It's the summer of 2010 and two talented, young DJs are on the highway between Canberra and Melbourne. A tragic lapse in concentration sees them careering through a roadside paddock and rolling into a ditch. Both are pronounced dead upon arrival at the nearest hospital.

Later that year two unknown patients undergo a revolutionary medical procedure under the watchful eyes of federal agents. This is the first attempt at genetic retro-engineering on a human subject, costing the oblivious Australian taxpayer over $8.50 per patient.

Whilst the staff at the laboratory quietly celebrate a job well done, the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd receives a late night phone call. He is made aware of the successful creation of the world's first Super DJs. It is June 20th 2010.

After a day of recovery the two laboratory patients are put though their paces on a range of equipment and software dating from 1987 to 2009. The results are astounding and all looks set for a smooth transition to the underground dance music scene and a successful re-election campaign.

Everything goes horribly wrong when, after hours of hypno-therapy involving dubstep and excessive wobble bass, both patients break free of their confinements. Two orderlies are found gagged and bound to the patients' beds the next morning at 5 a.m. June 23rd.

Prime Minister Rudd is duly notified and calls a meeting with his deputy Julia Gillard. The potential ramifications of this escape becoming news are far too high for the Labour Party to risk. They must find a way to shock the Australian media so as to not be discovered, or risk losing all credibility.

Unaware of the turmoil surrounding their escape, Australia's first Super DJs flee to Melbourne. Their only hope is to sell out as quickly as they can.

They will have to cultivate trendy haircuts, pierce their lips or eyebrows, buy flat-brimmed caps and purchase at least five black t-shirts and three pairs of the same black jeans. Above all they must always claim to be "Underground".

This is their story...


An aspiring junior music producer who makes music for the love of making it. :)

Tucked away in the coastal forests of Vancouver Island Agent Hooper has brining pumping fists along with smiles to dance floors for more than a decade. 
He inherited his first turntable from his grandfather at the age of four, and quickly started loving music of all genres.  In the 90's Agent Hooper was deep into the alternative grunge movement, he relocated to Vancouver at the end of the 90's and found himself frequenting the underground raves of the time. This opened the door to a whole new side of Agent Hooper that was about to be unleashed. It was at this time that Agent Hooper was truly born. He quickly grew a fascination of mirror balls and lighting, and as time went on his needs grew for quality lighting and exceptional sound at every event.  You know if Agent Hooper is part of any event that he is going to contribute a certain level of impressiveness, whether it's his music, lighting or adjustments to the sound system.  Over the years Agent Hooper as moved threw a few different genres of music before settling in to his own style of minimal tech house that he likes to call TechYes.  Agent Hooper has found his way to the Comox Valley and has been a part for the Mushroom Manor collective for the past ten years. During this time in the Valley he has been a big part of the coastal underground scene, Having played the past few Diversity festivals and countless other smaller festivals and club events, Agent Hooper has become a staple of this tight knit coastal community.  His biggest desire when Agent Hooper is at an event is that everyone is moving with a big smiles on their faces.
