Featuring the following Artists/DJs!

Honeysmack



Electronic composer, producer and performer, David Haberfeld, performs under the stage moniker Honeysmack. Although influenced by the 80’s hardcore punk and skate scenes, and later from the harder-edged American hip-hop sounds of the time, it was the acid-house explosion of the late 80’s which had the greatest impact on Honeysmack.
Released a 5-track EP on UK dance label Kickin’ Records, under the name Hysterical Systems, a collaboration with electronic composer Phillip Samartzis.

Started Smelly Records In 1994, releasing the Pura project, a hard-acid outfit called Cynosure (again with Phillip Samartzis), and other tracks as Honeysmack.

Signed to Mushroom in the late 1990s and released the Walk On Acid track which became the most requested track on the national JJJ radio network (in Australia) and reached number two on the Channel V charts. The track was also nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Dance Artist Release.

Gavin Keitel



Amongst the Melbourne electronic dance music community, Gavin Keitel is the quiet achiever to have made the biggest impact.
With 18 years of professional DJing behind him, starting out at age 16 in Darwin, and culminating in his outstanding performances at his residencies at Melbourne's Sunny, 161 and other important underground clubs, Gavin continues to hold some of Melbourne's longest standing and influential residencies. He has kept his eye not on the prize, but on the movement.

Keitel is more interested in blowing someone's mind with an intelligent selection of records rather than trying to be a superstar. As such, he has avoided becoming a product of any big promotion machine and has aligned himself with good music, rather than brands, labels and crews.

Instead of being the pin-up boy, Gavin is the DJ that any crew might call to get the job done right, and to add credibility to the event. Whether it be the local house club, the 8000 person event, or the national tour, he is often entrusted with the most delicate set times for the most important events. Why? Because he is focused on the moment, the movement, and the sound.

"If you've got a cutting edge record that you want to use to take a club to the next level, but you get the timing wrong, you've wasted the moment. My approach to key mixing and knowing my records inside out means that I never miss that opportunity."

The result for Gavin is a style of DJing that is described by his peers as simply brilliant. Perfect, even. But for Gavin, it's not a big deal, it's just how it should be done. He is amongst the hardest working and most respected DJs in the country.
