In an industry filled with greed and vanity, it is rare to see a DJ that is so intact.

Danny Fry first connected with house music in the early 1990s while living in South America. The sound was classic deep and funky house which laid the foundation for his signature style. Since that time, he has gone on to travel the globe gathering an abundance of experience both on and off the decks which has only served to fuel his passion for music and life.
Jonah Elliott, aka Short Fiction, has built a reputation for having a very tasteful, eclectic and versatile angle on blending funky ass heavy bass infused beats and breaks. As such he has played shows with the likes of: The Dub Pistols' Barry Ashworth, Fort Knox Five's Jon H, Steve Porter, Lee Coombs, Krafty Kuts, DJ Shadow, Mat The Alien, Phil K, Claude Von Stroke, Keith McKenzie, LTJ Bukem, Czech, Myagi and many other talented global electronic artists.
Myagi is one of the world's more accomplished party rockers, expertly blending a mix of party breaks, electro, techno and mash-up — then letting it loose on the dance floor. He is one of Canada's most recognized DJs, both at home and abroad, with his music garnering support from the likes of Fatboy Slim, Annie Nightingale, Utah Saints, Dub Pistols and Pete Tong.
Lewis Anthony is a mainstay as far as DJs go in Korea.
He's been producing on and off for the last eight years, but it's only within the last year that he's been pushing stuff out to labels. "I spent a lot of time trying to distinguish what it was I wanted to create music wise. I didn't want to rush into it. I wanted to thoroughly explore the whole spectrum of electronic music," Anthony said.

One really needs a personal assistant to coordinate their weekends when it comes to partying on the peninsula. The scene, like the country itself, has risen from obscurity to become one of the most pulsating and tantalizing destinations in the world. Electronic dance music (EDM) is played everywhere, but there are only a few clubs and promoters that spend their cover charges and sponsorship to finance international talent.
As summer falls upon us with its unbearable humidity levels and torrential downpours, clubbers from across the peninsula will be heading out of country for a much needed reprieve from the sauna we call Seoul.
Where was your first professional gig?
It all started in Larne, Northern Ireland. I left school at 13 and pestered the local promoter to give me a job at the club sweeping the floor, cleaning the toilets, and clearing the tables, but I didn't care because he let me play on the decks. Eventually, I got to do a warm-up set, but my first actual professional gig, the first one that I actually got paid for, was at Airport 2000 in Antrim, which at the time was one of the biggest clubs in Northern Ireland. I remember finding it hard to put the needle on the record as my hands were shaking so much. I thought I had it made.
