Hey! Hey! Every Saturday night @ Empire brings together Brisbane best established and up and coming DJs for a mashed up night of sneaky bastard beats with a tiny twist of electro, house, hip hop, breaks, pop and rock - all supported by the coolest cats in the business !!

Super Mal was formed in 2006 by DJ/Producers and all round dance music fanatics Lyndon Coyne and James Crompton. The main influences in their work come from 80's groups like The Cure, Talking Heads, The Human League & Blondie. French House & Electronica acts also play a big part such as Daft Punk, Justice, Lifelike, Surkin & Fred Falke. Hip Hop, Old Skool, Electro & Break-dance complete the mash up of sounds and dynamics that make up the music of Super Mal. Their artist name was inspired by the French cult film La Haine, referencing the expression “super cool”, but with a twist.

DJ and Radio Support for Super Mal has come from across the board with the likes of Pete Tong, Trophy Twins, Steve Smart, Andi Durrant, Annie Mac, Huggy, Judge Jules, Groove Armada & Bob Sinclar all spinning their tunes. Described in DJ Magazine, “Super Mal sounds like the early street sounds electro – soul and funk inspired but done with synthesizers. Coming back 20 odd years later, with the production values to make them sound really tight!”

The first release on Bandito Records was “Bigger Bigger”, a cool slice of Electro pop snapped up by the Eye Industries/Universal label and given the major label treatment. It was released with a trashy punk vocal from 'Luciana'. The record was a big UK top 20 hit, helped with a video filmed by Mike Baldwin (Red Rabbit productions) in down-town Los Angeles. Their music has appeared on over 2 million dance compilation albums worldwide and their music videos have been viewed over 500,000 times on You Tube.

Super Mal have been signed up internationally with releases in Japan, America, Italy, Brazil, Sweden and are signed to the Ministry of Sound label in Australia. Their DJ portfolio spreads far and wide including yearly slots at the Glastonbury festival, The Ministry of Sound Club UK, Renaissance, and their by-monthly residency continues at Mephisto Club on London's Famous Edgeware Road.

Super Mal have been busy in the studio, working on new material which will make their first album with a release due in Autumn 2008. The next single to be released is titled “Light Years” and already boasts remixes from genius Parisian producer Lifelike & the up and coming Italian producer Phonat. They have produced a track titled “Famous” for Luciana which was released on her album via Island Records in March 2008 (album titled “Featuring Luciana”). The track has a unique sound with hot punky vocals and Super Mal twist up the electro vibes on the track!

Loads more will follow this year with new productions, new remixes and new collaborations so stay tuned!

Baby Gee was Born and raised on the island of Fiji before moving to Australia, this charismatic boy was soon drawn to the city vibe and hasn’t looked back since. Baby Gee has emerged as a leader in the new breed of Australian Djs - hell bent on having the best possible time trailblazing any decks and a mixer that gets in the way.

This boy built a reputation that has quickly grown in the past 4 years culminating in been awarded People’s Choice ‘Best DJ’ for Queensland at the Dance Music Awards and taking out the number one spot in Queensland for the Technics ITM Top50 djs. Baby Gee currently manifests the continuing mayhem at Brisbane's two draw card clubs Monastery & Family, with a diverse music style that morphs to suite the ever changing scenarios of the two premier party spots. At Family the number 1 club in Australia, you can see his diversity of styles from progressive, hard to German trance and his trademark high energy performances. His residency at Brisbane’s leading house club, Monastery sees him playing jumped up funky house through to punk and electro. With a mashup of all things funky and driving, his special six hour supersets are an experience not to miss.

His numerous styles have led him to showcase his skills at the countries top touring festivals such as Two Tribes, SummaFieldDayze, Adven’jah, Gatecrasher and Slinky.

When you can claim to have played alongside the likes of Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Groove Armada, Carl Cox, Judge Jules, Tall Paul, Fergie, Cosmic Gate, Crystal Method, Christopher Lawrence, Dumonde, Reeloop, Ingo, Baby Doc, John ‘00’ Flemming, Matt Darey, Scot Project, Steve Murano and being squeezed back to back with Lisa Lashes as well as Public Domain and Ultrasonic, it’s easy to understand why success follows Baby Gee readily. On the national front he has played with the best, namely Mark Dynamix, Pee Wee Ferris, Bexta, Nik Fish, Paul Holden, Jumpin Jack, John Ferris, Yoshi, Jason Midro, Archie, Amber Savage and KCB.

His inspiration is tributed to the late Tony De Vit as well as producers and musical geniuses such as Mauro Picotto, Nick Sentience, Scot Project, Ferry Corsten and Tiesto. Like his mentors, youth and ambition is definitely on Baby Gee’s side. His first release Super Sound, was a collaboration with Yoshi and he is currently working on his own material. Baby Gee continually remixes his new tracks so always expect his dj sets to be totally unique.
So where’s the future for Baby Gee?
Ultimately touring Australia and eventually the world.

“There isn’t a better job in the world where you can play music to all different people and know that that feeling they’re receiving is all because of you and the music. It’s kind of special.”

So live it up with Supermal & Baby Gee on September 6th!
