I had the pleasure of mixing the promo CD for the upcoming ROCK LIKE THIS 5WW with Miles Dyson. This guys tracks are amazing – every one of them – and to make a whole hour and a half mix of such epic tracks and anthems was a load of fun… and I snuck in a few Arnie samples for good measure!

You can grab a copy with industry tickets for a sneaky $20 by emailing – info@rocklikethis.com.au – or if you’re one of these new internet savvy kids you can just gab the download at your pleasure.

Lass Bass Party @ Mercat Cross

As some of you may or may not know the top half of the venue is closing down due to residents sound complaints (the basement however will continue to run). The idea of this party is to get every one together for one last drunken bash!

For us at Rock Like This this is a sad one, as we’ve had many a good night at the mercat, and the people behind the the scenes at the mercat are great guys and a pleasure to work with. I have no doubt at all this one will be completely rammed as a lot of people share our feelings. So get down early, and do not miss it. This will be one MASSIF send off.

All door profits + a percentage of the bar will be donated to Beyond Blue (a charity that helps people with depression and anxiety).

Entry will be $5 b4 midnight and $10 after

Top room is run by BBA playing drum n bass, autonomic etc
Atrium will feature Rock Like This, Subbass, Juicy Loops, The Operatives, Too Much! and Heavy Innit playing wonky hiphop, breaks, dubstep etc
Basement will feature Too Much! Heavy Innit and other dubstep, house and bashment djs.

Absolute SUPERSTAR lineup of Melbourne’s best quality electronic music DJs and producers.

Check Rock Like This boys playing upstairs in the lounge

STANTON WARRIORS:

One way or another you’ve probably already come into contact with the Stanton Warriors. For some time it’s most likely it was underfoot as the market leader in drain covers. In recent years though, it’s more likely to be from one of the most popular and distinctive dance DJ, production and remix outfits about, Mark Yardley & Dominic B – the Stanton Warriors.

True pioneers of a sound that broke all the rules, Stanton Warriors took breaks and twisted it beyond all recognition, dropping speaker shattering bass lines and massive beats…all to devastating effect. Producing and remixing the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Fat Boy Slim, Basement Jaxx and Missy Eliott, plus releasing classic albums such as the Stanton Sessions and FabricLive 30, it’s easy to see why they are regarded as the number 1 heavyweights of breaks.

SKOOL OF THOUGHT

Living between the UK and Australia, Skool Of Thought is the owner and label manager behind the award winning Against The Grain & SuperCharged Music record labels – home to the likes of the Freestylers, Krafty Kuts, Splitloop, Ed Solo and of course Skool Of Thought. He is the guy responsible for the enormous Groove Armada ‘Superstylin’ and Freestylers v Pendulum ‘Painkiller’ breaks remixes. He has appeared on the front cover of 3D magazine in Australia, described by IDJ magazine as ‘an underrated genius’ and recognized by DJ magazine as helping form the ‘nu skool breaks’ scene. He has produced countless breakbeat monsters over the years including Heavyweight Breaks Volumes 1 & 3, Breakspoll 3, numerous 12″ singles and is currently celebrating the success of his debut artist album with Ed Solo entitled ‘Random Acts Of Kindness’. To top it all off he has just launched a third label called ‘Cool & Deadly’ with Tayo. Phew! Time to take a lesson from Skool…

ADSORB [Against The Grain, UK]

ADSORB (Adam Dowding) is a DJ/Producer from the UK and is the resident DJ for Supercharged with Krafty Kuts, Skool Of Thought & Sneaky.

His music style is a blend of Breakbeat and Electro House, he has played at numerous clubs/festivals Worldwide including: Matter & Fabric (UK) Retro (Lisbon) Club Culture (Bangkok) Glastonbury (Radio 1 opening party) Royfest (Phuket).

This year started off with Adsorb being nominated for ‘Best Breakthrough DJ’ at Breakspoll 2009, he opened up the main room at Matter for the launch of Krafty Kuts’s ‘Evening with Krafty Kuts’ playing alongside Format, Cash Money and Pendulum. He was featured in the August edition of DJ magazine as one of the hottest DJ’s to look out for that month and he played at Annie Nightingale’s Radio 1 opening party at Glastonbury Festival, smashed a peak time slot at the Glade festival in the Nuskool Breaks tent and finished the summer festival circuit off at Royfest in Phuket in Thailand where he headlined the sat night on a beach performing to 20’000 people.

His gigs are going from strength to strength, he has several new remixes and original tunes in the pipe-line, big plans for the future and is now getting recognised as one of the UK’s hottest new DJ’s/artists to be watching out for this year.

LEE COOMBS

Bending boundaries and ignoring the status quo – where would the Breakbeat scene be today without Lee Coombs. For over a decade this British producer has been at the forefront of it all; releasing groundbreaking mix CDs, remixing the world’s most acclaimed artists and knocking out dancefloor destroying productions that are considered classics years after their release.

A seasoned veteran, Coombs first hit the DJ slopes in 1989, bathing himself in the acid house scene at parties around London and Cambridge. Crucial in shaping his all-encompassing approach to DJing and production, this boundary-less approach would become Coombs’ trademark, mixing up breaks, house, electro, techno and acid with dexterous assurance.

