Kid Kenobi (Ministry of Sound, Australias Number 1 DJ)
There’s no disputing the transient nature of the DJ: many hopefuls come and go, but few actually remain. You could attribute this to one of many vague criticisms of the dance scene, but the truth is DJs who quickly and quietly sink into obscurity just don’t have what it takes. When the lights go on, the job isn’t all guestlists and groupies and not many people love the job that much to persevere. Jesse Desenberg does. It’s been a decade now since he began DJing as Kid Kenobi and during this time his contributions to the Australian dance scene can be matched by few of his peers. A quick look at his rap sheet shows he was voted Number 1 DJ in the Technics InTheMix Top 50 three years in a row; he’s chalked up so many mix CDs for Ministry of Sound Australia they made a special sessions series for him; he’s even got a Dance Music Award under his belt for his remix of Green Velvet’s “La La Land”.
Mc Shureshock
You know when MC Shureshock is in the house. With total command over the Mic, it's nothing for him to get a room full of people hanging on his every word. Unflappable as an MC, he always knows exactly what to say.
A professional MC since 1990, Shureshock aka Cameron James Brown has MCed to practically any genre of music you care to mention. He's rocked hardcore scenes, drum n bass nights, hip hop jams, house parties, live bands and so much more. Nowadays, however, it's breakbeat that's getting the Shureshock touch. Part of a formidable team with Australia's #1 DJ, Kid Kenobi, it is impossible to pinpoint exactly what it is about Shureshock that's so pleasing to the ear. Perhaps it's his ability to flit from genre to genre so seamlessly. Perhaps it's the experience he's accrued as both an MC and as a writer. Whatever it is, Shureshock's style has won him not only thousands of fans but a worldwide first. Shureshock is the only MC to appear on a Ministry of Sound compilation - ever! MCing alongside Kid Kenobi on the Clubber's Guide to Breaks the pair are as dynamic on disc as they are on the dancefloor, bringing the standard of mix compilations to a whole other level.
