David Haberfeld, aka Honeysmack, is a pioneer of Australia’s electronic and techno scenes, renowned for raw, improvisational hardware-based live sets that fuse Acid, Techno, and experimental sound. Emerging from the underground of the 1990s, he has remained a defining force in live electronic music, continually pushing its boundaries while staying deeply connected to the culture that shaped him. Bringing a punk ethos to live techno, Honeysmack thrives on spontaneity, intensity, and a hands-on approach to sound. Rejecting rigid, pre-programmed sets, his performances unfold as a high-voltage interplay of chaos and control—visceral, physical, and closer in spirit to a live band than a conventional DJ set. This is not DJing. Using drum machines, synthesizers, and modular gear, he builds and reshapes music entirely in real time—no pre-made tracks, no safety nets. Each performance is unrepeatable, driven by instinct and shaped through interaction with machines and the dancefloor
