This is a party not to be missed; the foundations of villa will never be the same after this night of electric mayhem. BRING THA F'ING NOIZE.


THE SUBSTANCE : Hailing from the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, a city that is fast becoming a mecca for producing an ever increasing number of internationally successful Electronica and Broken Beat music artists, THE SUBSTANCE are a new breed of dance music act with high-octane live shows.

Comprised of brothers Brock and Steele Carter (modules and keyboards) and frontman 2Ray (vocals), their high energy electro-punk show incorporates the brutal sounds of Big Beat, Electronica, DnB, Hard Breaks, Grunge, Rave and Dubstep; all of which is manipulated, mashed and tortured through an extensive stage set up.

KID KENOBI : Yes you read it right; one of Perth's most beloved Sydney-siders is back in town. The undisputed club king and KLUB KID's label boss Kid Kenobi will be in the building for this one night of sweet, sweet mayhem. Countless accolades, awards, records, and firsts have been the hallmark of Kid Kenobi's illustrious 15-year long DJing career. Music trends come and go, clubbers retire, scenes change and awards gather dust but Kid Kenobi, it seems, is here to stay... and we're nothing but happy about that!

BLACK & BLUNT : Drawing from years of DJing, multiple ITM and PDMA awards, numerous individual releases and a deep involvement in the Australian electronic music community, 2010 saw them kick off their studio partnership with a remix for Q45's Yes Yes Records that smashed its way up the Beatport charts. Since then they've released a slew of originals, remixes and bootlegs on such labels as Lot49, Passenger, Klub Kids and Ground Level, thus gaining support from international DJs and the kids of the blogosphere alike.

VLTRN : Get set for some full force, bass heavy action in the form of an hour-of-power from these well known purveyors of the party. In a short space of time VLTRN has already turned the heads of many international artists and labels. Their fast and furious future-thinking DJ sets have firmly established them as one of Australia's most entertaining acts to watch live. VLTRN round out what is a brilliant example of some of Australia's best talent in Bass-forward music.
