Biography
When you bring together two individuals from two different ends of the universe, the likelihood of something extravagant emerging is high. As fate would have it, Linden of Sydney Australia and Gary of the England’s Essex crossed paths for a reason- to deliver music in and out of the studio to people who want to move. Grasping such an epic array of house music breeds, Social Hooliganz were born breaking the mold on club land’s world of progressive, bass and electro veils.

Think Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Galantis and a hint of that booming Bassjackers virtue. Taking in dance floors with all their glory, the duo has 100% embraced the influences of fellow global pioneers, reinventing and evolving the sound each time the studio doors shut tight. Across labels like Central Station Records, Eclypse and Preston, there isn’t a doubt that the musical outcome is full throttle. The guys’ original ‘Above The Lights’ took out #1 on the ARIA club charts and remaining in the top 10 for over a month, while ‘I Want Your Soul’ held #12 spot with the remix from Ben Morris and Alex Preston debuting on Tiesto’s Club Life. A consistent spot for a solid remix, the Social Hooliganz vibe has been on point with their edit of G-Wizard and Tenzin’s ‘Coming Through’ tainting ARIA’s #3 position, ‘Celebrate’ for DHM & Coops also taking #3 spot and their bootleg of Diplo & Sleepy Tom’s ‘Be Right There’ attracting over 19k plays on Soundcloud in a very shot time.

Electrifying a crowd is where Linden and Gary bring the energy, delivering only the best tunes at the best festivals like Future Music Festival to some of Australia’s hottest spots from Marquee, Ivy and Home Nightclub Sydney, TRAK in Melbourne and EAST Golden Coast. Not shy of a few passport stamps, the shows offshore have clocked up with impressive bill spots at Amnesia Ibiza, PLAY Hong Kong, B.A.S.E Brazil and Mink Singapore. Rubbing shoulders on headline support antics with Diplo, Dirty Sound, Afrojack and The Bloody Beetroots, it is safe to say they know how to annihilate the inaugural set of the night.

The new year sees a plethora of music exploding from the Social Hooliganz studio with anticipated releases on electric collaborations and original projects. A sure fire road ahead with musical personality to match.

Elfenberg, a DJ and producer with over a decade of experience, has become a dynamic and influential figure in the electronic music scene. Hailing from Sweden, Elfenberg, whose real name is Viktor, has captivated audiences worldwide with his versatile and innovative sound.

Elfenberg's musical journey began in the early 2010s when he started DJing at local clubs and underground parties. His passion for music quickly propelled him onto the international stage, where his eclectic sets and unique blend of genres set him apart. Drawing inspiration from Trance, Acid, Disco, and House, Elfenberg has cultivated a distinct style that seamlessly merges these diverse influences, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Hailing from Curitiba, Brazil Thiago Kanan, aka Kanan K7, has spent the last 17 years turning a fascination with underground dance music into a way of life. A sought after DJ and promoter Thiago has traveled the world playing gigs at clubs and festivals in 15 countries. However his passion for beats, kicks and hi-hats began long before he discovered electronic music.

The son of a professional drummer he grew up behind a drum set before picking up an electric guitar at the age of 12. It was these instruments, combined with a natural dislike for authority led him to Punk Rock and he spent years as part of various bands. In 1998 however, all of that changed. While traveling the USA Thiago ended up at an electronic music event by accident and the rest, as they say, is history.

After the festival, before flying home to Brazil, he went into a music store and emerged with an arm full of Electro, Breaks, House and other electronic albums. He then spent the next while, in his own words, “trying to convince my punk rock friends that this was the music of the future”. It’s funny that at the time he had no idea that this music would become his future.

Later that same year he got hold of his first set of turntables and set himself on the path to where he is today. A path that has seen him travel the world, settle in The United Kingdom, Denmark and South Africa and become fluent in three languages including Spanish, Portuguese and English.

He says that the experiences he’s had while on this path translate into the style of music he plays. And the world has noticed. So far he’s had the opportunity to play at high profile venues such as Space Ibiza, Destino, Sysiphos and the Brixton Academy. He’s also opened for some of dance music’s biggest names including Tale Of Us, Guido Shneider and Mark Henning. For him however the most rewarding part of playing his style of music is seeing people in crowd with their eyes closed just listening to the messages it contains. It’s a style that’s impossible to imitate, just like his accent.

NTS is a global radio platform broadcasting music from over 50 cities around the globe, live 24/7.
