From the calendar
Saturday August 25th marks the return of Adelaide’s favourite punk rock breakbeat superstar, DJ Hyper. Hyper has made the rock edged breakbeat sound his own over the last couple of years and as such has a massive list of underground club hits to his name, including his current single, the warped cover of Ant Music! This will be is fifth time in Adelaide, and as others who have been to his past shows know, he certainly can rock a room. On Saturday August 25th he will be joining the ABC and Mojo West crew for a night of breakbeat, punk, electro and dirty filthy house music. If you like your beats rough and ready then this is for you. Support from Lachy Pender, Spark, Dusk, Noodle, ATB and SADMA hall of famer Mr S. Tix are $15 on the door or $10 for members.

Bio
By helping to pioneer a style that has now become the dominant global club sound with the Y3K & Bedrock Breaks compilations at the tern of the millennium plus his own double mix comp Wired a few years and the addition of his own boutique club label Kilowatt Hyper has secured himself a place amongst the top musical players.
His confidence is transparent in everything he does and his most recent triumph was the release of his debut artist album WE CONTROL and the formation of his own band!
There is no stopping Hyper as 2007 will see the release of two club singles ‘No Rockstars, & ‘I’m Sick’ both taken from his forthcoming mix comp RE-WIRED. Worldwide touring will follow, and he’ll still have time to finish his second artist album! Punk, rock, electronica it all fits – the mans a star!
The debut artist album 'We Control' was released in spring 2006 and saw HYPER lunch successfully as a full LIVE BAND. The singles TWISTED EMOTION (including a Cagedbaby Remix), WE CONTROL (including a Future Funk Squad Mix) and the crowd rocking cover of ANT MUSIC, was a nod to the days of the Punk Rock revolution as it is to Cutting Edge Electronic Culture. With major taste maker support from the likes of Pete Tong (‘Very Fresh’) Annie Nightingale, Annie Mac and Fergie plus the sagely Steve Lamacq and XFMs Eddie Temple Morris. Even the world of big business have taken to Hypers sound most notably the use of We Control on the Peugeot 207 car campaign, trailers and films scores for Fox and tracks on computer games from EA and Sony Playstation.
Collaborators on the album include Hyper’s long time production partner Ronnie, Leeroy Thornhill (former Prodigy), Wildchild (LA rapper), US Breakbeat superstars The Crystal Method, Jim Davies (Pitchshifter/ The Prodigy), Dirty Harry (infamous UK rock chick and Tommy Lee collaborator), MC Xander and Keiron Pepper (The Prodigy), assured a sound that was very much Dance meets Rock.
2007 is set to be another progressive year for Hyper with the release and subsequent global touring of two new singles 'No Rockstars' & 'I’m Sick', both taken from his forthcoming compilation RE-WIRED. With only a few early copies leaked out No Rockstars has already gained support from key tastemakers including Digitalism, Adam Freeland and Eddie Temple Morris.
