//DOM DIAZ
Dom Diaz is an explosive wave of upbeat Reggae and Latin rhythms, doused in thick Funk syrup that’s sole purpose is to make you move and be moved. His performance style and infectious vibe engages the audience to kindle their inner animal, forget their inhibitions and completely let go. Concerned only with providing a musical journey for everyone, Dom Diaz has navigated to a specific progressive sound - a potent hybrid of psychedelia, deep dub and feel good Hip-Hop. It’s a sound that urges to be heard live with elements of electronica and organic roots to induce you into a trance and fuel your inner creative fire. Trumpet in hand Dom Diaz and his multi instrumental compadres will command space and time and bring unlimited energy to the stage.
//BILLSBRY
Billsbry is the musical alias of Charlie Fisher, a Sydney based musician. Billsbry's sound can best be described as a blend of psychedelic ambient blues using a loop pedal to build his original songs through layering.
//DJ JUZZLIKEDAT

Witnessing the evolution of Hip Hop, his passion for Funk and Jazz inspired him to travel through the many era’s of black music from the late 60's to more recent digital sounds. Today Juzzlikedat sells records from his Funky hair salon in Surry Hills ‘Le Garage’, trying to cover the different eras of the Soul Jazz Funk and Hip Hop but also the Afrobeat and Brazilian sounds from the 70's and 80's. As a DJ and member of the Groove Dealers collective, he has been spinning records in Sydney for over 10 years and played at mad parties and festivals like ‘Playground Weekender’ and ‘Peats Ridge Festival’ further featuring for Mama Feel Good Funk Collective, Soul of Sydney, Syd Def Jam and Funkdafied events. During this time he has supported international artists such as Roy Ayers, Omar, Sarah Love, John Morales, Nickodemus, Doris, Oddisee and Dj Krush to name a few.
