SUMMADAYZE ARTIST BIOS

Pendulum (AUS)
2002 saw Perth born Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding embark on a mission to pull together their production resources, ideas and influences from various styles of music to create a new sound that they felt was missing from dance music, and so Pendulum was born. It wasn't long before they started creating some of the dirtiest, gut wrenching drum and bass beats on the underground quickly leading to the release of their first album 'Hold Your Colour' in 2005 featuring club favourites 'Slam', 'Fasten Your Seatbelt' and 'Tarantula'. Ever evolving and exploring new territory, Pendulum then decided to take their music to the live arena, forming a rock band with an electronic twist and in 2008 the band released their second studio album 'In Silico' which spawned their first top 10 chart hit single 'Propane Nightmares'. 2010's release of 'Immersion' secured Pendulum a No. 1 album and pushed further boundaries from balearic inspired dance anthem 'The Island' to metal banger 'Self vs Self' penned with rock Gods, In Flames, via the dark and poetic musings of 'Witchcraft'. Still hungry for more, the band continue to wow audiences with their ever evolving live show, headlining the worlds' biggest festivals and playing to sold out arena audiences across the globe. Consisting of face ripping beats and jaw dropping visuals, the Pendulum live show is a multi sensory performance not to be missed.

SNOOP DOGG (USA) All shows except Adelaide
With today's proliferation of mass media, pop culture icons have a tendency to seem overly ubiquitous. Yet, hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg is different. While he's everywhere, all of the time—from The View to 106th & Park, Sportscenter to One Life To Live, and from commercials with Adidas to Pepsi Max—Snoop's continuing appeal to his legions of fans stems from a true bond that they have built with him through his music. And like Bigg Snoop, the music's been everywhere. Whether it's a stadium stage or the screen on your mobile phone, Snoop has most likely rocked it. Snoop Dogg's ability to stay at the forefront of popular culture and connect with his fans has resulted in unwavering relevance. While he's a TV and movie star, the founder and coach of a hugely successful youth football league and a savvy adapter of new technology, Snoop Dogg remains Tha Doggfather of hip-hop. Incredibly, his music is as "doggumented" now as it was in 1992 around the launch of his timeless debut Doggystyle. Now, as anticipation steadily climbs for his quickly approaching 11th studio album, Doggumentary, Tha Doggfather is continuing to enhance his connection with his fans through his music.

Scissor Sisters (USA) All shows except Adelaide
They twisted disco, New York electro and good old fashioned Elton John-era rock n' roll into an explosion of infectious dance floor anthems that appeals to just about anyone with a pulse. They're the Scissor Sisters — vocalists Jake Shears and Ana Matronic, multi-instrumentalist Babydaddy and lead guitar Del Marquis - and they've have made that type of pop music experience their battle cry. After the B-side to the band's first single, "Comfortably Numb", became a mainstay in nightclubs, their eponymous debut album became an international smash — eventually scoring a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Record. Their follow up "Ta-Dah," (2006) was the first time the band had a single, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", and an album simultaneously hold #1 spots on the UK charts. While their latest effort, "Night Work" debuted in the top 10 in several international territories. Entertainers at heart, Scissor Sisters have earned a reputation for their humorous, controversial and outright transgressive live performances that have filled venues from New York's Bowery Ballroom to London's O2 Arena.

Moby (DJ Set) (USA)
Moby was born in New York City, but grew up in Connecticut, where he started making music when he was 9 years old. First hitting decks while attending college he was a fixture in the late 80's New York House and Hip-Hop scenes before turning his hand to production. His first single, Go was released back in 1991(listed as one of Rolling Stone's best records of all time) and he's been making albums ever since - with sales exceeding over 20,000,000 worldwide and a string of production credits for the likes of David Bowie, Metallica and the Beastie Boys. Having played well over 3,000 concerts around the planet the planet, there's literally nothing that this icon of the electronic scene hasn't done, seen or experienced.

Calvin Harris (UK) All shows except Adelaide
Skipping the usual apprenticeship in the clubs or on indie labels, Calvin Harris went from posting his own D.I.Y. electroclash music online through MySpace and similar sites to signing with the multinational giant EMI almost in a single step. Hailing from the southern Scotland city of Dumfries, he was first attracted to electronic music in his teens and was recording bedroom demos by 1999. The rest, as they say, is history. Following a pair of successful singles, Harris released his debut album, I Created Disco, in the summer of 2007, which spawned two top ten hits (Acceptable in the 80s and The Girls), and took the planet by storm. Along with his work as a solo artist, which includes touring in front of a full live band, he's also an in-demand remixer - having tweaked singles for stars like Jamiroquai, Groove Armada, All Saints, and CSS.

