New Years Day 2011 saw the well suited Salt on the Beach venue transform itself into an Ibiza feel summer house haven. Sebastien Leger and Digitalism headlined the event with strong support from local acts spread among two stages.

Miles Dyson is one of those rare talents that comes along and shows the world exactly how it is done. He’s playing Villa this Saturday night (event info here, tickets here). Starting from a very early age, he was always destined for massive things. Securing his first club residency at the age of 15, performing to a 400,000 strong crowd in the famous Zurich St parade at the age of 16, it was clear very early in the piece that he had a passion for music and was on a mission to do big things with it. In 1999 he went on to win the European DJ Championships and from then on it has been a steep climb to the upper echalons of dance music success and superstardom.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to post this! I’m very behind, maybe because it doesn’t have an electronic music focus. It’s been in Perth a few times before and all I’ve heard has been great things. Although I don’t have an official press release, I can tell you the focus is genuinely on alternative music, and artists who are pushing boundaries in their fields, who are still able to be crowd pleasers, like The XX, Mumford and Sons, N.A.S.A., Florence and The Machine, Radioclit and The Middle East. If you want the full lineup it’s after the jump.
I’ve been meaning to do this interview since November 2009, so now that I’ve finally become organised it’s here. You may have seen Daniel Njegich at clubs shooting photos, you may have seen some of his phenomenal work for Pigeon hole or you may have visited his site and seen all that and more. Read the full interview after the jump, and make sure you check out the site.
What got you into photography?
It was quite random, I borrowed my dads school camera, and took it down to take some photos at my cricket match, I got really
Summadayze was ridiculously hot, I know this review is meant to be about the music, but damn it, the heat was a major player that day and it deserves a mention. So to the sun; you fuckin’ shone man, you shone all fuckin’ day long, not even a cloud could get in your way, the dudes with water hoses had no chance.
Stand out for the day for myself was hands down James Murphy and Pat Mahoney, they bought the Disco heat when everyone thought it couldn’t get any hotter. It was great to see a solid crew hang around for the duo’s set which fortunately didn’t just stick
