Pauly Fawcett aka ShiKung has always been married to music. Known as one of Melbourne's hardest working DJs, you can find him playing 5 hour 'journey' sets at various iconic bars around the city. 
A dedicated collector of varied music both new and old, ShiKung primarily spins all genres of bass music. Currently a member of the Uncomfortable Beats Collective, DJ Shikung has supported a huge list of international artists over his 11 year career, and digs through record shops to find gems that will surprise and delight a crowd, whether a banging dance floor set or a laid back Sunday afternoon session. 
Some of the artists he has supported include Lauryn Hill, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Bassnectar, Harmonic 313, Digital Mystikz, Caspa, Distance, Jazzy Jeff + Mad Skillz, Dj Craze, Z-Trip, The Nextmen, DJ Vadim, Mr Scruff, Amp Fiddler, Roy Ayers, Shapeshifter, Elite Force, Meat Katie, Stanton Warriors and LTJ Bukem plus a slew of big Australian acts.
Others may ask him, 'Why music?' but for Shikung, the only answer is "Why silence?"

A13 
The Operatives / Crucial.Social.Sound / Heavy Innit!!

A13 is one of Australia's most exciting DJ/producers. 

With over 10 years of DJ experience under his belt, playing in live groups (The Red-Eyes, Affiks & A13) and smashing festivals and clubs on the regular; A13 has helped introduce Australia to the and future beat, dubstep and bass music sound that have spawned from underground studios all over the globe. 
Acknowledging his affinity almost instantly, he has since started producing his own tracks and holding residency DJ sets at the popular club nights Heavy Innit!!, The Crucial Socials, Espionage as well as playing regularly at other music events in Melbourne and around Australia.
Recently supporting some of his favourite artists and key players such as 
Flying Lotus, Dj Krush, Scuba, Om Unit, DMZ, Youngsta and Toast Mc, The Gas Lamp Killer, Skream & Benga, Pinch, Deadboy, Untold, Reso, Headhunter, Plastician, Joker, Foreign Beggars, The Bug, Harmonic313, Andy C, Dj Markey, Starkey, Truth, Joe Nice, Emalkay, Goth Trad, Dub Syndicate, Mad Professor just to name a few.

Beatski is a legend of Melbourne’s Drum & Bass and Jungle scene, with a legacy spanning 30 years. A true veteran of the underground, his journey began after a life-changing night at the legendary warehouse party Panic at Global Village. From that moment on, crate-digging at Soundboy Records and losing himself in rave culture became a weekly ritual.

Inspired by local pioneers like Atom One, Trooper, and Sidewinder, as well as UK heavyweights such as Kenny Ken and Grooverider, Beatski developed a distinct style rooted in deep selections and immersive, journey-driven sets.

His DJ career kicked off in 1995 at iconic illegal raves like The Dark Half and Eclipse, where he championed the emerging UK Jungle and Drum & Bass movement. Over the years, he's supported a who's who of the scene—Fabio, Matrix, Fierce, Trace, Bad Company, dBridge, Doc Scott, Andy C, Micky Finn, Dom & Roland, Kenny Ken, Randall, and more.

2025 marks 20 years of Beatski’s involvement with community radio station PBS FM. First joining the station on Better By The Pound, he now co-hosts The Blend alongside Bevin Campbell and Emelyne.

In a Beatski set, you can expect anything from deep, soulful rollers to hardcore breakbeat 90s Jungle.

Since 2015, SINE have been establishing themselves across London as a purveyor of quality drum and bass nights, putting on parties at venues such as Fabric, E1, Fire & Lightbox and many more. Teaming up with the likes of Dispatch Recordings, 31 Recordings and ProgRAM, the nights became a go-to for underground drum and bass rinse-outs in the capital, with a close-knit family feel and focus on vibes over everything else.

Over the last year, SINE have been on a journey, expanding the public’s perception of what they can offer to the scene. The beginning of 2020 saw the official launch of SINE Audio, the label arm to the SINE moniker, aiming to transfer the same quality-over-quantity ethos over from their club nights to the label’s output. 

Their sound shifts between the deeper, club-ready end of the spectrum, more experimental efforts, and smooth liquid vibes. SINE have been steadily building their arsenal for when clubs return to the fold, and are ready to fuse their original events expertise with the new label.

