Time August 28 at 10:00pm - August 29 at 7:30am
Location InkCoherent
While The Only are pretty new on the scene in the last year they have had their debut single in the ARIA Top 20 which went on to spend 10+ weeks in the top 50, remixed for One Love, Bomb Squad Records and Vicious - while DIM MAK is busy remixing them.
They've been playing to huge crowds alongside The Bloody Beetroots and Crookers whilst Steve Aoki and Tocadisco are busy playing their songs elsewhere. And now its time they came down to little 'ole NZ and played alongside:
Dan Aux
Clarke Gayford
Shannon Ryan
Audio Harassment
Jono Peters (WHG)
Monkz
Shane Aylett
Scott Yearbury (WHG)
It's also the Auckland leg of Dan Aux's winter tour so expect a bit of madness around that.

BIO:
His first track 'Gorilla Flex' was originally just for laughs but it turned out to be quite a highly rated track and it wasn't long until he got his first Dubstep release on vinyl, with 4:20 records. Enjoying the new way of production he militantly went on to make a few more tracks, one entitled 'Half Drunk' and the other 'Make Our Day' which also made the vinyl release with Gorilla Flex. 5 Months on FuntCase still continues his wave of energetic filth, mixed with other styles to flex his production muscles and has managed to make a fairly quick but effective impact on the scene, getting massive support from the likes of N-Type, Rusko, Crissy Criss, Borgore, Trolley Snatcha and more. His appearances in numerous clubs around the UK has seen his popularity rise very quickly, and with tracks already making appearances on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Rinse FM, Get Darker and other big stations and it looks like he is set to rise just as quickly in the next year or so. Future collaborations include Trolley Snatcha, Datsik, Riskotheque, Cookie Monster and more lined up Future remixes for the likes of Never Say Die Records (CTRL Z's Imprint) and Rottun Recordings (Excision's Imprint) Future releases with labels such as Circus, Heavy Artillery, Rottun, XS Dubz, Prime Audio and Dubsaw with more in the pipeline FuntCase is rising fast!

**Lorne Padman**
With over a decade on the decks, Lorne Padman truly is a testament to the longevity of Australia's dance music industry. With humble beginnings in Perth as a pioneer of everything from New Order & Underworld to 'hands in the air' big room house, Lorne's tunes are united by a common - they're all lock n loaded dancefloor weapons.
Since moving to Melbourne in 2004, his last few years have seen him grace stages in Europe, New Zealand & Russia's mega-club 'RAI', however his greatest achievement to date is his current role as General Manager of Australian dance label juggernaut VICIOUS, along side industry veterans John Course & Andy Van (Vandalism, Madison Avenue). Developing, signing and marketing some of the worlds leading musical talent including Ian Carey, The Potbelleez, Dirty South, Vandalism, Mousse T., Freemasons, Stonebridge, Supafly Inc, BodyRox, mrTimothy and Mind Electric has given Lorne front row seats to the world's most cutting edge music dropped on his desk daily.
On top of his DJing and Vicious careers, Lorne also manages to squeeze more than his fair share of time in the studio. An avid music lover from an early age splicing together 'mix-tapes' (with actual cassette tapes!), making his own beats and tunes was a seemingly natural step for him; spending studio time with the likes of Dirty South, Studio B, Ian Carey, Supafly Inc and Christian Luke since 2005, Lorne has collaborated on a horde of remixes which have received notable support across the globe – including Hook n Sling 'The Best Thing' (#1 ARIA Club Chart for 7weeks), Silosonic 'Something to Make You Feel Right' (#1 ACC), Stonebridge 'You Don't Know' (#7 ACC), Pitch Dark & Sgt Slick 'I Am Ready' (#10 ACC), SE:SA 'Like This, Like That' (#10 ACC), So Phat! 'The Surface', James Kakande 'You You You' and Wamdue Project 'Forgiveness'. Lorne & Christian's remix of Kurd Maverick's awesome cover 'Blue Monday' cover took out the prestigious #1 ARIA Club Chart position for 7weeks to round out 2008, was selected for the Ministry Of Sound Annual 2009 with their remix of 'The Secret' by Peroxide (Toolroom Records UK) and was twice playlisted by 'Pete Tong BBC UK Radio1 Essential Selection' with the coveted 'Pete Tong's big seal of approval!'
Lorne & Christian made waves in 2009 remixing Dirty South 'Alamo', Juan Kidd & Felix Baumgartner feat Lisa Millett 'Now You're Gone' for Defected/OneLove (#1 ARIA Club Chart for 5weeks), Tommy Trash 'Need Me To Stay' (Top3 ARIA Club Chart for 8 weeks and co-written by The Potbelleez), Moony 'I Don't Know Why' (Top10 ARIA Club Chart for 8 weeks) and Lorne is set to round out the year with some new cracking solo productions that promise to smash a dancefloor near you!