Grandmaster Flash (USA)
There are a lot of stories about the birth of jazz and the beginning of rock n' roll, but hip-hop has founding fathers: one of them is DJ Grandmaster Flash. He was the first DJ to physically lay his hands on the vinyl and manipulate it in a backward, forward or counterclockwise motion. He invented the Quick Mix Theory, which included techniques such as the double-back, back-door, back-spin, and phasing. Basically, what we call a DJ today is a role that Flash invented. The genius behind iconic party tunes like The Message, Superappin, Freedom and You Know What Time It Is, Flash is living legend in every sense of the title.

Erick Morillo (USA) All shows except Adelaide
There is very little, in the world of entertainment, that the talented Erick Morillo hasn't turned his hand to. He's a platinum selling artist and has topped the charts worldwide as the producer behind Reel 2 Reel's hit I Like To Move It. He has been responsible for a bewildering array of dance-floor tracks, under pseudonyms that include Minister De La Funk, The Dronez, RAW, Smooth Touch, RBM, Deep Soul, Club Ultimate and Li'l Mo Ying Yang amongst others. He's remixed everyone from Whitney Houston to Basement Jaxx, collaborated with the likes of Puff Daddy, Boy George and the Audio Bullys, and, to top it all of he, he runs the legendary Subliminal Records empire. Any way you cut it, Erick Morillo IS House.

Metronomy (UK) -  Summafieldayze, Gold Coast only
Metronomy began ten years ago in the tiny, bohemian market town of Totnes in Devon, when Joseph's Dad sold his son a computer so he could sit in his bedroom and make electronic music inspired by the likes of Autechre, LFO and Aphex Twin, more as a creative hobby than a pop masterplan. With their new album ‘The English Riviera' creating a real buzz across the dance world as tracks ‘The Look' and ‘The Bay' shine through, it has been made clear that a new indie/rock fan base have finally got their heads around this highly original outfit and have had continuous jaw dropping performances across the globe!

Markus Schulz (GER)
Over the last 10 years Markus Schulz has fused the individual musical identities of Progressive House and Trance into his own creative and now inimitable hybrid sound. Through the unique alignment of his headline DJ sets, Coldharbour label output and highly prominent Global DJ Broadcast radio show; he orchestrated a sea change revolution in the Trance scene. This success has been singularly reflected in weekly headliner sets in front of many tens of thousands, a GDJB listenership up in the tens of millions and one Beatport chart-topping release after another. Following several highly ranked positions, in 2008 Schulz punched his way into the Top 10 of DJ Magazine's Top 100 chart, landing at no.8, now, in 2011, he stands, quite unequivocally, as one of the planet's hottest and most revered DJs. Through his natural audience affinity, flawless (and seemingly effortless) mixing and innate tune selection, he has wowed crowds in pretty much every major district, principality and metropolis.

Sasha (UK)
Put simply, Sasha creates and plays music that gives emotion a chance to speak - and it's this universal appeal that has established his strong fanbase and iconic status around the globe. A revered veteran of the electronic music scene who continually and expertly reinvents his sound, sets and arsenal of cutting-edge DJ and production technologies, there are few DJs who can lay claim to his level of fame. From seminal compilations for Renaissance and Global Underground to epic tunes like Xpander and Wavy Gravy, and from albums like Airdrawndagger and Involver to his legendary paring with fellow doyen John Digweed, it's little wonder that the Sasha is a household name in every corner of the globe. Leaving trails of memories, melodies, smile and stories wherever he goes, he embodies the true essence of what it takes to be "the DJs DJ".

Tiga (CAN) All shows except Adelaide
The origins of Montreal born DJ-producer-incipient Teutonic legend Tiga lie to the vague and troubling East, where he was weaned on the nefarious milk of the notorious 1980s Indian club scene. So the story goes, anyway! Renowned for his party antics, electric vibe and eccentric persona, Tiga is an electro force to be reckoned with. The proud owner of the seminal imprint Turbo Recordings, this gifted musician and creative wunderkind is also the cheeky genius behind two massive albums ("Sexor" and "Ciao!") and a barrage of club hits that have taken the planet's dancefloors to hot and sweaty new heights - including "You Gonna' Want Me", "Pleasure From The Bass", "Beep Beep Beep" and "Sex O' Clock".
