FREQS & GEEKS ft. Mike Nigro (Oxtail Recordings | Eora Sydney) + Spectrical (Perceptual Tapes)

FREQS & GEEKS showcases electronic artists from Lutruwita/Tasmania—emerging, established, and everything between. A space for the unclassifiable. Hypnotic, chaotic, euphoric, and raw. Textures that swallow you whole.

Mike Nigro is an electronic musician and label operator currently based on Gadigal land/Sydney, Australia. His solo practice and collaborations draw inspiration from the minimalists, early synthesizer pioneers, and contemporary electronic underground. His music explores the interactions and tensions between musicality and noise; movement and stasis; synthetics and organics. He’s also the founder of Oxtail Recordings, a record label focusing on “ambient noise and broken songs,” which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024 with showcases in Australia, USA, UK, and EU. The label has been featured in The Wire, Bandcamp Daily, NPR, SPIN, Tiny Mix Tapes and A Closer Listen, among others.

Spectrical is an ambient, drone and experimental artist and founder of Perceptual Tapes based in nipaluna, lutruwita. He creates soundscapes both dissonant and dreamy, with a focus on atmosphere, texture and experimentation. His work incorporates acoustic instruments, tape recordings, analogue and modular synths, field recordings and digital processing. His latest album 'Among Lunar Glaciers' was released in May 2025.
