2008 was a huge year for the man we know as tyDi.

As a DJ, the 21 year-old was voted #1 in Australia, and spent the year touring in support of dance heavyweights Tiesto, Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk.

Soon to release their debut album, Sydney quartet Mercy Arms are on e of rock's most captivating young bands.

They've drawn comparison to the classic pop of The Smiths and the noise-guitar mastery of My Bloody Valentine, emerging as possible next of kin to their antipodean forefathers The Triffids and The Go-Betweens. But it's a fresh sound too. Unforgettable choruses and shimmering noise, crowned by the poetic voice of singer / writer Thom Moore. Orchestral, original, rwa and free of gimmicks, their music has nothing to do with fads or fashion.

Undoubtedly, Namito belongs to the very designers of the Berlin techno scene. Since 1992, due to his distinctive sets, he is constantly booked by all major clubs in town, be it the legendary "E-Werk" or "Tresor", where he raved the crowd as a resident for years. In 1996, Namito’s first releases caught the attraction of European clubs such as Londons Turnmills and the Brancaleone in Rome.
