Supported by Ransom and CWD!!

$25 presale from inthemix.com.au / Espy Bottleshop / DMC / Central Station and Polyester

A-TRAK
When I was 13 I took my bar mitzvah money and bought myself some turntables and a mixer. I practiced for about 18 hours a day. Then I came out of my basement, packed my lunch and won a bunch of world championships. Joy! I formed a DJ crew called the Allies with Craze and friends. We toured the world for a while. I also founded Audio Research Records with my big brother and big homie Dave so that we could release music that we like. Next thing you know Kanye hired me as his DJ. You can watch the whole enchilada on my new DVD, which just came out. And now I'm working on an album. I'm an Aries and I really like eggs benedict. Badabim, badaboom.

ANDY SMITH (DYNAMO PRODUCTIONS)
Andy Smith was the first DJ to release a multi-genre mix album on a major label. When his mix-CD The Document hit the streets back in 1998, it became the soundtrack for a generation who had heard Coldcut's Journeys By DJs but needed to hear more - The Document filled the void. Following on the success of The Document, which sold in excess of 100,000 copies, Andy released Document 2 and Document 3 to critical and popular acclaim. Vinyl copies of all three are sought after and regularly go for a kingâ€™s ransom on Ebay! This appreciation of different genres made Smith the ideal person to provide sample material for Portishead on their first two albums. He went on to make his name as the bandâ€™s international tour DJ â€“ reflecting their respect for both the art of digging for breaks and hip-hop scratch DJ-ing. Hip-hop elements formed the basis of the unique Portishead sound. He has also worked with Scott Hendy (Boca 45) under the name Dynamo Productions. Their album Analogue, which notched up a top-ranking five out of five in Mojo magazine, featured San Diego-based MC Profile from the much respected Sound Providers Crew.

Hey Lucie, is there any spare room at the Espy? Coz I think I might as well just live there while I'm down in Melbourne. Looks like I'm going to be there pretty much every night anyways.

EDIT: Just realised this is the same night as MB.comBD. Maybe you should organise a shuttle bus southside or sommit?
