DAVE PHAM
Dave Pham began chasing his musical aspirations by collecting vinyl in the early nineties. This collection merely began as Dave couldn’t quite find the music he sought after on any other format. For many years he only had the use of a very primitive stereo and one rather beaten up old turntable. After befriending a local Dj who lent Dave his decks, he began his mixing expedition and never looked back. Over 10 years have past, and since these humble beginnings Dave Pham has become on of Australia’s most sought after artists.
At first Dave made his name in the techno world, choosing to play harder, noisier and more challenging sounds than his pears. This remains Dave’s preference to this day and he always draws a crowd of fans who go there to hear what amazing tracks he will pull from his bag of tricks. Since 2000, Dave has been experimenting with crossing Techno with other genres of music such as Electro and Experimental sounds and although the ride was rough with fans at the beginning, the new style he was playing soon began to draw even a larger crowd.
In 2009 Dave is now received by audiences, other Deejay’s and promoters as being the most versatile Deejay around who is perfect for support, or main act, and can set the tone of the whole night.
Catch Dave every Saturday nights at Pretty Simple and watch out for him headlining the next Likes Of You event!
DEAN BENSON
2005 welcomed Dean Benson (Deano) to the circuit. Showing promise from the first time he graced the decks, he shortly gained much deserved respect and now 4 years later this kid is rolling alongside the biggest names in the business, supporting- Richie Hawtin, Marc Romboy, Carl Craig, Stephen Bodzin, Robert Babicz, Oliver Huntemann, Radioslave, Dusty Kid and many more.
