The Likes Of You with Marc Romboy, Agoria, Chez Damier and Super Flu
Always looking forward and never back, step by step The Likes Of You has created something special and magical. A merging of young, innovative artists and established names bringing you the sound of Europe and beyond. Never- ending nights, never-ending so…unds and frequencies that touch every person and drive everyone crazy. We love music, we like to party, we love to party with The Likes Of You.
MARC ROMBOY [Systematic Records, Bremen]. 3hrs+
A true pioneer and dance music heavy weight, Marc Romboy has had a influential role in underground music for over a decade through his work at Systematic, Alphabet City, Terminal M and many more labels.
Electronic music with a certain break dance appeal - reminiscent of old school Chicago dance floor insanity - is Marc Romboy’s true passion. Romboy has co-founded and built internationally respected dance-music labels and projects, never tiring of coming up with fresh and innovative ideas to push the limits of electronic sounds.
Through both his solo releases and his collaborations, Romboy has also released on labels including Ovum, Simple, Brique Rouge, Superstition, 20:20 Vision and more. A regular collaboration is that with Romboy and Stephan Bodzin, the two have released records together on Systematic, 20:20 Vision and Bodzin’s own imprint Herzblut, with ‘Atlas’ and ‘Callisto’, being two of their biggest.
Romboy is one of The Likes Of You favorites and never fails to get the crowd into an uncontrollable frenzy, be prepared.
AGORIA [In Fine, Lyon] 3hrs+
The man otherwise known as Sebastien Devaud wasn’t bitten by the dance music bug until he was out of his teens, but once he began hunting imported 12”s from the US and Germany in his native France, there was no turning back. His production career began in 1999, with his debut album Blossom and first compilation following in 2003 – and it was clear even in those early days that a serious new talent was emerging. Blending the throb and groove of deeper, stripped-back techno with a keen sense of musicality, emotion and atmosphere, his sound transcends beyond mere dancefloor disposability.
His 2nd attempt at his first ever visit to OZ will be blessed with more fortune (we hope), don’t miss it. Proudly supplied by Finely Tuned.
CHEZ DAMIER [Mojuba, Chicago]
A now legendary figure in electronic music, Chez Damier has played close witness to many of the pivotal moments in the development of house and techno. Jointly responsible with partner Ron Trent for Prescription Records – widely recognised as one of the greatest labels of all time – Chez Damier carries abound a piece of the soul of house music.
After taking an extended break from the music industry either side of the turn of the millennium, the house music impulse returned to Damier. A handful of releases in 2004 and the odd DJ date hinted that a return was on the cards.
In 2009, the last year of the decade Damier found a trusted outlet for his talents. A series of releases for the German label Mojuba signalled that he was on his way back to show the young pretenders the way. With momentum building behind him, Chez Damier will be exploring fresh artistic avenues in the new decade and looking to consolidate his legendary status as a DJ.
SUPER FLU [Monabery, Germany]
Feliks Thielemann & Mathias Schwarz - that´s Super Flu!!!
Welcome to a world where crispy baked bass drums give the keynote, where Momratzn twitch to tweaking hi-hats and speech bubbles wave engaging basses to you!Do you falter on making a tough decision? Super Flu recommend you garlic bread rolls and 6-minute-boiled eggs!Is your equipment rubbish? Trust your intuition, tickle the max out of the old stuff and squeeze inspiration out of everything you can lay your hands on!Are you lacking ideas? Take your cockatoo’s advice!

Tinker whatever comes to your mind using funny snack bar names, exotic instruments and kid’s toys.Now with your best mate and at least one mutual favourite bakery, lots of Herzblut and a great Traum behind, nothing can harm you anymore…!

DEADBEAT LIVE -
Deadbeat is one Scott Monteith, a long time Montrealer and recent Berlin ex-pat who has been releasing his own special blend of dub laden, minimal electronics since 2000, for labels such as Cynosure, Musique Risquée, Scape, and …Spectral to name but a few. His work has been met with consistent critical acclaim from the industry’s leading publications and websites, and drawn regular performance invitations for some of the world’s most respected festivals, including Barcelona’s Sonar, Berlin’s Transmediale, and Montreal’s own MUTEK.
From 1999 to late 2003, Scott worked, assuming various roles, for the Montreal based company Applied Acoustics Systems, makers of a range of critically acclaimed software synthesizers. Having now moved on to pursue his own musical efforts full time, the experience has left him with a passion for the development of new creative interfaces, and a strong grasp of some the most cutting edge technology in the industry. A certified music technology junkie, his knowledge in such matters has been occasionally called upon at various events, most notably the 2007 edition of the Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne, Australia.
Whether crafting kaleidoscopic house and techno, snap-clap digital dancehall, or impossibly heavy dub, Scott continues to search for his own unique voice between the ones and zeros.

