Reminder! Its my 30th birthday bash, so come along and hear some of NZ and Australia's greatest music.
ANGELTHEORY Based in Melbourne, Australia, ANGELTHEORY was concieved by Charles Fenech mid 2002.
The sound results vary from cinematic EBM club tracks to quiet melodic songs, giving this project a well rounded feel. Since the debut release of "Transmission EP" in 2004 and onto the album "Fatal Condition" ANGELTHEORY has always been known for a blend of home and club listening sound. Tours in Europe followed to help bring the music to the people, and this proved quiet successful keeping "fatal Condition" in the TOP 10 DAC for a month. 2005 saw the second chapter begin as a harder and far darker side started to appear with the release of the "Black And Blue EP". This thumping track found its way easily into clubs worldwide, shortly after came "re-possession" the second full-length album. Showing a far more mature approach to the song writing, This album too became known for its diversity. The same year saw again tours in Europe and in the USA.
Live, ANGELTHEORY consist of Charles Fenech, Dave Foreman from TANKT and John Von Ahlen from The Tenth Stage.

NANOTEKWellington's Nanotek is the latest New Zealand producer to gain recognition internationally for his distinctly heavy Drum and Bass.
Industrial metal and subsequently Jungle in the late 90's as key influences are evident in his distinctive, sinister, technical masterpieces of Drum and Bass. His production's destructive capability is fuelled by surgically dissected breaks incorporating the skilled manipulation of samples.
His first release on Germany's Intransigent Digital - Nightwatch, gained overwhelming support from the international community. Now signed exclusively to Dylan's Freak Cult and with releases out on Obscene Recordings and Intransigent Recordings Nanotek is defnitely a producer to watch out for.
If you've witnessed first hand the aftermath of Nanotek's original production from the dancefloor, this is merely a taste of what is to come.
