Event Details

Yahztel - 

With his infectious tunes and knack for good humour, it's no wonder that 22

year-old Yahtzel - aka Max Armata - has amassed a pseudo-cult online

following as one of the hottest producers in Australia's indie-dance selection.

Yahtzel first rose to prominence with his debut single Girls in 2013. The track

gained major hype within the Australian indie-dance scene - so much that it

was featured in Flume's BBC6 Radio Mix as well as tight upload on Majestic Casual. Proving his success wasn't by chance, Yahtzel's follow-up single High With Me harvested over 13 million plays since

TheSoundYouNeed posted it in 2013 as well as being named as one of

InTheMix's top tracks of the year. This catapulted him on a 26-stop

Australasian tour that included sets at Australian boutique tastemaker

festivals including Listen Out, Falls Festival, Your Paradise (Fiji) as well as

jumping on the international stages of Holy Ship! and national touring

support for ODESZA.

Yahtzel has since received a lot of love on triple j radio, contributing a Mix-
Up Exclusive for Nina Las Vegas as well as a Friday Afternoon Mix for Lewi McKirdy.

 

Amastro - 

The alias of electronic disc jockey and producer Angus Murphy, Amastro has a signature

smooth styling's that his production has been known for. Born in Canberra, Australia, the

22-year-old grew up in a musical family. Self taught with instruments such as the Piano,

Trumpet, Drums & Guitar.

 

Murphy gained influential inspirations from Australia's very best such as Hermitude, Alison

Wonderland and Safia and began producing. With Amastro only being a year old, the artist

has had countless opportunities and increasing success which marks his first dynamic

foray into the Electronic music scene. This fresh face released his first single in May

2015, 'Gods Of This Time Frame Featuring. Christo Alexendar' which reached over 20K

views on Souncloud and #1 on the Triple J Unearthed Charts. His second release 'Running

To You Feat. Ebony' also hit 10K and was released through Stoney Roads Records. He

has had the opportunity to support huge Australian acts such as Paces, LDRU, Sticky

Fingers and FatherDude.
