    PET DUO

    From the darkest and most intense dance floors of downtown Sao Paulo, Brazil, arose PET Duo, the brazilian DJ couple most known for their mind-bending, forward-thinking and ass-shaking 6 decks techno sets. With a daring and challenging taste they bring together all their musical influences, such as Rock, Hip-Hop, EBM, Classical, breaking barriers and always opening new doors with their “No Conformists” attitude of playing fast and hard Techno. Using 6 CDJs, 2 mixers and effects or performing Live, they’ve developed their own way of playing which they intertwine one another’s music, working as a team to build a characteristic wall of sound. Adding to that their personal attitude as followers of DIY culture, they control all aspects surrounding their music: designing and programming their website, label artwork and producing tracks by themselves, making it all a mirror of their souls. All the while, not forgetting the dance floor where they came from, PET Duo are first clubbers and music lovers, they are profound believers of a bilateral movement that brings DJs and public together into one unforgettable experience: Unity through Music!

    KING CANNIBAL

    King Cannibal (b. Dylan Richards, aka Zilla), is a London, UK breakbeat / breakstep / dancehall / drum and bass / dubstep artist. He signed to Ninja Tune in 2008, following projects on Combat Recordings, Kriss & Rag & Bone Records - which crafted his ferocious take on dancehall & filthy bass-driven beats. HIs songs feel like an invitation to come along and do some damage together, a call to arms in many ways much like protest music. A combination of industrial sonics and dancehall rhythms make his sets exhilarating to experience. Like an attack on the sci-fi present, King Cannibal, hits with an extreme force. Be prepared!

    FRAN HARTNETT

    Fran has been involved in his local music scene pretty much since the dawn of rave, playing at and hosting parties railing against Dublin’s restrictive licensing laws. He decided to get down to business proper and hone his skills through an intensive MA before settling down afterwards to apply them to what is his true musical passion; techno. An all round creative type it’s not been a direct course but it’s the diversity of his influences and pursuits that makes him stand out as an artist. Not afraid to carve out his own beats and have that edge associated with the sound of UK labels Downwards and Counterbalance, you’ll find his sets will switch in texture and in pace from wall of sound techno to naked machine funk.

    EOMAC

    Eomac is one half of Dublin based duo Lakker, but is also a DJ and producer in his own right. His eclectic style is reflected in both his own productions and his DJ sets - expecy anything from UK funky to raging gabba! He has released on a number of labels, most notably his EP One on Hsuan and last year's Clap Your Hands 10" on Maigret Records. This year will see him stray further afield with a forthcoming 12" on Berlin's Killekill label. He had already received a nod of approval from none other than Aphex Twin who was dropping unreleased Eomac tunes in his sets last year, so keep an ear peeled for bigger things in 2012 from this man.