=============================================================================


To some he is the champion of the underground. Others see him for the first time and ask the person dancing like crazy next to them, "Where did THIS guy come from?"

Think of Detroit Techno and DJ Bone might not be high on your list of luminaries because he is 100% independent and does things on his terms and on his terms only. He won't tap dance or bend to fit the "popular" dj mold. Those who recognize Bone know him for his uncompromising and innovative ways.

It's no accident that two letters always precede Bone's name whenever he's on the bill. First and foremost, Bone is a DJ---in the truest sense. When he spins, it's as if the turntables and the mixer become a physical extension of his body. He employs every possible technique in the disc jockey arsenal masterfully: blending, scratching, backspinning, no monitors or headphones; unrivaled in his use of the fader switch and he incorporates them all into every set. From his standing room only residency performances to after-hours spots, he rocks every show as if it's his last.

What the general public and far too many DJs don't realize is that Bone spins as much for his own enjoyment as he does for the audience. It's a compulsion that only those who live for what they do possess and those who don't can never understand: Bone lives to spin-it's a necessary part of his existence. His dedication to the art of dance music and DJing is so untainted and intense that the tales of his confrontational encounters with flashy booking agents and "big name" djs are already the stuff of legend. No hype or trends, just a relentless drive and passion to take the party to another level. That's why he's one of the few spin masters other DJs hate to follow.

DJBone is one of Detroit's most coveted underground vinyl technicians. This very talented and highly sought after artist plays events and clubs worldwide, has held a residency at four of Detroit's top clubs and produces music inspired by the city in which he hales from, Detroit. His record label Subject Detroit is futuristic and unearthly while still displaying the true essence of Detroit's Techno Soul.

Bone experienced the emotion, passion and energy of Detroit Techno first hand at the infamous Music Institute. What he witnessed there, along with the eclectic mix of music filling Detroit's airwaves by the legendary Electrifyin' Mojo and The Wizard, would serve to be Bone's main influences.

Bone began his DJ career spinning groundbreaking sets weekly at The Love Club (The Shelter). From there he gained a dedicated following which eventually led to him playing at three different clubs five nights a week, as well as several underground parties in Detroit. An invitation to provide fortnightly, live mixes for the Deep Space Radio show on 107.5 in Detroit was also extended.

After hearing Bone in Detroit (1996 Love Club Anniversary Party), Laurent Garnier booked him to headline at the Rex Club in Paris. Soon after word spread and Bone was invited to play events all over Europe.

A lack of electronic music which fit his style led Bone to produce his own original songs to incorporate into his funky and eclectic sets. He took it a step further and started his label Subject Detroit focusing on true Sonic Soul.

In late 1997, Bone began his residency at the Motor Lounge in Hamtramck (bordering Detroit on all sides) pioneering an underground Detroit Techno night. Within a month, the number of Bone's weekly session attendees topped 1,000 as well as tens of thousands of others tuning in to his live set broadcast on the radio every Friday from midnight until 2 am (87.9 FM). Always looking to expand minds and move bodies, Bone took on the challenge avoided by so many DJs before him familiar with Detroit by name only. For nearly three years, he amazed his crowds, which included out-of-towners from as far as Japan and Australia alongside his Detroit faithful. Unfortunately, due to Motor's attempt to exploit what Bone had founded and loved, he decided to depart from the club and his residency.

Bone's observation of the trend to book producers to spin, as opposed to actual DJs, prompted him to go against the grain and establish himself as a DJ first and foremost. He believes that an individual's talent should speak for itself and not be overshadowed or misconstrued by hype.

DJ Bone describes himself as "an uncompromising, hype hating, 100% independent, real Detroit native come auditory striker and soul controller that cannot be bought".

"If the gig is set-up with the music as the main focus (as it should be), then I have total control over the vibe. That's my duty. I'm not worried about having a Hollywood production going on or special effects with video images, smoke, etc. Just playing the best possible music as well as I can. I feel the need to constantly progress skill-wise and I feel my 3 deck sets are truly unique. Many DJs have 3 decks in front of them but how often do they actually have 3 records playing all at once (with the levels up)?” – DJ BONE
