here 's the 1st round of announcements..
it's just a taster with the full line up, including some absolute jaw droppers, will be announced next week.


PNAU - Live
Very rarely has any sort of emerging band received the acclaim and privilege awarded to Pnau over the past years.
It’s like they passed straight through the pages of the book on how things were meant to be done, and their ascent
has been astounding. Their long awaited third album ‘PNAU’ is an admission of sorts; Music is bigger than any one person and connected to absolutely everything.
‘PNAU’ is a sagacious offering; the act has mastered the art of reminiscence and innovation, abducting current trends to shear the way forward with this positive and futuristic, hybrid beast of a recording. There’s a clarity and awareness in the sounds and songwriting throughout. It’s bare and celebratory and in the buoyant key of Hell-Yeah – if it had hands it would slap you on the ass.
‘PNAU’ is a timeless and positive album. If ‘Sambanova’ was an ass-grab, and Again was a casual fling, then ‘PNAU’ is a love affair that will endure. This is dance floor Pnau as you’ve ever known them, only better. Much, much, better.



DJ MARKY & STAMINA MC
DJ Marky is considered one of the greatest DJs on the planet, no doubt about it! By the second half of the ´90s Marky already had his own radioshow, he was resident at the legendary TOCO, which used to be crowded every week with more than 5,000 people who came to enjoy the sound of the young master of turntables, who was then just a little more than twenty years old. He was awarded as DJ of the Year in Brazil in 95, 96 and 99.
Marky´s international success is very well documented and has significantly reflected on the Brazilian scene for more than ten years.
His ability and technique have won fans all over the world and today, with his personality and charisma, he manages to attract crowds. With a massive coverage in Brazil, Europe, the United States, Asia, Australia and Czech Republic, Marky became an authority on the floors of every country and city where he passed.
Joining him will again be the Stamina MC; a long time Aussie favourite whose voice is responsible so some drum and bass biggest vocal tunes likes "LK" with DJ Marky & "Barcelona" with Epsilon & Dkay.


BENI (RIOT IN BELGIUM)
A tiger may not be able to change its stripes but it can change its name, and so from the ashes of Riot In Belgium comes one half of that chocolate and beer loving duo, the phoenix from the flames henceforth known as BENI.
As a producer Beni is the tiger, lurking in the shadows and ready to rip your face off, as he has in the past with such dance classics as “The Acid Never Lies” and “La Musique”. As half of Riot In Belgium, Beni found fans in 2 Many DJ’s & Tiga and also cracked the Mixmag Top 100 of 2007.
Riot In Belgium remixed Proxy, Chromeo, Headman, Surkin, Alex Gopher, Yelle and Kim to lathers of acclaim. They were awarded honorary citizenship of Belgium and given a large castle outside of Ghent. This is not even to mention the fact they toured with Soulwax, Daft Punk, Headman, Surkin, Tiga, Felix The Housecat, DJ Craze, Justice, Digitalism, M.I.A., Goose, Sebastian and Kavinsky.


FUNKOARS
With the success of their sophomore album ‘The Greatest Hits’ (2006), Funkoars have built a passionate and dedicated following throughout Australia. Attaining cult-like support with their outrageous lyrics and explosive live shows, they are forever cemented in the upper echelons of Australian Hip-Hop.
Funkoars is founded on the unique essences of Mr. Trials (Producer/MC), Uncle Sesta (Producer/MC), Sketchy Hons (MC) and DJ Relux (Producer/DJ), born in 2000 through Adelaide’s esteemed Certified Wise crew, a name synonymous with some of Australia’s greatest Hip-Hop talent including Hilltop Hoods and DMC Champ Staen-1.
The Oars have positioned themselves at the forefront of this ever-growing movement with their unique and unrelenting style, never compromising music for the trappings of success.
They are filling a void in Australian Hip-Hop by simply being themselves, keeping it stank, surly and most of all slamming. Just like Hip-Hop should be.
