“The first set was a major highlight with Lisa and Marconi doing a jazz duo. All round a great sydney wedding band ”
Amelia from Sydney NSW

To provide a better service, TENTRIX play in Sydney as a Duo Wedding Band.

The main reason is the simplicity – there’s just the two of us, with less people and equipment to coordinate. We don’t take up a lot of floor space, leaving more room for the guests. We have a great sound and can tailor the volume to perfectly suit any venue, large or small, unlike a band which has to play at least as loud as the drummer at all times! It works so well for our brides too – they get all the benefits of a live band at a cost that’s not much more than a DJ. We’d love to talk to you about your special wedding day.

Biography

Joseph “Amp” Fiddler is a musician who has an extensive list of credits that extends across a couple decades. Fiddler, who produces and sings in addition to doing the bulk of his duties on keyboards, organs, and pianos, has played on records by Prince, the Brand New Heavies, Ramsey Lewis, George Clinton, the P-Funk All Stars, the Dramatics, Primal Scream, Was (Not Was), and Too Short. With significant help from bass-playing brother Thomas “Bubz” Fiddler (another member of the extended P-Funk family), Amp released With Respect on Elektra in 1990 as Mr. Fiddler. Although the record didn’t fare well commercially, it was a solid update of ’70s funk with modern production sensibilities. In 2002, Amp issued a 12″ called Basementality on the Genuine label. Featuring a remix from close associate Kenny Dixon, Jr. (aka Moodymann), the record was an even split between modern soul and funky club music with Fiddler’s talents boldly displayed. The Love and War single came out the following year, and the full-length Waltz of a Ghetto Fly saw release in January 2004. Another solo album, Afro Strut, was released in the U.K. in 2006; Play It Again Sam licensed it for U.S. release a year later. Two years later, Fiddler and Sly & Robbie kicked off the Strut label’s collaboration-oriented Inspiration Information series.

JKBD007 :: Jimi Polar & Phil Smart | ‘FROSTBITE’ (A:: Original mix B:: JP Switch Remix)
Just when you thought winter was over, Jim and Phil take off the gloves and head out into the chilly night for a evening of serious clubbing. The original mix follows the sonic flavour that we’ve been pushing with the last few releases, percussive, dubbed out trickery that sticks to the groove and leaves the cheese in the fridge…

A :: ORIGINAL MIX :: Solid, Dubby and  consistent, great for long opener sets when you’re ready to pick things up and get serious.
B :: JIMI POLAR SWITCH MIX :: Jimi takes the same percussive elements and adds some very fat 303 action to the low end, the result is at least another 20kgs of aceeed funk to deal out.

Coming soon we’ve got some seriously serious tech house business from Jimi Polar and DeepChild and to top it off here at Junkbeats HQ we are very excited to announce new comers to the Junkbeats crew the Disco Knights from Brisbane with Melbourne expat DeeDee from the Smash-Bang hall taking on remix duties, stay tuned..
