When putting together this Journey there is no other Sydney based DJ / Producer to have warming up especially when you can see a genuine love for what he is doing and that naturally feeds back to his audience, we present;
YokoO • (MGF | All Day I Dream | Sydney)
Not an Englishman in New York but a Frenchman in Sydney, Julien Beltzung aka YokoO is no stranger to house music in all its deepest forms. A studio head in the true sense of the word, Julien spends much of his time pondering basslines and warm synth riffs that heat up dance floors the world over. With releases on highly regarded labels such as ...Musik Gewinnt Freunde, Moodmusic, Plastic City, Kina Music, Affin and Beef Records, Julien has marked out a spot for himself in the global house music scene with talent being sought after from every corner of he world. His musical intuition drives his production and his full groove based approach to seductive house music turns heads of many a label boss from Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Matthew Dekay & Lee Burridge and Alex Flatner no less. As well racking up plays from the likes of John Digweed, Anthony Pappa, Gorge, Charles Webster, Sasse and Valentino Kanzyani, Julien’s music has proven time and time again it can reach the record bags of the DJing elite in every continent.

Ben Ashton • (Bad Apple | Finely Tuned | Sydney)
Since arriving in Sydney with little more than a backpack, a record box, and high hopes in the spring of 2011, Ben Ashton has quickly established himself as one of his adopted city’s busiest DJs. His list of supports in 2012 alone reads like a who’s who of the deep (and sometimes dark) tech house sound he favors – think Radio Slave, Subb-an, Margaret Dygas, Nick Curly, Francois K, Yousef, Prosume...r, Thomas Schumacher, and warming up for Huxley at his own Bad Apple night for starters – though it’s his ability to control a diverse range of dance floors that has seen him become Sydney’s newest warm-up specialist.

This success comes as no surprise, anyone who manages to release on the labels of artists such as Ricard Villalobos (Sei es Drum), Sven Väth (Cocoon) and Radioslave (Rekids) within a year and gets voted “producer of the year” (2010 & 2011) by the GROOVE magazine readers for two consecutive years, has doubtlessly worked his way up to the small circle of artists which pack the most renowned clubs and festivals as headliners.
