With a self-produced swag of songs, Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist Dune has created a futuristic vista from textured synths and beats. She possesses a post-apocalyptic vision, one of primal emotion and stark imagery. While she can confidently be filed alongside contemporaries like Santigold, Robyn, Little Dragon, Chairlift, Gorillaz and M83, Dune also has a love of the lineage of electronica. “Some of the tracks definitely echo the music being made around the time I was born,” she says. “My dad was active in the experimental electronic movement in the UK in the 1970s, and a lot of the synths I was using, like the Roland Jupiter 8, were his old gear from that time.”
