So what to do this Australia Day Hmmm. Normally its a tossup between a BBQ somewhere, or heading to your favourite Pub/Bar/Nightclub for a zillion beers before the sun reaches the highest point in the sky.

My first memory of this guy is from his work with the Global Underground albums in the mid 90′s thinking… why the fuck do all these guys have such weird names (IE: Nik Fish, Nick Warren, Dave Seamen and John Digweed). Nevertheless, he’s a pioneer of progressive house and he’s also in town!!!!

How many rappers out there have a political science degree, have helped build an orphanage in Afghanistan, spent a year in jail as well as managed to sell about 300,000 records without using a record label? One, and if you haven’t heard of him, his name is Immortal Technique and he’s in town!
American house music god Ian Carey is set to grace the stages of Brisbane’s iconic venue The Met for a one time only show on the 6th of January 2012. With the buzz of New Years Eve and New Years Day slowly fading, January 6th is the perfect time to get your 2nd wind and keep the Summer hype going.
Returning to Australia for another round trip in February is Los Angeles native Ras G and The Afrikan Space program for 4 shows in major capital cities, delivering the experimental, healing and easy listening sounds that fans have become accustomed to since the early 90′s.