In 1998 Coombs made his first massive strike on the breaks scene as the prized recruit of then ‘up and coming’ label Finger Lickin’, with the man’s acclaimed album of 2001 ‘Future Sound of Retro’ signalling his arrival on the world stage. Such was the impressive nature of Coombs’ debut that respected industry figurehead Pete Tong noted him as the ‘man to watch’. An ‘Essential New Tune’ accolade soon followed courtesy of Tong, with Coombs’ re-rub of Quivver’s ‘One Last Time’ making dance fans weak at the knees the world over.

Such was the demand for Coombs, that luminary Paul Oakenfold was soon knocking at his door, resulting in the critically acclaimed Perfecto Breaks album of 2002. After landing the job of remixing Oakenfold’s ‘Time of your Life’ and then further re-rubs for world class acts such as Moby, New Order, Lamb and Planet Funk, Coombs’ status as one of the industry’s most in-demand artists quickly developed. Even the BBC was under the Coombs spell with them flying him over to Prague in the summer of 2003 to record the theme music for the television program ‘Born to Win’ with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

Ever the musical innovator, Lee Coombs’ 2004 album release ‘Breakfast of Champions’ signalled a significant evolution in his sound. Collaborating with some of the most respected artists in his field – from Dylan Rhymes to Christian J, Andy Gardner (Plump DJs) and Jem Panufnik (Soul of Man), the album charted the ambitious new territory of Tech Funk, injecting the Breaks sound with butt-shaking elements of House, Electro and Techno. It was a style Coombs would make his own, alongside fellow innovators Meat Katie, Elite Force and Dylan Rhymes. Featured on the acclaimed album was the cracking single ‘Shiver’ (feat. Katherine Ellis) which was snapped up by classic house imprint Azuli and became one of the biggest vocal house anthems of 2005, whilst the ‘Alright All-Night/Dubhead’ and ‘Obsessional Rhythm’ singles went straight to no.1 in the DJ Mag Beats & Breaks Chart.

Departing Finger Lickin’ for new pastures in 2005, Coombs’ focus shifted to releasing music through his own Thrust Recordings imprint as well as Adrift and Meat Katie’s Lot49 (then Whole9Yards). It was at this time that he started his Thrust club nights in San Francisco, with the quarterly events becoming one of the hottest tickets on the West Coast.

Change has further characterised Coombs in recent times. Not only has the recently married Brit relocated to the USA to settle with his new wife, but he also formally joined the Lot49 team and is set to mix the label’s latest compilation due out in February 2008.

If that’s not enough, a groundbreaking new artist album is also on the way. While still dancefloor focused, Coombs views this as his most ambitious project yet with a range of tempo from 100 – 128 bpm and collaborations with the likes of Longrange (Phil Hartnoll from Orbital’s new band), Meat Katie, Seasunz, Katherine Ellis and many others.

When he is not in the producers chair, Coombs regularly tours all corners of the globe and is a bona-fide fans favourite throughout Europe, the USA, Australia, Asia and of course the UK. His popularity has also ensured his repeat appearance at infamous festival ‘The Burning Man’ in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada.

In an industry that’s so often governed by trends and fads, Coombs’ unwavering ability to simultaneously destroy dancefloors and push musical boundaries almost 20 years since he first touched a pair of turntables is a remarkable achievement in itself. With plans to further spread his production wings to writing music for film and TV, as well as producing bands, there’s little doubt that his impressive sonic skills will be rocking ears for many years to come.

MYAGI

Canada’s Myagi has had a huge few years – over the course of his career he has been one of the more well noted globetrotters of the house / breakbeat scene, but the last while has been….well…..crazy!

2008 and 2009 have seen Myagi launch Pop And Lock – a personal label for original material and select output from friends and co-conspirators that have seen support from the likes of Pete Tong, The Japanese Popstars, Utah Saints, The Scumfrog, The Crystal Method, Meat Katie, and the list goes on…..

In the same timeframe, Myagi remixed Orbital, The Crystal Method, The Dub Pistols, and did his second remix for Thievery Corporation’s ESL Records. His original material has hit number one on sales charts for Beatport and various other retailers, and his mashups and mix sets have pleased thousands of internet music freaks the world over.

His debut album “3 Years Of Sunrise,” released in 2008 was dubbed “an uplifting electronic masterpiece” by DJ Mag, earning a 4.5/5, and has been compared to the classic works of acts like Leftfield, BT, or even the Chemical Brothers. (AWESOME Album)

His yearly tours of Australia, China, Canada, the US, the EU and various other countries have allowed Myagi to drop his unique blend of hard edged funk, electro, breaks, house (everything but the kitchen sink really) on what can only now be referred very expectant crowds. A firm favorite in many of the worlds top party cities, the Myagi sound has been a fixture of the international club scene for 5 years or so, and has garnered a huge following, especially amongst the fans of the “classic” era of dance music – a key part of the crowd especially considering the degree to which Myagi releases are used as key set highlights by the biggest names in the history of the genre.
