Judges & Mentors:

BETH GRACE – KISS.FM Radio Presenter & DJ

Beth is the official presenter of the ‘Like That’ Show on KISS FM, every Tuesday afternoon from 2pm, featuring new tracks as well as featuring dear friends from the music scene on the show! Keeping you up to date with news, laughs and tunes! What a tunesday!

In her own right, disco-jockey Beth Grace has been a regular on the gig circuit since ’14, when she took on getting behind the decks, rather than the biddie begging for song requests. With her eyes set abroad, nothing is stopping her. She describes a ‘bucket list’ of venues and festivals that are on her ‘TO-DO’ list, (Yes… she went there)

SIMON SALERNO (USM Mentor)

Simon has released show-stopping tracks on labels such as Ministry of Sound, Sweat it Out, Onelove, Etc. Etc & Vicious Recordings, which lead to his music being played on Australian soil (which he calls home) and abroad, featuring on BBC Radio 1 UK, Nova 100 & the Fox.
His Music has been played & supported by the likes of Maseo (De La Soul), A-Trak, Anna Lunoe, Tommie Sunshine, Stanton Warriors & Timmy Trumpet. This exposure lead to a string of high profile remix opportunities for artists & bands Savage, Guy Sebastian, Alpine, Accadamy, Arthur Baker, Jam Xpress & Rob Pix.

Simon has since achieved many accolades, some of which include supporting high profile artists Snoop Dog, Mylo, Hardwell & Deorro at festivals all around the country at Stereosonic, Summadayze, Future Music Fesitval & Parklife to name a few. He has also toured & held residencies at some of the countries premiere live music venues such as Revolver, Electric Circus, 161, World Bar, Billboards & Mynt Lounge.

He has held the number one position on the Beatport House & Pulse chart along with a string of top ten placing in the ARIA Club chart even taking out the number one position for his remix for Murph & Petch featuring Livingstone – You Can Call Me Al. But this is not the end of his story; he has learnt the craft of audio engineering, to provide an experience in the studio, to accompany his musical talent, gelling his skills together, to cross boundaries and keep pushing forward and to find that new undiscovered sound that sparks interest with his trained ear. There is no doubt that Simon is accomplished in his skill, knowledge and talent, he is full of passion, encouragement and vision, for himself, as well as mentoring the future generation of artists to help guide them along on their journey in today’s evolving music industry.

MATT SASSARI (FRA)
https://soundcloud.com/matt-sassari

Hailing from Marseille, France, Matt has established himself as one of the world’s most prominent house and techno producers thanks to his recent features on SCI TEC, Tronic Music, Bitten Records and Deeperfect.

Alongside Ron Costa, Matt entered into the world of electronic music with Potobolo Records, and is now at the forefront of the techno scene. It’s a natural match with more than 15 releases under their belt. This has opened doors and drummed up the interest of several labels like SINCOPAT & Time Has Changed Records.

A year on, and it’s a new label who will place their trust in Matt: Deeperfect, Stefano Noferini’s world-renowned imprint from Italy. Stefano & Deeperfect saw potential in Matt as a rising star in the techno scene with nine releases, remixes & a production pack for Beatport.

A self-made man of electronic music, it’s with his friend Matt Mor that he launched his own imprint Panterre Musique, and confirms his ambition to offer us his own vision of techno music.

From Wally Lopez, John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Carl Cox, Luciano, Maceo Plex & Laurent Garnier, Matt Sassari’s groove seduces beyond the technosphere, breaks down barriers and bends genres.

One thing is certain: Matt Sassari will continue to shine because the best is yet to come.

✪ ANTHONY PAPPA ✪
https://www.facebook.com/AnthonyPappaOfficial/

Anthony Pappa is a true master of his craft and one of the most respected and revered DJs on the international circuit. The combination of his genuine love for his art, his down to earth, lovable personality and his constant desire to push the musical boundaries at performances all around the world has made Anthony one of the most sought-after DJs on the planet.

Long renowned for his passion, dedication & flawless mixing and marathon DJ sets, and having just been voted 75th of all time best DJ of in the world (voted ahead of current superstars such as Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Afrojack and Arman van Helden) by Dash Berlin World, Anthony Pappa’s unique trademark defining “track selection, journey build, & precision mixing skills” coupled with his overall way of making things just pop has seen him become one of Australia’s most successful DJ exports.

