There is no better act to headline an Australian party than Australia’s favourite electro-pop, party starting posse. Sneaky Sound System took 2007 as an opportunity to prove to the world that they were unstoppable with their debut album going Platinum, playing a host of sell-out shows across the country and most recently attaining the coveted position of having the longest charting single in the history of the ARIA charts with I Love It.
BUTTERFINGERS:
Winning ARIA’s and selling out gigs nation wide are all in a day’s work for these Brisbane misfits. They have been invading your airwaves since 2004 with hits like Everytime, Yo Mama, I Love Work and more recently Get Up Outta The Dirt and seem to be only just getting started! Let them melt in your mouths with their balanced chaos of hip hop, punk rock, electro & dub.
KRAFTY KUTS & DYNAMITE MC:
A master of the decks and one of the most consistently brilliant international DJs to visit our shores, Krafty’s sets can swiftly swerve from hip hop to supercharged breaks and electro-funk without losing your attention for a second. Get set for bass lines that will bypass your brain and head straight for your hips.
POTBELLEEZ:
Famous for their crazy nights at Sydney hot spot Moulin Rouge,the Potbelleez are currently riding high on the massive success of their single Don’t Hold Back, a track born to be the soundtrack for summer of 2007/2008.

The Bumblebeez were the 2002 winners of Triple J Unearthed and since then leading man Chris Colonna has engineered their edgy sound of noisy hip hop, electronica and rock all around Australia and across the globe.
