| Disko Diva |
"ELECTRO BEATS, FLAWLESS MIXING AND UPLIFTING VOCALS ARE THE KEY ELEMENTS THAT MAKE THIS DJ" This is a true reflection of this Diva's musical experience and ability. She is already well known as one of New Zealand's top DJ's who is a regular performer for New Zealand's premier House Music events company Highlife Entertainment, and for one of New Zealand's longest running club nights "Mint" before moving to Australia to expand her musical experiences. Her style ranges from funky pounding electro to driving big room anthems. She's DJ'ed for crowds across New Zealand and has started her international repertoire. The Disko Diva has an energetic stage presence and is a beautiful DJ. Not only can she rock a dance floor with driving basslines, gripping vocals & endless energy but this combined with her sassy style, has made her such a hit. Having a strong NZ following from her 4.5 year career in the industry her enthusiasm, passion and energy behind the decks led the Disko Diva to be a feature DJ at Auckland's top bars and clubs supporting numerous international DJs & producers. Her ability to interact with the crowd creates such a vibe in her sets that has seen her secure regular spots throughout New Zealand's most popular clubs. Not one to follow the masses and change with every new sound that comes along ensures that her sets are packed full of music from start to finish and will leave nobody able to resist the dance floor. Regular playing at large dance parties, small bars and clubs has amplified the Diva's ability to read crowds, and ensures that wherever and whenever she's playing you know it's going to be one hell of a party. The talented Disko Diva has an undeniable gift behind the decks; combine this with her stunning looks, good nature and endless enthusiasm for house/electro music and you have a lethal combination not to be missed.

| Jamez Brown |
 Favorite Quote: "Just like in life. Its not just WHAT you do, but also, HOW you do it, the same should be said of Djing - Its not just WHAT you play, but also, HOW you play it" Introducing DJ Jamez Brown, started a career of Djing in 1994 at a "ounce were warriors" style pub, where if the crowd did not like what you were playing, they would be quick to let you know by throwing beer bottles (empty and full), lets just say, same mistakes were not made twice. From Dunedin to Whangarei in New Zealand, and Sydney to Port Headland in Australia, Jamez has been jamming the jams, creating the cutz and mixing the mixes, constantly treading on a fine line between contrast and consistencey, to keep the crowds ammused and entertained, and to give them a unique experience, this has been the style of Dj Jamez Brown.
