24 year old DJ Skrillex is one amazingly talented electronic music producer, having won 3 Grammys and being nominated for many more, he has helped put the dubstep genre on the map by slowly venturing into the mainstream music scene.

The 3 grammys won at the pre-telecast ceremony include Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical) for the song “Cinema (Skrillex Remix)”, Best Dance/Electronica Album for “Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites” and Best Dance Recording for the title track.  Skrillex was also nominated for Best New Artist and Best Short Form Video but lost out to Bon Iver & Adele.

The former From First to Last member accepted his awards claiming that he had made the song Cinema (Skrillex Remix) in his bedroom when he was living illegally in a warehouse in downtown LA.

Needless to say the producer isnt homeless anymore with reports he earns up to $100,000 per night to spin at nightclubs. He now ranks above successful headliners such as David Guetta and Deadmau5 and with Skrillex performing at Future Music Festival 2012,  get excited because this year is going to be bigger and better than ever this year!

As if Jessie J’s bombastic live show wasn’t awesome enough, Future Entertainment and Mellen Events are excited to announce today that UK underground Hip Hop phenomenon, Professor Green (pictured), has accepted the mic as support for Jessie J’s first ever Australian headline tour!

Breaking out of London’s underground Hip Hop scene back in 2006 at the tender age of 23, Professor Green (aka Stephen Paul Manderson) is a prodigious rapper whose got more than just the skills to pay the bills. In just five short years he’s won the inaugural JumpOff Myspace battle rap tournament, toured with megastars like Lily Allen and The Game, and dropped a debut LP (Alive Till I’m Dead, 2010) on mega-label Virgin Records that captivated Hip Hop fans around the globe. His acclaimed follow up is At Your Inconvenience.

Professor Green’s two albums to date reached number two and three respectively in the UK charts, and his most recent single Read All About It (feat. Emeli Sandé) was a smash hit in the UK, reaching the dizzying heights of Number one!

Joining Jessie J and Professor Green is sassy lady Ruby Rose who will warm up the crowds and get the party started. As a DJ Ruby Rose plays at the hottest clubs, parties and festivals around the world. She’s taken her signature mixes to renowned LA Club XIV, put it on wax with a compilation album with Grant Smillie that debuted at number ten on the ARIA charts. She also hosts number one-rating radio show ‘Party People’ and is currently working on her first solo album – phew! The girl is busy!

Skrillex, who was recently nominated for 5 Grammys, crowned by BBC as one of their Sounds of 2012 and anointed MTV’s EDM Artist of The Year, has decided to release his feverishly anticipated third release, the Bangarang EP on OWSLA/Big Beat/Atlantic/Neon Records.

Bangarang EP features collaborations with The Doors, Ellie Goulding, Wolfgang Gartner, 12th Planet, Kill The Noise, and Sirah and demonstrates considerable growth in terms of production style and diversity.

The release is digitally available on iTunes now and is available through all other physical retailers on the 27th of January. Skrillex will be in the country in March 2012 as part of the Future Music Festival where he will play alongside the likes of New Order, Swedish House Mafia, Fatboy Slim, The Wombats & Jessie J to name a few.

The Empty Cup have been announced as the supporting act for Sade – an Evening on the Green on Tuesday December 6.

The Empty Cup is a producer and emcee headed by vocalist Brian Kruger. Having performed with The Typhoons, supporting acts such as Lyrics Born and The Streets, and at festivals such as Parklife and Good Vibrations, he is a veteran of the Perth scene.

2010 brought the emergence of The Empty Cup as a solo entity, and over the past year, Brian has hosted the popular co-lab jam band night and other freestyle hip-hop events and collaborated with established artists from all ends of the local music spectrum.

The four piece produces a raw live feel of new-wave hip-hop while simultaneously drawing colour from classical, soul and rock influences. The Empty Cup’s Brian Kruger is an aficionado of free-form freestyling. This, set to a backdrop of vocal harmonies paired with a diversely influenced and genuinely expressive rhythm section makes for a vibrant array of melodically kaleidoscopic wholesomeness.

The Empty Cup will be playing at an Evening on the Green from 6:30pm.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the Perth show  for Erykah Badu, Fat Freddy’s Drop & Mayer Hawthorne on Saturday, Feb 25 has had to change venues. In looking for a new venue, we’ve taken on board the calls for a venue with a bigger dance area, and come to the decision that Belvoir Amphitheatre provides the perfect balance between dancing space at the front and seating on the steps. Anyone who was at last week’s Portishead show would no doubt agree!

Now with Mayer Hawthorn joining the bill in what has become a massive triple headline event – three major internationals will join forces for what already has to be one of the must-see shows of 2012!

How Do You Do? asks Mayer Hawthorne on his brand new album and in February 2012, he returns with his band The County to Australia to find out! No stranger to Australian shores, he’s been a mainstay since January 2010, spreading the sunshine vibes of LA whilst maintaining the spirit of his hometown Detroit (arguably the birthplace of Soul Music) and this February How Do You Do? comes Down Under to make for some very special arrangements.

Mayer Hawthorne, the crooner from Stones Throw records, has just made the jump to Universal Music for his second album entitled ‘How Do You Do?’ His debut LP ‘A Strange Arrangement’ lit a fire across the world for its faithful interpretation of classic genres like Soul, Blues, Country, Doo-Wop and Rock n Roll. Earlier in 2011 he released a free EP of covers including works originally by Chromeo (who have also remixed current single ‘A Long Time’), Isley Brothers, ELO and more.

Immediately familiar but with a fresh twist, Mayer Hawthorne and his gorgeous band The County light it up across Australia including joining Erykah Badu and Fat Freddy’s Drop in what is easily Summer’s greatest triple bill over in Perth!

Not long now till Jessie J hits Aussie shores as part of Future Music Festival 2012 this March, as well as performing her very own headline gig the next day. If you’re loving the kooky Brit just as much as we are, then check out this exclusive FREE DOWNLOAD of her performing an acoustic version of her hit single, Do It Like A Dude!

And for the diehard fans, Jessie J is bringing us more treats, with her exclusively re-issuing her debut album ‘Who You Are’ to include bonus tracks, live footage of her London performance, as well as lots of videos and personal photos that are sure to tie you over for the next few months until you can see her live! But it here now!

With one of the biggest line ups to hit Perth in a long time, Summadayze isnʼt pulling any artists – far from it – with the addition of Justice performing live a couple of weeks back Summadayze Perth has an even BIGGER line up than Summadayze in Melbourne.

And for less than one more week, you have the chance to lock in tickets for the biggest party of the summer at the awesome Early Bird rate of just $132 + bf, until Monday November 21.

On top of this weʼve got another massive round of acts bringing the party to Summadayze 2012! With their brand new album From Here To Anywhere recently released by Modular, welcome Sneaky Sound System! One of the hottest style icons and Australian upcoming DJ talents today, Ruby Rose joins Summadayze. With their live icon Timmy Trumpet in tow, Australiaʼs hottest DJ combination The Stafford Brothers will be bringing the house down. And last but not least, hometown heroes currently at the top of all the Australian dance charts, Bombs Away will return home to where it all started.
