It all started with a frequency moving through parallel universes and other dimensions waiting for the right time to evolve into human form. Even before he was born Tim McCallum was kicking out beats in the womb and as soon as he could crawl he was picking up anything that made a sound.

 

Tim (aka Augmented) always had an affinity with sound and music. Like many other humans he was able to take solitude in the music he grew up with as it gave him a way to escape, a way to change emotion, a way to remember and a way to forget.

 

Augmented takes these concepts and keeps them in mind. Making every track he writes a story and every set creates a journey; you only have to witness an Augmented set to see how much love and dedication he has for his craft. Ol’ Augie takes pride in finding and composing music that will leave a dance floor as passionate and enthusiastic about music as he is. 

 

Augmented’s sound infuses bold, rolling basslines with a filthy bottom end structure, laced with lush pads, ear tickling hats, organic percussion, obscure melodies and quirky samples recorded from facets of his own life. He creates a unique experience that will simultaneously stimulate aurally, mentally and physically, enabling natural grooves for the dance floor and taking the audience to his ‘Augmented Reality’. He has released on Smash Bang Records and has remixes out on Vicious Black and Anarkick Records.

 

When he’s not conjuring up his magic in the studio, you can catch him continuing his monthly residency at Melbourne's premier underground club night Black Market, and keeping up regular appearances for local crews acollectivefuture, Instinct Events, and Quality Projekt. He has performed at some of Australia's leading underground music festivals including Rainbow Serpent, Subsonic, Baylon, Maitreya, & Forgotten Kingdom, and internationally on the Red Square stage at Fusion Festival.
