Duosseudo (pronounced due-oh-sue-doh) are a two-piece electronic outfit who have bravely traversed Melbourne’s gritty, converse-wearing indie-rock scene and maintained their passion for synth-driven electro-pop with a shameless dancefloor sensibility.   A seemingly deadly career move perhaps for both Luc Wiesman and Marc Edwards in a world of ‘me too’ 
musical acts, the duo have proved everyone wrong. 
 
Gotye was so taken with their bootleg remix of Hearts a Mess that he snapped it up for his Mixed Blood compilation. The album went on to win Gotye an ARIA for best male artist in 
2008. Duosseudo’s electric touch and punchy remix work was felt as far as France with Yelle, followed by Los Angeles with indie-Synth-poppers, Bird and the Bee and finally back to 
our Australian shores, remixing the likes of Australian contemporaries, Bertie Blackman, Angus & Julia Stone and Paris Wells, to name a few. 
 
Their 2008 debut, We Are One was released to a hungry crowd of toe-tappers.  Twelve tracks that ranged from 80s inspired electro pop to triple timed tech melodies, the album masterfully blended a juxtaposition of acid house nostalgia with a healthy, forward-thinking dose of relevance, whilst still paying homage to the days you use to get up early on a Saturday morning and watch the Transformers in your PJs. 
 
After a short hiatus perfecting their sound, Duosseudo are back with the single, Turning Up Gold.  Featuring the unique vocals of Adam Ferns from Polygon Palace, the debut single 
from their forthcoming album (due out later in the year), perfectly represents a delicate disco dynamic that is as internationally relevant as it is identifiably Australian. 
 
To celebrate the release, Duosseudo have teamed up with colourful indie electro-popettes, Convaire and versatile virtuosos, Canoe Merchants for remixing duties. 


It's fair to say that If there was an Australian Dance Music hall of fame, Ivan Gough would be in it. Whether you're talking about Dj'ing or producing, Ivan is one of Australia's most accomplished dance music exports. An Australian electronic music pioneer, his rare talent in the studio has conjured a career that many artists only dream of, while his notorious skills in the booth have rocked dancefloors across the globe from Ibiza to New York, Canada to the UK, and everywhere in between. 

Over the years Ivan's records have made it into the playlists of the worlds best DJ's like old school legends Sasha and Paul Oakenfold, and the more recent class of top DJ's like The Swedish House Mafia and Tiesto. Ivan's records have also been getting regular plays on Pete Tong's influential Radio 1 show 'the essential selection' in the UK, with one of his TV Rock remixes (with Grant Smillie) getting the coveted 'essential new tune'. He also has more releases (and remixes) to his name than any other Australian, with dozens of records and cds bearing his name. Over the years Ivan has produced Progressive house, deep house, trance, electro and breaks, making arguably the first nu school breaks record in Australia with Phil K and Andy Page in 1997. He also ran the studio and produced for respected Australian Deep House label Zero Tolerance from 1999-2004. More recently he has turned his hand to writing and producing Big room house. Not only is he renowned for his enthusiasm, flair and technical prowess in the studio, but on the decks his legendary track selection and brand of main room tunes (often his own!) has seen him tour nationally and internationally on a prolific basis. 

As TV Rock with Grant Smillie, Ivan has had 11 No.1 dance tracks on the ARIA club chart, more than anyone else, and in 2006 their smash hit 'Flaunt It' broke all the records. The duo garnished 2 ARIA's for the track, selling more than 175,000 copies and going double platinum, as well as holding the record for the longest running Australian track in the ARIA top 10 ever. Ivan and Grant continued to dominate charts around the country and the world with their singles 'In The Air' and 'Diamonds In The Sky". Both featured Rudy on vocals and both hit #1 on the Australian club chart and were played by all the worlds top DJ's.

2012 and beyond sees Ivan's latest record with Feenixpawl "In My Mind" all set to do serious business internationally. The melodic chords and sublime vocals, combined with a massive drop, have people already saying it will be one of the tracks of 2012. In fact Axwell liked it so much he signed the tune and even did a remix of it!
