Full Artist Biography

Uone is an energetic DJ & electronic music producer whose signature western-influenced tribal deep house dance floor anthems have carved the landscape, allowing for a new age in modern 60sinspired psychedelia dance music, his DJ sets are known to oscillate from subtle spirituality to sweat-drenched sensuality, bringing together organic and electronic sounds while also drawing on Morricone-influenced deep house, ‘60spsychedelia and tribal rhythms. The celebrated DJ, producer started his career out of a caravan on his mum’s property in the Victorian surfing town of Shoreham. He’s since gone on to transform dance-floors around the world, from the USA’s Burning Man to the UK’s Glastonbury Festival.


In 2011, Uone was officially diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis,  a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves). The condition emerged after receiving a yellow fever vaccine—a requirement for touring Brazil at the time. Despite this challenge, he continues to thrive as a disabled artist, drawing inspiration from his surroundings while living along the Kiewa River in regional Victoria. In recent years, following the impacts of COVID, Uone has had to slow down dramatically from playing gigs and touring to focus on keeping his MS health stable. Beyond his music, he is a dedicated fundraiser for Do It For MS, having raised over $13,000 to help people living with Multiple Sclerosis access vital support services. His commitment to both his craft and his community reflects his resilience and passion for making a positive impact.  If you'd like to donate please follow this link https://www.doitforms.org.au/fundraisers/EwanScott

In 2020 Uone’s 2nd album ‘The Lone Wranglers’ was released on12-inch vinyl & digital on Australia/New Zealand based Beat & Path records and again reaching number one on Beatport Organic House chart. ‘The Lone Wranglers’ sounds like no other,and flourishes of psychedeliaand tribal deep house. The ten track release is a bricolage of various media:While it retains the deep- and tech-house production Uone’s known for, The Lone Wranglers is steeped in cowboy iconography and draws on Uone’s love for Pink Floyd and The Doors, Ennio Morricone Spaghetti Western film scores andthe music curation of Quentin Tarantino. The genre-defying release was named“most creative album of the year” by Electronic Groove magazine.

In 2023 Uone has graced us with a modern rarity: a15-track full-length concept album, ‘Phantom Whistler’, that pays homage to the Wild West.  Across Phantom Whistler you'll find a cinematic saga. Mind-expanding house and warm electronic ambience transmit with pacifying effect, and Uone juxtaposes momentsof solitude and calm with a spiritual groove to preach a righteous truth. It'san organic sound, one leathered in the sun and rinsed in the open plain rivers.


Provocative guitars, harmonicas and indiscriminate field recordings are pulled together by the outlaw's call card: a clear, crystallised frequency; a whistle born during cold nights next to warmcampfires. Make no mistake: this right here is an aural tonic, a soundtrack tothe greatest medicine ceremony ever assembled.

 

Creative. Absorbing. Totally neoteric. 


Mixed by Australian engineering legend Danny Bonniciin Dolby Atmos, a revolutionary spatial audio technology for the most immersive sound experience, the Phantom Whistler LP will unfurl itself over the course of three months: a new chapter every 3 weeks.

Alongside the album a collection of music videos and animations will accompany created by Australia's leading projection artist NickAzidis: expect a pastiche filled mood, with atmospheric transformations, nostalgia, and abstract forms. This is more than music, it'san artistic manifesto brave enough to buck the trend. 


As the Phantom Whistler rides his trusty stead into a fantastic future, a captivating message is left behind: Dull the noise and find sanctuary in yourself. To find the treasure within, fuse with your inner beat to synchronise with the universal

groove. Travel light my friend, rap yourself in anticipation, and submit to 2023's most audacious release.

 

With close to 250tracks released what connects all of Uone’s pursuits is an emphatic belief in the transcendent, life-affirmingpotential of music.

 

“Music is medicine,” he says. “It has the power to heal and make people happy. I loves spreading peace and positivity through music”
