So far we have:
Benny Drohan
Benny began DJing in Australia whilst promoting his own night
"Hybrid" in 2001. After securing gigs with most of the underground
clubs, he left for London in Dec 2003 to have a crack at the UK scene,
where he made an immediate impact co promoting "Tronic".
He has gone from strength to strength since then, including bookings
from the likes of "Frantic's Hard House Academy" in his first 8
months and back at HHA again in 2004 alongside bookings from "Wildchild", "Afterlife" "Sunny Side Up/Mind Over Matter" "Dance
Forum" and "Skwoosh" to name but a few.
With a couple of releases on Londons Whiplash label as well as a
remix on James Lawson's and Matt William's Edison Factor label and his tunes been picked up on such compilations as hard dance nation, Frantic residents EP. and used in the opening scene of the melbourne shiffler dvd and as well as on the hard dance awards dvd 2006, it seems there is no stopping him.
Over the past 12 months Benny has spending more and more time in the studio as well as appearing at such clubs and festivals as Hard Kandy and Kryal Castle and of course his own nights BPM and Duel.
Ryza
Since picking up is first hard dance record back in 2000, Ryza has flown the flag high for the hard house/hard trance scene. Though living in Melbourne for the past few years, it was in London that things really started to happen, playing regularly at both Fevah & Farenhite alongside pioneers Phil Reynolds, Steve Blake, Lab 4 & Matt Clarke, which is where his style of uplifting tunes with driving bass lines began.
He has become a regular at Frantic over the last couple of years, and for those of you that haven’t seen him, he will not leave you disappointed.
TA and Interview's own BEN EVANS
Ben Evans's musical journey has been one hell of a ride, leading him onto a path that is only progressing upward to spectacular heights. After discovering a small record shop in Hawthorn, his heart was stolen away by the combination of powerful, melodic beauty and driving bass-lines in trance and since then has dedicated his energy and love to it. From that moment on, his appreciation for dance music has evolved and Ben has developed his own unique djing style which fuses tribal, techy, progressive and melodic sounds driven by rhythmic drums and psychedelic groove.
From modest beginnings, Ben has accelerated ahead of the others and left his musical imprint upon huge mainroom crowds, to intimate underground regulars, playing seamless and exciting sets alongside the likes of Martin Roth, John 00 Fleming, Gareth Emery, Mark Norman, Christopher Lawrence, Sean Tyas, Kyau & Albert, and Andy Moor, just to name a few. Ben's regular residencies in several Melbourne clubs helps feed the fans succulent tastings of Ben's aural delights, playing fresh tunes amongst underrated classics with dynamic flair. His major influences include Sander van Doorn, Paul van Dyk, Infected Mushroom, Nu-NRG, John 00 Flemming and M.I.K.E.
As the founder of the infamous Interview parties, Ben and his strong team of friends have helped rebuild the Melbourne progressive/trance scene and now has a huge committed, passionate following. Interview has grown so much now that the crew have run several breathtaking events loaded with sensory-tickling sound and lightshows at Brown Alley, attracting hundreds and hundreds of people begging for more. Ben and the Interview crew have also collaborated with Gatecrasher at Metro Nightclub, Pharmacy at Metro and Palace Nightclub, PUSH, Element, Ground Zero, Bass Station, as well as a plethora of other successful events in the past. His heart-stopping, mainroom set at Gatecrasher was re-hashed for those who wanted to relive the amazing moment on Syn FM, and Ben also has a fortnightly radio program coming soon on Mixsd FM.
At the tender age of 22, Ben's skills and dedication have taken him a long way in the short space of a few years, and things are getting bigger, better and brighter for the talented young man.
Grab a firm hold of something before hearing Ben play, because his sets will take you and your breath away.
With another 2 to be confirmed. Stay tuned as this is shaping up to be one MASSIVE party
