Steve Ward:
Steve Ward is an Australian born DJ, producer, label owner, journalist and radio host who has been considered one of the nation’s most respected figures since the late 90's.

Over many years, the Ward sound has evolved into a truly unmistakable blend of tough house grooves coupled with the power of techno and the euphoria of Detroit, a perfect package which has been proven to work on dance floors from New York to Tokyo, Amsterdam to Ibiza.

Throughout his colourful career Steve has had the rare chance to write music with a high caliber of A-list artists the likes of:: Carl Cox, Nile Rodgers, Oliver Lieb, Secret Cinema & Alexander Kowalski to name a few and has had the opportunity to perform at some of the most innovative dance events around the globe, all whilst hosting one of Australia’s most successful weekly radio shows (now syndicated through every continent around the world).

In recent years, Steve had the honour of remaking the classic acid house track "Phuture - We Are Phuture" along side Carl Cox and Dj Pierre not to mention his remix of Chicago legend Paul Johnson's track "She Got Me On" which both hit critical acclaim. Also, his remake of the classic techno tunes "DevilFish – Manalive" and "Andrew Mclaughlin - Love Story", both were released alongside the relaunch of the classic UK techno label "Bush Records" and hit the Beatport top 10. These days Steve's list of high profile remix work continues for household name like "Christian Smith", "Dosem", Funk D'void and many more.

In 2008, Steve launched his own record label Chameleon Recording with the labels debut EP "The Window Between Us and Them". This release turned into an instant classic, championed by some of the biggest names around the world, so much so, it was licensed to the Global Underground Lithuania compilation as the closing tune. From that, Chameleon has gone from strength to strength signing some of the most forward thinking producers around the globe, partnering with several festivals to hold label stages and featuring label showcase events around the globe.

From a performance perspective, Steve's live shows are nothing short of electric! Utilising his complete control over cutting edge technology fused with his passion for traditional instruments, live keys and vocals, a performance he has cultivated over the past 15 years.

2015 is looking bigger than ever with a huge amount of music forthcoming from Steve under his Cartesian Spheres and solo projects alongside his several nightclub brands, music academy, column in Dj Mag and his weekly radio show broadcast around the world.

Jamie Stevens:
Founding member of celebrated, Australian award-winning live electronica act Infusion, Jamie Stevens has slowly been building his own profile through releases on Bedrock, microCastle, Chameleon and Tulipa.

Recently, Jamie's collaboration with John Digweed and Nick Muir on Bedrock resulted in an epic techno production for the "VS" album whilst his glorious "The Wonder of You" EP on microCastle caused a massive stir hitting number 11 in Beatport's Top 20 release chart and number 1 in their tech house chart. Guy J even went to declare "The Wonder of You" as "one of the best pieces of music ever made".

The instantly recognisable remixes created for the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Booka Shade, Cid Inc and Secret Cinema, amongst a host of others, have been no stranger to praise and support from the biggest names in the industry like Adam Beyer, Sasha, Laurent Garnier and Nick Warren.

Helping out with production mate Steve Ward's Chameleon Records label is another outlet his creativity and has seen the label become a solid brand delivering forward thinking techno, electronica and house. Jamie spent a lot of 2014 travelling throughout Europe collaborating in studios and playing shows in Cologne, Amsterdam and Tel Aviv. With an upcoming EP released on microCastle with a massive remix by Guy J plus a large remix completed for Guy J's Lost & Found label, it's safe to say that Jamie is just getting warmed up.
