The Doof had changed him forever! With a focus on positive and healing vibrations Merkaba combines deep basslines with lush melodies, tribal percussion and a focus on an overall 'organic' sound. Prepare for a vibrational journey that connects the mind, heart, body, and Dancefloor!

Child [LIVE/Tribal Vision Records]

Brought up by a pack of wolves in the Siberian tundra, for the first 12 years of Child's life he could communicate only through a series or grunts and growls. Rescued by Hasidic Jewish explorers who went on to become his adopted parents, Child was introduced to classical folk music quickly learning the glockenspiel and the tambourine.
Through these tools and an old commodore 64 computer he was able to devise a system which enabled him to finally communicate with the outside world and thus the reclusive veil, which was previously his life, was finally lifted. A talented producer of all things techno, Child was brought on to the Melbourne division of Derrick May's Hi Tek Soul from which he was able to firmly establish himself in the Australian techno community.
Child has had the privilege to play at a number of the major festivals locally and internationally sharing the stage with a diverse array of the worlds greatest electronic acts including Carl Cox, Shpongle, Extrawelt/ Midimilliz, Groove Armada, Funk D'void, Luke Vibert, Infected Mushroom, Justin Martin and many others

Xen Ochren (Polyphase Records/live)

Xen Ochren is Evan Morgan, an avid pursuer of life through music, culture, relationships and the search for God "I love so much in progressive music... Its got such potential for depth, for story telling, for hypnotic rhythms and harmonic grooves... I crave the challenge of making electronic music as live as I can .. I admire the beauty of music, and how we can inhale it through our ears and exhale it through dance... and I hope for the moment in progressive sets when you've been grooving on the back of your feet for so long,, just enjoying the beauty wash over you, and the experience progresses to a new foundation... down you fall into a spiral of emotive bliss-sucked forward to the bassbins-sucked forward into the journey of a creative progressive set... in this space I have had my most natural conversations with God.. for me these are the goals, I'll be chasing them forever!
Xen Ochren is currently studying a diploma of music performance and also plays percussion drums and didge. We are excited to have his first releases out soon on Polyphase records!

DJ Chloe (Brazil/DJ set)

Bun-D.M.C (live)
Bun-D.M.C or “Piro” as most people know him, started his journey as a DJ at the age of 15, DJing on community and high school radio stations.. In 2005 Piro decided it was time for a new DJ alias and "Bun-D.M.C" was born. Since then his passion for many various styles of music has lead him to DJ at all manner of events and clubs in a number of scenes. To name just a few of these would be Rave and Goth gigs such as Pharmacy, 3D, Cyberball, Viper room, DV8 and a residency with Dark Events. Of course the favorite styles for Bun-D.M.C to play would have to be PSY, Prog and Acid which has lead him to play at events such as Earthcore, Tribeadellic, Diaspora, Fullmoon Gathering, Toons Alive, Dejavu, Psyanide Sessions and many more. It was at Tribeadellic NYE 08/09 Bun-D.M.C played one of his innovative Live sets to finish off 2008. These Live sets however are not what you may expect, as instead of using a laptop Bun-D.M.C comes to the stage equipped with a microphone and all manner of instruments and musical toys. Recent Live sets have seen Bun-D.M.C use everything from bongos and cow bells through to slide whistles, kazoos and even balloons. Always pushing the boundaries and experimenting with music is second nature for Bun-D.M.C so be sure not to miss his next live performance, as anything is possible!

Morphington (Polyphase Records)

Deutronium

Deutronium (David Norrish - Melbourne, Australia) has been producing psychedelic trance for more than 10 years, and playing producer-only sets since 2003. His sound does not fit neatly into any single sub-genre. Melodic and uplifting merged with driving and psychedelic, it is music designed to satisfy dancers and chin-strokers alike. You can hear some of his tunes at http://www.myspace.com/deutronium As a DJ, David has established a distinct sound that is lush, melodic and uplifting in nature. His DJ sets are all about illustrating the difference that exists between two terms that are often (and unfairly) used interchangeably - ‘melodic’ and ‘cheese’. No cheese here – just contemporary, melodic, goa trance and chunky psy at it’s finest.


RePsycooled (Lucid Realms)

Rainbow Architect ( Lucid Realms)

ampoule


CHILL FLOOR

Baked Spud

The third personality of the Cold Noise project has formed calmly and quietly in the recess' of his own existance. With a little bit of baiting this shy character can be coaxed from hiding behind his full on counterpart. Whilst conversation may lapse a little and eye contact avoided, prepare for the deliverance of a delicate emotionally driven set. In his time hidden in the crevices of a maliced mind, he has searched far and beyond for the tracks which best suit his mood. Prepare to chill, or dance if you feel, to the beautiful music, of BAKED SPUD's choosing.
