Although mostly known in the breakbeat scene, Tipper’s output includes a host of other styles. He is also known for his interest in extreme bass frequencies. Tipper co-founded the label Fuel Records at the age of 16, which released output from several other prominent electronic artists. At 18 he signed to Sony subsidiary label Higher Ground for his first full album release. At age 26 he signed to the prestigious L.A. based surround sound label 5.1 Entertainment, who released his first full surround sound DVD "Surrounded". He then set up his own label, Tipper music, which specifically releases his own output. He has released 8 albums to date, as well as a host of other singles and remixes for artists such as Leftfield, Grooverider and Africa Bambaataa, to name a few. Tipper makes music for sound systems, with a diversity that ranges from bass fuelled electro-breaks, to hip-hop, to intricately programmed down tempo, to full orchestral compositions etc - music that demands to be played at high volumes to unleash their lethal potential. With a musical background in classical training, and listing influences from drum & bass, to hip-hop, to electronica, Tipper has created his own brand of devastating dancefloor bombs and after club ear-teasers. He is admired for being "streaks ahead," and his "expertly crafted" productions are dubbed as being "frightening yet refreshing"..."if it doesn't move you, check for a pulse."

Spoonbill is Melbourne based electronic producer and sound artist Jim Moynihan. Spoonbill’s latest call from the wild is both cerebral sonic entertainment and smoothly-beaten groove, coming together as a heavily edited fusion of live recorded instrumentation and fabricated electronica. From antique tones to genre-warping sound art, the spoonytune is a mastery of chaos. Enticing listeners with its smooth, shiny shell of downtempo groove, it breaks open to reveal a thick and fast-flowing yolk of intricate beat chemistry. The Spoonbill project was born from an egg on a mountaintop in 2002. Since then Spoony has played countless live shows across the globe and released 3 full length albums on his own label - Omelette Records.

Scott’s mission since first stepping up to the decks nine years ago has always been to deliver quality music to the masses, and his versatility is the most valuable weapon in his arsenal. In the past he pushed his passion for progressive and tribal rhythms, and tech-funk flavoured breaks, and is now focussing his passion for deep house, tech-house, and the more melodic strains of minimal. That's not to say he can't still smash out a peak time set of main room tech though. Scott's ability to blend such diverse elements together ensures that every set is a smooth ride no matter how wide the musical spectrum.

3 Turntables, 2 CD-J's, 1 Pioneer DJM 800 mixer, 1 loop sampler, 1 bag of top shelf techno.

The Moista Cloista is a psychoacoustic science experiment gone wrong,

brought to life in an underwater lab somewhere in the post apocalyptic swamps of Shanti Town by the hideously deformed and slightly insane Dr. Lawnsnail. After a falling out with Dr. Lawnsnail about the natives involuntary flatulence and nipple retraction caused by prolonged exposure to the Cloista's low end frequency experiments, and deciding Shanti Town was way too shanti, Moista Cloista left home with his box of moist, heinous post-apocalyptic swampstep to cause flatulence, nipple retraction and mayhem elsewhere. Moista Cloista was last seen cranking the steza and experimenting with flatulent basslines and wonky dub inspired beats at one of John West's own private sledge farm and dolphin refineries, somewhere in the Carribean.....
