Universe would like to announce the postponement of Johannes Heil’s eagerly anticipated 2007 Australian tour. Due to endless delays in his production schedule Johannes has been forced to cancel numerous commitments in order to complete his forthcoming album. To his disappointed fans in Australia Johannes sends his deepest apologies and a promise to return to our shores within the year.

However, Universe is more than pleased to announce the addition of not one, but two exciting additions to the Universe @ Kryal Castle lineup. Serving as more than able replacements for Heil, first up is Jamie Bissmire- perhaps better known as one half of slamming techno super duo The Space DJz who over the years have become firm Melbourne favourites.

With a sound that seamlessly combines the darkness & power of acid, the symphony of trance and divine rhythm of techno, A*S*Y*S is without question one of Pharmacy’s perennial favourites and a global ambassador for 303 fuelled hardstyle terror! Frank Ellrich is the tormented genius behind such twisted dance floor anthems as Acid Nightmare and the classic reworking of The Prodigy’s Voodoo People- No More Fucking Rock&Roll! A*S*Y*S has also tightened his grip on global hardstyle domination with his recent project Future Tribes which has seen him perform in front of 40,000 screaming punters at Amsterdam arena’s Q-DANCE as well as producing our very own the Theme From Pharmacy together with Derb. One, two, A*S*Y*S is coming for you!

Bryan Zentz is no stranger to techno. His signature melodic techno monsters have swept the world over and landed him regular appearances on Carl Cox’s “Intec” imprint. With well over 50 records on labels from Primate to Jericho to Intec, Bryan Zentz performs the world over, spreading his infectious grooves, and more tech-house styles. The only way to describe his music is that it sits somewhere between old school trancey techno and acid house.
Awesome stuff...
The Acid Scout returns to right where he began. Picking up his very first unsigned Kurbel releases (remember Style Wars, Ghettoblaster, and Saug 27?), he takes us onto a journey into deep space and instantly delivers the suitable soundtracks. Exploring sound molecules in a grooving asteroid field, discovering sexy robotic lifeforms on strange yet sexy new worlds, he leads us into a sparkling bright future. It's science fiction for a sci-fi generation, it's dense, it's funky, it's a soulful beat spaceship. His live sets are legendary, and when he played at the not less legendary Cocoon Club at Amnesia / Ibiza, there was no doubt that this 'Clash of Legends' would be recorded and released on the Live Album 'Live at Cocoon Club'. On this record, Richard shows his skills as a Live Act and the enthusiastic reactions of the audience are the proof that they are extraordinary.
Pascal Feliz- our man from Amsterdam! Perhaps best known as one half of the infamous ‘Walt & Feliz’ project, this silent achiever has released some of the biggest hard trance classics of our time including ‘Expansion’ & ‘Endless’. Alongside the likes of Marcel Woods and Walt, this unsung master of the hard trance and tech trance fusion sound is part of an elite group of DJs and producers that are currently setting the pace globally!

Tara Reynolds is one of only a handful of international female hard house DJs. Her ability to combine filthy turbo-charged basslines with uplifting hi-energy melodies have earmarked her as one of the few DJs who’s been able to break out of the tough London scene to command headline sets across the UK and abroad. With classic shifts at Creamfields to Tidy Weekenders, she has travelled the world over and is back in Australia for good!

There are few Djz and producers in the modern techno world who can truly claim to have pioneered a style and sound, and call it their own. Such statements are often declared, but rarely justified. In the case of Ben Long and Jamie Bissmire, the names behind the revered Space DJz this claim would be unarguable. Ever since the pair’s formation in the early 1900’s their unerring ability to fuse raucous techno with their life long love of Hip Hop , has set them aside from there peers. In the present day , an abundance of UK techno producer’s have emerged, none would deny The Space Djz are true innovators. During this time, and indeed long before, The Space Djz have been renowned the world over for their breathtaking skillz behind the deckz. Whether working as a team or individually , Ben and Jamie consistently deliver astounding performances Djing to them is an art, and with over ten years on the world Dj circuit they have the knowledge and experience to rock any party right...
One half of renowned Italian power duo NU NRG, Giuseppe is making waves for sure on a global level. His uplifting trance classics are securing him a bright future, as he continues to produce for Paul van Dyk’s VANDIT label.

Giuseppe is on the rise and ready take you higher.

DJ Session One aka Blutonium Boy began in 1988 and he’s come along way in the last 18 years with his Blutonium Records label still going from strength to strength.

With much chart success in Europe and Germany, his singles and albums and compilations sell by the truckload and he’s a regular feature for Ministry Of Sound in Australia.

After an awesome performance at Sunshine People Jan 2006, Zombie Nation returns for what will be another cracker of a live set. From his on-stage Zombie outfit antics to deep pulsating electro, neo-punk techno and his more industrial John Starlight harder-faster sounds, Zombie will cause a frenzy showcasing his monster classics Kernkraft and his latest offering, his killer electro album “Black Toys”. A wicked live show, a quality producer, an awesome new album. Sickness to the maximum.
