RackNRuin

Destructive Techy Electro House type stuff.... As heard on the latest Orange Rock Corps advert.
DJ MAG REVIEW: RackNRuin - Skitzo/Audio Porn (Future Perfect)
A smash-and-grab from the mash-up scene here as RackNRuin makes slamming noisenik electro with a great revved-up b-line. No wonder Fake Blood and Sinden are all over this.
4 and a 1/2 out of 5!!

Stanton Warriors

The Stanton Warriors have succeeded in not only bucking musical definition but have picked it up by the collar and kicked its ass. They've also done this in true underground warrior style as despite becoming the first breakbeat act ever to sign to a major label (warner, no less), they were required to, in their eyes, compromise their style for the sake of shifting units. As a result they refused to put out any releases and focused on the DJing whilst a new label was sought (V2).

His music is on the cutting edge of the FutureStep Movement, a chaotic loose assemblage of sonic renegades, steeped in the traditions of Breaks, Dubstep, Rock, Ragga, Grime and Funk, chopping in and out of slow-motion, Halfstep beats.

The Henchmen

In response to the rise of reality television & the emerging ban on all culturally seditious behaviour, a psychobilly pop band called The Henchmen began hiring out halls & warehouses, putting on seditious showcases of reckless abandon disguised as 'parties'.
At first nobody came. even their closest friends and family disassociated from this reckless band of loners & outcasts. So in 2004 they moved from the relative safety of Canberra and spread their 'party' across the national landscape, performing everywhere from Brisbane to Adelaide.
