Andrew Davidson, better known to the world as SunControlSpecies could just be Australia’s best kept secret.

The Melbourne-based producer and live act has always generated excitement in progressive and psytrance circles, but with the impending release of his sophomore album on Danish label Iboga Records, the rest of the world is about to stand up and take notice too.

With over 50 tracks out on a variety of labels from around the globe, his 2007 full-length debut album Scienza Nuova is now regarded as a classic in the progressive trance scene and has paved the way for an enviable touring schedule around the globe.

From outdoor festivals in Japan, to 30,000 people on a beach in Brazil and back home in Oz through a dusty bush party, SunControlSpecies is regareded as a regular fixture on the global festival circuit and one of the most dynamic live acts in the world.

The new album, titled “ii”, is a bold step in a fresh direction, shaking the confines of genre to create a masterpiece that is progressive in the true sense of the world: “forward thinking or ahead of its time”.

Evidence of fresh approach can be seen in his soon-to-be released track on Australian label Open Records, “Sleeve”, which is a techno-progressive crossover that is already generating excitement among some of the world’s biggest DJs.

Released exclusively on Beatport on August 16, it features remixes by techno heavyweights like Erphun, Astronivo, Sheff and Solips, and is already hot in the hands of the likes of Anthony Pappa, Dave Seaman, Kasey Taylor, Tom Hades, Bigger Than Jesus, Umek, Alex Di Stefano and many more.

Coupled with his recent Beatport Psytrance No.2 Second Sunrise with label mates Behind Blue Eyes, and the upcoming release on of the first single from ii called Serenaii, featuring a tasty remix by Beatport Award Winners Antix, and the future for this talented Melbourne producer is very bright.
