Adaptable to any environment, Tranceducer regularly appears at the finest clubs and festivals and has held his own when supporting many international dance legends. As well as a constant gigging schedule, 2012 sees the conductor enter the studio to craft his own dance floor ammunition. This will see him armed and loaded to execute his primary function: converting musical energies into dance floor focused sets of techno, trance, tech-house and darker progressive house. www.tranceducer.com Paul Abad:  Resident of S.E.QLD, Australia, Paul Abad has been active as a dj, promoter and producer for over 10 years. In that time his sets have explored a wide range of genres and movements in the electronic music spectrum. These days it's the many flavours of techno grooves at the heart of Paul's musical activities - ranging from progressive techno, harder tribal grooves, k-haus, dub-tech, voodoo tech-house and more. Ableton is the format to put it all together - multiple tracks, loops, fx, controllers .. ensuring a multi-layered, seamless and sculptural approach to mixing ... Flow, groove, space and progression are key themes in Paul's sets, but of primary importance is the mix - recombining and layering, and responding to an audience. As a leading exponent of these sounds within Australia, Paul has graced the main stage of most Australian outdoor electronic music festivals - Rainbow Serpent, Cairns Winter Solstice, Splendour in the Grass, Maitreya, Earth Frequency, Exodus, Regrowth, Somatica, Earthcore, Secret Sessions, Quantum Relic etc .. and played to audiences in all corners of the east coast of aus. Over the years Paul has been chosen to support acts such as Future Sound of London/Amorphous Androgynous, Tipper, Chris Liebing, Dj Krush, Monolake, Maetrik, Richard Devine, Adam Beyer, Deadbeat, Audio Injection, Jeremy Caulfield, Mark Henning, Phoenecia, Bernd Friedman, Antix, Perfect Stranger, Tegma, Phoney Orphants, Luna Spice, Bufo, Krumeler, Kazu Kimura, Thomas Brinkman, FreQ, Aes Dana and more. http://open-records.net/music/paul-abad/ http://soundcloud.com/paulabad Scott Walker:  Scott’s mission since first stepping up to the decks nine years ago has always been to deliver quality music to the masses, and his versatility is the most valuable weapon in his arsenal. In the past he pushed his passion for progressive and tribal rhythms, and tech-funk flavoured breaks, and is now focussing his passion for deep house, tech-house, and the more melodic strains of minimal. That's not to say he can't still smash out a peak time set of main room tech though. Scott's ability to blend such diverse elements together ensures that every set is a smooth ride no matter how wide the musical spectrum. Tekka:  When a world of bass, energetic sounds and spiritual rhythms collide, you form the mind-blowing sound of 'Digital Divide'. He's known for innovative sets which incorporate snippets of different genres, looping accapella's and a driving bass that make your senses run wild. These creative sets have helped secure international and interstate gigs, supporting some of the biggest techno and electronic artists including "Monoloc, "Spektre", Kazu Kimura" and "Michael Mayer" just to name a few.
