VJ Dio (Uruguay)
MC Hernan MC Hernan neither accepts the status quo - nor sounds anything like them! Taking an intriguingly insightful approach to writing lyrics, this dancer-vocalist-song writer come MC is a social commentator, fighting against the system. Lyrically gifted, always moving forward - eyes open - this Newtown based MC seamlessly brings to the surface honest themes in lyrics that can only be described as controversially catchy, unanticipated and powerful arrangements. Wind it back to the beginning and Hernan (born in Argentina, raised in South-Western Sydney) had no choice but to fall in love with music from birth! Hernan's Latin roots have always held strong and been the foundations to the path that has lead to his dancing, music creating and vocal career pursuit. From Latin dancing at the tender age of 6 and break dancing to NWA and Public Enemy in the 80's, MC Hernan then picked up the microphone and composed his own messages of empathy, awareness and public progression. His influences have now mutated also combine reggae, with the mash of Latin Hip-Hop. The result, Social Progression System! MC Hernan first launched his lyrical career merging with 3 piece group - 'Dub Progression'. From here, regular collaborations with DJ Spex, Dub Chaman and Uber Lingua ensued. Currently MC Herman's societal deprecating approach to writing lyrics gave birth to - Social Progression System (SPS). SPS is an 8 piece band that have grouped together to produce original songs punctuated with personal experiences, insight and human nature.
Gonzo the mad Peruvian Gonzo is a stray that wandered into the
Uber Lingua equation... A peruvian who used to live in Sydney, now resides
in Melbourne and has been welcomed onto the decks where he conjurs up some
seriously good vibes... Reggae, Roots, Latin and Gypsy tunes that will
melt the most hardened musical aficianado.

Hezekiah (ex-London) Born in the holy land, Hezekiah made his way to Melbourne via
South Africa and Sydney in the early 80's. After many drunken nights spent
pissing off ra-ra crowds in the western NSW town of Bathurst for refusing
to play Cold Chisel and the Eagles, Hezekiah was headhunted by talent scouts
from Moby Disk. Here he earned his stripes by skilfully drooping obscure
hip-hop/electronic tracks in-between Nut bush City Limits and Love Shack
at important events such as weddings and bar-mitzvahs. Hezikiah plays an
vast array of dub, hip-hop and electronic Hebrew tracks from across the
world as well as multi-lingual tracks from the Middle East, France and
South East Asia.
BFG To quote BFG "I've been DJing publicly for a little over 6 months now, starting in the world of Dubstep and DnB, but I always had a love of Hip-Hop, Dancehall, Balefunk, Reggaeton, etc.. So, whilst in India and Nepal on a recent overseas trip I went searching for an equivalent from that culture, and found Bhangra and it's many interpretations including Desi versions of many other popular styles like Breaks and DnB. I've now found myself with quite a unique collection of music from the sub-continent."
Patto & Vapor we've managed to track down photos of the two Chilean DJs playing at
