::: Neurojack :::

Neurojack plays progressive drum'n'bass, downtempo through to progressive breaks and house. He has played all other styles of drum'n'bass and jungle since 1992 (making him the first drum'n'bass dj in QLD), and house, breaks, techno, trance since 1988. On last week's show his downtempo/house set was played which went down a treat, especially with the UK listeners.

:::::: Salo Jones ::::::

Salo Jones has always been passionate about music, and when the acid house revolution began around 1989 he quickly caught on to the vibe. Frequenting such seminal clubs as The Tunnel on the Gold Coast, The Beat in Brisbane and landmark raves such as the first Adrenalins, he had found his musical niche.

He first spun records in 1993, but didn't take up seriously spinning until purchasing his own decks in 1994 whilst living in the UK. Inspired by such legendary DJs as Sasha, Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Ritchie Hawtin and Danny Rampling, coupled with frequenting arguable the best clubs in the world, there was no turning back for this boy.

Salo plays a dark, dubby, tribal mix of beats and breaks. From Nu Skool Breaks through to deep house, tech house and progressive trance. This is music to close your eyes, stand in front of the speakers and dance for hours to. Throbbing, sexy basslines, tearing riffs and voodoo like beats make it impossible for punters to stand still.

:::::: DJ ANGUS ::::::
DJ Angus first commenced DJ'ing 15 years ago and today utilises his legendary DJ scratching skills to rock the floors of Australia and New Zealand. Angus rapidly accomplished the recognition of putting Brisbane on the national map by 1990 via winning a succession of highly comptetivie DJ competitions and has supported and trained with DJ's from major international Hip Hop acts such as Public Enemy, Run DMC and DJ Scratch. He also became state champion and national champion in the DMC Finals in Sydney.

As the cold winter chill begins to lift and the body starts warming up, it's time to leave the annual state of hibernation and head out and about to see what new adventures await. As Brisbane Exhibition is just around the corner, people will be looking for a place to escape from the westerly winds and catch up with friends in a cosy atmosphere. With the current shortage of club venues in Brisbane, a new one on the market, The Winery could be the next place to take off.
