Hard Kandy vs 3D Friday 26th February CBD Nightclub MARK EG (BLACKOUT AUDIO) (UK) With a deep musical history that spans back to the Chicago house and Detroit techno sound of the early 80's, Mark has become widely acclaimed for his intense stage presence, as well as his outrageous antics behind the decks. His ability to cross over into different music movements is simply unrivalled. Mark’s most notable achievements have included his massive popularity in the Serbian/Bosnian and Croatian techno scene; the near sonic domination of the Canadian rave scene; his infiltration of the hard dance scene; his almost cult-like status within the UK hardstyle and hard trance movements; and of course who could forget his place in the UK hardcore scene where Mark has been a well respected part of the furniture for the last fifteen years! He is consistently voted 'UK's Best Hard Dance DJ' and for his downright lunacy he even received a ‘Party Animal’ award at London’s Hard Dance Awards.. We’ve tripled our insurance & re-enforced the foundations ‘cos Mark EG is set to tear 3D apart!! www.blackoutaudio.co.uk JON THE BAPTIST & CHUCK-E (INTOLERANCE RECORDINGS) (UK) Jon the Baptist & DJ Chuck-E have taken the Hard Trance scene by storm in recent days, now a full time DJ and production / remix duo, the European Hard Trance scene has its life force here! In the wake of the scenes biggest producers taking on new aspects & journeys in their careers, the boys have stepped up to the plate & cemented themselves firmly at the top of the Hard Trance ladder. With energetic crowd pleasing show man ship, fast flowing original set’s & their awesome hard and uplifting productions being dropped by the who’s who in UK Hard Dance and European hard Trance (Including, Scot Project, Alex Kidd, Dave Joy, Mark EG, Cally & Juice, Phil York, Technikal, Vandall, Archie & Uberdruck) they have reset the scene on fire and are vastly gaining respect from there UK hard trance counterparts, as well as gaining world wide recognition. www.jtbanddjchuck-e.co.uk DJ ANNELI (PHANTASM RECORDS) (SWEDEN) Dj Anneli plays psychedelic trance/full-on, but believes that there is good music in every genre, you just have to search to find it. This open-minded thinking is one of her strengths as a DJ. She believes that the main part of a DJ's job is to communicate with the crowd and ask them what they want to hear, WITHOUT saying a single word! Her ability to read the crowd & deliver time after time, is the reason why the world is falling in love with DJ Anneli. She has played more than 500 gigs around the world with some of the greatest artists and DJ's in the trance scene at festivals like the Fullmoon Festival in Germany, Burningman in the USA, with 45 000 people in the Nevada desert, Universo Paralello in Brazil, plus our own, Tribeadellic & Rainbow Serpent Festivals. www.djanneli.com LEVEL 1 – HARD KANDY vs 3D MARK EG (UK) JTB & CHUCK-E (UK) SCOTT ALERT VS ST.LUKE DR.WILLIS VS M-EXPERIENCE NFX (LIVE) BEN JACKSON VS GAZMATRON X-STATIK VS CALVINATOR LEVEL 2 – PIROTECHNICS presents INPSYT DJ ANNELI (SWEDEN) BUN-D.M.C BLITZCRAIG E.M.F HEAVYWAIT N.C JFX VS KIERAN PLUS DÉCOR BY ALICE DEE LEVEL 3 - HARDSTYLE ROOM HELLRAISER WR3CKLESS EUST4CE BOXHEAD SHANE LYNCH Early Birds Tickets: Online only $20+bf (limited to 50) www.shop.hardkandy.com General Tickets: $30+bf www.shop.hardkandy.com Hard Kandy & 3D promoters Inacoma Clothing - Ringwood 9879 4944 Ministry of Style - Fitzroy 9419 4952 More Information: www.hardkandy.com www.facebook.com/hardkandy www.myspace.com/hardkandyaustralia www.myspace.com/3dnightclubmelbourne www.3dnightclub.com Doors open 10pm-Dawn CBD Nightclub - 12 McKillop St. City Management reserves all rights. 18yrs & over Photo I.D. req.
