3RD WORLD SPECTATOR is:
Peter Crafford (Vocals, Guitar, Piano)
Justin Versfeld (Guitar)
Louis Kuhn (Bass)
André Wentzel (Drums)
Elan Schnider (Synths, Keys)

With their infectious blend of soaring, operatic vocals, haunting melodies, huge guitars 
and rolling drums, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has treaded lasting tracks in the South 
African music scene. With the release of their debut album ‘The Theory of Everything’ in 
late 2011 - to critical acclaim from music critics and fans alike - the band eradicated all 
doubt as to their position as one of the top acts South Africa has to offer. Their first single 
‘Ambulance’ exploded onto radio and digital charts around the country whilst cracking the 
National Top 40. The video for “Ambulance’ also reached number 2 on the MK Top 10 
Music Video Chart, placing the band firmly at the forefront of the local rock scene.

Well known for their meteoric rise to first place during the Virgin Mobile Road to V 
competition late 2008, 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR have been making headlines ever since. 

Not content to be just another local act, their performances transcend the ordinary. Part 
theatre and part rock star-chic, their live music is fraught with energy that consumes the 
senses and elevates the soul. Sharing the stage with the likes of international bands such 
as Maroon5, OneRepublic and Hard-Fi confirmed their status as a highly engaging stage 
act.

The band completed work on their debut full length album entitled 'The Theory of 
Everything' in 2011 with the recording sessions taking place at Sunset Recording Studios 
with award winning producer and engineer Jürgen von Wechmar (Springbok Nude Girls, 
Foto Na Dans, Jax Panik, Karen Zoid) at the helm of the production. The album is 
mastered by John Davis (U2, Florence + The Machine, The Prodigy, Snow Patrol) at 
Metropolis Studios in London. 

In June 2011 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR signed a record deal with Universal Music and the 
album was released at the start of November 2011 to critical acclaim. 3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has featured in every major publication, been named one of 
‘The Top 10 Acts To See' by Tonight, signed major endorsement deals with PF Flyers 
International and Jay Jays South Africa. 

Since the release of The Theory of Everything, 
3RD WORLD SPECTATOR has elicited extensive coverage in the press and media, has 
done countless radio interviews, performed live on national TV shows such as SABC 2’s 
Hectic Nine 9, MK’s Studio 1, ETV’s Frenzy and has toured South Africa extensively. The 
follow up singles 'Sparks' and 'The Hiroshima Lovers' also achieved great success on 
national radio stations. 

At the end of 2012 the band were chosen as one of six South African artists to participate 
in the Sanlam Sing 'It 2013 Lyric Competition and won this prestigious contest. 

Subsequently they have released their latest single 'Once More, With Feeling' to national 
radio with the accompanying music video enjoying high rotation on MTV. 

3RD WORLD SPECTATOR are exclusively sponsored by clothing brand Markham. 
They will be releasing their sophomore album 'Days Of Silver' in 2014.

Dr Packer is an alias of West Australian Drum & Bass DJ/Producer 'Greg Packer' set up for Remixes & Edits of mainly retro music such as 70's , 80's , 90's Soul , Disco , Funk , Hip Hop & Reggae , Greg although known more for 'Liquid Drum & Bass' regularly plays sets of 'Old School Funk , Disco , Hip Hop Etc' purchasing his first record in 1982 at the age of 10 'Grandmaster Flash - The Message' 

Moving on to the 90's shortly after emigrating to 'Perth Western Australia' greg purchased his first pair of decks in 1989 making this year his 28th year behind the decks , in 1991 he won the WA DMC's and defended the title in 1992 but by this time greg preferred Club Dj-ing and longer sets rather than a 5 minute scratch battle routine... 

Greg then moved onto 'Jungle & Drum & Bass' music in the early 90s and often regarded as a pioneer of that sound in Australia winning many awards and went semi global touring (UK , Europe , Asia , New Zealand & Australia) 

In 1998 Greg took up production and set up his own studio running his own label 'Interphase Music' He produced over 100 tracks & remixes under the name 'Greg Packer' and was signed to many other labels in the UK & USA including LTJ Bukem's  'Good Looking Records'

By 2013 greg began mixing entire sets from CD therefore searching for music online , he started picking up re-edits and he loved the way the original songs were beefed up and sounded fat on a club system but the original vibe was still there , these edits were quantised perfectly meaning you were able to beat mix them flawlessly unlike playing the original vinyl... 

In August 2013 Greg Produced his first two edits under the name 'Dr Packer'  which has caught the attention of labels such as 'Defected / Glitterbox , Z Records , Disco Dat , Hot Digits , Masterworks Music & Midnight Riot' resulting in a number one chart position for every EP release so far on the 'Juno Download sales chart' 

2015 saw 'Dr Packer' take the number one spot on the 'Traxsource Best Nu-Disco Producer' and number 5 for 2016 , he has had the opportunity to officially remix music by artists such as 'Bootsy Collins' and 'Robert Owens' and attack the back catalogs of Simon Dunmore's Defetced label and Joey Negro's 'Z Recordings' 

2016 saw Dr Packer break out globally behind the decks in places such as 'London , Ibiza , Croatia , Scotland ,  Denmark , Germany , Singapore , Bali , Abu Dhabi & all over Australia' playing alongside some heavyweights such as 'Dimitri From Paris , Joey Negro , John Morales , Greg Wilson , LNTG ,  Basement Jaxx , Crazy P , Sonny Fodera ,  Jazzi B (Soul II Soul) Faze Action'
