Bio - Edu Imbernon 

Edu Imbernon is a great example of how a young artist can quickly reach the top in the electronic scene… it’s his talent as producer and DJ that’s got him there.

After the worldwide hit “El baile alemán” (Liebe Detail, 2009) produced along his friend Coyu and appointed "Best Underground Track of the Year" by Beatport , several tracks for lauded labels like Get Physical, Young Turks, Skint, Stil vor Talent, Cr2, Noir Music, Trapez, Great Stuff, Diynamic and his own label Eklektisch.His quality as a producer and his ability to add a nu-disco tint to the dancefloor edge of his tracks have led him to remix bands such as The XX showcasing this homogenous blend of electronica, house and indie. Succesful remixes for Maya Jane Coles and X-Press 2 also ensued.

The emergence of Edu Imbernon on the dance scene couldn't go by unnoticed by the specialised press which has acknowledged his artistic quality by awarding him several prizes: Best New Producer 2010 and Best Track 2010 and 2011 at the Spanish Dance Music awards, and also named an up-and-coming star by Beatport in 2010.His aim is to make music that can be felt, full of energy which will connect with his audiences. 

"This is the only way that people will remember your music, trying to make them feel something special and making them dance” says this young artist who's already played on 4 continents

Bio - Maxxi Sound System 

Before the runaway success of club hit ‘Criticize’ which exploded everywhere at the beginning of 2011 from Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show to being featured on Beats in Space Best of 2010 Sam Watts had been DJing, putting on parties and working hard in his studio for a number of years in his home town of Brighton.

His follow up single was the first track on Nurvous Records (a new label from NYC legendary label Nervous Records), the track Open Your Eyes on Jamie Jones Hot Waves label and recent EP on needwant records has seen huge support from Radio1’s Jaymo & Andy George (who put him in their Future Stars of 2012 show) and DJs across the board from Maceo Plex, Danny Daze, Tensnake, Morgan Geist and Aeroplane to Tiefschwarz, Groove Armada and Sasha. Remixes in 2011 have also been flying out for the like of Hercules & Love Affair, The 2 Bears and Parallel Dance Ensemble the latter which hit the #1 spot on Beatport’s indie dance chart.

Maxxi Soundsystem has already toured extensively in 2011 taking in Glastonbury, Glade Festival, Creamfields, Sankeys Manchester, Flux Leeds, Disco Bloodbath, Rex Club Paris, Athens and Fabric; proving he can rock any dancefloor that’s put in front of him; playing a set made up of his own edits and remixes plus music plucked from his 8 years experience playing in clubs.

2012 is set to be a big year for Sam with new original material already signed to Futureboogie and Wolf Music plus a remix for the re-issue of classic disco label SAM Records (his track has been picked for a special vinyl-only release shared with Soul Clap) due out in Feb he is now concentrating on new original material with some exciting collaborations in the pipeline.

░ ▒ SHADES OF GRAY BIOGRAPHY ░ ▒

In the summer of 2005 Czech national Michal Schwa landed in Australia with a bag full of vinyl, a string of DJ gigs and the promise of unchartered territory ahead. Soon after he met local producer Nick West; they discovered they shared a passion for electronic music and Michal offered Nick the opportunity to join him as a partner on his newly formed label Beef Records.

United by a love of producing and playing, and disillusionment with a music industry obsessed with genres, they soon began performing and working together in the studio under the Shades Of Gray moniker. 

Michal and Nick quickly gained a reputation as one of the hottest acts on the Sydney underground scene by regularly rocking the floor at legendary Reckless Republic parties in Kings Cross. Schwa was resident DJ at Sydney's finest after-hours party Spice, where Shades debuted their unreleased tracks in the early days to rapturous response.

It wasn't long after that the boys were touring internationally, performing from Tokyo to Moscow and Paris to San Francisco. During their trips to Europe they would be based out of Schwa’s Prague studio, which is where some of their biggest tunes were produced including the download chart dominating track ‘Moog in the House’.

