Nathan exploded onto the scene last year with the mighty ‘Outhouse’ on James Holden’s Border Community label, one of the most astounding debut singles in a long time which has surely now earned classic status, still receiving regular club and radio plays one year down the line.

Adam Bartas

There are people who play records and then there are DJs like Adam Bartas. This 23-year-old knows that Djing isnt just about playing the right records at the right time, its about the emotion and the passion that accompanies them and conveying it to the dancefloor. Its a theory Bartas has had plenty of chances to test out of late, as he continues his rapid rise up Melbournes DJing ranks to become one of the citys most in-demand house jocks.
