Anikin, aka Seb Frances, discovered The Force in 2008, when Jedi Master Crisis left his CDJ100S's at his house after a party. He put on the headphones, refused to return Chris's equipment, and the rest is history.

From the start, Anikin has played a wide range of genres, although chose to focus his learning of The Force mainly on electro, dubstep and drum and bass. His powers grew, and he quickly gained a reputation for playing the best heavy, high energy, banging, yet not overly commercial tunes of any style.

Anikin is a truly unique performer who leaves no stone unturned in his quest to be remembered by all who witness him. Dance floors are immediately hooked by a combination of ridiculous on stage antics, seamless genre surfing, inexplicable costumes, ludicrous microphone banter, huge tunes (often with comically explicit lyrics), and finding time among all of the above, to mix them on three or more decks.

Anikin's thorough knowledge of The Force and has so far scored him residencies at Double Drop cafe, Capitol, Double Happy, Concrete Club and Piper Lounge and Bar (Base). He's also had several years of radio experiance, first on 105.7 Pulzar FM, in the form of "ElectroFresh with Adelle & Anikin", and later on "How I Roll, with Anikin". He also regularly appeared on Delicious Music's show on www.glitch.fm. 

Seb loves his job at White Elephant Trust (WE), a youth organisation which specialises in positive development through music. There he teaches young people the skills of DJIng and event management.

Anikin has an impressive resume of support performances, including appearing alongside Vaski, Borgore, Trolley Snatcher, Matrix, Futurebound, Document One, Filth Colins, Hedflux, Mark J, Savage, Sick Cycle, Concord Dawn, Minuit, Greg Churchill and Angela Fisken (aka Aural Trash), Tom COSM, Dirty Needlez, Organikismness, Fil Alexander, Adelle, Crisis, Sebastian Wild, Seth Hamilton, MC Beau, Aragorn, Ben Fulford Talbot, King Al, Hendi, Timmyc, J-Red, TwEQ, Psymon Barnett, Toby Nice and Unfocused.. 

He has played at top shelf events, such as Illuminate Paint Party (Chch 2012), Easter Weekender (CHCH), Karamea Music Festival, Aural Trash's 2010 tour (CHCH), Phat11, Luminate 2011, The Maddhatters Teaparty 2011 (Chch) and can regularly be found at White Elephant, M*A*S*S*I*V*E and Kill! Club events.

CYRIL
Setting a benchmark with his late 2023 hit “Stumblin’ In,” Australian DJ/producer CYRIL has surely come a long, illustrious way. His story is defined by various highs and lows, though always with music as a common thread throughout all his tribulations. Now, having survived the most daring events of his life, CYRIL is more decisive than ever, freshly signed to Spinnin’ Records and eager to excell with a much anticipated string of new releases. He’s still got his best tunes ready to drop; stay tuned for this seasoned aussie to overwhelm the scene. 
Born and raised in the countryside of New South Wales in Australia, young Cyril Riley got hooked on music when only 2-years old, exploring instruments like (bass) guitar, piano and drums. Once a teenager, this love had only increased, causing him to move to the big city, learning the skills of DJ’ing and music production as well as the business side of clubs and festivals.
While pursuing a DJ career in the New South Wales area, though, Cyril hit several setbacks, caused by heartbreak and financial problems. One thing led to another, and soon enough he found himself hooked on a serious substance addiction, crashing his car and losing his home, forcing him to sleep in friends’ houses or in the club where he had his residency.
While going through these traumatic events, Cyril kept making music with just about his only possessions left: a laptop, usb and guitar. Safe to say, music kept him going this period, until he reached the ultimate lowpoint in 2018, when he almost overdosed.
As Cyril says, this moment was ‘the biggest wake up call of my life.’ He made his way back to his home town, managed to clean himself up completely, and after a few months started making music again.
Enter CYRIL, the DJ/producer who’s been making waves until this day. Building a resume since 2021 with several headstrong, inventive electronic tunes, he’s conquered some of his past ordeals with songs like “Lucid Dreams” and “Strong,” culminating in the late 2023 release “Stumblin’ In,” revamping the 1978 pop tune into a sun drenched deep house gem.
It proved a major breakthrough for CYRIL. Kickstarted by a TikTok video that amassed an incredible 3.3 million views, 156k comments and 37.3k saves, things started rolling for CYRIL, culminating in the Bayern Munich football team posting a video featuring the track, while thousands of other people hopped on a jamming trend using the track in their content. 

By now, CYRIL is stronger than ever. Having learned from his experiences, he’s returned to the music scene, living and working in Darwin these days, where he initially had a DJ residency and job as promotions manager at a local club, but has progressed into running another club as venue manager, while doing bookings for another.
In the meantime, he got schooled in music theory at Charles Darwin University, perfected his production skills, moved around to different clubs, and performed some huge shows around the country. 
It’s all come together, he acknowledges, especially with the success of “Stumblin’ In” and the deal he recently signed with Spinnin’ Records. It’s time for the rest of the world to meet CYRIL and the uplifting sounds he’s ready to share. Expect a burst of positive energy and life experience in every tune he drops, coming soon as 2024 unfolds. 
It’s a journey worth joining him on, as this Australian artist is sure to surprise us all with his strong and remarkable return to shape - his story has only just begun.
