In the busy scope that is Australia's overflowing music scene, artists are not alone in building a profile for themselves, for there are so many crews and collectives passionately contributing to this hectic sonic climate.

Focusing on the modest tiers of this warming community, a name to wrap your head around is St. O'Donnell. Comprised of both local & international based producers, DJs, radio presenters, directors, artist reps, event managers and graphic designers, this monster conglomerate are fluent in native music tongue, whilst steering very far away from conventional operations.

Formerly known as Future Sound, you may have caught the St. O'Donnell lads around in the past; throwing rowdy house parties and launching releases for the likes of ELMNTRYPluural, and j. rojas, as well as a couple of Christmas throwdowns and their Free Gucci gathering, in respectful tribute to the convicted, Gucci Mane.

When they're not sweating a room, head honchos Chin ZuzeGabe GasparJulian RojasAdam Knoflack and Jesse Shewan are applying the spirit of St. O'Donnell to broadcast, with their show on Bondi Beach Radio, every Monday from 12-2pm. Crate digging what they believe best represents the St. O'Donnell flair, you'll find that the ethos they emit is very loosely wrapped by genre, yet incredibly forceful in breaking down boundaries; for the focus on flow and ethic takes precedent in all their endeavours.

Stepping things up with their very first warehouse party this weekend, the St. O'Donnell's team have recruited a massive roster of budding creatives, including SwindailJayswaysPluuralCairo Heaven (Moktar Sharouny of Polographia's new project), j. rojas and Jordvn to soundtrack the evening, with Sign-Language further enhancing your senses on visuals.

The very final 30 tickets have just been made available, so be sure to jump on that as soon as possible before they're all snapped up! While you're out here perusing the net, catch St. O'Donnell's impressive back catalogue through their Bandcamp and Soundcloud channels.
