MARK N
Apart from the one of a kind turntablism, rise & fall of Bloody Fist records, multiple DMC titles and hardened values Mark n needs no write up, blurb or introduction, as a matter of fact if you were to try and interview or take a photo of him you would surely be met with a paparazzo hating swift boot to go.

NETZAIR
Netzair has spent years experimenting, shooting and producing his own unique content. Crosscutting live, graphic compositions to sync, his style allows you to see beyond a reel of pleasant images - you see the music. Striving to make the night's audio entertainment tangible, bringing sound to life, the visual experience is especially suited to an electronic environment where bass, glitch and snare can be translated optically. With a passion for live performance, it's not uncommon to see Netzair pushing out vision for ten or more hours straight, on festival stages alongside International and local Dj's, as well as club nights and community based video art events.

XIAN
Hailing from the wastelands of Bacchus Marsh, Xian's unique grafting of juxtaposing genres is his claim to infamy, from grindcore to crack house, crudstep to greasy R&B and anything it takes to get your knuckle hairs on end. Solid kick drums and snares puncture the ambience in a shit storm of hard hitting electronics. Supporting the likes of Clark (UK) U-zique (UK) Evol Intent (USA) Exile (UK) Enduser (USA) Goth Trad (JAP) Richard Divine (USA) to name a few. With local releases on System Corrupt and Black Lotus, internationally on Omeko (JAP) Wrong Music (UK) Acidsmover (RU) and BRK (FR) to airplay from TripleJ, Shibuya FM (JAP) and PBSFM. Get your freak on!
