ACT golden boys the Aston Shuffle are still flying high on the back of their #3 spot in the 2009 Sony inthemix50, the highest spot ever for a Canberra act, and are continuing their winning streak with a coveted slot as mixers (alongside Goodwill and John Course, natch) of Ministry’s mammoth The Annual 2010.

With their feather-filled cap practically over flowing with riches, ITM caught up with one half of the Canberra club slayers, Vance Musgrove, to get the skinny on how The Aston Shuffle are handling their leap to dance music stardom, where they’ll be going from here and the surreality of supporting global mega-poppers Black Eyed Peas on their recent tour.
