1996 – 1998
Mos Eisley
Member
Shoegaze band. First steps beyond school and university bands into the beginnings of a lasting preoccupation with texture, volume and the guitar as a tonal instrument rather than a melodic one.
Michael Diakomichalis
Musician · Producer · DJ · Adelaide, Australia
Three decades in and around Adelaide's music scene — as a band member, solo producer, DJ, venue operator and collaborator. The through-line has been a restless interest in sound itself: how it moves a room, how it holds a mood, and how far it can be pushed before it stops being music and becomes something else.
Here is a record of the projects and the work.
Timeline
1998 – 2007
Supaphatass
Founding member
Adelaide live dance band and supergroup. Nine years of sustained live work, as well as the release of full-length album Mindfunkingongpop and a run of EPs.
2007 – 2014
Dragonfly Bar + Dining
Owner & Operator
Seven years running one of Adelaide's most fondly remembered small venues. Programmed and promoted a booking schedule that brought international and national acts into an intimate room — nights still talked about by Adelaide stalwarts.
2010 – present
M-Thirteen
Solo project
Solo electronic project anchored in techno, house and electronic experimentation. Later became the namesake of M-Thirteen Music, the independent imprint housing all subsequent work.
2012 – 2015
Question Question
Founding member
Three-piece group. Two EPs and a run of significant festival performances including WOMAD and PilotFest.
2015 – 2025
Art of Flying Kites
Founding member
Multi-disciplinary group working in the realm of expanded cinema, pairing improvised live performance with projected image. A decade of festival appearances and two self-produced EPs.
2020 – 2022
Studio
Production, mixing & mastering
A stretch defined more by the studio than the stage — building out a dedicated room and developing production, mixing and mastering technique in earnest. The period reshaped the approach behind everything that followed, and opened the door to working on other artists' records.
