Legends of dance. Titans of techno. Men of reputation and talent. This could only be the kings and queens of hyperbolic dance, doing a boat party, calling it HYPER DANCE. This is the combined power of Turbo Recordings, known globally as the label of pop sensation and vogue icon TIGA, and his brother, the equally good looking and just as talented THOMAS VON PARTY, with Australian long-time-good-time party boyz MOTORIK and LOOSE CHANGE. This is where we board a ship, hit the rave button, and dance to infinity. This is our time to crack open a carton of good feelings and greater vibes, and celebrate the power of HYPER DANCE.

But who are these international men of bass power? Turbo, the home of Azari & III, Proxy, Gesaffelstein, Chromeo, ZZT, Zombie Nation, buiilt by Tiga and driven by Von Party. Motorik, the home of The Finger Prince, Jensen Interceptor, Wordlife and CSMNT61: the rave shamen megamart, for all your mystical dancing needs. Loose Change, the home of MAXIMUM PARTY, and the young bucks of our buckled trinity of party-harder rave marathoners.
Who better to take you on a boat? With such pedigree in the field of getting wild, these are the only horses to bet on in the annual Mardi Gras Cup.

THOMAS VON PARTY / TURBO RECORDINGS - MONTREAL, CANADA, THE WORLD
Thomas Von Party was born Thomas Vaughn Partyson in Montreal, Quebec. His connection to DJ culture and chillosophy stems from his family background. His father was the first white man to play Tuxedomoon records in Goa. His older brother, Tiga, went on to become the famous DJ/musician Tiga. TVP joined Tiga's label Turbo as head of A&R in 2006. Since then, he has been responsible for putting together Turbo's much-lauded remix packages, curating the Turbo podcast and signing such artists as Popof, Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, Azari and III, and the real Cinderella Man of the bunch, PROXY. As a DJ, TVP is able to go hard, go house and go to your home to play a Goa-themed anniversary set for your former wife and her new husband. Festivals, after-hours parties, infra-hours parties - he does it all with the flair of a chameleon with particularly eclectic taste in contemporary dance music.

THE FINGER PRINCE / TURBO RECORDINGS / MOTORIK - SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Two men, loads of gear, no idea. Formerly, in former lives, known as Gus Da Hoodrat and Frank (from Infusion). Now, in present lives, just Angus Gruzman and Franklin Furter. Legends in the field of innovative dance sensationalism, techno, techyes, muntno, and hellyes. When not in their studio pumping out classics like Mao (Motorik) and Trident (Bang Gang), they're remixing for Turbo alongside brothermen Jensen Interceptor and Light Year, and occasionally uniting with the very same to become AUSTRALIA, getting released on TWIN TURBO and MOTORIK. They're experts in the field of dimensioneering, journeymen of party and your favourite deejays on earth, ever.

JENSEN x CSMNT69 / MOTORIK - THE FLINDERS, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, GLOBALLY YOURS
Brothers in arms and brothers in jaw-clenchingly good techno. These three dudes have been in many good bands, many better dj duos, and now, finally, are linking up to release a forthcoming collab EP on MOTORIK. Their respective records have been thrashed by men of the moment like Gesaffelstein, Brodinski, Sinden and billions of other guys and girls you know and love. It's real, baby. It's a Greek/Mexican fusion. Get your tastebuds tingling. GET IT.

VIVI x LINDA MARIGLIANO / MTK SLASH TRIPLE J, RULING THESE STREETS
Classic hits. Party times. That's what could probably happen when these two play records together. You might know them from, respectively, hosting evenings on Triple J (Linda) or running rad record labels (Vivi). Together, they forecast thunder, lightning, the way you'll love it is frightening, you'd better knock on wood. Etc.
