Purple Sneakers DJs have, over the past twelve months, rocked out on more blue ribbon festival bills around the country than you can poke one of them neck-hankies at!! (You know, the ones all the scenester kids wear). In the last year Purple Sneakers DJs have closed out Falls Festival, presented stages at The Great Escape and Playground Weekender as well as demolishing their own room at last years Splendour in the Grass!!

This time round, PhDJ and his Purple Sneakers compadres have graduated from the back row onto the main dance stage at Splendour in the Grass as well as the official after-party (the event organisers must have liked what they did last time!). And as further acknowledgement of the rad shit that the Sneakers guys do the organisers of the traditionally breaks and dance oriented festival Parklife have lashed out and booked Purple Sneakers DJs to appear on one of the major stages at this years Sydney Parklife festival.

To add to this Boundary Sounds and Purple Sneakers are proud as punch to announce that they've teamed up with MTV to present the 'Meet or Delete' tour. The tour includes three weeks of shows across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, featuring the cream of Australia's indie acts including Red Riders, Children Collide and Operator Please.

In a week full of announcements Boundary Sounds and Purple Sneakers would also like to welcome aboard three new members to the Purple Sneakers DJs team. Joining PhDJ, Nick Findlay and DJ Fle are a couple of new DJ recruits including 'the princess of avant-garde' Vivienne Kingswood (not pictured) as well as the young prince of versatility himself, Walkie Talkie (also not pictured). The third new addition to the team (in an agents capacity) is Jamal Ziane of Bedlam Group who will be working closely with the crew to bring their indie joy to the rest of the country.
