ACTS + STAGES

Red Bull Hangar
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Red Bull Blue& Silver (Product of Europe) is reminding you of their massive brand presence in Malaysia with the Red Bull Hangar stage . Just as they are internationally , this stage is DJ/producer-based , focusing both on the art of DJing and playing electronic music live.

Stafford Brothers [AU]

Another FMFA returnee, Stafford Brothers killed it last year. The house music DJ and production duo of Matt Stafford and Chris Stafford based on the Gold Coast, Australia. They are the first Australian DJs to get their own reality TV show on a major network.  staffordbrothers.bandpage.com

Timmy Trumpet [AU]
It seems like the Stafford Brothers and Timmy come together. Returning to FMFA13 too, Timmy’s brand of EDM mixed with live trumpet playing is more than just a novelty. This guy gave us goosebumps last year. www.timmytrumpet.com

Tenzin [AU]
Sydney DJ Tenzin seamlessly blend everything from house & electro to grinding glitch-tech and party disco hop. This cat ain’t just a renowned DJ back home, he’s also the music director for all Australian Fashion Week shows. www.djtenzin.com

DJ Fuzz [MY]
DJ Fuzz is known far and wide for his speaker-cracking club sets, mixtapes and radio mixshows. Malaysia’s finest DJ. Possibly local hip hop’s most renowned turntablist, DJ Fuzz is also the friendliest dude in the game. Skilled enough on the decks to write a book on it, Fuzz has gone from producing hip hop to playing talent seeker in the pop world. www.djfuzz.blogspot.com

Deer Society [MY]
KL’s trendiest DJ collective Deer Society seems to be festival-ready these days, after playing at Rockaway, the trio is set to bring their weekly night to FMFA13.  www.deersociety.com

Ladytron (DJ set) [UK]
English electronic band Ladytron is doing something you are not quite expecting at FMFA13. Eschewing the expected synthesisers and guitars, the band instead chose a DJ set. Our curiosity is piqued.  www.ladytron.com

DJ Bento [JP]
A frequenter of Malaysia, Bento has been the go-to DJ for brands ranging from Armani Exchange, Ed Hardy Japan, to Puma. Having pioneered Asia’s premiere open format night, Diamonds, he has travelled all around the world with his mix of hip hop, house, electro, and rock. clubdiamonds.asia

Mr. Fluff (DJ) [MY]
Multi-hyphenate Bo, in the EDM world Mr. Fluff, can go from singer-songwriter, band frontman, to what he is most known for now, a DJ. Is there anything this guy can’t master? We doubt it. www.facebook.com/mrfluffmusic
