begins with a strong kick drum as a manipulated low voice reels you in. Sounds of uncanny wind chimes float around the track, and Joker builds up into a techno stormer. Lastly, Flowerbomb ends the EP off with a raw and corky techno treat. A droid-influenced sound with experimental qualities sets this one apart from the rest. Flowerbomb breaks into a strong ending, and has big-room techno qualities perfect for a dark foggy dance floor.

ABOUT PETE LASKIS

A maverick of electronic/techno categorization, Pete Laskis is a Melbourne/Australia based producer/DJ. He first started collecting and spinning wax from the age of 16. By the age of 19, he was striving to play in clubs and local parties. Pete finally broke through with his unique way of mixing track selections by holding weekly residencies in some of Melbourne’s biggest underground nightclubs.

Pete has played alongside acts such as Oliver Huntemann, Stephan Bodzin, Harvey Mckay, and Seth Troxler at some of Australia’s biggest festivals including Summadayze, Future Music Festival, and Earthcore. Soon after, Pete found himself under the heavily influence and spell of techno heavyweights, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, and Dubfire. These artists inspired him massively enough to head across the sea towards the European shores to experience the vibes in person.

After returning to Melbourne, he locked himself in the studio with his sights aimed at the production scene. Shortly after, local label Grime Recordings signed his first EP “Drummatic,” which set things off. Not long after, Pete released “Section 8” to the Italian label, Gain Records. Recently, Pete has released music on Minihard and has joined the refused. family debuting his EP “SpiceBomb.”
