SIMON SLIEKER (Monotremes / Machine)
Simon Slieker’s 17 year pursuit as a dj and audio artist has been one of immersion into the dynamics of the dancefloor. His love of electronic music and dance culture is a lifelong unraveling of a techno ball of string; an examination of the dance journey, that most particular undertaking, evocative of inner worlds and old wisdom accessed by the body in motion. The sense of journey he creates as a dj is indicative of this: insistent and intense yet sensitive to the subtle textures which allow breath. The throughline, a mesmerizing and hypnotic drive. Vinyl, computer, controllers, the accessories of the art. Techno, minimal, progressive, tech house: the pigmentation of the soundscape.
In 2010 he launched his new label MACHINE to focus on the forward sounds of Techno

DEE DEE
If the ultimate aim of a DJ is to draw people to the dance floor and keep them there, then Dee Dee is the ultimate. Dee Dee’s trademark is to work to this end with such an enduring combination of intensity, relentless precision and ascending musicality, that in the final analysis the DJ’s studying him are as breathless as the dancers on the dance floor.
Originally from Perth, with time spent in Sydney and Byron Bay, northern New South Wales, and now residing in Melbourne, Dee Dee bridges the immensity of the country with his touring and in so doing has mesmerised the dance public of Australia with the electrifying skill of his sets. In 1996, while playing in Adelaide, he was approached and convinced to move to Melbourne as head resident DJ for a new club. The deal never came to fruition, but fortunately left the path open to a chance meeting, which led he and fellow player DJ Slack to create Australian party icon Teriyaki Anarki Saki. With 9 years of playing every week at Teriyaki as one of Teriyaki’s resident DJ’s - that’s over 450 parties there alone! - Dee Dee has been able to hone his DJ skills.
Dee Dee’s sets are “dancer-focused” and always initiate fierce action on the dance floor. Underpinning his work is an uncommon sense of musicality. Regardless of what style of music he plays, it never stops being damn funky music. With an innate sense of what works on the dance floor, Dee Dee translates the technical into something palpable, real and aurally satisfying: put simply, Dee Dee has an intuition of pure funk.
