'Be Randy' and 'Hot Sauce' tech house producer, and fresh off his appearance at Falls Festival, Torren Foot returns to the festival stage this weekend on the Gold Coast when he performs at Circus Paradise Music Festival.
He'll be joined by other electronic music heavy hitters Charlotte de Witte, Hot Dub Time Machine, Bag Raiders, Dom Dolla, Motez, Oliver Huntemann and Leftfield (DJ set) plus a stack more.
But before he jets north, Torren Foot shares his love of Cuban cigars. "A couple of years ago I went on a trip to Cuba and picked up a bit of a penchant for hand-rolled Cuban cigars," he says.
"The history, the art, the ritual, the ceremony; I love every part of it. There’s not many things in our increasingly busy lives where we take an hour or so to just stop and be.
"There are about two dozen Cuban cigar brands, or Marcas as they’re called, all of which are owned by the Cuban government. The whole country produces tobacco leaves and the government determines the volume and quality of leaves given to each Marca.
"It’s all deeply political, wildly inconsistent and an industry seemingly devoid of reason. But when you put fire to leaf, sit back, take a deep breath (no inhale), and blow that creamy Cuban smoke out into the air, none of that matters.
"I’m going to run you through my top 5 Cuban cigars."
