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.

Charlie Collins has never shied away from expressing what music excites him. Whilst having opportunities to play at some of the most revered clubs in Melbourne such as, Revolver, Circus and oneisxone to name a few; Charlie has steered his tastes into the deep and emotional side of progressive house. He conjures sets which swiflty move from deep and chugging basslines to big emotional synth driven, percussion heavy tracks which are tailormade to make dancefloors turn their heads and groove.

After running with a few crews and holding residences at some of these aformentioned clubs, Charlie has moved into being one of the spearheads behind Foss which aims to bring back a slower, more emotive and searing style of progressive house to Melbourne.
