Fresh off the release of Colourful Choices released the esteemed Butter Sessions label back in October, London-based Irish/Australian artist Iti returns with his latest EP, a collaborative body of work alongside good friend and fellow producer Axon Growth Factor.
A labour of love that began in Brisbane in 2022, the Sleep Pressure EP emerged from a series of late-night jam sessions. Now based in London and Naarm/Melbourne respectively, Iti and Axon Growth Factor have reconnected to finish what they started - this time from opposite sides of the globe.
Catch Iti alongside Jhassic on Friday 19 December at Club 77 from 10pm til 5am. Free entry before midnight via guest list, $15 after.
For @iti______ , a Meanjin/Brisbane originating artist turned London local, an international move hasn’t meant he’s left his home behind, but has allowed him the space to explore it even more deeply.
His upcoming EP, ‘Colourful Choices’, is set to be released on Naarm/Melbourne’s beloved @butter_sessions this Friday. His mother’s Irish fiddle playing has greatly informed many of the synths on the release, while the rhythmic traditions of his Pakistani heritage underpin his approach to drums. His upbringing in Meanjin takes shape in his love for physical synthesisers.
In many ways, ‘Colourful Choices’ is an homage to every part of his home that Iti feels within himself. On the cusp of ‘Colourful Choices’ release, we spoke with Iti about what it felt like to explore those feelings.

@iti______ - Colourful Choices is out now 💫
On Butter Sessions, Iti presents Colourful Choices, a collision of vivid synth melodies and fractured drum rhythms. The title nods to the multicoloured lights and patch cables of his synths - the primary source of the record’s motifs.
The EP opens with Ampersand, where fragmented lead-lines meet a driving four-to-the-floor rhythm, crafting a shadowy club sound that emerges into moments of euphoria. Next is the title track, Colourful Choices, beginning with a shimmering string-synth that bends and twists into a playful, colourful melody. It’s joined by a punchy drum-machine rhythm before descending into a gritty, driving bassline. Exit shifts the energy with garage-electro edge, its weighty low-end anchoring robotic synth stabs before erupting into a heavy 2-step breakdown. The EP’s closer, Lost in a Tangent, moves into more intricate terrain, pairing rolling skin-drum percussion with snappy breakbeats and a saturated chord melody.
In an era of highly-polished production, Colourful Choices sees Iti emerge as a producer unafraid to harness raw sound, delivering music that is tactile, striking, and entirely his own.

Mexico 🇲🇽
Memorable week in Yucatán. Visited some inspiring local NGOs supporting remote indigenous communities - through the preservation and promotion of traditional Mayan harvesting and cooking practices.
Experienced incredible hospitality, deep knowledge of the land, and true culinary mastery.
Well overdue Australia photo dump, ft. the friendliest of faces 🌞
It was nice/surreal to be back down under. Had fun being a DJ + seeing homies from across the land. Flew by super quickly.
Back in the rhythm of London once more though, with Ramadan on the horizon, and spring thereafter. Much to look forward to ❤️
Bringing together his roots from Ireland, the UK and Australia, DJ, producer and @pocketmoth_ label-owner @iti______ blurs the lines with his experimental After Dark mix. In his own music, his upbringing in Meanjin fostered his love for physical synthesisers, the rhythmic traditions of his Pakistani heritage underpin his approach to drums, and his mother’s Irish fiddle playing has greatly informed his use of synths 🎛️
With tracks from @hagan_uk , @aaliyah , @deejaymosca and @rroxymore , Iti’s boundless curiosity for sonic textures informs him as he curates a mix dedicated to exploring new sounds, new instruments and new soundworlds 🎶

Reconnecting across continents, Iti & Axon Growth Factor trace their roots back to the hazy inner-city suburbs of Magandjin/Brisbane, where a shared love of hardware led to evening jams after work. Now split between Naarm/Melbourne and London, their new EP rekindles that same spark, capturing the immediacy and warmth of their machine-driven approach.