In the few short years since that first connection in 2005, Shades Of Gray have made a huge impact impact on the house music scene; Shur-i-Kan, Miguel Migs, Luna City Express, Miss Kittin, Jimpster, Pezzner, Laurent Garnier, Smash TV and The Timewriter are just the tip of an iceberg of fans. Their work, released on labels including Om Records, Dark Energy, Boxer, Tronicsole and Lost My Dog has also led them to have their work remixed by more of their supporters, including Ian Pooley, Milton Jackson, The Timewriter, Soul Minority, Boris Brejcha, Ramon Tapia, Alex Kenji, Norm De Plume and Jef K.

Their debut album and career pinnacle to date, ‘Soul Machine’, was critically acclaimed by the press, receiving glowing reviews in DJ Mag and DeBug, and coverage from Resident Advisor amongst others, while its tracks were licensed to several mainstream brand compilations (Clubstar, Defected, Om records). Furthermore UK based magazine Dj Mag included ‘Soul Machine’ in the 50 best albums of 2012.

LATE NITE TUFF GUY

WHERE: The Island
WHEN: Saturday, February 9, 2013

Aww yeah, 6 months after one of our ALL TIME favourite parties down at The Civic, we're bringing the one, the only, Late Nite Tuff Guy back up to Sydney, this time for a glorious afternoon on The Island. For those of you lucky enough to experience the last show, you'll know what kind of extraordinary sounds are in store - and to be able to host one of the Australia's most legendary DJs on a stunning harbour venue in summer is just so good. 

HMC first made his mark in the early '80s, when he was one of the first DJs in the country to spin Chicago house and Detroit techno. He made his production debut back in 1991 with the 100% Juice EP on Juice Records, Australia's first techno label. In 1995 he released "Phreakin'" as the first twelve-inch on Dirty House Records, which went on to become an international hit and put Adelaide on the world map as what people were calling the "Aussie Detroit". All of this spells one thing: PIONEER. It's not often people can legitimately be labelled "The Godfather" of something, but not many people will dispute the title being handed to HMC when it comes to Australian techno. 

In recent years, Bianchetti has made a prolific return to producing, both as HMC and under the moniker Late Nite Tuff Guy. "I Get Deeper" had a truly massive impact all over the world, and his string of amazing releases on disco edits imprint Dessert Island Discs indicates that he's back with a vengeance and a newfound excitement for sharing the music he's passionate about. At the last ONS we got a taste of just how deep his catalogue runs - seems like only a tiny number of his edits have been released to the public, so you'll have to catch him in the flesh to hear some of his hidden treasures. He's also been talking about making the move to Berlin so make the most of him still being here in Aus!

BUTCH (GER)

WHERE: The Abercrombie
WHEN: Saturday, February 9, 2013

***TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM RA/PULSE RADIO//1ST RELEASE $20***

http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?441959

http://pulseradio.net/events/view/s-agland-an-afternoon-with-butch-ger-by-mantra-collective-09-02-2013

Mantra Collective are turning The Abercrombie into a vibrant jungle for their exclusive one off event “An Afternoon with Butch”. Expect vines, trees and wild animals coupled with cutting edge house and tech all day long. 

Butch is returning after his whirl-wind Australian tour with John Digweed in early 2012 and amazing Essential Mix on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show. Over 100 releases in 5 years have enabled Butch from Germany to express his versatility and brute-fully force his way to becoming a shaping artist in the worldwide landscape of electronic music. 

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. 

With support from local talent including Aboutjack, Whitecat, Antoine Vice, Space Junk and Ben Ashton, this will be one wild party… literally!

M.A.N.D.Y.

WHERE: Goldfish
WHEN: Saturday, February 9, 2013

Another massive booking by the team at Goldfish on Saturday 2nd Feb as The Mile High Club & Musik Matters are pleased to announce Patrick from M.A.N.D.Y. 

There is an air of mystery shrouding the true meaning behind the acronym of M.A.N.D.Y., an alias which embodies the mutual talents of childhood friends Philipp Jung and Patrick Bodmer. The pair readily indulge this curiosity by toying with various clever possibilities, including Me AND You, but the truth is likely a giggle under each of their talented breaths. P and P have carved a unique niche in electronic music by consistently selecting productions that induce their audience into a somatic frenzy. On the platform of their aptly titled Get Physical label, M.A.N.D.Y. has achieved massive success in colluding to create music that simply makes bodies move. Their foot stamping, hair flying passion is the ultimate expression of a dance music phenomenon for many years.

