DIVE TEAM 5

Dive Team 5 are a Melbourne instrumental group playing tape-era funk and soul as one continuous, fully segued set, featuring Andreas Mikulcic (organ), Nate Scott (guitar), Jamie Stroud (bass), Laura Kirkwood (percussion) and Dan McKoy (drums). The band is built around organ, guitar and a locked-in rhythm section, mixing deep-groove originals with instrumental takes on tunes they love.

The core of the group has been playing together for over a decade as the rhythm section of Fulton Street, with studio credits alongside Thando and Lauren Brydie. That shared history shows. Since their debut album First Splash came out in 2020, they've been a regular fixture on Melbourne stages and organ nights, with a long run of appearances at Bar 303's Kickin' The B series.

Their next record, You Only Dive Twice, is due in 2026 and picks up where the first one left off: uninterrupted ensemble recording, recorded live and in motion.
