DJ Mes (USA)
DJ Mes

Jason Sutton aka DJ Mes has been involved with the house music scene since 1993. While growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, his musical passion was fueled by soul, funk, and disco of the seventies, as well as eighties electro, hip-hop, and jazz. Drawing on the influences of friends Tony (Tango Records) and DJ Dan (Funky Techno Tribe) and Rob Drake (THC), Mes found a way to meld all of his early musical influences into a deep, yet driving and funky sound that allowed him to gain quick recognition in the house music scene. After Djing and overseeing label releases on Daddy Recordings, the next logical step was to produce his own music. It is the passion for creating the music he fell in love with that has allowed him to have multiple releases out on labels such as BlackCherry, AJ, Safe in Sound, DAE, Big Popsicle, MVM, Public Access, Sunny Day, and GoodFamily.

Along with Mes's well known skills as a dj and producer, he also handles the day to day responsibilities for his own record label "Guesthouse Music", one of the top labels in the burgeoning new school of underground, forward-thinking house music movements in the United States. Started by Mes in early 2005, the label already boast releases from The Sound Republic, Special Interest, Pushing Boundaries, John Larner, DJ Homewrecker and AustraliaÕs very own Ricardo Rae and Glen Coates. Whether Mes is producing or DJing it is his never ending energy and drive to put his signature on the dance music community that makes him a talent not to be missed.

Jacob London (USA)
Bob Hansen and Dave Pezzner met in 1992. For years they immersed themselves in refining their sound and performing live PA's under a name that you don't really need, or want, to know about.

Their next releases were well-received and the unique sense of humor and personality that Bob and Dave saturated each of their productions with caught on and led to releases on Free the Funk, Stay True, Doubledown, U-Freqs, and Derrick Carter & Luke Solomon's enormously popular Classic label.

Recently, Jacob London have been neglecting important areas of their personal lives (hygiene not included) with a steady flow of remix offers and international gigging, including Toronto, Japan and the UK.

Lummy
Lummy is limited to tropical forest environments of southern Mexico, Central, and South America. He is predominantly arboreal and mostly herbivorous. His staple food is carbohydrate rich tree sap which he taps by gnawing holes in trunks. His favourite though is biscuits. Generally he is very enterprising when it comes to obtaining food.

Simon Ramsey
After several failed attempts at the World¹s Largest Ball of Twine, at theage of 12, Simon Ramsey had an epiphany. Gathering a crack support team in apoorly air-conditioned Canberra hotel, he attempted the world record for theLongest Time Spent With One Arm Stuck Inside a Pool Table.³It was a galvanizing moment, really,² reflected Simon in a recent interviewfor Smoky Velvet magazine, a periodical for pool enthusiasts. ³The rest ofYear Six were heading into the auditorium next door to watch Star Wars. Irealised this was my time to shine. There would never be another moment likethis.²Despite being mid-game with a fellow student, Simon made his move. Two hoursand ten minutes later, Simon was firmly embedded within the pool table asthe children returned.³I felt a sort of hush come over the other students as they exited the film.I think, mainly because the film was already several years old by the timeof the school excursion, or maybe because Mrs Freeman was wearing one of hershort red leather skirts again, that the sight of me with my arm deep insidethe pool table in the recreational area, or Main Room, as they called it,put them into a sort of spell. It wasn¹t until a squat little chap ­ name ofLumpen, or Bumstead - yelled, ŒIt¹s Rammo! In the main room!¹ that the spellwas broken and everyone burst into applause.³Or laughter,² Simon mused. ³It could have been laughter. I wasconcentrating quite intently, and it was hard to hear properly from mystance on the gym mat underneath the table.²Simon would like to thank members of the Canberra Police Rescue Squad forthe loan of the hatchet.

Danny Bass
After recently discovering records can go over 110 BPM's. Danny has decided to retire from DJ'ing.

He has sold his collection of 78's and has set up his own company called Knickers and Undies Reunited.

Its a company for clubbers who have had 1 night stands with someone they met at Monkey Tennis and are too scared to go and ask for their underwear back.

At K & U Reunited they will promise to get back those treasured garments back for you in less than two working days.

Unfortunately after recovering 1000`s of underpants and knickers, Danny has developed a crazy dose of crabs.They are so bad he has gotta wear a pair of spandex underpants just to stop them spreading, so if you see him running around the dance floor scratching his nut sack like a kid with chicken pox, stop and say hello and don't be scared to shake his hand.

Gary Broadband
They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so he’s got to buy the best,
’cause he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.

And when he does his little rounds,
’round the boutiques of london town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
’cause he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.