When M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade joined as musical soul mates with DJ T., first in Frankfurt, then in Berlin, Get Physical produced a caliber of electricity that rippled throughout the EDM community and into the relative mainstream. Philipp's charm and savvy, Patrick's allusive artistry, DJ T.'s killer entrepreneurial sense and Booka Shade's collaborative genius combined to form a masterpiece of intelligent design that reflects romantic sensibility and technical virtuosity. Together, they push the boundaries of dance music to compile an enviable arsenal of electro kissing house while caressing disco and flirting with techno. Body Language was the ubiquitous hit of 2005 and M.A.N.D.Y.'s Fabric Series three years later cemented their reputation as two of the most captivating selectors on the planet. One of their most recent prestige was a complication for Renaissance in 2009 which was met with tremendous accolades and described by Resident Advisor as "maturity, smarts, and cohesion...that is rare these days."

Patrick knows exactly which buttons to press to make that bass jiggle up your spine and seduce your body free… Don't miss your chance to catch M.A.N.D.Y. In the intimate surroundings of The Goldfish..

HEIDI WAREHOUSE PARTY - BBC RADIO 1, GET PHYSICAL

WHERE: Secret Warehouse
WHEN: 25th of January 2013

One of Sydney’s inner city warehouse's dance floor is about to get a dark and dirty sheet of techno-tronic vibes shadowing from above and cursing through its veins when house and techno goddess DJ Heidi reigns over the decks on Friday 25th of Jan. As a cute, little blonde bombshell, she may exude that quirky innocence but you’ve been warned: Close the door and turn off the lights, and she will turn on you — with claws out, in an all-out audio assault. As one of BBC Radio 1′s “In New DJs We Trust” as well as hosting her own ‘Radio 1's Residency’ on Thursday nights, Heidi has been known for tripping the radio wires with bass-jackin’ techno beats and causing all those via the streams to move in coinciding booty grinding motions. Good God, can you imagine how this will all sound in a warehouse?! AMAZING.

SHLOHMO (US)

WHERE: Civic Underground
WHEN: Thursday, February 7, 2013

Future Classic & Astral People are joining forces for a special evening with LA beat-visionary SHLOHMO, performing an exclusive Sydney sideshow whilst touring with the national St Jerome’s Laneway Festival.

Lo-Fi beat maker, field recording enthusiast and WEDIDIT Collective boss Shlohmo is no ordinary producer. At just twenty one years old the experimental artist (better known as Henry Laufer) has carved a sound from psychedelic compositions sitting between Hip Hop, synth funk and abstract beatwork not just inspired – but inspiring - a generation of artists unafraid to sound a little weird.

Releasing almost exclusively on the LA-based Friends of Friends imprint, Shlohmo's multiple EP’s and mini-albums preceded 2011’s LP ‘ Bad Vibes’ introducing a refined aesthetic to a continually innovative sound. Remixes for the likes of Toro Y Moi, Souljah Boy, Drake, Jeremih, Little Dragon and Australia’s very own Flume has allowed him to meld his space-infused weirdness to hip hop influence, whilst pushing the likes of Ryan Hemsworth and RL Grime through the ‘WEDIDIT’ label collective.

All of the above contribute in some form to a unique and highly anticipated live show, appearing in Australia for the very first time. Experience the life and sound of one of the USA’s most innovative and genre defying artists in a rare and extremely intimate setting.

PETER VAN HOESEN

WHERE: One22
WHEN: Friday, January 25, 2013

Tickets on RA: http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?430134

Peter Van Hoesen Is Belgium's Peter Van Hoesen the techno artist of 2012? We think so. The evidence is compelling. A new album 'Perceiver' on his label Time To Express, a new album as Sendai with Yves De Mey, podcasts for XLR8R, mnmlssgs, CLR and Electric Deluxe. He played the coveted Sunday night set at Japan's legendary Labyrinth festival melting minds over 4 hours, a 4D sound performance at ADE and tearing up clubs around the world every other week - he's been pretty much untouchable.

