Lachlan Holland


Lachlan Holland has been championing the sounds of quality electronic music in Wollongong for over a decade. His radio show "Excursions" on i98fm recently hit the 300 weekly episodes milestone, through which has has quietly been pushing club sounds from around the world, quirky beats and futuristic soul since 2007. He has been putting on deep house parties since 2002, a time when dance music was barely accepted in his hometown (let alone the deeper variety).

After and enlightening jaunt living in San Francisco in 2008-09 he turned to production via his alias, Hober Mallow, and has had several releases via YesYes Records, Big Village and TRL. He has also been behind a series of well-recieved edits and reworks of classic house and disco music, finding favor with fans and enthusiasts in many places. Since relocating to Sydney in 2010, he has held down a number of regular spots around the city, as well as maintaining several weekly residencies in Wollongong.

Working as a full time club DJ over ten years, his sets and tastes have always remained eclectic and guided by the needs of the dancefloor. However, the rich club sounds of both Chicago and Detroit, as well as the feeling of classic disco are the central line that guides his sound, both in the club and in the studio. He has hosted and supported an extensive cross-section of the best DJ's both from Australia, and from around the world.

MITCHELL FOWLER & GARY BENNETT



MITCHELL FOWLER + GARY BENNETT

Mitchell and Gary have been Djing separately for a while now but over the past year and half they got together through their mutual love for house music.
These bright young underground house DJ's hail from the UK and have been impressing in clubs though out London and Kent, and more recently Australia.

Being spoon fed 90s house music from his older sister, Mitchell knew as soon as he had enough pocket money he wanted to get some turntables. Since then he found a love for playing to a crowd, playing at clubs and pirate radio's stations from a young age. When he moved to Kent from London he met up with Gary.

Working two seasons in Ibiza saw Gary develop a love for deep and dark house and techno. In his early teens, gary got his first set of turntables, playing any records he could get his hands on, garage, drum & bass, house and even some 80's pop.

2012 saw them play alongside some heavyweights in the house scene such as INFINITY INK, BUTCH, FLASHMOB, LEE BRINX, COZZY D, JOHNNY MIKES, REBEL, DJ W!LD, NO ARTIFICIAL COLOURS, MICHAEL JANSON, CLAIRE RIPLEY, ALEXIS RAPHAEL, SIS....It also saw them start up their own event and with the help for a couple others, RETOX SUNDAYS has gone from strength to strength.

Retox sundays was started last April with just one thing in mind - to throw a decent sunday day rave. Since that first ever event nothing has got in their way, not even the police when the second event got shut down!…Retox sundays has not even reached it's first birthday and have already had some big names grace the decks including No artificial colours(Akbal/Nurvous), Lee Brinx(Lower east) and headlining the next event is Mr nice guy himself JESSE PEREZ(hot creations/Mr nice guy records)

Their musical influence spans the whole spectrum of house music and beyond, adapting to any style this duo know how to get you dancing.

Favorite Night spot / Venue

So far in Sydney i think the Burdekin is a cool venue, but out of the rest of the world it has to be DC-10.
