Rob Threezy

Born in Pilsen, Threezy grew up with house DJs for uncles. “I know all the deep house and disco house that came out of Chicago,” he says. “I did my research on that, so I’m like, ‘OK, I’m gonna see if I can make some jazzy house, but with breaks, and glitch it up a little bit and add a different style to it,’ and they’re gonna be like, ‘Whoa, what is that?’ and I’m like, ‘That’s just the music I make. That’s just me.’”

Continuing to experiment. “The Chase,” his single most popular with DJs, includes the requisite “Think” breaks and a wailing police siren, but it also has a chilly feel that’s more in line with electro and a stabbing staccato synth piano that’s straight out of old-school house. And “Jingle Jams,” from his new digital-only EP, The Change Up (Nightshifters), uses wobbling sub-bass synth and sudden tweaky jumps in volume and density to create a sound that’s less like club music and more like dubstep—a British-born style that belongs to an evolutionary lineage that split from club music’s ancestors in the mid-90s, aeons ago in dance-music years.

Nick D

Be it on the radio on George FM Breakfast, on his Television series

'Making Tracks' or on dancefloors across the globe, Nick D's passion for music runs

far and wide. Nick's been lucky enough to see a bit of the world, and has a vertiable swag-bag of exotic madcap party sounds he's picked up along the way - from the Nordic Space Disco of Lindstrom and Todd Terje, butt-shaking Baile handpicked from the favelas of Brazil, to the new african clubs sounds of Kwaito, Kuduru and Coupe Decale, and of course a healthy dosage of sub-bass and sub-genres from every other other nook & cranny of the globe thrown in for good measure. A Nick D set is like heading out to your local pub for a night out, having a few too many Caipirinhas, waking up on a beach in Antigua next to a 6 foot tall Nigerian man in a pink tutu, and a cute gypsy girl trying to steal your watch. Kinda.

Manaia Toa

Manaia Toa aka Splash started writing tunes in 96 he’s released some of the meanest local jungle/d’n’b. Tunes that have proven tough to match in sonic epicness. His time in London brought forth the War Trouble War ep. Now recently he’s recorded and produced the massive New Cross Soul album, ‘Reality’, a return to the darkness is looming. His dj sets pull out gems from the shinning disco bags of dubstep, Chicago house, acid rave and the rest of all that’s been good over the last 20 years!

Yam Jams

Yam Jams is based around old disco, soul, hip-hop and electro staples. Mixing vintage acidhouse and techno, they showcase emerging genres like B-more breaks, kuduro, and fidget house. Yam Jams is one of the last club dj’s in the country to still play the majority of their tracks on vinyl.

Maya + Vanya

Auckland-based, Croatian born DJ sisters, Maya and Vanya set the dance floor on fire with their taste making selections of all that’s new in the world of electro and dance. When not Djing their promoting the Thursday Tea Party, and making regular guest DJ appearances on George FM.
