Staunch

Formed in 2011 by James Hayes (Shadow FX) and Algernon Renton (Mustard Tiger/Positive Thought). The project was aptly named STAUNCH; a bass heavy, funk laden mid-tempo breaks/ glitch hop project. Both artists stemming from progressive trance backgrounds and influenced by the Australian outdoor music scene’s shift toward glitch music, Staunch have been forging a fresh, intricate and unique style.

Their latest EP 'Thrustin Beaver' reached the top 5 overall sellers in the Beatport charts in July last year, next to big name acts such as Daft Punk, Far Too Loud, and Knife Party. And had their first #1 single on Beatport's Glitch Hop Singles chart in December 2013

Having played at all Australia’s major festivals (Rainbow Serpent, Eclipse Festival, Maitreya and Earth Frequency) as well as Burning Man, Symbiosis and The Next Big Festival in North America. Be sure to catch them as they bring the unique style of glitch