Currently living in Berlin, Peter got his start running around the Brussels electronic music scene as DJ and producer as early as 1993. Playing everything from straight-up dancefloor jackin' techno to advanced abstract electronica, his tracks and remixes have been released on his own labels Time To Express and Foton as well as through Meakusma, Ostgut Ton, CLR, Hotflush, Exone, Token, Komisch, Lan Muzic, Curle and many more. Peter well and truly made his name known with the launch of 'Entropic City' his first LP in 2010 to much critical acclaim.

This is Peter's second trip to Sydney, his first club set here, and his only Sydney show. We are very, very excited to be part of this.

Supporting Peter will be Sydney's DJ Trinity (4our) and James Walsh (Anomaly)

DJ Trinity -

As a DJ, Trinity's sound has continued to evolve over the past few years to a fluid and deep, dark and dubby, atmospheric and emotional take on dancefloor techno. As part of the crew behind the Loosekaboose and 4our events, she's been responsible for bringing such names as Steffi and Eric Cloutier to our shores. As Trinity and Beyond, she's a number of releases on Pinksilver and Moodmusic that have shown leanings from dub to techno to acid, and have caught the ear, and been remixed by such names as Deepchild, Pezzner and XDB. We feel that Trinity will perfectly complement PVH, and can't wait to see what she does on the night,.

James Walsh -

One of the new breed of talent rising though Sydney's underground, James marathon performances at recent outdoor even Anomaly has got toungues wagging all over town. His sound, a psychedelic and slow burning take on deep house, techno and abstract ambient grooves has been honed through bouncing around Sydney's warehouse scene, Japan's techno clubs and festivals and he has an amazing eye and ear for those impossible to find pieces of vinyl from all over the world. We look forward to what James will pull out as he warms up the room.

DEZ ANDRES & SIMON CALDWELL

WHERE: Tatler
WHEN: Friday, January 25, 2013

--- RA Tickets ---

http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?435946

----------------

Boom Boom is proud to present one of our favourite producers and DJ's straight out the D. DJ Dez Andres aka Andrés.. 

Dez Andrés has been releasing classically-informed house, soul, hip-hop and funk since 1997. Moodymann is his closest contemporary. Being part of such famous groups as Slum Village and being close friends with J Dilla, KDJ, Amp Fiddler and just being part of the collective underground in Detroit - Dez has forged a name for himself in the underground for many years. 

Dez was releasing stuff under "Mahogani" (KDJ Label) for many years including some cult classics including Andrés, Andrés II, and Andrés III. Since then Moodymann has pushed Dez to start his own label "La Vida". In 2012 "La Vida" came into the scene and the very first release has been a crazy sensation with tracks "New For U" and "Jazz Dance". 

"New For U" was rated track of the year on both RA and FACT Magazine which has also cemented Dez's status. His other releases on "La Vida" were sold out on Juno the minute they were on pre-order, making each one of Dez's releases rare and much strived for. 

Besides being an amazing producer, the most important thing for us is at Boom Boom is having an amazing DJ as well. With his hip-hop background and his crazy abilities behind the decks, Dez's sets are legendary. His ability to transcend genres and push boundaries is one of the main reasons we wanted to get Dez here to Australia for the very first time as Andrés. 

Make sure you come down early as we have the one and only Simon Caldwell (Mad Racket) down supporting on the night. Simon needs no introduction as he is another close friend to the Boom Boom family. Along side Simon we have the resident Boom Boom DJ's Daniel Lupica and Karim laying down the beats.. 

Tickets are going to sell out. We are back to Boom Boom HQ's at Tatler. Making this a very special and intimate night for 150 very lucky guests. 

Don't sleep on this - once we are sold out, that's it. There will be only 30 tickets on the door at $40.

SONIDO with SIMON CALDWELL

WHERE: One22

WHEN: Saturday, January 12, 2013

After a jam-packed launch party SONIDO returns for another house and techno love affair at our favourite underground club One22.

