About Will Sparks:
At 20 years of age this young DJ/Producer from Melbourne has cemented his position as the undisputed KING of the now globally loved -Melbourne Sound' and is undoubtedly the fastest rising star in the current Australian dance music scene. His genre-defining track, -Ah Yeah!' hit #1 on the ARIA Dance Singles Chart in 2014, #4 ARIA pop singles chart and #3 on the Beatport overall chart. The Melbourne-bred sensation has come in at #2 Australian DJ for the -inthemix Top 50' DJs, picked up the -inthemix Award' gong for -Breakthrough Artist of the Year' and been head-hunted to remix one of the biggest pop songs of 2013 -Blurred Lines.' Will also set off on his debut North American and European tours and scored a spot on the bill's of a number of internationally recognised festivals such as: TomorrowWorld, Stereosonic and Future Music Festival. Will's praised musical talent and energetic electro-house beats with his own twist have gotten him support from some of the biggest artists in the scene today, with his tracks hugely supported by the likes of: David Guetta, Hardwell, Madeon, Dada Life, Martin Garrix, Chuckie, Rehab, A-Trak, Laidback Luke, TJR and Lazy Rich. In addition to playing sold-out festival and club gigs around the world such as XS - Las Vegas, Studio Paris - Chicago and Pacha NYC, Will also holds residencies at Melbourne's largest venue -Billboard' and Pacha in Sydney. With 150k fans on Facebook, an ever increasing number of sold-out national and international shows and a debut album in the making – there are absolutely no signs of this superstar quietening down any time soon.
About Samual James:
Driven by a ferocious festival anthem and the uplifting buzz it brews, Samual has fallen at the feet of his own beat. Breaking boundaries in this generation's electronic music melt down, the Samual James sound is worth the madness it creates. Blowing up on the harder tips of the progressive and electro house notions - his sound is large whether you like it or not! Inside the studio or bowed by the dance floor, the kamikaze that is Samual James defends the extremities that electronic music has so well shaped. His solo release on Sony sub label Basik Rkrds' -Mega' set the storm in its paces, creating a tornado of hype from his hometown of Melbourne to the monster dance music cities globally with Hardwell, Laidback Luke and Sandro Silva in musical support. With a glowing position in the Top 20 Progressive Chart on Beatport and three weeks in ARIA's Club Chart Top 10, it's no surprise Australia's Will Sparks took to the mic on telling -EDM Tunes' Samual will be the biggest DJ in the world. From teenage years, the studio has been his home whilst the booth has been his resort. Supporting artist for Sander van Doorn and Porter Robinson in Melbourne recently, has seen the solidarity of this gold mine. Dropping a huge beat across dance floors, the world is stepping up and paying attention. In anticipation of his next drop on -Argon' through Hype Recordings with an official remix from the likes of Uberjakd, there is no denying that this southern beau is about get brutal.
