Chris Lake
Globally recognised as one of the most talented young producers and DJs to come out of the scene in recent years, Chris Lake has made the DJ elite sit up and take notice.    In 2006 his break out hit “Changes” topped the UK Dance Charts (#1) catapulting his name into the record boxes of DJs across the globe. Pete Tong made the record Essential New Tune and was quick to proclaim Chris as the “best thing to come from Scotland since Mylo.”   

On the remix tip he has touched Stretch and Vern ‘Guttersnipe’ (Monotype), Rene Amesz ‘Fragile’ (LMR), Onionz ‘Burnin’ (CR2) and his incredible rework of Lifelike and Kris Menace ‘Discopolis’ (Defected), In addition to Djing and producing Chris also is owner of Rising Music, his own imprint to release his tunes on. Rising 001 & 002 have already been immense underground hits, with Rising 001 staying in the Top 3 of DJ Downloads chart for a month.

Derek K
Derek K has accomplished an enviable list of career highlights. Pronounced as "one of the best young talents coming up the ranks" by the Grand Daddy of house, Marshall Jefferson, Derek attacks his musical pursuits with boundless amounts of passion and drive.  Dance floors respond accordingly where ever he plays.  Known for blending house and electro, Derek’s sound is big, loud and dynamic. In his own words, “its tough enough for the boys and sexy enough for the girls”. 

Derek quickly stamped his presence within Australia’s big party and fashion scene - with a list of supports to industry giants :  FTV, Pacha, Mischief, Respect Is Burning, L'oreal, Summadayze – he has smashed it out to crowds of over 20,000 strong and was the youngest ever DJ to play on the Gatecrasher and Two Tribes bill.   When Felix da Housecat comes to town, he specifically requests his presence.  Its no wonder that Derek’s own productions are already on Felix’s playlists and has received additional plaudits from DJ luminaries as Jacques Lu Cont, Steve Angello, DJ Gregory, Audio Bullys, Sharam Jey, DJ Falcon, Junior Sanchez, Armand Van Helden and Mousse T.

 His DJ schedule has seen him tour regularly throughou
