Graham Cordery (AUS)
Founder of one of Australia’s most respected house nights SHE (Soulful House Experience), record Label owner (SHE Recordings) and mixer of two of the most eclectic house compilations of the last year (Ministry’s Spring 2008 ‘Housexy’ and November 2008’s ‘SHE Summer Essentials’), Cordery's sets always evoke the uplifting origins of dance music - the rhythms of disco, funk and soul.

Lorne Padman (AUS)
As GM of Australia’s #1 dance label VICIOUS RECORDS, it’s fair to say that Lorne Padman smashes out some of the most cutting edge music in Australia. His latest productions feature on the new MINISTRY OF SOUND ANNUAL 2009 and his own mixed cd, “Vicious iCuts 2008” on iTunes NZ. You can expect a hands-up, anthemic set from this crowd blazer.
