Fuzion (Kana)

At the age of 15, the art of dj’ing & music manipulation captured the mind & imagination of a young man addicted to music. It was in his early teens that he developed a passion for electronic music, devoting the rest of his life to a singular obsession. In 1997 he applied himself to the art & began forging his technique. 3 Turntables, 2 Cdj’s, 1 Pioneer DJM 800 mixer, 1 loop sampler & 1 bag of top shelf techno. A fusion is when two or more things join, or are combined; & this definition describes DJ Fuzion perfectly. By layering record over record over record & carefully controlling the mixes whilst manipulating his loop sampler, Fuzion is able to create new remixes out of current classics. Handpicked to support legends like Carl Cox, Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin & Adam Beyer, Fuzion = Quality.

Kim De La Haye (Junglettes / Rukus / Shiver Me Bassbins)

New Zealand born & raised Kim de la Haye aka DJ de la Haye, has been one of the most hardworking & energetic members of the Brisbane broken-beat scene, since moving to Australia in 2000. With track selection, mixing & a smile that sets any dancefloor ablaze, de la Haye is a regularly booked DJ, not to mention one of the scene’s leading promoters.
Before discovering jungle in ’96, Kim’s early musical influences ranged from soul, funk, reggae & hiphop to rock, punk & metal. Perhaps in this, we find the blue print for her versatility. Whether its dub or ragga vibes, driving techstep darkness, complex drum choppage, or rolling liquid sounds, de la Haye’s drum’n’bass sets offer something for all tastes.
She has played all around Australia & New Zealand, as well as opening the Feline stage at the 2009 Sun & Bass Festival in Sardinia Italy & the 2010 Paradise in Bali Festival. What cannot be under-stated, is Kim’s massive contribution to promoting in the Brisbane broken- beat community. In 2003 she formed the female DJ crew ‘Junglettes’ , in 2004 began the dub n jungle nights ‘Ragga’d’ & ‘Offshoots of Reggae’, & in 2005 started the hard DnB/Dubstep night ‘Rukus’ alongside SpeakerWrath.
Through both collabs with other local crews & on her own, de la Haye’s events have hosted most of the international DnB acts that have come through Brisbane over the past 6 years. This incredible & often solo effort has been a driving force & integral part in the growth of this scene in Brisbane.

Moista Cloista (SixBux/CrankTheSteza)

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 sledgestep 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 along side Artists and Dj’s such as Datsik, An-ten-Nae, Tipper, iLL Gates, Dov, Propa Tingz, Opiuo, Spoonbill and many more…

Sangers & Ra (Breaks & Enter / Adicts)

Sangers & Ra are the premier breakbeat DJ/production duo out of Brisbane, Australia who officially came together in late 2009. The cornerstone of the recent east coast Breakbeat revival in Australia, the pair are residents of Queensland’s #1 Broken Beat night, Breaks & Enter, and members of the infamous ADICTS promotion team. Since joining forces, the guys have been hard at work producing dancefloor bangers in the studio as well as developing their “Dex n Fx ^2″ DJ setup for the clubs. Sangers & Ra are the first DJ pairing in the scene to formulate a new twist on the “Dex n Fx” performance format with both working simultaneously on the Decks as well as Effects – hence the title “Dex n Fx ^2″ (“Squared”). Widely recognised as major players in the Australian Breakbeat scene, Sangers & Ra, both individually as well as together, continue to feature on lineups at many of the perennial venues and events in Australia including, Parklife, the Good Vibrations Music Festival, the Future Music Festival, Stereosonic Music Festival, BBQ Breaks, Sounds Boutique / Shake n Break, Ocean’s 30 Sunset Festival & many more.

Kosha d

Since moving from Adelaide in 2001, Dylan House, aka Kosha D, has played a substantial role in the perpetuation of Brisbane’s Drum n Bass scene over the last decade. From spearheading Phat alBeats, which held residency at Empire’s Moon Bar for 4 solid years, to flying solo with Junkyard Sessions at Step Inn over the last 2 years, Dylan has stayed true to broken flavoured beats. This motivation is fuelled by his love for the music, the range of influences that Drum n Bass has to offer and a keen desire to share his passion. When djing, Dylan highlights this eclectic nature, as punters are kept guessing with a diverse yet smooth sonic journey through funk, jazz, latino and reggae infused beats, with the stereotypical, harder elements of DnB dropped as aural exclamation marks. Dylan has provided support for the likes of D Bridge, Ed Rush and Optical, Goldie, Calyx, London Electricity and many more, at a range of clubs and events across Australia.

Miike Ruxspiin (Praxis)

A versatile and defined sound: Miike Ruxspiin started out listening to hiphop and electronica in the early 90′s. His love for music took him to the Sydney club scene where he spent every weekend bangin’ out to electro and techhouse beats. This is where it all started!! After watching his mates spinning up the wax at kick-ons, he decided to have a go and from there it was an addiction!! He soon went out and bought his own Technics 3 years ago and hasn’t looked back since. After mixing up the Sydney electro scene with the likes of Matt Freeman (laundry matt) Damian O’leary, TonyWhy, Bazza, The Doctor, Tash Chamberland, Redlock and Brenden Fing, he’s since moved in the direction of MINIMAL / TECHNO / TECHHOUSE
AND DUBSTEP. 2010 was such an eye-opening year, mixing up some of Brisbanes top gigs and also playing MANIFEST2010. Also becoming a DJ for PRAXIS AUSTRALIA late 2010, 2011 can only be better! See With Your Ears

ROLA D
Glitch Hop is being touted as the new global club phenomenon, and once again Rola De is setting the standard. With supports for the some of the worlds biggest names in music like Tipper, Guru, Ramadanman and Yo Majesty Rola De is one of the most sought after glitch hop turntablists in Australia. A pioneer of the new sound in QLD expect nothing more than an impressive performance of amazing skills with the biggest bassline bounce.

Growing up listening to his amazing music and mind-blowing video clips that were well ahead of its time, he had set new limits in entertainment by combining technologies, ground breaking dance routines choreography, addictive beats that moved your body and soul as one.  His attention to quality and extremely high level of entertainment production has set him and his artist onto a next level that won’t be easy to reach by anyone present at this moment. Michael was unique individual and even those that didn’t known him personally could feel that.

I’m sure that he is in a happy place now and I thank him for all the great experiences that he brought for us. GREAT MUSIC LIVES ON! We Love YOU!
