Breath Of Life 2nd Announcement

After months of anticipation, this is it; the moment hype becomes reality...The moment a massive becomes exceptional....Here at Breath of Life HQ, we're all about lung health; but this bombshell will quite literally take your breath away...

Locked and loaded in the breach and ready to explode onto the Ministry of Sound Dance Stage Breath Of Life 2012, Ladies and Gentlemen welcome none other than the multi talented, multi project, one-man machine and international man of the moment, SKRILLEX.

SKRILLEX
He is versed in many different genres including Dub Step, Drum & Bass, Electro-House, etc. Describing his current sound as "a mix of dubstep, electro and glitch all thrown together," new SKRILLEX release "SCARY MONSTERS AND NICE SPRITES" reflects all of the above and beyond. The uplifting post-trance synth melodies of "ALL I ASK OF YOU" (featuring the soaring vocals of Penny) stands in stark contrast to the face-melting electro bass blasts of the massive electro-dubstep hybrid "ROCK N' ROLL (WILL TAKE YOU TO THE MOUNTAIN)."

Aside from the immediate success of "SCARY MONSTERS AND NICE SPRITES," SKRILLEX has also made a name for himself as a highly sought-after remixer. He's already produced officially commissioned remixes for such A-list artists as the Black Eyed Peas ("Rock That Body"), Lady Gaga ("Bad Romance" and "Alejandro"), and La Roux ("In For The Kill"). SKRILLEX stands not only at the vanguard of electronic dance music, but the perpetually evolving new music industry as a whole.

Impressed? We're just getting started. Watch this space...Until then, breathe some life into your summer with some of Australia's most loved superstars...

DRAPHT It's been one hell of a year for Perth's favourite hip hop artist and one of the most talented wordsmiths in Australia, DRAPHT, with his fourth album "The Life of Riley" debuting at number 1 on the ARIA charts (still the only Australian artist to do so this year. Nominated for over ARIA awards this year including Best Male Artist, Single of the Year, Breakthrough Artist, Best Album and the Most Popular Australian Artist, DRAPHT shows no sign of slowing down! A master of any party, and said to attract a batty, hyped, all-ages crowd hungry for blood, sweat and hip-hop everywhere he goes, DRAPHT is sure to bring a little extra bounce to the BOL stage!

FUNKOARS
From headlining a string of sold out shows to smashing the festival circuit, the FUNKOARS have proven without a shadow of a doubt that they are one of Australia's best. Never a group to shy away from saying something controversial or expressing the truths as they see it, the 'Oars deliver running commentary on life, getting loose and professional partying Known for their passionate and outrageous lyrics (if somewhat unconventional), onstage antics and energy, no-one else does Hip-Hop the way FUNKOARS do.

360
Subverting the elitist worlds of both indie and hip hop into something bigger and better, Melbourne Hip Hop prodigy and man behind Australian Hip Hop phenomenon, Rapper Tag, 360 manages to make his music both stunningly accessible and strikingly original by relating deeply personal stories with effortless wit and charisma. His groundbreaking new album, Falling & Flying, sounds like no hip-hop release to come before it. The sophomore release from this innovative indie rapper is at once an inspired mix of rap's traditional down-to-earth grit and indie electro's atmospheric heights. 360 delivers, ready to start flying into the stratosphere.

ILLY
Still kicking goals after the huge success of his latest album The Chase, Melbourne emcee ILLY has become one of the most prominent Hip Hop acts in the Country. And his journey is showing no signs of slowing down. With a massive summer schedule of packed out gigs and major music festivals, it seems ILLY is proving that his rave reviews are no exaggeration. With a reputation of "delivering everything expected and just a little more", it's no surprise he's built up a long list of fanatical fans that we expect will be moshing their way to the BOL main stage this March!

JEBEDIAH
Synonymous with Perth's trademark indie-pop sound of the late 1990s, JEBEDIAH have returned triumphant with their latest Album and greatest achievement thus far, Kosciuszko, (Nominated for an ARIA-Best Album), proudly reclaiming their spot as one of Australia's best alternative rock bands.
With years of experience under their belt and a rejuvinated attitude, JEBEDIAH play with supreme confidence and an ability to truly entertain any crowd. Their live show has gone from strength to strength, ripping up stages and selling out shows Australia-wide and rocking out at some of Australia's biggest festivals. Whether reminiscing with a '90s favourite or singing along with a new hit single, JEBEDIAH do not disappoint!

HELENA
On the over populated electronic music stage, UK Born, HELENA has emerged at the forefront to hit the wheels of steel. A temptress in big rooms, HELENA is Australia's very own Queen of Clubs, with a signature sound of uplifting melodies and rolling basslines.
