Diffraction Studio

Big news yesterday from the official JCU hospital fundraiser body BRIGHTER LIVES. Below is a Thankyou from Executive Chair Tanya Busoli and details of the equipment that is now in the process bought according to need. BRIGHTER 2022 reached our 17,000 goal (and more) which enabled the hospital to buy much needed equipment outright to help fight Breast Cancer with 1,000 extra to support another BRIGHTER LIVES goal. Thanks to everyone who donated art works and $ to the BRIGHTER fundraiser for BRIGHTER LIVES . Diffraction Studio https://www.facebook.com/diffractionstudionq hosted the kick-off fundraiser and exhibition and Ladies in Business Townsville helped us reach the end goal https://www.facebook.com/groups/ladiesinbusinesstownsville

I really want to thank so much our biggest single donor 8,000 from Arm to Palm and organiser Vicki Strelan https://www.armtopalm.com/ also the inspiring Marjolein Hendrikse who shared her breast cancer journey as did Carly Sheil: Artist with a donation of beautiful artwork , and so many other artists, performers, friends and supporters. Thanks to Josh Lord whose work is featured on this post. "SOMEDAY WE WILL MISS TODAY>Acrylic on Vinyl record, 2022. below is a message about the equipment purchased from Tanya Busoli the outgoing Executive Chair of Brighter Lives Townsville Hospital https://www.brighterlives.org.au/ Equipment to be purchased is finalised. It’s called a SOZO bioimpedemce machine https://lymphaticsolutions.com.au/services/sozo-lymphoedema-monitoring/ and is being purchased for the lymphoedema clinic in the cancer centre at the Townsville University Hospital l.

Here’s some information about benefits of the machine:
Early detection - Effective Treatment Monitoring - patient education: The SOZO provides patient with immediate assessment / feedback on their condition and can assist with motivating patients to comply with therapist recommended treatment. It provides immediate visual feedback to patients regarding their condition and progress.

How many people will benefit? The SOZO is used on every breast cancer patient (new and review patients) who attends the physiotherapy or occupational therapy lymphoedema clinic unless contraindicated (e.g if they have a pacemaker) as part of the clinical assessment process. On average 6-10 new breast cancer patients receive pre operative SOZO measures per week. Approximately 15-20 review patients per day utilise the SOZO to monitor their condition and self management regime. All patients are followed up for at least 2 years or life long if lymphoedema develops.
Lymphoedema is a common complication of breast cancer treatment.

The SOZO machine is covered entirely by our fundraising efforts.

Thankyou people we did this together with love and determination to make things better for others. We did it! You are all amazing !!!

Dystracted are back at RootBound Festival this year and, trust us. This will be one you won't forget anytime soon!

We are all very excited to reconnect with Kyle after his extended hiatus! Let's get it gang!

The first thing you notice, when you experience Dystracted is the cerebral edge that comes rolling through the thick flow of their dense, bass grooves. Staunch and punchy, hip-hop inspired rhythms deliver heaps of swagger, allowing shiny melodies to drift over and around you, lingering long after their set has finished up. With a strong influence of West Coast Bass from America, each new produced track takes a life of its own and their all original sets are proper crowd pleasers.

Starting their journey as a live collaboration between South-East Queensland based producers, James Eveland and Kyle Gauthier, Dystracted have announced themselves on the scene! From Diffraction Collective events, Rootbound Festival, Earth Frequency, Elements and Rain Dance Festival all the way to having recent releases with West Australian Label Pulp Glitchin' Records & US based The Gradient Perspective Records, this duo are making huge waves in both the Australian & the US music scene 🌊

Dystracted deliver heaving, twisted sets of bass music that sit right in that sweet, mid-tempo slot, with plenty of attitude and sexy grooves that always have the dancefloor moving 😎

Huge Diffraction Collective event incoming on the 20th May!

Soulacybin has made the trip over to Australia for a few special perfomances and Diffraction Collective has been lucky enough to secure a show in Townsville!

"A purveyor of auditory hedonism, Soulacybin ripples through the airwaves on a mission to get sonically snotty and naughty. Hyper-chilled rhythms and slimey bass lines fuse to invoke and express Gratitude through Sound"

Check out his tunes here 👇