Haul Music, Stable and Roxanne Palour invite you to come say hello to some of our friends. We’re glad you met Gui Boratto the first time round, now meet:
Hello my name is Martin Landsky (Poker Flat/Mobliee Germany)
Unlike any other German protagonist of the electronic dance scene, Martin Landsky withdrew himself from the well known category of electronic dance music. The verbal approach is of course only a portion of the complete and original sound of Landsky‘s music which combines Techno, House, Minimal and Funk. He has been creating waves as a sensational DJ and producer since the middle of the nineties and Landsky has also been heard and recognized, since the year 2000, as one of the key figures in the circle of producers at Poker Flat Recordings.
Hello my name is Alex Kid (Rekids/Cadenza/NRK/F comm./France)
From roots in early nineties Parisian rave culture, this multi instrumentalist, composer, remix artist, DJ and sound engineer has set on a formidable trajectory since Laurent Garnier invited him to put out his debut single, ‘Playground’, in 1997. Alongside definitive producers like St.Germain and Mr.Oizo, Alexkid spent many years as a flagship artist for Garnier’s F Communications label, playing a pivotal role in sculpting the profile of French electronic music both at home and abroad while developing his own inimitable identity. An electronic missionary, Alexkid has taken his epic live arrangements and inventive DJ sets to the four corners of the map and everywhere in between, transferring his early infatuation with the live spectacle into moist celebrations of the moment. Connection is key, and Alexkid’s intuitive interpretations of other artist’s music extends far beyond the DJ booth. After ending five years of residency in Berlin’s Weekend club, he has finally moved to the German capital where he’s now set his base at Water-gate club. In demand as a remix artist, he has lent remixes to everyone from Damian Lazarus to George Michael, a collaboration with Berlin minimal troupe M.A.N.D.Y. Alexkid tamed his ecstatic compositions into works of profound balance and precision.
Supports:
Christian Vance, Dave Pham, Safari, Craig McWhinney, JPS, Nam, Unfettered, Andy Hart & Myles Mac.

The Likes Of You presents Stephan Bodzin (DJ SET) 4hrs+
Free to The Likes Of You members (must be signed up by Thursday July 8 5pm) or $10 on the door.
http://www.likesofyou.com.au/index.p…pper&Itemid=12
STEPHAN BODZIN (Herzblut Records, Bremen)
Authenticity is everything - without it everything would appear to be nothing more than a hollow shell”, says someone who has found himself at the centre of the international techno scene since 2006. The passionate musician from Bremen has become a heavy influence for an awful lot of producers worldwide.
As the son of an experimental musician his career in the music industry was set from an early age. And it was only a matter of time before Stephan would fall in love with electronic music. Composing music for several prestigious European theaters was the first successful platform for his music. His mind-blowing talent was soon discovered and producers such as Oliver Huntemann, Thomas Schumacher and Marc Romboy queued up to work with Stephan.
Due to the quality of his impressive music he has reached the top of the international techno scene. Most recently he has remixed songs for well-known bands such as Depeche Mode, Booka Shade and The Knife
His solos productions have done nothing but raise his worldwide profile even more and he now has the freedom of an individual artist with a worldwide audience.
Stephan’s music is as polarizing as he is, both as DJ and live artist. But there’s one statement that holds true for all of his productions: they are certainly of the highest ‘authenticity
Thursday 8th of July from 8pm till late.
Support from our very own Isaac Fryar.

triple J & Inthemix presents
The Likes Of You with Stephan Bodzin Live, Robert Hood and Hugo.
Intuition is the little man inside all our heads. A flash of illumination that can’t be judged by logical reason. Intuition gives us direction and guidance in every aspect of life, from who we like…and who you don’t, where we eat and drink, what we wear and what music we like. Some people are in tune with and close to their little man, some people don’t hear him at all. For those of you who don’t listen, your intuition is telling to you to its time for techno…Its time for The Likes Of You.

Stephan Bodzin Re-Live will be performed as a worldwide debut in Melbourne on the 2nd of July.
ROBERT HOOD (Omega Album Tour. M-Plant )
Robert Hood needs little introduction. Founding member of the legendary group Underground Resistance as a ‘Minister Of Information’ with ‘Mad’ Mike Banks & Jeff Mills, his seminal works on Jeff Mill’s Axis and his very own M-Plant imprint paved the way for a wave of stripped-down dance floor minimalism that directed much of techno’s path throughout the late Nineties.
Robert Hood makes minimal Detroit techno with an emphasis on soul and experimentation over flash and popularity. Having recorded for Metroplex, Jeff Mills’ Axis label, as well as Patrick Pulsingers ‘Cheap’ label, Peacefrog, and more recently Music Man, Hood also owns and operates the M-Plant imprint, through which he’s released the bulk of his solo material. He has only released 2 ever CD mixes one for French label Logistic, and a mix for the club ‘Fabric’ mix series
HUGO (Italy)
Hailing from Turin in Italy, Hugo was really young when he had the perception that music is something more than an expression of art. During the 90’s classically trained jazz musician Hugo, felt in love with electronic music.
Music is not merely the sound, or the perception of sound, but a means by which perception, action and memory are organized. In Hugo’s live set the beat became more mechanical and the bass grooves became deeper, while elements of electronic funk, latin percussion’s and melodies are grafted over 4/4 beat.
Hugo has been releasing his productions, constantly improving his ability to amalgamate distinct sounds into a cohesive whole. Hugo blends together the artificial and the organic, and uses tension and pacing for a powerful effect on the dance floor. Hugo’s music is not a break with the electronic music of the past, but an extreme re-invention of the music of today.
Dave Pham, Mike Callander, Gavin Keitel, Dean Benson, Pat Tassone, Andy Hart, Myles Mac, Virginia Le, Nick Jones, Tom Evans, Muska, Dwayne Thompson, Isaac Fryar, Matt Kovic, Mike Buhl, Safari, Monty McGraw, Daniel Tardrew, Oliver James, Cameron Woodard, Mitch Kruz, Sam McEwin, Craig McWhinney, John Doe, PK, Van G, Nick Young, Aaron Trotman & Louis McCoy.
