🎭Haptic is a producer, vocalist, and live act from Newcastle, Australia.
Haptic blends esoteric vocals with hypnotic techno, drawing from both European progressive and Australian bush influences. His alter ego, The Shaman Monster, emerged as an artistic experiment that evolved into a ritualistic sonic persona — a primal invocation of ancestral memory through sound.
🔥 Chants, bones, drones, blood, desire, and fire — this is the domain of the Shaman Monster. 🌀 In a world increasingly secular and mechanized, the Shaman Monster regresses joyfully, inviting listeners to reconnect with ancient ritual through techno.
_“We shared and celebrated our lives for thousands of years this way until the dawn of machines and computation, when we collectively started to forget. But the Shaman Monster remembers — and deep down, so do you.”_
