DJ ORINOKO AND VALLI LEE from Phreakin Productions in Brisbane are visiting town for two gigs, boxingday at Embassy for :: BOOTLEG :: and Dec. 28th at Exchange for :: PHREAKIN :: - Flyers out all over! :: ORINOKO DJ BIOGRAPHY :: With a knack of blending & mixing a variety of styles into a sound and groove of his own, Orinoko can make the floor move. Tribal beats, hard breaks and funkified techno are some of the sounds to be heard from the womble. This attitude has seen Orinoko support some of the worlds best techno talent including Jeff Mills, Space DJs, Ben Simms, Devilfish, Chester Beatty, Dr. Motte, Kazu Kimura, DeeDee, Slack, Slieker, Simon Digby, DiskoPussy and Simon Coyle. As one half of Phreakin Productions, Orinoko works along with fellow techno head and longtime business partner DJ Shadrach. Originally hailing from North Qld and starting to promote nights and spin records in mid-'95 Orinoko has spent the last 3 years in Brisbane cultivating the sound that is techno. From October 2000 to December 2001 Orinoko was one half of the team behind Brisbane's longest running weekly techno night "lucid". The night ran every Saturday night @ Mantra nightclub (RIP). He is also responsible for organising/promoting a number of one-off parties (Hypnosis, Fuse, Acidisco, liquidBASS), Orinoko is always on the go, never tireless in the pursuit of getting a groove on the floor. For 2002, Orinoko and Phreakin Productions have moved solely into party mode with a string of successful nights, 'liquidBASS'. These nights have gained a cult following firmly placing them in hearts of the Brisbane underground, each bigger and better than the last with no sign of them slowing down and the emphasis placed purely on quality music rocking the dance floor. The latest, in conjunction with TeriYakiAnakiSaki (Melbourne) and Tek-Ni-Kal (Syd), successfully toured Japanese techno pounder Chester Beatty around Australia. The success and quality presented @ liquidBASS has led to a liquidBASS stage @ the forthcoming Slinky in the Park festival to be held in Brisbane on New Years Day. With an international lineup including Carl Kennedy (Cream, UK) , Jody Wistenernoff (UK), Rachel Auburn (UK), Pete Wardman (UK) Infusion and Resin Dogs the New Years day in Brisvegas will be rocking to the tech funk sound of Orinoko and the liquidBASS crew. Phreakin Productions have also joined forces with a number of other local production crews to form the United Sound System. The aim behind USS has been to share experience and resources to put on quality dance events and of cause, to rip up the floor.The Groove is yet to stop and the future is bright. :: VALLI LEE DJ BIOGRAPHY :: Valli Lee knew she had music in her blood from her earliest beginnings to her first party in 1998. She has shown that her technique and intuition for the floor is spot on. Her DJing style does not merely revolve around filling a dance floor; it's all about getting people to listen and move to new and innovative sounds. In 2001, Valli Lee co-promoted her own club night "Fresh cut" in Brisbane at Club Mantra. The night covered all styles of music concentrating on funk-fused techno and drum 'n' bass and ran until the untimely demise of the venue. During this time, she developed new skills and a partner in crime, DJ Cam. This "decklicious duo" teamed up under the moniker Mix 'n' FX for Geisha in August 2001, to raise money for Breast Cancer Research and they were a huge success. Together they have performed at Sonic Animation's Reality by Deception tour, liquidBASS and have supported some of the best International and Australian electronic artists. Valli Lee's appreciation for music heightened when she was joined the Sanity Dance Arena Team in August 2001 as the Techno and Tech-House Vinyl Buyer. Over the past year, she has expanded the vinyl selection and encouraged the growth of this particular genre in the dance music community. Valli Lee's professionalism and skills have seen her support International and Australian electronic artists and DJs including 2002 ARIA winners 1200 Techniques (x2), Sonic Animation (x2), Pound System, Princess Superstar (USA), DJ Tye (Taiwan), Dee Dee, Slack, Diskopussy and most recently ChesterBeatty (Japan). She will perform at Slinky in the Park on New Years Day supporting such acts as Carl Kennedy (Cream, Miss Moneypennys), Jody Wisternoff (Way Out West), Rachel Auburn (Tidy Trax), Kazu Kimura (CLR Recordings), Kid Kay Ferris (NineONine Records), Infusion (Thunk Recordings) and Resin Dogs. The year to come Lots of good stuff for you all in 2003! University O-WEEK wil feature two on-campus events from us. We are still toiling with ideas to make new students aware of our activities. Please push the mailinglist to any newcomers you may bump into or forward a copy of our mailout to them. Our new website should be online during January - Think Dirty does some pretty out-there design and code, so expect a delicious site. As you know we have done preliminary scheduling for ten up-beat events during 2003. We will have some big act's coming to town (Interstate and international acts are being negotiated with - the first international slammer potentially landing already in February). Furthermore, we will be rigging a massive outdoor electronica event during the winter months. This event will feature top Australian acts, the devastating audible power of Wild Gravity's BIG festival rig, a full colour laser system and loads of moving head visuals to boot. We will need helpers for this one, so please contact us if you are keen (admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) More input on the artist vote would be great, although lots of responses have been received with gratitude. So, if you care to voice your opinion, please take a pick from below mentioned artists, rank them by preference on a 1-5 scale and send off the result to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with artist vote in the subject line.
