Filth & Pleasure - a well known name in the Perth music industry, the duo having carved out a reputation for their high energy sets in both the underground club and bush party scenes. Whether it's groovy Psy Tech, or thumping Techno, you can guarantee that there will be a full dance-floor when the lads are on duty. 

Regularly featuring for the likes of Twisted Jah, Mad Hatterz, Blossom, Wildchild AU and Earthdance, and previously for Wild Camp Out and Fireworld, they have always loved the vibe of the Doof scene since the early days of playing off-grid parties in WA for what has now become Blazing Swan. WA’s Regional Burning Man event is where they host the ever popular God Said (Tech)No arena on the Circus Stage.

In the club scene, they have been on MainStage support with the likes of Erick Morillo, Mark Knight, Sigma, Eats Everything, Eli Brown, Weiss and Mason Maynard, playing for the likes of Electric Gardens, MVMNT and Fine Art, and hold down a residency at Perth’s premier Techno night - Concept.

With previous releases on Digital Diamonds, Friday Records, All Night Long Records, Freakin909 (Disconnected - No 12 Traxsource), Keep On Techno, CD-J Records, Build It Records and Speedsound, the guys have made their mark production wise and you can expect more studio projects and collaborations in the near future. Early forays in to the studio saw some of their productions reach number 1 in both the Beatport and Trackitdown charts.

Paul and Craig started DJ’ing together back in 2001, regular features on the London party circuit, playing at squat raves, outdoor forest parties and eventually in to the more established club scene. Their first ‘promoter booking’ was supporting Fergie – of BCC Radio 1 fame, on a boat cruise to Germany. Thereafter the boys could regularly be found playing at the likes of Brixton Academy, Camden Palace, The Fridge, Shepherds Bush Empire, Turnmills and Ministry of Sound, eventually securing themselves regular gigs in Ibiza over a number of seasons, culminating in a mainroom set at Es Paradis.

Lost in Sound has a rich history steeped in the rave scene! Growing up surrounded by the 90s rave culture and cutting his teeth in warehouse parties, clubs, and festivals he has deep connection to electronic music's origins.

Raised in a family with a multicultural background and diverse musical influences, Sobhan was exposed to different genres from an early age, ranging from Rock and Blues to Reggae, Spanish, French, Indian, classical and Persian music.

His interest in music and especially rhythm led him to play different traditional Persian and western beat instruments such as Daf (Tambourine) and drums. Later, he became particularly interested in electronic music which led him to pursue DJing.

Since migrating to Australia in 2011, Sobhan has been exploring his interest in electronic music and won one of the most prestigious DJ competitions in 2012, Habitat. Since then Sobhan has supported the likes of &ME, Budakid, Matthias Meyer, HNQO, Oxia, Just Her, Way Out West - to name a few. His exposure to both electronic music and traditional Persian music in his home-country and in Australia led him to start his own electronic music production. 

His sounds are influenced by his musical roots and upbringing, embracing the nomadic sounds from around the world and expressing them within a modern context, creating fusions which can transcend time and place. His music is also influenced by some of his favorite producers such as Armen Miran, Hraach, Kora, DJ Sabo, NU, who have a similar approach in embracing raw and primitive global nomadic sounds.

Through his work, he attempts to create musical journeys that connect the listener to sounds that tell a story, stories of our shared human experiences, through chants, songs and sounds that are new and yet familiar. Sounds that trigger raw emotions, of longing and of homecoming, connecting us to the core of being.

Sobhan’s passion for deep, mystical and fusion sounds has recently led him to kickstart a new musical night in Perth, Western Australia under the name ‘Solouk’. Solouk is a Farsi word which translates to ‘The journey of the mystic’. In Solouk, Sobhan and a number of like-minded friends and artists come together to bring an artistic experience delivered through audio/visual medium and introduce a musical journey around the world through their various global sounds. Solouk events have so far attracted much attention and support through the music loving community.
