about

Honeysmack
Australian electronic producer, performer and improvisor: Acid Techno and experimental electronica.
Dr David Haberfeld is Honeysmack the doctor of live Acid Techno. Labelled a maverick producer and performer who brings a punk-rock aesthetic to electronic music. He firmly believes the essence of electronic dance music resides in live improvised performance, not DJing. Honeysmack is recognized as someone who’s significantly contributed to Australia’s electronic dance music community for almost 3 decades. Equal parts performer, producer, prankster, punk, disrupter and academic, but all electronic – Honeysmack’s reputation for challenging audiences by pushing the stylistic limitations of Techno is common throughout his work.
His dynamic performances and productions are purely hardware based and centre on Roland’s iconic machines of the 1980s including the TB-303, TR-909 and TR-808. These machines were pivotal in the development of electronic dance music, and David continues to explore new contexts with these vintage machines with a mix of new hardware and modular synthesis.
His work as an energetic and colourful live electronic act has earned him rare respect on the Australian live rock and EDM circuits in the 1990s with his punk approach and attitude. David’s work engages audiences with a liveliness that is totally improvised, unique and distinctly Honeysmack– best experienced live!
Every performance and release are pure improvisations with an arsenal of drum machines and synths. There are no laptops, there are no records, there are no CDJs, there are no USBs, this is not DJing, this is LIVE Acid Techno performed and produced in the moment. His PhD in music composition focused on how he creates Acid Techno bangers in real-time!
“Maverick acid-house and techno producer David Haberfeld, aka Honeysmack, is one of the constellation of talents who gave Melbourne the name Techno City in the ‘90s. His dedication to the art of analogue wizardry is legendary, especially as he was one producer who believed the essence of dance music was in live performance, not DJing; and he was known for bringing a punk-rock spirit to electronic music. His 1999 classic Walk on Acid is instantly recognisable for its sample of Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach’s Walk on By, but it’s a cut far above the usual rave mashup, with its techno-soul keys, its sick drum kick and, of course, its electrifying 303 action” — Jim Poe Inthemix 2007.
