Yes YOLANDA BE COOL have had a world wide number one but they also have a growing list of beatport hits, made only for the club. They are as comfortable in Morocco, as a guest of the king, performing before 90,000 people, as they are in a Berlin basement performing for 90.

For them, in music and in life, it's the differences that make the difference, whether it be a 1950's Italian folk song, juxtaposed with a fruity techno beat (go on, you know the one), or dinner in Monaco one day, Berghain the next, Johnson and Sylvester have had a pretty good couple of years touring the world. They have been to places they can't pronounce, and places they never dreamt they would, they have their own boat party at WMC which is on the "not to be missed list," but along the way, they came up with the concept for their debut album, "Ladies and Mentalmen."

With over a decade of Djing under their belts, and musical influences that extend far beyond their native Sydney, from old school hip hop, to Chicago house, to techno to pretty much everything in between. Bondi beach locals at heart, tho they have spent more time living in Berlin and Ibiza these past years, when they are not in the studio or playing at the biggest clubs and festivals in the world, you'll find them at the beach catching waves.

Who know's what could be in store next for these mentalmen? Since we've got the performing for us this Friday at CANT SAY Melbourne we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to grab their 'TOP FIVES' in music.

Let's do it.
