CentaSpike
A lone ranger based in his home town of Canberra. During the day he’s your average stooge, but during the night, he is a futuristic time traveling ninja assassin, equipped with explosive drum hits and menacing sub sonic death rays used to shatter skulls and liquefy brains. Supplying weapons to such labels as Barcode, Obscene, and Hell’s Basement Recordings, CentaSpike has managed to develop a reputation for producing some of the finest, unsafe, prohibited material known to humankind.
Faux real
From learning how to mix via one dodgy turntable and a discman way back in 2003, FAUX REAL has since become a brazened name across the joint; gracing residencies and spots at such venues as Knightsbridge, Transit, Trinity and Hippo with ever increasing frequency. By frequency, I also refer to the illness he dishes out; from raw Hip Hop through to Dubstep, as well as some proper wonky beats... and still manages to drop Ginuwine's 'Pony' without so much as blinking. Add to this a crossfader repertoire to be reckoned with, and you realize this man's got balance.
Dr Dred
“I started mixing records with my brother dj kaos when I was 14. In the beginning we had 1 turntable and would take turns cutting it up over cassettes and the radio. Kao$ then got a couple of belt drive turntables with rolling pitch control and a fat 6 channel mixers. BLAB, BLAB, etc.” dj dred (myspace)
Djc (jungle commando)
A true legend of the Canberra drum and bass scene. Djc has played along side Dj greats such as Mickey Finn, Aphrodite, Slip Matt, Kenny Ken & Mc Fearless + many more.

Risky
Accidentally stumbling across a drum and bass stage at a festival in 2002, Risky (aka Nerissa Ryan) has been hooked on the sound ever since. It was only a matter of time before she made the transition from punter to DJ. Influenced by a huge spectrum of electronic music, expect dark melodic bass lines and plenty of fresh tunes to keep you glued to the dance floor.

Their sets have always been about having fun, and that philosophy seems to be working.
