DISCO VENDETTA feat
INQUISITIVE + WE ARE MUTANTS (KL)
Nothing like an action film or a superhero movie or even really science fiction, Disco vendetta is a brand new night of futuristic revolution. Rebellious and risky, subversive and seductively dangerous, anarchist Inquisitive takes a mystery guest under his wing each instalment, as he embarks upon his strategy of dance floor destruction to liberate all patriarchal-subdued souls confined in bodily state.

TAI (GERMANY)
Boys Noize Recs/Dim Mak
Having worked with acts as diverse as gangster rappers and nu disco bands in Germany, and produced a string of top 10 hits and multi gold status albums, TAI (aka award winning producer Tai Jason) turned his skills to the club sounds of ghetto-electro and storm the dance charts with a string of jaw-droppingly original cuts.
TAI has his heart lay deep inside an MPC drum machine, and spent years collecting his legendary hip-hop beats and programming the effortless grooves. TAI upped the stakes by taking on production for hip-hop artists on heavy-weight labels like Aggro Berlin.
TAI has turned his production expertise to the clubfloor. In 2009, TAI released his first single Lyposuct (Boyz Noize) with his mate D.I.M, which has seriously turned heads all over the globe.
Following that, TAI also released a single on Southern Fried with Tonka “Fit”, “Rocking The Set” on Laidback Luke’s label Mixmash and “Powerchords” on Coco Machete this year. His remixes include Mason’s “Exceeder”, Don Diabolo’s “Who?s your Daddy”, Wiley?s “Electric Boogaloo”, Drop The Lime’s “Sex Sax”, Riton?s “Computer Juice” plus Billy Idol’s world hit “White Wedding”.
TAI has collaborated with Felix da Housecat, Lee Mortimer, Tommie Sunshine, Joachim Gaurrad, SonicC, Steve Aoki, and is currently working with D.I.M. on their EP.
Up to now, TAI’s career as an electronic music producer seems to be the story of an upcoming rising star. Although he may be one of the most unknown faces on the market today, nevertheless he is in extremely high demanded as a remixer with releases on top labels including Boys Noize, Southern Fried, Turbo, DIM MAK, MIXMASH, Greatstuff and others.

CUT KILLER (FRA)
For more than fifteen years, DJ CUT KILLER has been the most emblematic DJ in French hip-hop, both in France and abroad. In the middle of the 90?s, Cut Killer is already a respected and active DJ, and the presence of his name on a sleeve suffice to bring interest.
His dynamic mixes and his flair to find local rappers make his mix-tapes incontrovertible. He produced the “Hip Hop Soul Party” series, composed of double mixed CDs, including exclusive tracks from Fabe, Busta Flex, and many more.
He has also established a label called Double H, launched “Cut Killer Show” and R&B 2000, a collective album that comprises highly respected artists such as Fabe, Doudou Masta or 113. The Double H empire is still developing with a team of street marketing, a clothing line HH Wear, a publishing company, Eastory Editions, followed by another production and publishing label, Eastory Production.
The Hip-Hop Soul Party and Cut Killer Show series corner the top of the charts and the collection of gold and platinum records just grows bigger. Over the years, Cut Killer made or produced about twenty mixed albums which did all meet their public.
After four years on Radio Nova, he joins Skyrock with a weekly show in which he presents on the waves (or on podcast) the nerve of global hip-hop evolution he is still an unmatched smuggler. His fame has long crossed French boundaries when he becomes the first French DJ booked in the USA through two prestigious collectives he joined: Funkmaster Flex’ DJ Big Dawg Pitbulls and 50 Cent’s Shadyville DJ’s.
He is the incontrovertible DJ who has not just performed at parties like the Festival de Cannes and hottest clubs in France and Europe, but also the wedding parties of his friends Tony Parker and Eva Longoria or Luc Besson.

He is back with a vengeance to school the amateurs on the true definition of the word “party”.
The jaded clubber doesn’t stand a chance in this whirlwind, alice-in-wonderland type, trippy, trainspotting enigma. Indulge in a psychedelic dish of electro bass heavy house served with complimentary sides of dubstep, punk, dance, rock and drum n bass.
Radioactively tried & tested (no animals were harmed in this process) by the man himself, ‘MAD THRILLS’ promises the gnarliest mix of genres.

