Secret Sounds Of The Underground Ft Kasey Taylor
Secret Sounds is back in February at its spiritual home Pablo's with One of the most loved and respected names in the Australian dance
music industry, Kasey Taylor made his mark in his hometown of
Melbourne before John Digweed scouted him in the mid-nineties on his
first trip to Australia where Kasey was playing the warm up set for him.
It was that warm up where he gained Digweed’s instant respect and
shortly after he invited Kasey to play at his infamous Bedrock night in
London. That was the catalyst for Taylor to take his sound to a global
audience, leading to international exposure and a permanent move to
Europe to satiate the demands of his worldwide bookings that followed.
Kasey is the creative power behind the highly revered Vapour
Recordings, the 28-year old mainstay which was founded in 1997 and is
over 175 releases deep and still going strong as the label approaches it’s
30th anniversary, with plans behind the scenes already well underway.
Over recent years Kasey has gone through a massive personal and
creative resurgence overseeing a recent rebranding of his label Vapour
Recordings which sees the label back to releasing monthly after a break
due to the pandemic. The standard of the releases is and has always been
what makes the label stand out from the rest, with names like Guy J,
Hernan Cattaneo, Gai Barone, Mike Rish, Navar, Subandrio, Alex
O’Rion, Stereo Underground, Jamie Stevens, Nick Warren, GMJ &

Konrad Jazz Quartet
The Konrad Park Quartet returns to Pablo’s this February, as they uncover more music from the jazz greats such as John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and Sonny Rollins. Jazzrad’s quartet features Kelly Ottaway, Al Dobson and Hamish Houston, whom all share a common desire to perform and revel in the power of this music.
Modern jazz has always had it roots in the blues, from haunting ballads to fast and ferocious up tempo expeditions of sound. The KPQ reflect the modern jazz sounds from its raw beginnings in the 60s, as well as current abstractions of advanced harmony and rhythm.
Embrace the hurricane, come and blow off the dust with the Konrad Park Quartet, at Hobart’s premiere jazz venue, Pablo’s Cocktails and Dreams.
