With one of electronic music’s true originals James Holden at the helm, Border Community remains one of the foremost labels out there. It’s a cause for much excitement, then, to learn that Melbourne-based touring company Novel is bringing Border Community to Sydney and Melbourne in March. Three of the label’s stars are leading the way: Avus, Fairmont & Luke Abbot.

One of the leading lights of the now defunct Output Recordings, Abbot fit right into the Border Community family, producing the much-acclaimed Holkham Drones album on the imprint. Fairmont is one of the guises of Canadian studio whiz Jake Fairley, with a 2007 album and a string of 12-inches for the label. Rounding out the bill, Avus is a key player in Holden’s crew, having earned his stripes as the warm-up DJ for the hallowed Border Community nights at London’s The End.
