Posting this for a few friends of mine. Should be a great day (it was last year!) and it will also be the 'officially unofficial' afterparty for Private Function's 4th Birthday and Annual Xmas Extravaganza on Christmas Night (details will be posted very shortly!)

From the Darkbeat Crew.......



As it is the season to be jolly – we have decided to give something back to the people who have helped us have such a wonderful year.

Parkbeat – Darkbeat’s annual FREE party in the park is back on December 26 [Boxing Day] from 10 am – 10 pm!

Located at Ceres Park, Brunswick – we hope you can all make it down for a day/night of quality entertainment.

TOTALLY FREE – BYO ALL THE ALCOHOL YOU CAN HANDLE!!

Bamboo
When it comes to quality tech-house that is Australian owned – Nick Dem Q and Hess have produced some of the best and most internationally recognised music to come from our own backyard in recent times. Extremely popular in Asia – their Bamboo productions have been hammered by the worlds best.

Hess has been busy managing the label, as well as nightclub endeavours in Shanghai – whilst Nick has been busy managing his fruitful clothing label of late – the boys are back in Australia for a special once off performance in Melbourne!

Do not miss this special opportunity to see the boys live in action!

Ozzie LA
In our opinion, Ozzie LA has been the most consistent DJ in 2005. Quality EVERY time, and a leader of the deep hypnotic groove – the man is a total M.C and we are not talking about a Master Of Ceremonies . Enough said.

Red Bee [LIVE]
Bzz Bzz Bzz. 3 Red Bee is Sara Brooke, Andi Red and Myke Ireland; one of the hottest upcoming live acts in Australia. 3 Red Bee fuses a combination of electronic beats and breaks, with silky live vocals, effects, lost sounds, funky grooves and a dance floor mind set. Covers, edits, crazy samples, cheeky bootlegs, and originals, their sound is one that people into the genre will love and one that will introduce people who aren't into a whole new style.

Jono Fernandez [LIVE]
Jono Fernandez has achieved more as a producer and DJ in the last few years than many do in an entire career. At 15 Jono discovered club life and dance music in Canberra and he soon began Djing. Not long after supported by his classical training in piano, violin, flute and guitar he launched his successful career writing and producing electronic dance music. With his music earning him global accolades from peers and enthusiasts alike, Jono has since released tracks that are played and charted worldwide and have found their way into the record bags of the world’s best DJ’s.

Dan Mangan
Dan Mangan is quickly becoming one of the leading players to come out of the enormous Melbourne talent pool. He has produced an array of benchmark records in 2005 such as Little Snitch, and his collaborative remix of Panopticon – Revealing The Door along with Sean Quinn – which generated some very well deserved worldwide acclaim. Mangan also co-hosts Space Between The Beats with Quinn, which is currently the most popular show on the station. 2005 has seen Dan distance himself from the breakbeat sound, instead choosing a new hybrid combination of anarchy….Look out.


Dean Millson
Since launching Private Function in 2001, Dean has been a regular addition to most of the progressive and breaks around Melbourne. As PF has grown into Melbourne’s foremost progressive shindig, Dean has built a reputation as a most versatile DJ in support of some of the worlds finest such as Chris Fortier, Anthony Pappa, Steve Porter, Matthew Dekay & Habersham. He’s currently in the process of applying for German citizenship.

Keltec
With a career in the entertainment industry spanning more than 12 years, Keltec is no stranger to the evolution of Dance Music Culture in Australia. With his rising success as a formidible breaks advocate, Keltec has extended his wings to provide an array of genres' combined into a set that is becoming increasingly difficult to describe. With a regular segment on Kiss FM's 'Space between the beats', a number of recent releases, a venture into the business marketing of Dance Music and increasing his profile interstate, th4e name Keltec, seems to be splattered all over the country right now. And, with bookings for South America and next years Miami Winter Music Conference almost confirmed, the international stage is set to see what this Australian Dance Heavyweight has to offer.

DJ Promo
DJ Promo (UK), renowned in Australia for bringing house music devotees to their knees in worship with his The Drum Is God! parties, is playing one of his last sets before his attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest DJ set in history - a skull-splitting 100 hours - in Melbourne's Federation Square next February.
