List of DJs & electronic music bands
SiNfidelity
SiN- an act that breaches a moral, especially a religious law or teaching.
Fidelity- the similarity both physical and functional between the simulation and that which it simulates. Strict adherence to the accurate reproduction of sound from its input signal.
SiNfidelity is the collaboration of DJ, percussion, trumpet, sax, guitar and didge.(thus far) It is an open minded approach in which the narrow of mind need not apply.
The heart of SiNfidelity is DjSiN on the dex and keyz, Stephan (El Nino) on percussion and Mr T. on trumpet with guest appearances from time to time of other artists such as MrKeyz on sax, and JB on didge.
With SiN on the dex, the listener may journey from chilled global groove to vocal / funky / latino house to woteva else is kickin arse at the time. Add to this the improvisation of percussion and trumpet & “welcome 2 the melting pot”!!
Now with a solid foundation of talent and experience, SiNfidelity are now experimenting with their original music, a fusion of electro / latin and funk! Stay tuned4that1.

With the ability to play many genres of music this performer is one hard person to categorize. But his music will speaks for itself along with his cheekiness.
Then there's the super cool Disco Daz with his sexy, hip-grinding trumpet sounds that will melt anyone's dancing inhibitions. Disco Daz has been one of the most prominent musicians in the Brisbane scene, having performed with just about every big name group or band ever assembled in Brisbane. He has played with the likes of the Resin dogs, The Rooftops, Dub Doubt, Breaks and Enter and is currently touring overseas to spread his holy gospel of brass music.
Adding to this formula is the hot resonance of Stephane Elmosnino A.K.A The El Nino effect. Just like his namesake, this handsome New Caledonian native will turn up the temperature with his sizzling percussions and drum beats. His alluring and almost hypnotic beat patterns will leave you breathless and wet with perspiration.