SMIRNOFF BE THERE
pres. MIAMI HORROR (Aus) – DJ Set
Electronic young gun Ben Plant, kick started Miami Horror out of a love of Roland keyboards and French house.
Influenced by dance-pop artists of the 1970s and 1980s such as Prince and ABBA, Plant first made a name for himself using the moniker Miami Horror with a series of remixes that include Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better with You” and Tegan and Sara’s “Walking with a Ghost”, along with contemporary Australian acts such as the Midnight Juggernauts and Grafton Primary.
He has since landed himself on Pitchfork’s hot-list overnight and copping a barrage of high profile from the likes of PNAU, The Presets, Bloc Party, Datarock and The Dirty Secrets. Miami Horror has also collaborated with Melbourne electro-pop group Gameboy/Gamegirl and produced Golden Ghetto Sex EP which featured the single “Sweaty Wet/Dirty Damp”, a oneoff single that became a left-field hit in the music blogosphere in 2007.
As Miami Horror, Plant made his commercial debut in 2008 with a five-track EP, Bravado, on Virgin Records. Miami Horror has since been signed to EMI Music for distribution in Australia and France.
Miami Horror has since launched into dizzying new stratospheres, their well-polished chops as a group making for some unmissable sets at Australia?s biggest festivals, and that?s not to mention some A-list support slot call ups for everyone from Phoenix, Friendly Fires and La Roux to a hand-picked hook up from Lily Allen.

RESET! (Italy)
Cheap Thrills, Cassius Records
Reset! is a collective formed in 2007 in Milan by 5 DJs, producers and promoters, in the game since ten long years. Having established themselves as an A-List act, Reset! regularly pull in more than 2000 clubbers to their own infamous parties in Milan and clocking up the air miles playing some of the biggest parties around the world.
Sharing the stage with the world?s biggest DJs and dance acts such as Justice at Club 75?s closing party at Pacha, Ibiza, Pete Tong and Layo & Bushwacka! at Wonderland, Ibiza or with Digitalism, Rusko and Erol Alkan at the HARD Festival in LA, Reset! have shown they can more than hold their own mixing up everything from electro, bassline, filter house, disco, nu school joints and old school party anthems.
After playing alongside house legends Cassius at one of their own nights, Reset! were invited to rework the French duo’s anthemic “Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes”. The resulting remix, heavily supported by the likes of A-Trak and Crookers, remained on Beatport’s Indie Dance Top 10 for several weeks and featured on both a Mixmag cover CD and Ministry of Sound’s Electro House Sessions 3 compilation.
Following this breakthrough, Reset!?s unmistakable funk yet banging sound has been in constant demand with the boys adding their Italian touch to a string of remixes for the likes of Audio Bullys, Robyn, Fatboy Slim & Herve, The Count & Sinden, Fenech Soler, Goldhawks and once again Cassius, remixing the house classic Cassius 99.
Signing to Cheap Thrills, the leading British house label set up by DJ/producer Hervé, the crew released the My Trunk EP in Summer 2010, which were already favourites with the likes of Justice’s Xavier De Rosnay, Radio 1’s Annie Mac, Alex Metric, Jaymo & Andy George, Foamo, NAPT and thousands of clubbers around the world.

LOOP feat.
LOOPINMOTION+EJ
MISSY+ARTHIC+AV NEESH+JOSH M
LET | THERE | BE | TECHNO
LOOP – A techno affair brought by HOME CLUB and electrocaine, in the hope to bring back the raw power of this pure modernist style of synthesized soul. It is more than just a narrowly defined genre or style. It is a way of thinking. It?s the beauty of repetitive beats and rhythms that oscillates, grows, diminishes, breathes…and goes doop doop doop dooop, like the constant beat of your heart.
Continuing the vision of peace, LOOP is bringing the game to a bigger stage of the Unadulterated Audio-Visual Bliss of Zirca.
