he traveled to Qatar and remixed local radio broadcasts putting together
arabesque electro, beats and drum 'n bass. Since then, he's begun producing
global music influenced electronic music, and has DJed at Uber Lingua parties
in Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide alongside running the Sydney residencies
since 2005. Most recently he toured Mexico, Canada and the USA gathering

bP555 (masked bass & beats) feat. Sri Pataphysics + el Tigre (masked sax) With cultural diversity his primary passion, Australian DJ/producer 'bP555' (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. bP555'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 bP555's translingual express. Brendan presents the weekly 'Dialectic' radio program on the web and across Australia on the Community Radio Newtork twice weekly... Tamil & Singhalese speaking Australian-Sri Lankan Sri 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. El Tigre redefines what can be done with a Saxaphone... 
Paz - Holder of M-Box and Serato D/A converters. Resider of Melbournes inner North, cycling at 35k/ph, entrering a 320 Kbpm to a club limiter at 150bpm. Hybrid master of cold crushing club rock. A discosaurus of upfront digital dutty. Highly arrogant about M.O.S requests, death to sleepers. A swagger formed from a raodmixin' carnival wine. A front thats all macho street charm. A Nokia N80 with 30 reference mixes on heavy rotation. A rag that represents the sweaty dancefloor, puttin' it in de air.....
Born on Reunion Island, where African music is part of everyday life, Mr Fish moved to France in the 80's. He was involved in the creation of the electronic music Borelais festival in the south of France, he then moved on to play & live in Sweden, Germany, Holland and finally London in 1997, before moving to Melbourne in 2005. In '99 he joined the groov'n'bass movement with his friend Eric Soul,incorporating African rhythms with hip hop grooves and techniques such as scratching into his sets... Since moving to Melbourne he became a part of the furniture at Uber Lingua events as resident Afrobeat specialist, mixing in the music of the French world, playing the Melbourne Afrobeats Festival and Laneway Festival Melbourne in 2007. The rest is history. Wankel Rotary Engine
"3re aka wanklerotaryengine began experimenting from birth and eventually was spinning vinyl as the Y2K bug was taking a firm grip on the fears of the collective corporate evil we have come to know as "suits". He creates a vibe that entertains and challenges both male and females alike in a unique style, coming from within. Using elements of familiarity and child like fun yet evolved and textured, then at the same time can be scraped in favour of a new and completely more ridiculous idea. Not being content to be typecast just as a dj, recently he has taken to showcasing a more personalised platform through production in which to unleash his knowledge & creativity to mash up tha dance. From silence to noise, beats to bass, cultured to groundbreaking, emotional to cold steal, always pushing and creating the future sound, never following the popular hype, never predictable, never caring if you read this shit, never saying neverÖ forever forward no rewind! Yoink!
yoink! is bumping juicy tropical bass,Ýpumping geometric freak-core,
cosmic booty-trance and wampalicious afro-tech shockouts. blazing rainbow
fire through electrical snakes, mingling far flung music from speakers
in far flung places, and imagining sounds the na'vi would rave to in their
UV jungle parties.
VJ Siadatz (formerly SDzeit), Jean Poole, Square Eyes, Arnold Eye Irons + more TBA Melbourne based Dom Evans is VJ Siadatz and has been actively generating digital light for the past five years. His work combines his illitrative art, sampled imagery, self made animations and other elements, often flowing between dark abstraction, urban psychogeographics and scientific surrealism. His work with Uber Lingua is sensitive to the cultural intersections that are being exlored and the collisions of ancient worlds with the modern hi tech... the results are stunning. post-UK video artist, light & optics sculptor and lecturer at Swinburne University, Paul Rodgers AKA Arnold Eye Irons connects with decades of video art history and rips it back into the now. Analogue and digital. VJ Square Eyes makes videos that might be termed "the thinking
woman's MTV". Her work explores themes of identity, pop culture, race and
cultural iconography. A new addition to the Uber fold, Square Eyes favours
things kitsch yet beautiful and infuses her live sets with samples and
original materials that marry Aussie with Orient. Square Eyes is video
artist Eugenia Lim, a member of Melbourne audio-visual collectives Tape
Projects and OUTPOST. She has exhibited in galleries and festivals in Melbourne
and New York and in 2009 her work will be included in Figuring Landscapes,
a major touring exhibition of work by UK and Australian artists to be exhibited
at venues such as the Tate Modern and ArtSway (UK).
