The Australian documentary When the Dust Settles was a 37-minute film produced about uranium mining for the electrical trades.[1] It was influential in Australian nuclear policy.

When the Dust Settles is the third full-length album from Australian hip hop group, Downsyde and was released in December 2004 through Obese Records. It was produced by band members Optamus, Dazastah, Cheeky and Armee. All tracks were recorded and mixed at various members' homes except for flutes on "Bring It All Black" and "Arabian Knights", which were recorded at Studio Couch in Fremantle, Western Australia.

The album was reviewed by Triple J on their website, and was nominated for the 2005 J Award. Several tracks from the album received airplay from radio stations around Australia, including 4ZZZ (Brisbane),FBi (Sydney),3RRR (Melbourne) and RTRFM (Perth).

Downsyde was formed in Perth, Western Australia when MC Optamus (Scott Griffiths) and MC Dyna-mikes (Shahbaz Rind) were in Year 11 at Craigie Senior High School in 1996. The duo released a tape demo called Behind the Bucket, selling copies at two local shops. The group added a third MC, Dazastah (D. Reutens), whom they met at Leederville TAFE, and DJ Armee (Damien Allia) on turntables, met at the Hyde Park Hotel where he would DJ on Monday nights. Later, the group expanded to include percussionist Salvatore (Salvatore Pizzata) (ex-Beaverloop) and Cheeky (Mat Cheetham) (ex-Circus Murders) on keyboards, loops & samples joining the group.
