[Sandeman & Vanz]
Ian and Jarrod collectively known as Sandeman & Vanz have only been DJing for a short while, but have come light years in that short time. They started only mixing as a hobby through programs like VDJ and in November of 2010 got the opportunity to enter a DJ Competition. They entered the YOUR SHOT DJ Competition with no prior experience and made it through to the top 72 contestants out of 1500 applicants. There was a lot of competition with many of the other contestants already established DJ's; although they did not win the competition they played one of the last set times to a packed room. The DJ Competition was the gateway to DJing for them, opening many doors. Sandeman & Vanz are now residents at Whaat Club, Kings Cross and have played at many other clubs and venues such as Macquarie University's Conception Day in 2 consecutive years, the ivy as a support act for Dirty South's Coming Home event in 2011, Alberts Tavern in North Sydney on Thursday nights, Strike Chatswood and what was formally known as The Rouge, Kings Cross.
