All About Two Tribes
David Guetta: The multi-talented man of the moment
David Guetta is one multi-faceted Frenchman, with a string of infamous 'Fuck Me I'm Famous' parties to his credit around the globe, 2 brilliant and highly regarded artist albums under his belt, along with his more recent move into hair modelling. [more]
Armin Van Buuren: All Armin, all the time
Few names in the dance music industry are as universally recognised or respected as that of Dutch superstar Armin Van Buuren. In an industry where stars are made and broken in the span of a few weeks, very few stick around long enough to make any sort of lasting impression the way Van Buuren has. [more]
If one were to mount an organised campaign within the dance music community for doing away with genre tags such as trance, progressive or house, Markus Schulz would be its poster boy. [more]
Kick starting his DJ career at the age of 25, some would say that Dean Millson had a late start in the dance music industry. Over the last five years he has certainly made up for lost time with achievements that include playing Melbourne's Two Tribes, Godskitchen and Sunshine People events. [more]
"UNKLE will never go out like that again. It'll either be live or something completely different. I don't know if it was the best thing to have done." It's been precisely two years since James Lavelle visited Australia, and if he had his time again, things might have been a lot different. [more]
Over the years Steve Strangis has cemented himself as one of Melbourne's stand out trance DJs. His hard work and persistence with the sound his loves has seen him booked for every major event in this city, including Godskitchen, Summadayze and Slinky. [more]
When it comes to having an identifiable yet never predictable or generic sound they don't come much better than Dylan Rhymes, known to his mates as Martin Beaver. [more]
Fresh after releasing his highly anticipated artist album 'My World' and the 5th chapter in the Subliminal Sessions compilation series, he's set to return to his humble Aussie audiences for a liberal sprinkling of festival dates. [more]
We all know the tune, however there is far more to Max than a well received and illustrious hit. Max is a musician and the proof is in his universal appeal and savvy in keeping ahead of trends and pre-empting the audience's tastes. [more]
The Warp Brothers hail from Hamburg - Germany, and are DJs Oliver Goedicke & Jürgen Dohr, who met three and a half years ago while Oliver was Producing for his outfit PONS, and looking for new creative input. [more]
A recent visitor to Australian shores, ITM gets the lowdown on what hard dance DJ, producer and label owner extraordinaire Ed Real got up to on his antipodean trek. [more]

Heading to Australian shores very soon is Piet Bervoets, the "DJ guy from Rank 1", as he calls himself. Playing as part of the Two Tribes festival, he'll be performing a DJ set which is sure to incorporate some of the "hands-in-the-air" trance Rank 1 are famous for. [more]
Dance music in Australia has come along way from its humble beginnings in the mid 1980s, today we see it as perhaps one of the most popular music genres around. One man who can be credited with helping to raise dance's profile down under is Mark James of Future Entertainment. [more]
With The Prodigy making their long awaited return to Australia this March to headline Two Tribes and their own string of sideshows, ITM's Raveprincess thought it was high time to tie Keith Flint of the group down for a chat. [more]
"The DJ has two jobs," explains Guy Hatfield, aka DJ Hyper. "Firstly, the DJ must create the soundtrack for the fun of others. The DJ provides entertainment. Secondly, the DJ is supposed to experiment with and present new music to the people." [more]
Exceptional DJ, award winning promoter, media personality, producer, label owner, online music website manager... Can anybody do this much work in the dance music scene and some how fit in time to eat and sleep? Is this guy for Real? [more]
There is a certain remoteness to Richie Hawtin. He is all mythical - reserved and unassuming - and very little is known about him- his music and his achievements yes, but anything else? [more]
In 1985, a young man named Tom Holkenborg worked in a music shop that sold electronic equipment. Leaning against the counter, he became somewhat visionary. Why not find a balance between acoustic music and electronic music he asked? And so, the character of JXL is born. [more]

So overall, a great night of electro for me- more party tunes than serious underground msuic, but the crowd loved it- David Guetta was certainly my highlight - he seemed to enjoy it as much as I did, and it makes such a difference. I'll make the trek again next year! [more]
With crowds gathering early in the day and the sun already high in the sky no one would believe that this was autumn. And no matter how prepared you thought you were for the heat somehow it just wasn't enough. [more]
