Pad-Thai Hi-Fi
Guitars & Lyrics @ DR Lush

In 1996 Mechwarrior started dj'ing and promoting events in the World War II-era bunkers that dot Sydney Harbours shoreline, establishing a name for himself outside of the 'club only' drum & bass scene at the time. Going from strength to strength and becoming a pioneer for warehouse/outdoor Sydney DnB his signature edgy, sci-fi sounds rumbled foundations across the city.
After relocating to Canada, being signed to seminal UK label group Renegade Hardware and securing bookings from Vancouver to New York to London and Outlook Festival in Croatia, Mechwarrior is now back.
Staying true to his sound that is sinister and intense, but with an underlying thread of funk, you are guaranteed to move.

Sempy discovered the sounds of drum n bass at the ripe age of 15. Inspired by the early sounds of Calyx, Rascal & Klone and the Moving Shadow label. By the time he reached the age of 18, he began to seek out Drum N Bass events. It was from that point on he knew what he wanted to do for the rest of his life! Fast forward to 2008 and Sempy played his first set at Beat Mash the 4 x Award winning weekly night, with the Inhibit Crew In which he now holds a residency with, playing at many clubs such as Shape, Bar Open, Villa, Rosemount and the the Legendary Metros City Night club. Earning a reputation for his high energy dancefloor tech/neurostep sets, flawless 3 deck mixing and the ability to put on a show you can garuntee that your dancefloor will be heaving when Sempy is on the decks. In 2010 Sempy embarked on his first international bookings playing at the Paradise In Bali Festival in Indonesia & Phat 11 NYE Festival in New Zealand. He has easily become a favourite amongst punters in which in 2011 he was voted as one of Perths Best Drum & Bass DJ's at the 2011 Perth Dance Music Awards (PDMA'S). He has also graced the decks in support of many international artists such as Andy C, DJ Fresh, Dieselboy, Mampi Swift,Concord Dawn, Break, Audio, Evol intent, Ed Rush & Optical, The Upbeats, Cause 4 Concern, Dirty Phonics,Cyantific, Wilkinson, Delta Heavy, ShockOne, Raiden, Black Sun Empire, Camo & Krooked, Dose, Digital, Calyx & TeeBee, Phace, Loadstar and many others. As of recent he has started a new production duo called VOLTRON (with Conxept) 2012 sees Sempy hitting the studio heavily and continuing to push his efforts in production and branch out into other genre's such as Electro, Breaks & Dub-Step. Watch out as Sempy & VLTRN are about to STRIKE!!!