Last time round, with an unplanned extended set Simon Caldwell tore the club apart and turned the dance floor into pandemonium until the lights came up. So without question we had to get him back in the driving seat to do what he does best. 

Simon is a master in his field and has been lighting up dancefloors around the globe since the early nineties. From his legendary Mad Racket parties to sharing the stage with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke and Derrick May to name but a few, Simon has done it all. Catch Simon every Monday night for Sunset on FBI Radio on 94.5FM or www.fbiradio.com/program/monday-sunset/

Balearic in spirit, but rooted firmly in house and nu disco we would like to introduce to Australia, UK dj and producer Tang. Tang jets out to Sydney for his Australian debut bringing his delectable musical treats for you to sample. Past, present and future classics guaranteed. With a residency at London's 93 Feet East and festivals including Glastonbury under his belt it brings us great pleasure in welcoming him to Sonido.

And of course your Sonido residents, Tom Harwood, Ryan Kenna and Andy Myatt

HOT CHIP (Felix & Al)

WHERE: Trinity Bar
WHEN: Friday, January 11, 2013

PANG! is pleased to welcome to Trinity Bar, one of the biggest acts on the planet HOT CHIP for a dj set performed by members FELIX & AL. Lock the date in your calendar, as this is set to be one of the biggest shows in the capital for 2013!!!

HOT CHIP (FELIX & AL DJ SET)

http://www.facebook.com/hotchip

http://hotchip.co.uk/

Since its official formation in 2000 by old school friends Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard, Hot Chip has constantly pushed the boundaries of what pop music can be. At fifteen or sixteen Alexis and Joe would spend their Friday evenings playing acoustic guitar and hanging out. Joe would play songs on his guitar and Alexis would help him record things on his computer at home. Even at such a young age the duo tried to record things properly. They were both very serious about music and an obsession soon developed. The name Hot Chip was set in stone, even then. At the age of about 16 they played a lo-fi lunchtime gig at their school in Putney where they covered “Range Life,” by Pavement, “ Walking with Jesus,” by Spaceman 3 and performed some of their own songs on organ and electric guitar. They both listened to The Beatles, The Kinks and shared a love for Prince, Stevie Wonder and Tim Buckley too. After school they went to different universities but stayed in touch, getting into new things like Rodney Jerkins’ productions and trying to create things that were inspired by Aphex Twin and Destiny’s Child in their own little way. The eclecticism of their influences was to have a profound and distinguishable effect on the music that Taylor and Goddard would go on to produce with Hot Chip.

In 2003 they signed to Moshi Moshi and 2004 saw the release of their first studio album Coming On Strong, an ambitious record that displayed a distinct aversion to the aggressive nature of processed digital dance music and instead reintroduced listeners to its humanity and original spirit. They were later joined by Felix Marten (programming/synths,) Al Doyle (cello, synths, guitar, horn) and Owen Clarke (guitar, synths & visual artist) who each brought their own unique skills to complete the indefatigable 5 headed pop colossus. At this point the newly formed quintet signed a U.S and U.K record deal with DFA records and EMI. 2006 saw the release of their second album The Warning, which was nominated for both The Mercury Prize and a Grammy award. This album presented Hot Chip’s easy, accessible eclecticism and established a signature pop aesthetic entailing wild electronics, off kilter beats and uniquely intoxicating musical experimentation.

From here, mainstream appeal snowballed. “Over and Over” and “Boy From School,” both reached the top 40. “Over and Over,” which gained acclaim for its music video directed by Nima Nourizadeh was voted as NME’s single of the year. The Warning was followed in 2007 by Made in the Dark, a gold-selling, third studio album that was awash with Hot Chip’s trademark creative bravery. The finished record was an up-front, coherent and melodically bold testament to Hot Chip’s creative talent. “Ready for the Floor,” which was released in January 2008 reached no. 6 in the UK charts. What followed was a big year for the band with guest appearances on The Jonathan Ross Show and Never Mind the Buzzcocks in the UK as well as The Carson Daly show and Jimmy Kimmel in the U.S.

