Having cut their teeth at the Courthouse over the last few years – these guys are now ready to spin into the spotlight.

Perplex DJ Demo and Workshop 1pm – 3pm

Over the last 5 years, Australian spinner Perplex has become an artist of world standing. The DJ with “hands of fury and wrists of rubber” (Beat Mag) has taken out the Australian DMC World DJ Championships 3 consecutive years in a row and landed an impressive 7th placing in the prestigious 2008 World finals in London. With an aim to harness turntablism’s complex technicality and make it accessible to the crowds, Perplex is a dynamic and engaging addition to the local and international scenes. Striving to marry battle skills with party rocking beats, his sets are tight and flowing – mixing up funky sonics, with dark atmospheric undercurrents.
