I Hate ModelsI Hate Models - DJ, Producer and owner of the Label Disco Inferno
In a scene choked by formulae, we need voices that cut through the noise to present something unapologetically true and devoutly non-conformist. In his singular path as an artist, I Hate Models swerves standardised structures and instead focuses on emotional response. The energy of club music serves as a vessel for his own feelings and a tool to manipulate others with. The spectrum of moods expressed – in his productions, DJ sets and on his label Disco Inferno – veers from nostalgia and passion to loneliness, melancholia and brutality, often juxtaposing darkness and light in the same pulse as an authentic conduit of his own artistic self-assessment. On his journey thus far, IHM has released music on labels ranging from Arts to Perc Trax, who carried his 2019 album L’Âge Des Métamorphoses. He’s also remixed Depeche Mode. At every turn, his disregard for expectations and conventions has resulted in dynamic, ambitious music that feasts on the flesh of techno, industrial and trance without ever becoming beholden to one source. Within the microcosm of one track, the energy can shift from bruising rhythm to swooning ambience and back again – cascades of pearlescent melody giving way to shards of sheet metal, thunderous percussion offset by softly sculpted sine waves. That the further adventures of I Hate Models feel entirely open-ended is completely by design – generic constriction is the enemy of genuine catharsis. -

Partiboi69Spiritual leader, Icon, Prophet – that's for others to say. Partiboi69's only objective is to spread digital love and deliver lethal 69 techniques live and direct to your senses.
Described on the Internet as “symbol of mutual love and mystery of the Australian underground,” Partiboi69 is as advertised, without compromise.
CEO of Unprotected Records and Stingboi Productions, Partiboi69 fuses cutting edge, computer-animated graphics with the sounds of Electro Dank, Ghetto Freak and K-Tech, to create a portal into his complex mind; A place where comfort and style are paramount, no stimulant is safe, and enjoyment is always mutual. The most explicit samplings of this are “Dip On The Dancefloor”, “Magnificent” and “Always Keep It 69”, as well as his technologically-advanced live mix broadcasts, as visually pleasurable as they are aurally – much like 69ing. Three million viewers have already converted; Will you be next?
Partiboi69 ends the year with a self-released white label debut on Unprotected Records, the spiritual home of R-rated ravers who celebrate pleasurable equality. Having sold out in 24 hours, more contraband will soon follow. With tickets for his second International tour of 2019 evaporating like vape fumes, Partiboi69 slides into 2020 with an unwavering message of pleasure in equal measure: Always Keep It 69. -