✪ SEAN QUINN ✪
http://seanquinn.dj/

Since 1994 Sean Quinn has been plying his trade in the Melbourne scene, producing music that saw him gain international and local recognition (his CJ Dolan co-produced track ‘Dreams’ under the Quench moniker went to no. 2 in the French pop charts). He has toured the country as the support act for Prodigy, toured with the Big Day Out Festival in 2000, has played the closing set at the Summadayze festival multiple times, mixed a compilation for Ministry of Sound, he has… you get the idea…

Sean Quinn is one of the mainstays of the Australian dance scene. Of late, Sean has focused on life away from music, so a DJ set from Sean is a rare treat. Don’t miss this opportunity to see why Sean is so highly regarded by his peers.

SYNTHWAVE / CYBERPUNK / ELECTRO / INDUSTRIAL
FREE ENTRY

Acts: Sirus (Live Instrumental Set) / TESSEL / D-Gen / Zerotonine
VJ: A Comic Book Villain

Laser Highway returns to host Australia's premier night dedicated to the very best anything-with-the-word-wave-in-it, italo-disco, outrun, retro electro, 80's jams, games, and anything else firmly with its roots in synthesizer-based music to keep you grooving into the night! We've cultivated a culture that takes inspiration from the 80's and 90's, cyberpunk, vaporwave, deep reds/purples/blues and a bunch of sci-fi/action movie tropes into a clash of exploding sound and colour.

Laser Highway is a monthly event featuring an incredible sound system, laser light shows, projection art, cocktail list, a big screen multiplayer game space and a pounding dancefloor to transport you to your retro home away from home. We've prided ourselves on creating a radically inclusive alternative club night to give you an experience that's all about those thumping beats, synthesized basslines, good times and a touch of nostalgia and camaraderie from your past, present and future friends that you haven't yet met. 

In August, we're unshackling from the optimistic retro future and taking a trip to the grim acid rain-slicked streets of the year 20XX! Whip out your Ono-Sendai Cyberdecks, tool up with your best smartlink handcannon, call in muscle from your best Razorgirl and prepare to raid mega-corporations in the way that hurts them the most: their data. Leading the charge through the Matrix are Melbourne-based cyberpunk heroes Sirus playing a very special instrumental-only set as a duo! Running support operations to guide you through walls of Black ICE are three DJs putting their lives on the line to give you a party you won't soon forget.

SIRUS (LIVE INSTRUMENTAL SET)
SIRUS is a Cyberpunk music project based in Melbourne, Australia.
Long regarded as one of Melbourne’s leading Electro-Industrial bands, SIRUS is gaining traction internationally thanks to their uncompromising efforts in production and experimentation with hybrid electronica.

With influences spanning EDM, Synthwave, and World Music, and with each live performance including unique arrangements of content not present in any recorded material, SIRUS are a force to be reckoned with.

Sharing the stage with scene heavyweights such as 3Teeth, Combichrist, Hocico, Grendel, Aesthetic Perfection and Savant, to name just a few, they now reach out to conquer even more sonic territory- this time through a hybrid live mix of their instrumental discography.

Producer/Vocalist Josh Rombout and Keytarist/DJ Andrew Waugh will be delving into the SIRUS archives to summon the more eclectic parts of their dance music side.

D-GEN [KISS FM]
D-GEN was first recognised as a Jungle & Techno DJ at underground events and raves in the early New Zealand electronica scene during the mid nineties, immediately driving for the breakbeat sound as he designed sets of low profile, hard hitting music evolving through Drum & Bass / breakbeat and into Tech House & retro inspired Electro. Sam also is the founding member for Kiss FM's Retro Electro Show that he hosts with Zerotonine!

https://soundcloud.com/degeneration

TESSEL
Making his return to Laser Highway since moving to Melbourne from Sydney, TESSEL is a DJ and designer inspired by all things Outrun, Cyberpunk, fast cars and outer space. He’ll bring an eclectic mix of everything cyberpunk and outrun to the mixtable, crank some pounding beats and trippy soundscapes.

ZEROTONINE [KISS FM]
Zerotonine is the host, resident DJ and runs Australia's first and only monthly club night dedicated to synthwave, outrun and retro electro: Laser Highway in Melbourne. As a labour of love, he is dedicated to providing a unique experience for music makers and fans alike. He is also the co-host of www.kissfm.com.au's (87.6 in Melbourne) Retro Electro Show from 2pm Wednesdays AEST.

A veteran DJ and creator for over a decade playing too many genres internationally and at home in Australia, he is in love with arpeggio basslines, warm synths, and driving drums; his style is inspired by 80's movies, the Lamborghini Countach, boss fights, neon vectors, keytars, androids, reverb guitars, gated drums, cosmic phenomena, bleeps and bloops. Expect a range of sonic styles to get your feet stomping and head rocking from all corners of the retro-verse.
