Harvey Sutherland, the Melbourne-born record producer, keyboard player, club DJ and bandleader, made a name amongst his hometown’s electronic underground with a string of cult disco singles. Early 12-inches like <a href="spotify:album:4V1dlCsjsJ2wzYuPK4MX4B" data-name="Bermuda">Bermuda</a> and <a href="spotify:track:387fUVU9I6ctXvtFkKDI5e" data-name="Priestess">Priestess</a> were dance records in love with the sound of soul music, but his debut album <a href="spotify:album:1xhTH88GmVGeWkl2R4gB2l" data-name="Boy">Boy</a> - written in a circular loop between his studio and his psychotherapist - was guided by his obsessional traits and habits, ending up in a place he describes as "Neurotic Funk".

His machine grooves are fired through a prism of crate-digging influences, from Todd Rundgren to Basic Channel and back again. His distinctive synthesiser tones have graced remixes and production for Disclosure, Tycho, Khruangbin and BadBadNotGood. A seasoned performer, he’s taken his live band to Glastonbury, dragged his Juno-60 into Berghain and turned the Melbourne Recital Centre into a full-fledged nightclub. Eclectic and groovy, Harvey Sutherland is Neurotic Funk.
