The acts:
KL
Discovering hip hop was the just the start for KL.
He sort out how it was made. Then whilst a teenager, his older work peers would play Will E Tell tapes at work amongst other techno artists.
KL went along to these parties where he fell in love with techno and breaks.Being exposed to Jeff Mills, Surgeon, Ben Sims, Umek. KL loved techno.
Whilst this was going on he started to produce his own tracks on PC then moved on to hardware.
Discovering Dnb as a second love to techno, KL went about incorporating all sorts of beats and tempos into his live set creations.
One of the true live players left that doesn't use a laptop, KL can be seen playing regularly around Melbourne about once a month.

A re-cap of acts playing this Saturday:
The Avatar
Developing a passion for music from a young age, The Avatar blends his varied influences in a unique style ranging from ambient sound scapes to balls out rocking techno. Being a proficient DJ, guitarist, bass player and drummer, Avatar has an understanding of melody and rhythm that develop with each track that unfolds for the listener.
Be prepared for a musical journey each time he plays because you never know what may happen!
Ehsan Gelsi
Educated in the ways of Beethoven, Strauss and Mozart, Ehsan took to music naturally and found it his greatest partner in life. Founding Bubble & Squeak in early 2000 Ehsan went on to develop himself as a versatile and highly proficient producer whose technical expertise coupled with his unique and broad musical palette led to Bubble & Squeak becoming a leading feature at the forefront of underground Australian dance music.
Ehsan has toured nationally and internationally playing alongside Thomas Schumacher, The Hacker, David Caretta, Ellen Alien, Michael Mayer and many more.
Ehsan’s new music is busting styles apart and blowing dancefloors apart with it’s original and world-class sound.
Grumpo
Left in a the child's room with only a radio, sci fi books and a television that only shows prime time. Grows up with a love of technology, music and making things work. Struggles with a fear of the dark places.
Well written music is the nearest thing to a sense of the Divine Knows there's never an easy answer. Realises the secret of life is harmony.
I've always felt that music talks through me in many forms, each as challenging not only my own limitations but my willingness to embrace other voices and form.
KL
Discovering hip hop was the just the start for KL. He sort out how it was made. Then whilst a teenager, his older work peers would play Will E Tell tapes at work amongst other techno artists.

Roxy Moron

Rusty O’Hara
Always an avid music fan, from early exposure to electronic influenced music, and growing up listening to everything from funk to goth and ebm, Detroit techno, early rave, Teutonic trance and goa; curiosity led Rusty into explorations into sound and synthesis, mucking around on primitive trackers and drum machines. This early passion led itself into production, influenced by multitudes of artists and styles from across the electronic music spectrum and beyond, Rusty fuses elements of techno, trance, IDM, psy and progressive into his own unique style.
