BIOGRAPHY: Coupling an eclectic taste of music with a distinct love for late nights and grungy clubs, Laces has made a prominent name for himself in the bustling Brisbane scene. Two parts bass, two parts party and a generous dash of old school has made his transition from a slugging, sly bedroom DJ to a master of clubs surprisingly easy. Renowned for his ability to rock house parties like no other in his hometown of Noosa, Jack Cain’s nom de plume has blown the panties off the women and smacked the men into place, all in the most desirable fashion.

Having already supported internationals like Wynter Gordon, Congorock, Kissy Sell Out and Swindle, it’s no surprise Australia’s cream of the crop have already drawn light on Laces stature as one of the true up and comers. Championed as ‘pure dopeness’ by industry legends What So Not, the modest musician has also received love and praise from crew like Spenda C, DJ Butcher, Antiheros and the dance legend himself, Ajax. With all that on his mind, it’s no wonder his weeknights are spent belting out club friendly mashups and working on his original productions, which are sure to see the light of day in 2013.

Having thrown caution to the wind for the duration of his musical career, the future of the Laces moniker is anything but predictable. His ability to span genres and swirl around the musical spectrum means his style is applicable to any and every club night, event or runway. One things for sure though – there’s no stopping this once bearded warrior.

I am Madison Dohnt, age 18. 

My Love and passion for music began from the moment I could walk and talk. At the age of four I was strumming an acoustic guitar and singing lyrics I’d created about my very simple and happy day-to-day life. During my primary school years I first learnt to play the keyboard and soon moved to percussion. I wanted to learn all the elements that gelled together to make music magic.

When I was just 9 I joined the Queensland Pop Choir to further my passion for singing. My journal of original lyrics had now become an everyday accessory, as I valued every opportunity to write lyrics to express my feelings. I really treasure the opportunity to express my feelings through song to impact my audiences in an emotional way. I love to portray a message and tell a story with song.

With my desire to sing and song write and the realization that I would love to record my music and pursue it as a career, I began to learn guitar. I was a student at Wild Hearts for 4 years, and a guitar and vocal teacher at the studio for 3 years. This is a dream come true as not only did I get to pursue my dreams, I also had the opportunity to encourage others to do the same.

I have had a Sunshine Coast busking license for the last 3 years in the hope of further promoting my music. Since moving to Brisbane for university I have dreamed of city busking and I will hopefully obtain my Brisbane busking license after the October auditions. By using my YouTube channel to post my covers and originals I inspire to reach a greater audience.

I hope and look forward to the day that I have the opportunity to share my music with you. Be sure to visit me on YouTube at www.youtube.com/madisonjemamusic

A true force in electronic music, the Kool FM resident has spent over two decades pushing boundaries across genres, and he’s just signed a major 2025 album deal with London Records.

Known for blending House, Techno, and Jungle influences - balancing underground credibility with broad appeal - Shadow Child has left his mark on both club culture and the mainstream. A former BBC Radio 1 and Rinse FM resident, his impact stretches far beyond the DJ booth. He’s played a key role in major hits, including the UK number one KDA’s ‘Rumble’, while also delivering cutting-edge releases on Shall Not Fade, Hot Creations, E-beamz, R&S, and Unknown to the Unknown.

With heavyweight support from Peggy Gou, Bonobo, Gerd Jansen and Carl Cox, 2025 is shaping up to be huge. His Jungle and Breakbeat-Rave inspired album drops late in the year, and we can’t wait for what’s next.
