Mark Pledger (Anjunabeats/UK)
“Anjuna superstar Mark Pledger has emerged as a globe trotting star spreading the trance gospel to the far flung corners of the world!”
(Gallery, London UK)

Mark Pledger has been both critically acclaimed both as solo DJ and record producer. With 9 DJ mag 5 star reviews and an IDMA nomination for best DJ compilation, he continues to establish him self as one of the most consistant trance atists of the decade. Marks DJ sets and music have featured the world over including dates with Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, The Gallery and Anjunabeats Worldwide tours. Now with a raft of new tracks and DJ dates in the coming months, 2008 is hotting up for this talentled UK artist.

Releasing with “UK’s number 1” trance label Anjunabeats and as one half of the late Smith & Pledger, Marks tracks have been heavily supported by DJs such as Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto, PVD, Judge Jules & Dave Pearce and Above & Beyond. His productions have received airplay on BBC Radio 1, Kiss, Galaxy FM and throughout the various internet radio networks.

With this constant attention and exposure he has become a ‘name’ in his own right, building a strong fanbase. Mark also finds the time to host his Anjunabeats Worldwide radio show and submits a top 5 for M8 magazine each month.

Nik Fish (SYD)
Sublime resident Nik Fish is arguably Australia’s most well-known and popular DJ. Nik has received many awards for being a DJ as well a prestigious A.R.I.A award nomination in the mid-nineties for his own track, titled, ‘The Winner Is….’ Nik has also been commissioned by record companies such as Ministry Of Sound, Central Station Records, Sony, Volition and Venom Musik, releasing over 20 mix albums and several singles as well as remixes. His live DJ sets are intensely energetic and animated as he is the ultimate showman hyping the dance floor. Nik has supported the who’s who of the Global dance scene with far too many names to mention here. Internationally, Nik is known in Europe and Asia having played there several times including his most recent DJ set @ The Berlin Love Parade street party (the largest Dance Music event in the world), which saw him perform to over 1.5 million people on a moving float. In 2008 Nik is working on several musical projects with releases slated throughout the year, along with extensive touring around Oz, another possible trip to Europe and anything else he can manage to squeeze out of 365 days!