After completing a world tour in 2009 they returned to London to record their fourth album, One Life Stand, which was released in 2010 by Parlophone Records. Warmer, deeper and more stripped back than their previous album, for this record they turned to a proliferation of influences as diverse as the burgeoning UK funky scene to soul music, modern R&B, Northern Soul, Gospel, Golden Age Electronica, Detroit House, Southern soul, the sounds of Arthur Russell, Prince and Theo Parish. True to their signature style, the finished album adeptly presented infectious dance floor fillers alongside songs of intimacy and melancholy. With their first single release; the title track “One Life Stand,” they pulled off the rare trick of executing both at the same time. 

Furthermore, for the album they enlisted the considerable talents of two legendary innovators in their fields: Fimber Bravo ( Steel n’ Skin,) on steel pans and Charles Hayward (The Heat) on drums. Hot Chip supported the release of this album by returning to the live arena with a sell out, critically acclaimed UK tour supported by Norwegian electro-troupe CassioKids as well as one man electronic troubadour Rob Smoughton aka Grovesnor. The tour culminated in a special later-nighter in Brixton with special guests Simian Mobile

Disco, Spring Heel Jack and Zongamin.

April of 2009 saw the release of their second single, “I Feel Better,” an epic hit of euphoric hands-in-the- air bliss that was publicly received as towering Euro classic. The track became the most blogged about track from One Life Stand and regularly featured on The Hype Machine as well as Elbows hottest artist charts and went on to garner their first Radio 1 A-List single . Hot Chip also enlisted the talents of the multitalented actor, director and & comedian Peter Serafinowicz to direct the “I Feel Better,” music video. A rich and varied selection of remixers such as Richard X, Den Haan and Ill Blu were also chosen to create storming remixes of the track with added vocals by Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (aka Will Oldham) one of the most sought after, brilliant and beguiling musicians of American folk.

Having already stormed Glastonbury as penultimate headliners on The Other Stage, In 2010 the band united with long term friends and pioneering musical comrades LCD Soundsystem to a series of co-headline play shows in U.S and U.K during which they debuted “Ends of the Earth,” from their forthcoming album due for release later this year.

The band is also known for its DJ talent, DJing regularly worldwide and having released several mix CDs and including 2007’s DJ Kicks album, 2009’s Hot Chip A Bugged Out Mix, as well as remixes of tracks by the likes of Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse, Kraftwerk, Queens of the Stoneage and Matthew Dear to name but a few.

Danni B – Bio 

As a hobbyist spinning tunes in the bedroom from 2003, she first made the transition from the dance floor to the club decks in 2005 and, after realising that the best way to break into the scene was to host a party, Danni envisioned ‘Tickled Pink’ - conceived from the fact there was space in the scene for a female DJ night - now one of Melbourne’s highly successful event brands.

Danni has been busy ever since, securing gigs at all of Melbourne’s popular events and holding a long standing residency at Melbourne’s techno institution Pretty Simple at Ffour as well as playing regularly at Killing Time, Tramp & Bimbo Deluxe. She is also a regular fixture on the line up for the world renowned, Rainbow Serpent Festival. The last few years have also seen Danni play interstate gigs at Cairns Winter Solstice Festival 2 years running, and 2010 saw her headlining Church Of Techno and Space Ibiza Festival NYD in Sydney plus many more.

2009 saw Danni venture into a new chapter of her career in touring and promoting international acts and running successful parties with Daniel Dreier (Berlin), Christian Burkhardt (GER) and managing

the Australian tour of David Keno (Berlin) in September 2010. Danni also completed working on the debut Melbourne show for Dyed Soundorom (France) in November 2011 under her ‘Tickled Pink Events’ brand.

June 2011 saw Danni return to Melbourne after doing her first international gigs at Golden Gate in Berlin & Yes Club in Prague, where her sets got rave reviews. She has embarked on another European adventure in June 2012, where Danni has relocated to Berlin to expand her career in the music industry.

With influences ranging from the minimal tech sounds of Inxec and Reboot, the deep house grooves of Dyed Soundorom and Maceo Plex, and electronica beats of Nicolas Jaar, she is a very versatile performer. Danni’s sets have two distinctive sounds - She has a deep low-slung club groove, and her chunkier upbeat percussive festival and outdoor party sound.
