From growing up bush to now stuck in Tokyo throughout the pandemic, Mahne Frame is an artist difficult to pin down. Be it the multiple outfits in the Eora / Sydney community he’s loaned his drum skills to, his solo music is branded in simplicity, cynicism and elucidity. Inspired by The Prodigy, Nick Cave, Goldie, Max Rockatansky, Valentino Rossi, his “baritone-monotone” (NME) mixed with “icy rave beats” (PAPER) has seen the producer collaborate with Japanese artists Tohji and Aya Gloomy.
