Pacific Theatre Encore debuts with the reissue of an insanely rare breakbeat laden Soul Jazz holy grail from 1968 from the all-star inhouse band of the legendary nightclub Whiskey A Go Go in Kings Cross’ swinging sixties heyday, long before Sydney’s current lock out law induced coma. Having long contributed to the evolution of contemporary Australian Soul, Funk and Jazz, Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos, Lanu, Menagerie ex Cookin’ On 3 Burners), now aims to revive its history with a new reissue label. The first release on the label is undoubtedly one of Australia’s rarest and funkiest jazz albums. LP includes liner notes insert and download card. CD is three panel wallet with liner notes. NB free 7” with LP pre-orders is not dinked.

Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos) surprises with a side project that combines vintage synths and live drums to create an enveloping world of Ambient Beats, Downtempo Electronica, Lo-Fi Hip Hop and Dream Pop sure to appeal to fans of Boards Of Canada, Tycho, DJ Shadow, Four Tet and Air. Ferguson wrote and produced the album and played almost all instruments himself, alongside his longtime studio cohort John Castle (Dean Lewis, Gretta Ray, Angie McMahon, Washington).
Machines Always Win is a musical experiment designed to reconcile Ferguson’s love of beats, breaks, vinyl-digging culture and sampling with a particular strand of melancholic, ambient, guitar, synth-based music. Think much-sampled drummer Bernard Purdie playing with Ryuichi Sakamoto, or Clyde Stubblefield joining Cocteau Twins. The album is a musical reaction against writing standard verse/chorus/bridge song structures and is intent on letting the music flow and settle in its own way, finding its own level.
