More so than fellow French electronica acts Justice and Daft Punk, Yuksek seems more concerned with making the jump from DJ/producer to alternative dance-pop band front-man. One of the bigger dance drawcards at this year’s Splendour In The Grass, Yuksek has brought a live band (well, two other musicians) down-under to give us a taste of his adventurous dance-pop, and Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory received a surprisingly excellent performance as a result.

Tickets for this year’s PYRAMID ROCK FESTIVAL are flying out the door and as if you needed any more reason to stock up your campervan and head on down to Phillip Island this New Year’s season, we’ve got a whole new line-up of acts just added to the bill. Hold onto your hats, this might just blow you away…
