RifRaf is Uber's Zimbabwean vocal talent.

MC Cipher at BMW Edge, Federation Square as part of the Melbourne Emerging Writers Festival 2007. A Rhythmic assasin, RifRaf glides verbally over his DJs like an african sonic boxer..

With cultural diversity his primary passion, Australian DJ/producer 'bP' (Brendan Palmer) has been representing the musically 'not so represented' for nearing two decades. He has wandered the world gathering sounds and has performed in places as diverse as Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, London, Tijuana, Mexico city and Helsinki to name a few...  In 2004 he launched Uber Lingua and his sonic activity has grown exponentially playing literally hundreds of gigs and promoting culturally charged music in most capital cities of Australia. bP's sets traverse language, culture, genre, history and social scenes; deliberately defiant of mainstream music fashions, he presents an intersection of underground and outernational sounds that capture his imagination. Roots to Futurism, East to West, Minimal to Maximal are all sonic stops on bP's translingual express. Brendan additionally works as a producer at the legendary Melbourne radio station Triple R during the day and presents the weekly 'Dialectic' radio program on the web and  Tasmania's Edge Radio.

Aysu Fevziye CogurÇs first public appearance as a singer was at the age of 13 in front of an audience of 500. Since then Aysu has gone on to extraordinary heights with her music career. This began with her band Funk the Distance, and more recently with Aysu Soulz, Gypsy Crims and Zaray. Aysu has also madeappearances with bands and DJÇs including the Gotan Project (France) during their visit to Melbourne in early 07. She has performed in countless bars and venues in Melbourne and has been a DJ since the age of 18. As an Australian Turk, her sets with Uber Lingua focus on global underground artists that influence her own music. AysuÇs enchanting voice and inspiring lyrics embrace almost every musical genre available to her.  Hip Hop vocalism is a natural progression from her as it draws from her passion for the Turkish language.

Tamil & Singhalese speaking Australian-Sri Lankan Pataphysics is an MC, trumpet player, sonic landscaper & rhythmic sound shaper. He began rapping in Singhalese a few years ago as an excellent way to learn his mother tongue, performing as a solo artist and with Uber Lingua, Astro Flava and the Ubiquitous Dub Legitimizers. With a history that's seen him perform alongside the likes of  Megabias, Elf Transporter, Combat Wombat, Illzilla, Nicky Bomba, TZU, Jeff Lang and the Agency Dub Collective, PataphysicsÇ raps deal with everything from local & international politics, indigenous resistance and dreaming to eastern philosophy, existence and spirituality. His live shows draw deeply on elements of Sri Lankan culture.
