hooks4hands

Forming in 2010, comprising of members in local bands from the north and south of Perth, Western Australia, and sharing a love of Hardcore/Metal/Drum and Bass/Techno and everything electronic, Hooks4Hands teamed up with Drum and Bass producer GPower to fuse hardcore/metal with Electro Drum and Bass on a mission to create an intense hard hitting sonic soundscape a step away from other genres. Having just finished a 5 track demo, Hooks4Hands with their spectacular mask wearing, laser shooting live show will be releasing their debut 10 track album "Ignite Me" in July 2012.

Redshape

Trying to describe Redshape's sound is kind of a hard task, sitting somewhere between everything in dance music and his very own imagination. It's not minimal, not maximal and always historical respecting the vibe of Detroit. Repetition is something Redshape works hard to prevent, so his live shows - which brought him to nearly every known European club - morph and develop everytime to never play the same show a second time.

Mission Control

Melbourne, Australia based quartet who play distortion drenched shoegaze taking cues from My Bloody Valentine, The Stone Roses, Sonic Youth and Deerhunter. A story that is sure to be blown out of proportion before Mission Control's career is over, is how they got to know renowned French producer Phillipe Zdar (Cassius): the story goes that Zdar added a song by the band to his Myspace page, unbeknown to the band, before contacting them and lavishing his praises on their sound. Zdar is now rumoured to be producing the bands debut album later this year.

Brodinski

Brodinski, 1 has his right hand on the hardened minimalist edge and his left hand on the electro party scene. He's part of the fluokids phenomenon. His sets are clean but the tracks are dirty, and the "mix tapes" he offers on his blog never fail to disappoint.
Baby Djs are awake since 2006, be careful Brodinski may be the bad boy of this blogaddicted gang !
Coming from Reims, he started music at 15 and just never stopped hitting the dancefloor harder and harder...

Sonic Animation

Sonic Animation were an Australian band that made electronic music from many genres. Rupert Keiller and Adrian Cartwright were with the group through the entirety of its existence, but they also performed with others including Steve Berschtick, who was with the group when it formed, and Erica Mclean who sung the female vocals on the new tracks on their greatest hits album Eleven. The group split up in 2006.

Carl Cox

A perennial favorite as the best DJ in the world according to fans as well as the major mixing magazines, Carl Cox has been a part of Britain's dance scene from the heady days of disco through to the global clubland of the new millennium, with temporary pit stops covering hip-hop, the rare groove movement, and the immense rave revolution of the late '80s. That large span of time has undoubtedly affected his choice of records, since Cox routinely detours through breakbeat, Italian house, and the dance mainstream during his usual sets of hard techno.
