DJ S3RL – New Energy Collective / UK Hardcore, Jcore (Australia)
We are pleased to be bringing him to Chicago for the 1st time! To many in the anime and rave scene S3RL doesn’t need much of an introduction, for those who haven’t heard of him, his most recent signature mix “S3RL Presently Presents” is a pretty good place to get started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI1KY4kPpok
S3RL has been making music since 2000, starting off making music on the PS1 with “Music 2000”, looking up to the likes of Scott Brown, Breeze, Styles, Dougal, Gammer, Sharkey, Kevin Energy, Hixxy and more. S3RL’s hard work would eventually persist when in 2005 Kevin Energy and Sharkey came for a tour down under, S3RL sent them a demo CD and was quickly signed up to New Energy Collective thanks to his track “Transformers”, the first DJ from Queensland to get signed to a major international hardcore label. Signing up to an international label only lead to bigger and better things for S3RL, which saw him tour not only all around Australia but also all over the world, culture and even language isn’t necessarily a boundary to enjoy S3RL’s music. S3RL’s growth in recent years has not only just been from the rave scene but from many fans of anime, gaming and pop culture with S3RL writing many tracks about, cosplaying, video games, cats, memes and more. “I love the fact I’ve got a lot of fans in the anime scene, it’s actually made me lean towards making more game and toon (both western and anime) tracks.”

He won the New England DJ Spin-Off in 1997 and placed 2nd two years in a row at the WMC DJ Battles. In 2000, he signed with the legendary Chicago hard house label Underground Construction and released a number of top selling CDs such as the House Blend, Straight Bangin’ and Raise the Volume series. In 2011, Venom signed with Hard Dance Nation, producing a monthly mix for their popular podcast series and championing the sounds of the American hard dance movement. After 2 decades of DJing, Venom still keeps a busy tour schedule bringing his relentless performances to the underground warehouse parties of the East Coast to the bright stages of EDC Vegas. Venom has a full length album due out in the summer of 2016 as well as slew of singles and remixes slated for release on a variety of labels including his own Morlock Musik.
